oh, no, i’m way past angry.

“If you pull the trigger on that, all of a sudden your dance card is going around promoting the possibility of it. And there is nothing else for me to chase regarding it. The upside of having that object would not validate the time or energy I spent anymore. And it’s not that I’m some transcending guy. I wish I was sitting here saying, ‘I already got 12 Oscars, I don’t need another one.’ But also again when you’re not a kid anymore, the things that you used to think were going to bring you the satisfaction you required to feel okay in your own skin, they evaporate a little bit.”

– Robert Downey Jr. on why he doesn’t want to campaign for an Oscar for his role of Tony Stark (on the Stern Show, Oct. 7, 2019)

You wanna do this whole lone gunslinger act, and it's unnecessary. You don't have to do this alone.

Obadiah Stane from Iron Man 1 is and always will be the best marvel villain. He was complex in the fact that he had a genuine longterm relationship with the protagonist, but twisted in the sense that through all that time there had never been any affection to his actions, only calculation. He was a believable villain. He was the bad guy we all know of, fitting himself into a dozen different boxes at once; the sleazy businessman who would do anything for power, the creepy guy your father knew who overused your name and touched you just that little bit too much. Everyone can find a reflection of someone they hate in Obadiah Stane's persona, and he invokes an emotional response in me and so many others that no other marvel villain has ever been able to reacreate. And its because He's so terrifyingly real, especially to female audiences who often see that sort of behaviour applied to them.

Honestly, it leads me on to further believe that Tony Stark was pretty heavily female-coded in his first film at the very least, as the Skeevy brand of antagonist that Obadiah embodies is conventionally one we would see in a film with a woman in the lead role. There is a surprisingly little amount of actual violence between them, with the evil acts mainly occuring in far more emotionally driven and personally invasive ways... much similar to many female-led films with a male antagonist. So not only is Stane disgusting on a moral level to the general audience, but many people, especially women, find him disgusting on a personal level too, adding that extra depth to his character that just cannot be recreated anywhere else.

The mcu peaked with it's first film, and no matter how terrifyingly purple and large any other mcu bad guys are, none of them will ever make me feel quite as scared and horrified as Obadiah Stane- the human businessman- did when he ripped out tony's heart and watched him die while Tony could do nothing but helplessly watch, detached from his own body.

Anyway Stan iron man 1.

Co-signed, 1000%. Obadiah Stane is such a foul being. Jeff Bridges turned in one heck of a performance, making me want to break the fourth wall for the sole reason of finding Stane’s grave and pissing on it.

not sure if i like this bc im picky but here’s a high school au stevetony redraw of a palette meme i never posted. (this took me like 4 months to finish oops lmao)

THEYRE SITTING ON BLEACHERS BTW i feel like i should mention that. steve is Swole Steve in this whoops

antthonystark

being an mcu stevetony person is. the funniest fucking thing in the world like on the one hand u have anti-steve tony stans who are like adamant that steve means nothing to tony and his only meaningful relationships are with the iron fam then u have the (more numerous n annoying) anti-tony steve stans who are far more adamant that tony means nothing to steve and his only meaningful relationships are with the cap fam and both these contingents resent any screentime that the two share and then u have the mcu itself which took a pair of very close best friends from the comics and made them fight each other in every movie such that they are frenemies at best and have like. 3 good friendly moments on screen and then there’s the eleven of us who still ship mcu stevetony w our clown wigs on in the middle of all this

I understand that they cut it for pacing and I agree with the choice but I love that in this scene Tony’s first reaction was to pick up a gun and fight and not just run.

metalpjsofdeatharchive

I love this deleted scene so much. Not only is it wonderfully proactive, which I adore on principle, it underscores something people tend to gloss over: Tony was a weapons designer and manufacturer. He designed and built weapons for a living. He knows how to use a gun, okay? He can likely take it apart, clean it, improve it, put it back together again, and hit what he aims at. He does not need Natasha or Clint to take him to the shooting range and teach him which end of a gun goes bang. Why doesn’t the gun work here? It jammed. That’s it. It happens. In short: Tony Stark does not need the suit to be a badass.

ironhale-blog

^all of that. couldn’t have said it better myself.

that’s probably one of my favorite (even though it’s a deleted one) scenes ever.

THANK U!!

“wake up, steve. bad dream?” “that depends. what kind of world am i waking up to?” “ours.”

“be safe, steve. win.”

“because of you, the world changed. i changed.”

“it was the spark that started the fire—a legend that grew in the telling. the great idea was expansion. and it started with two men. one was life. and one was death.”

“and you, steve. whether you believe it or not, i always trusted you. even during the darkest days—during the war—i never stopped believing in you.”

“i’ve got you, tony.”

“yours, steve rogers.”

“i know terrible things have happened and i hate it. i hate that we’re in this pattern of mutually assured destruction—you escalate, i escalate. tell me, steve! tell me what i can do! what can i do to make it stop!”

“mr. stark, when i woke up in this era, i had no one. nothing. you gave me a purpose, somewhere to belong… you gave me a home.”

“guess they’ll have to learn to love me. you did.”

“i’m not half as good at–at anything as i am when i’m doing it next to you. and that’s the truth.”

“and when the fighting is over and history is written … i can only hope that we will be remembered as more than just heroes. i hope that we will be remembered as I will always remember us … as friends.”

“how well do you remember that day [finding steve in the ice] tony?” “like it was yesterday. greatest day of my life.”

“how you could be my rudder, steering me when others couldn’t. i don’t know if i can do it without you. i certainly won’t do it as well. i miss your battle cry.”

“you know, shellhead… nobody’s called me ‘winghead’ like you just did since i left the avengers last year.”

“thank you, steve. how could i have forgotten? everything is much clearer now. i’m an engineer. nothing has changed but the tools and materials.”

“damn it. you’re making me want a drink, steve… and i know that wouldn’t make you happy.”

“i’m worried about you, if you don’t get some sleep.” “i slept for 70 years—” “yeah, you’ve used that line before.” “leave me alone, i am a senior citizen.”

it wasn’t worth it.

he loved you. he loved you and he admired you, even when you fought.

a whole generation of muslim and brown kids will grow up with kamala khan and will look upto her. marvel please don't fuck her up.

rodrickheffeley

can you imagine little brown girls growing up with a superhero who looks like them!? I need a moment-

marvel-lous-things

Little brown girls dressing up as Ms Marvel for Halloween

Little brown girls firmly believing that if Kamala can, then they can be superheros too

Little brown girls carrying ms marvel merch around and proudly proclaiming she's their favourite character ever

Little brown girls learning to take pride in their culture the way kamala does in hers

Little brown girls having a legitimate role model to look up to and grow alongside

Little brown girls and Kamala Khan

parkneroses

not parkner but FUCK this hits me right where i live

i didn’t know ms marvel is brown

i’m a brown girl born and raised in a small town in ireland. i don’t give one single fuck about statistics, i’m speaking from experience when i say EVERYONE AROUND ME AT ALL TIMES WAS WHITE. ALWAYS.

and then i would look in the mirror and wonder why i didn’t look like them

i remember once at a sleepover, i couldn’t have been older than ten, i told my friend a secret. that i wished i was white. i didn’t even realise how messed up that was until YEARS later when people like jameela jamil and naomi scott and ..... that’s kind of it ..... appeared in the mainstream media (don’t get me wrong i’m sure there are more than two brown girls in the media but like.. the fact that i can only name two off the top of my head should say something)

i found myself watching old fair&lovely ads on youtube and wishing i could try it (it’s a face lightening cream popular in south asia where light skin is seen as desirable and darker skinned women are encouraged to use bleach and other harmful methods of skin lightening sometimes even as children to look more western)

i never grew up with people like me in the media, and hearing about what’s happening with the little mermaid reboot made me so happy but fuck this just hits different

a whole generation of girls are gonna grow up with a strong proud brown woman that they can look up to and dress up as and everything and fuck i’m just so happy they’re not gonna go through the same shit as i did

amazingspidermans

when i was younger i thought that brown girls weren’t allowed to be the heroines in a movie because we weren’t white

when i was younger i wished that i was light skinned, blue eyed, and blonde because that was the best you could be

when i was younger (as young as nine years old) i remember my mom telling me to put on fair and lovely because it would make me lighter

when i was younger i remember being told to stay inside instead of having fun with everyone else so i wouldn’t get tan

when i was younger my relatives used to fawn over me because, to quote, “she has the loveliest pale skin”

when i was younger i remember looking at my dark skin, dark hair, and bland brown eyes and hating them

now that i’m older, i see a heroine, just like me, just like my younger sister, just like millions of girls told that their worth was as much as the lightness of their skin and how daintily they acted. i see a bold, unapologetic hero, and it feels so good
