The scene where Steve, Nat and Scott drop in on Tony at his lake house leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
5 years pass. During those 5 years, ostensibly, none of the Avengers bother to visit Tony, not once. It’s not until they are presented with a problem that only Tony can (potentially) solve, not until they NEED something from Tony that they decide to intrude upon his life stop by.
Tony is clearly unpleasantly surprised by their visit, which means there was no warning, no phone call, no nothing. They just … needed something form him, so they came over. Because that’s what they do.
THEN they all gang up on Tony with their brilliant “(not)-Back to the Future” idea that Tony just has to, HAS to accept…
leaving him to verbally defend himself against all of his teammates much like he did a few years back in AoU
And when Tony tells them he can’t risk it, can’t throw away his one chance at happiness on an extremely uncertain, implausible gamble. When Tony, whom they haven’t bothered to check on ONCE during these 5 years, knowing that he went through, at the very least, as much trauma as they did (it was more, but who’s counting), had graciously offered them to stay and spend some time with his family, because he f&cking MISSED them
They turn around and walk away - the ultimate spit-in-your-face move. Because he didn’t give them what they wanted, and therefore there was nothing for them to do there. Tony himself didn’t matter - the only thing that mattered was what he could give them. And since he refused to do it, they moved on to the next best thing - Bruce.
I wish… I WISH the writers for the ensemble films bothered to read the comics (or at least watch the AA cartoons) and adopt the team dynamic from them, where they all actually genuinely cared for each other. Because this? is not a team.
