something about tony stark because i miss him;
in tony’s final speech, he says: ‘everybody wants a happy ending, right? but it doesn’t always roll that way. maybe this time.’
by saying ᴇᴠᴇʀʏʙᴏᴅʏ we should assume he means himself too, yeah?
he made this tape because he knew he was gonna die, essentially. so doesn’t that mean that he was happy to die?
all those times that he tried to sacrifice himself for ‘the sake of the world’ or whatever, he would always come back. one of his other lines is: ‘I shouldn’t be alive.’
put that in with the fact that in infinity war, after watching the people he cared about get dusted, he held his hand out, as if he was expecting himself to go, too. but he didn’t. he didn’t leave, and so after when he’s crying and upset, sure, it’s because all of his loved ones are gone. but could it also be because now that he’s alone he has no one to distract him? maybe he thinks he deserved to go too. but maybe what was worse for tony was the fact that his worst fear came true. he lost everyone and he believed it was his fault for not being strong enough.
how about the scene where he shoots his own reflection? or when he locks himself in his lab? or when he blames himself for peter’s death? or when he felt so bad for losing peter that he almost died in space?
yeah. he went through all of that and although he died, he got through 11 years as a strong, independent, unforgettable character who will forever be missed.
my hero isn’t ironman. no, my hero is tony stark.
