Your gateway to endless inspiration
Tony Stark is a terrible superhero, with awful morals.
Tony Stark blackmailed a child to get him into a fight with super-powered adults, tell him little to no information and lie to his guardian about where he is going, and smuggle him across the country without his guardian’s approval.
He shot the Air Force Pararescueman point-blank when he was going to help Rhodey after he fell out of the sky.
He tried to lock up a young woman just because of her powers and without any consent of hers at all.
He gloats at his friends for their defeat. He tried to murder the longest-suffering POW of World War 2 for something he had no control over doing whatsoever due to mind control.
Tony Stark is a representation of paternal capitalism and has always thought he knows best simply because he has money and is untouchable.
The one thing that will always surprise me is the number of fans Tony Stark seems to have, so many who defend him. ‘It was his PTSD!’ ‘It wasn’t child endangerment!’
That CHILD was fifteen fucking years old. I’m much younger than Tony, but I look at fifteen year olds and see kids. How can he not do the same? And how can nobody recognise that?
Also, every fucking Marvel character has some form of mental health issues. Steve was a soldier in WW2, lost his best friend multiple times, killed himself because of it, and woke up in a different century losing absolutely everybody he ever knew. They all died.
Tony Stark fans never fail to surprise me.
