It’s a major movie. It’s gonna be an amazing movie, obviously. But here’s the thing about really big, mash-up movies, there has to be a major character death. And- to my greatest despair-
it’s going to be Tony Stark.
Now, Tony Stark is my favorite character and I REALLY WANT TO FUCK HIM, but that doesn’t change that Marvel is heartless and will kill him. Here’s why he’s more likely to sacrifice himself/die in the movie-
he finished the Iron Man trilogy
he’s kind of predictable.. they’ve pretty much shown every part of him (emotionally) that they can. They’ve proven he’s selfless in the first Avenger’s movie, they’ve proven he’s capable to love in the third Iron Man movie etc..
they’ve made him WAY MORE MATURE. He’s grown up. His character pretty much finished development. He’s already sacrificed himself once, he’ll probably end up doing it again in Infinity War but not survive this time.
he’s a father figure. As much as I hate to admit it, there’s new blood coming in. Holland is an example of the new blood. A new generation of Marvel superheros is about to begin. They have to give Peter Parker something traumatic so they can use it in Spiderman’s next movies. The death of his father figure would probably do it.
Pepper would probably be pregnant, so the Stark line would continue.
Stark Industries would be in good hands.
Avengers team would go to Captain America
His character has pretty much done as much as he can for the team and the movies, the Avengers would keep the place in upstate ny, and all of Tony’s tech would be split up between the geniuses (banner, parker, etc..)
the only way to give iron man a Big Bang Moment would be to kill him. This is really hurting me to type.
He’ll basically pass all his knowledge down to Peter
He’s a major character, and a major character needs to die when fighting such a monstrous villain
the other characters have potential for future movies, iron man doesn’t
Okay this actually killed my heart to write, but I’m a sadist so enjoy the next 10 months of agony..
