I was really worried about that guy after CACW and really just kinda appreciated that after settling things up with the tower, he just.. goes on vacation. To someplace really really warm :)

yeah it was this delightful mix of seriousness and...i don't even know how to describe it, almost this kinda of whimsy? to tony? like he was/appears to be working within the accords, he's got pepper and happy and presumably rhodey, his relationship with peter not only remains intact but strengthens, he like goes to india and goes on retreats and just like all that terrifying focus seems to be going somewhere healthy. it's almost going to be whiplash in IW, but they've been building that storyline for multiple movies.

Same.. though I think there’s maybe something to be said for calling out someone who was always SUPPOSED to be someone’s father doing a poor job of it all through their development (Howard) versus someone who–we can assume–just eventually developed feelings for a kid he kidnapped and..didn’t handle it well.

oh yeah, definitely! i don’t think yondu has the kind of responsibility towards peter that howard did tony, so that does change the measuring stick. i just wasn’t really down with the narrative that ‘i was your real dad’ the movie sorta snuck in there because if you choose to believe it, its puts a whole new level of awful on the bad things that did happen to peter as a child as a direct result of yondu’s actions. 

and i think peter and yondu coming to view their relationship as father-son is perfectly valid if pretty ret-connish, so while i buy the emotions and the story, it’s the consequences of that story (and when they’re implying that relationship developed) that make me uncomfortable.

@vejiicakes replied to your post: Sorry this is so random, but I saw your tags on...

IMO this is why Steve AND Tony are both vital parts of the MCU team, to keep it philosophically balanced: Steve is right that they can’t let guilt keep them from doing their jobs and confidence in their decisions in the field is necessary. At the same time, they MUST take their failures to heart to some degree, and let it guide when they have to change their approach. Steve’s soldierly steadfastness and Tony’s engineering instinct to fix things that aren’t working as well as they should.

oooh, i like this. i always do like it when those two get to balance each other or be sides of the same coin.

Third clippy tic: have you considered whatever point you think you’re making with this Ross inclusion only underlines how little you understand govt structures/political process/the fact that characters in a movie aren’t watching events unfold the same as you and aren’t privy to the same info you have?

lol it just keeps going on past the speech bubble until the poster gives up.

Sigh just seems like more tinder for the TONY WAS WRONG TO DO ANYTHING BUT FALL IN LINE WITH TEAM CAP flames. Because I suspect the MCU’s determined to backpedal away from the entirely too reasonable international/accountability concerns raised in CACW by thoroughly burying them under ‘nope nvm vigilantes beholden to nothing and no one was the only way after all’

To be fair, I've been reading an interview with Michael Keaton, and he's said his Vulture is very much kinda like this guy standing in a crowd while the Avengers bring down buildings and stuff, tries to make a living off of it, and then one of Tony's companies takes over (when there's an accident? it wasn't clear) So the accountability stuff is still there. Right now I'm just kinda choosing to trust that the Russos will just move that whole plot right along because Tony is already looking forward, I just. I don't even want Tony to deal with other characters anymore, and that's sad. I just want him to protect and defend and be Iron Man. with Rhodey. Everyone else can maintain a ten foot distance at all times.

:

kinda looks like we’ll be pulling a Civil War in...

*buries face in hands*

if true they would have to pull off one hell of a motivation for Tony to do so. 'It's too dangerous' is not going to work from the guy that knew Peter was going to fight no matter what in Civil War, so taking away the suit for that reason would be dumb. Look, I just want Peter and Tony to remain friends, teacher/mentor, going into IW. I don't want Pete to be YET ANOTHER person Tony has to go apologizing to or whatever.

Is this the same character that early articles were like “he works for Tony Stark and then Stark fires him himself and directly because of that, he becomes a supervillain”..? I thought that was like the Tinkerer or something but. Hey no reason to stop at just *one* dude working under the Stark brand going bad to further cement this whole pattern the MCU has going on :/ (I’m sorry, your optimism truly gives me life, I’m just so anxious >_<)

Yeah, that's the guy, now he's a guy who lost his job because Tony's company took over his contract.
