somehow someway I will find a way to correlate (part of) elons popularity to marvel using tony stark —billionaire inventor with war profiteering parents — as the face of the mcu

It is wild, as they say, that after 9 years, holding that Tony was morally wrong to try to murder Bucky in Civil War is still a controversial position.

Are Tony fans really such a morality void that they have to condone murder and revenge-killing.

[eunuchorn]

Thing is, I would have so much more sympathy for Tony - and more understanding for his stans' position on this - if he had just been sorry about it.

Yes, it was 100% morally wrong for Tony to try to murder Bucky (and possibly Steve), but many of the Avengers have done morally reprehensible things. The difference is that they came to regret it and took steps to make amends. T'Challa, for example, also tried to kill Bucky, and he did it based on faulty information and an overwhelming rage and grief that clouded his judgement. But he overcame it. He realized that he was wrong, even decided to spare his father's actual killer, and took steps to make up for what he put Bucky through by helping him in Wakanda.

Tony, by contrast, never showed that he regretted trying to kill Bucky. He even knew from the start (unlike T'Challa) that Bucky ultimately wasn't responsible but he tried to kill him anyway. And then he spent the next two years being angry at Steve about the whole thing, refused to call him even when the world was at risk, and then threw a whole tantrum about how mean Steve was to him. He never acknowledged that what he did was wrong.

He never apologized. He never acted sorry. And that's where his true moral failing lies, in my opinion.

MCU really screwed Tony. In the comics, Howard wasn't killed by the Winter Soldier. Hydra had nothing to do with it.

Screw MCU for sullying Tony's persona in a way that probably can't be mended.

I'm not an Iron Man fan, but I don't like it when MCU leaves detritus like this unresolved.

[legalandnotease]

I mean I agree, but I think that they really screwed Bucky's character as well.

There is a rumour that the whole storyline about Bucky killing the Starks in CW was created because Bucky was getting "too popular" with fans after Winter Soldier.

Some showrunners were worred, and so they needed Bucky do something which would turn fans against him and make them hate him.

Sadly, it worked a little too well. Also sadly, they did not consider the long -term implications of this plot point and seem to have forgotten about it afterwards.

The problem is many still treat what happened as some unforgivable sin, and nothing Bucky ever does will absolve him of it in their sight. No matter how much they try and make him into a hero going fowards.

Well, if it's a rumor than it's probably not true.

I highly doubt, y'know, anyone at Marvel Studios was worried about Bucky being "popular" and had to make him do something bad so people would ... hate him? (For some reason.) -- these people are Hollywood screenwriters, not machiavellian masterminds.

[legalandnotease]

Yeah. I'm sure one of the fan favorite characters from Captain America: The Winter Soldier the movie that literally outgrossed both Iron Man 1 and 2, the movie that's still considered one of the most successful and most beloved in MCU history wasn't popular *at all*

these people are Hollywood screenwriters, not machiavellian masterminds.

You don't have to have a high IQ to understand fandom and how fickle it is. If you want to turn fans off a character all you have to do is make them hurt *the favorite*.

And it's weird they invented that one storyline for that one character that had no basis in the comics which revolved around *hurting the fave* which is the one unforgivable sin in fandom circles.

I think a big thing that people are overlooking is how Hobie looks out for his own and how much that coincides with punk culture.

Him looking out for younger teens is so fucking punk of him. He lets Gwen stay with him because she's vulnerable and struggling, he makes her a watch, he lets her keep his shoes, etc. and it's not out of romance, it's because she's family. Same with Miles; he knows Miles is naive and wants to help him, because he's been in the spider society longer and he knows what's really going on. He sees the adults, who are supposed to mentor them, targeting Miles and he just knows it's flat-out wrong and that he wants no part of it.

Hobie takes on such a big brother role for the other characters and I love it. He's more mature than the other teens in so many aspects, and he uses his experience to teach them how to get by because that's what being punk is about

tony:

— lost literally NO ONE in the snap

— NO ONE

— literally made an entire family and new happy life for himself during the five years everyone was gone

— was not planning to rescue peter for a good portion of the film bc he didn’t want to risk ruining his HAPPY LIFE at the moment

— peter isn’t HIS kid

— peter was only involved because tony TRICKED and MANIPULATED him into being there in the first place

[msmarvelamerica-deactivated2021]

Tonky, who still has Pepper, Happy, Rhodey and later Morgan: “Yeah Steve, I know you lost Bucky and Sam and Wanda and T’Challa and Vision, and Peggy recently died as well, but this is about me alright? I lost this 15 year old kid I dragged into a fight and then ghosted for months only to scream in his face at any given moment and then ignore him again. Like lmao, you can’t compare to ME about loss, I lost my whole whooping parents I always hated when I was an adult, and now I lost this kid, what have you lost huh?? Not more than me!”

Steve, who has lost his entire world, all his friends, all his family, all his support from the 1940s, and now lost all his best friends again: “I’m sorry for your loss :(”

Because even when he’s lost everything again Steve has empathy the size of Earth itself, and will try to comfort others. Like wtf did that Tonky completely gloss over the scene where Bucky stumbled at Steve and then turned into dust before Steve’s eyes?

‘Sweet cheeks?’ She had cherubic cheeks. It’s a compliment. ‘Sweet cheeks’ is your butt. No, it’s not. It is. It’s like calling somebody, I don’t know, ‘sugar tits.’ That’s totally inappropriate!

wanda crying on the floor of her variants house bc her kids are scared of her for hurting their mum so wandas variant cups her face and says “know that they’ll be loved” is something that can be so personal to me

the fuckin “what mouth?” scene in MoM was definitely the most terrifying thing that’s ever happened in the mcu
