What's your Age of Ultron /unpopular opinion?
I lost respect for the team when they let Thor do this:
No one did anything to stop him. Cap only says one thing and somehow Thor obeys him.Â
The double standard in these movies when it came to Tony. All of them have done terrible stuff, none of them are perfect. Many of the things they accuse Tony of, theyâve done it themselves:
Natasha: one of the most feared assassins in Russia. (killed a lot of people on her past, something Tony has also been responsible for) Her reputation made it to SHIELDâS hit list and was considered a potential threat to global security to the point SHIELD sent Clint to kill her. Incidents like Budapest, Osaka, the childrenâs ward, the hospital fire (itâs implied she was sent in to make an assassination look like an accident and started a fire which ended up killing a number of innocent people.), SĂŁo Paulo, etc. Loki: âBarton told me everything. Your ledger is dripping, can you wipe out that much red? it's gushing red and you think saving a man no more virtuous than yourself will change anythingâ
Thor: started as a reckless arrogant god with a large ego to the point that the first thing he did as a king was to sacrifice the lives of innocent people including his own friends to go to war against the Frost Giants even if his father warned him not to go to Jotunheim, this led Asgard to be at war and him to be proven unworthy by betraying Asgard and his loved ones by his actions, chose to taunt Thanos instead of going for the instant kill even knowing how many lives were at stake, this gave Thanos the opportunity to muster the strength to snap his fingers, all of this because he was dealing with grief (something Tony did with Bucky). "Loki's rage followed me here and your people paid the price. And now again. In my youth, I courted war."
Steve: a war criminal by choice, refused to sign papers that could be negotiable over time and refused to hand over control requested by 117 countries, refused to tell Tony about his parentâs death even if he was Howardâs friend and Tony was housing him with commodities, even knowing the truth, he still looked down on Tony and treated in a condescending ways; someone as âhonorableâ as him judged Tony from the very beginning without knowing him personally, the civilians killed in Lagos because he got distracted, he treated those civilians as âcasualtiesâ on the day to day job, refused to sign again only because Tony had Wanda inside a facility where she can be protected, throws a tantrum and calls wanda a âkidâ then proceeds to fight Peter Parker with no problems and even throws him a piece of aircraft equipment without knowing the kidâs strength, then made Clint bring Wanda into a war she wasnât supposed to be part of (something Tony did with Peter), put his entire team in danger and risked their lives at his own petition, went back in time and got rid of Peggyâs agency; someone who was happily married with kids, he was willing to tear the Avengers apart for Bucky but given the option, he still left said friend to suffer for years even if he knew he was being tortured, etc. âI'm sorry. Steve. That - that is dangerously arrogant. This is the United Nations we're talking about. It's not the World Security Council, it's not SHIELD, it's not HYDRA.âÂ
Clint:Â became a brutal assassin who kills people he believes are unworthy to have been spared from the snap, left his wife and kids for a fight he had no business in even if he was retired and it wasnât a requirement from his part to sign the accords, constantly putting his own family in danger, mockingly told Wanda to go back to school if she wanted to âmopeâ over the death of civilians in Lagos, became a war criminal by his own volition blaming Tony for his own choices and accused him of being responsible of Rhodeyâs misfortune, made of all this deal only to be placed under house arrest and agree to follow the Sokovia Accords as he shouldâve done from the very beginning in benefit of his own family, under Lokiâs control he helped him steal the Tesseract, escape and inform him all about the members of Fury's team, including the dangerousness of Hulk, Black Widow's past, and the power of Stark Tower. While doing this, he shot and killed many people and helped unleash the hulk (Tony was also a victim of someoneâs mind control), Rhodey to Natasha about Clint:Â "What he's done here, what he's been doing for the last few years... I mean the scene that he left... I gotta tell you there's part of me that doesn't even want to find him."
Bruce: just like Tony, he wasnât informed of the real intention under the militaryâs plans and worked on a dangerous serum for the United States Armed Forces, then upped the dosage of the gamma radiation serum to impress Bettyâs dad and the hulk was created (playing with something he didnât know about, something Tony has also been accused of), this also resulted in him killing two scientists, an army officer, and many others, heâs also responsible for Ultron not only Tony, under Wandaâs mind control (Tony was also a victim of Wandaâs mind control), the Hulk destroyed the city of Johannesburg; largest city in South Africa and Bruce was in talks to be arrested, Tony prevented that. "Only when I've created a murder-bot."
The list goes on and on. All of them have done horrible things, and somehow Tony is the one they see as the one they shouldnât trust, the one they should watch their backs before he âbetraysâ them. Tony deserved to say every word he said here:
