Us: Ok but can Tony be happy with Pepper now?
Marvel: no, in Avengers, Tony loses Coulson, fights aliens, realizes the danger coming, is traumatized, and he sacrifices himself and almost dies again.
Us: Okay can you leave Tony alone and let him be happy now?
Marvel: Now in Iron Man 3, Tony has ptsd, nightmares, insomnia and anxiety attacks. The fear that the aliens will come back is constantly torturing him, he's afraid that he can't protect his loved ones. He almost loses Pepper but everything is fine and he removes his arc reactor.

Marvel: No, in Avengers 2 he has a vision of his biggesr fear, and sees all his friends die. He tries to protect everyone but no one listens to him, they criticize him, and blame him. And he thinks he will die again in Sokovia.
Us: But Tony doesn't deserve all this suffering! Can you let him build his farm for him and Pepper and live happily as he always wanted?
Marvel: no no. In Civil War for him it's pain pain and more pain. He is not with Pepper anymore. A mother comes to tell him that he is responsible for her son's death. He is betrayed and abandoned by everyone. He learns that his parents were killed and sees them die, he learns that his friend knew and lied to him. He is attacked, seriously injured and left alone in Siberia.
Us: Oh my god but why is he always the one who suffers the most?? he doesn't deserve this at all!!
Marvel: In Homecoming he helps Peter, he still has anxiety attacks and worries about him but everything ends well. He's back with Pepper and they're getting married.
Marvel: Just kidding, in Infinity War he has to go into space and risk his life even though all he wants is kids and a quiet life with Pep. He has to face his biggest fear that has terrified him for 11 years, ane which finally becomes reality. And he loses Peter in his arms.
Us: We beg you, please, let him live with his family and be happy forever, after all he's been through..
Marvel: So, in Endgame first he'll spend weeks in space with no water, no food and no oxygen just waiting to die. Then he'll get a taste of what happiness is, he'll be married and have a child. But all this to die 5 years after, and losing everything. And that at the very moment when he bring Peter back and could finally be happy.
Marvel: Yeah, this ending is perfect. 5 years is enough, Tony's life is finished.
