“Big man in a suit of armour. Take that off, what are you?”

Tony Stark’s Iron Man suits allow him to level up to his enemies and be equally matched in power, strength, durability, endurance… He was never injected with a super-soldier serum and given super-human abilities like Steve Rogers. He was never bitten by a radioactive spider like Peter Parker. He doesn’t have any special skill-sets, acquired by years and years of professional, super-secret spy training, like Black Widow or Hawkeye. He doesn’t even have a huge, green, rage monster alter-ego like Bruce Banner. 

Nothing.  It’s his armour that gives him all of his super-powered abilities. His armour is the only thing that offers him any protection in battle. Beneath the suit, he’s just a regular human being. A civilian who made a conscious choice to don that armour ten years ago, to fight evil.  And here he is, ten years later, fighting one-on-one against the most powerful being in the universe.

With every punch,

Every hit,

Every devastating blow dealt by Thanos, Tony’s armour is gradually ripped apart, exposing the vulnerable human flesh and bone hidden underneath. 

Yet, he still fights. 

The one thing that offers his human body any protection, destroyed. But he’s not backing down. He keeps on fighting. He keeps on pushing himself. He knows it’s futile. Knows he is hopelessly outmatched in hand-to-hand physical combat against a Mad Titan with the power of four Infinity Stones. But he doesn’t stop. 

Even while fully exposed and vulnerable, Tony continues to fight. He fights with courage. With bravery. With determination. With desperation. With fear. 

He fights with his whole heart.

He fights until he physically cannot fight anymore. 

When Tony takes off that armour, or, in this case, is stripped of it, he will still fight with everything in him. He will continue to fight to the very end. 

Tony Stark is Iron Man, and he is just as much of a hero without the armour as he is with it.

There is literally no way you can come out of that theatre with a reason to hate Tony Stark. Literally no way. He was perfect and he was sad and he was so fucking strong, all the fucking time, he went toe to toe with Thanos without hesitation and paid the price for it, but he went and did it anyway. This was Peak Tony Stark. Again.

so i saw some people discussing how loki in ragnarok shouldn’t have been at all phased or subverted by dr. strange – which i agree with, but also, hey, it’s comedic and you can argue that he was taken off-guard, but upon re-watch, something stuck out to me –

there’s this moment when they appear at the bottom of the stairs and thor rolls down the last couple and stands up and he says

we could’ve just walked.

and it made me think of how magic works in terry pratchett’s novels, how (to paraphrase) the hard part wasn’t turning someone into a frog, it was not turning someone into a frog when you knew how easy it was.

like, the whole scene with dr. strange is just. all magic. all pointless magic. unnecessary magic, when, well. they could have just walked.

whereas loki doesn’t really rely on magic overmuch in the movie – he uses it as a tool, when he needs it, but if the job can be done with plain old non-magical trickery or a knife, he just uses those. he resorts to magic when he’s cornered by valkyrie, he uses it when his goals are most directly accomplished by using magic rather than by other means.

whereas dr. strange is using magic all over his scene, just to use it. just because he can. magic was unnecessary for ninety percent of what he did in that scene, the only time he needed magic was to whisk them away to norway. but he teleported all over the place even when he only needed to move a few feet, gave thor an ever-refilling beer that just spilled everywhere, floated around to make a show of how ~magical~ he was, when…

he could have just walked.

i mean, i’m very sure that the filmmakers intended it for comedic effect, but there’s also a layer there of dr. strange being much less comfortable with magic than loki is – loki doesn’t need to bust out the magic at every opportunity, it’s simply a skill, a tool that is completely under his control and at his disposal. whereas dr. strange (at least in his scene in ragnarok) is showing off, which reeks of insecurity.

i guess i’m thinking… if you take the magic away, loki is still a deadly, formidable opponent with many tricks up his sleeve, but dr. strange is just a guy in a cape.

[johnnythirteenguns-deactivated2]

this is good and true because in the comics loki and dr strange got in a fight in a parking lot and then both of them had their magic taken away so loki just punched stephen through a wall and called it a gay ass day

“did chris evans actually jump that high to grab onto that helicopter in civil war?”

friendly reminder that chris vaulted with ease over chris pratt after just telling him less than a minute before that he would be able to clear him if he only put his head down.

I want a Celebrity Obstacle Course show where all the pretty people can show off their hard stunt work for us and also occasionally eat it, because they need to be humbled sometimes. The judges would be career stunt people, to give them visibility, because they work even harder. Shirts optional.

[tygermama]

You wouldn’t even finish the phrase “Celebrity Ninja Warrior” before Chris would start jumping up and doing yelling “Me! Me! Pick me!”

[anotherdayforchaosfay]

Anyone know how to contact Netflix about this?

[musicalninja]

friendly reminder Chris did most of his stunts bc the stunt guys couldn’t move like him.

“One thing we found, too, is Chris can run very fast. He also has a very unique run. It’s almost a dancer’s run. And when we tried to double him for running, there was nobody who could run like him. They just didn’t have the same dynamics or the way he moves. He had to end up doing most of his running.”

“What we also found, is that we had gymnasts come in to do things, and Chris could do the same stuff that they could do, but it would look like Chris Evans. When the body doubles or the gymnasts or the runners did it, it just didn’t look like him. He has such a unique way of moving, and he could pretty much do all of his own physical stuff that wasn’t dangerous. Like this shot right here, we had a gymnast do this, and Chris actually ended up doing it better. That’s Chris here. He hops up on a tank and over a 12-foot wall. It looks effortless but it’s not that easy!”

“Chris worked his butt off for four months doing gymnastics and stunt training so in a scene like this he could go toe-to-toe with Georges St-Pierre and make it look really credible. Once the helmet comes off, 95% of that is Chris, except obviously for that massive aerial kick that he does. I think he did a fantastic job.”

The really cool thing about Chris Evans is that he’s a super talented, athletic guy. He retains things amazingly well. I mean, I’m blown away. I can show him a 15-punch fight two times, and he’s got it. - Thomas Harper, Stunt Coordinator, CATWS

Q. When do you think you looked your best, in general? Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. When I watch that movie, I say, “You were beautiful. And now…you just need to accept the fact that you’re going to age as gracefully as possible.” I think it was also just because me and the missus were in lockstep. No kids. Not married yet. We saw nothing but each other. And we had a project. And it’s [director] Shane Black. Who, you know, it’s hard not to adore. And 35 days of night shooting. I mean, we were giddy. But I think there was something about sleeping till two o'clock in the afternoon every day, where it reminded me of when we were all beautiful young club kids. It was also very good lighting. - Robert Downey Jr.
