Can we just discuss someone telling Tony that he's too emotional?
That dude hopefully has a good plastic surgeon because God help his nose if Rhodey is around to hear that.
((Or anyone else fond of Tony. Let’s go with Natasha because I am BREATHING TonyNat friendship like air.))
HONESTLY, Tony’s been told from the start that he can’t show emotions, because that will be seen as a weakness. I cant remember if they actually used that famous “Stark men don’t cry” line in the MCU ((Doubt it)) but !!!!!!!!!
BUT!!!!!!!!!!!
Howard made damn sure to teach Tony not to be emotional/ hide his emotions and as we see, it IS a struggle for Tony to open up about something to someone. It requires a shitload of trust from him and he’s incredibly quick to retreat back into his shell if that trust is broken in any way.
Like, we do see him emotional when he gets surprised but RATHER it happens when he’s alone. ((Or when he’s around Rhodey))
SO YEAH
May God rest the poor bastard’s soul who decided to tell Tony he’s “too emotional” because Tony sure as hell ain’t that emotional to begin with and showing emotions takes a lot for him SO
a line like that would only make him feel worse cue him reverting into his “press smile and devil may care attitude” to defend himself.
Rhodey makes short work of that asshole’s nose.
Natasha makes sure they never find that guy again.
