I want to thank my mother for pushing me into learning English as a child. Without it I wouldn’t be able to read and write gay, smutty fanfiction. Thank you mom. You did the right thing.
My favorite thing about Tony Stark is that you can ship him with so many different people, and I can find at least one reason to get behind all of them
ok anyway, in im3, tony yells NO! right as, and maybe a little bit before, he fails to catch pepper’s hand (like as soon as that whole metal structure tilts), and not after. when rhodey’s falling in cap 3, tony yells NO! way before rhodey hits the ground, but not as soon as rhodey’s shot and starts falling
this makes me think of the im1 novelization: when tony uses the faulty flight power of the mark 1 to boost him out of the terrorist camp, he figures out mid-fall what his trajectory was and what would be the force of his impact against the ground or whatever. similarly, when that SI rocket lands right next to him during the ambush, the first thing he does is to consider the distance between him and the thing and he quickly concludes that he won’t be able to get out of the blast range
so now i’m emotional over tony’s seemingly preemptive cries of NO! in light of this thing where he’s constantly doing the math in his head. so for instance, with pepper, he’s ~relatively chill and reassuring and confident that he’s gonna catch her, up until that rig unexpectedly tilts – and that would be the moment when pepper veers off the trajectory tony had projected for her and he knows he won’t be able to adjust in time, so he starts crying out BEFORE we ever get the shot of him missing pepper’s hand. and then with rhodey in cap 3, he realizes rhodey is going down and goes back for him, and then the point at which he actually cries out would have been the point when the numbers clicked in tony’s head and he realized he wouldn’t be able to get to rhodey before rhodey hit the ground
and i’m in pain because if we’re to go with this, then we have tony grasping his failure before it even happens
Plot twist of the season: Thanos is the surprise participant

I tried to find everything but if you know of more AU content, feel free to add.
Now, I think we’re all pretty devastated after Infinity War. That movie was like a boxing match. It was like Infinity War was Muhammed Ali and we were Sonny Linston. And we know there are many deaths to come. With that, I just wanted to say:
Either Tony or Rogers WILL die. One of them will, and we’ll just have to deal. But I ask of you, and this goes both to Tony stans and Cap stans, please, please don’t be assholes to eachother.
Don’t write a paragraph about how happy you are Tony died and how he deserved it.
Don’t celebrate Roger’s death.
Don’t rub these characters’s death in the face of their fans just because you don’t like them. Both Rogers and Tony have affected the MCU fanbase in greater ways than we can possibly know, and brought their fans happiness in their own ways, with their unique qualities and flaws and character depth that made them relateable to fans from all around the world.
We’re talking about two of the most beloved Marvel characters. Characters a lot of fans love, and relate to. If (and when) Tony Stark dies, its going to be the saddest day of my life.
Because I honest to God love that self-sacrificing sad dork. Iron Man was the first superhero movie I’ve watched, and this character holds a very special place in my heart, because I could relate to him in so many ways, and he made me care about him like he was a real person. I felt like I had a friend. And when he dies, it will devastate me and so many more fans.
Rogers had and still has the exact same impact as Tony for his fans. Do I particularly care if he DOES indeed die? No. Because I dislike Rogers and what he’s done and the decisions he made, so his death wouldn’t affect me. But will I be a nasty bitch to Team Cap fans and be smug because the character they loved dearly and probably had a huge role in their lives had died? No. Why? Because I’m not a fucking mean person.
So when Avengers 4 DOES come, here is what I’d like to do:
Forget about Team Iron Man and Team Cap for the day and enjoy the movie as a collective.
Comfort Tony Stark fans if Tony dies even if we dislike Tony or not.
Comfort Steve Rogers fans if Rogers dies even if we dislike Rogers not.
Example: “So hey, i didn’t really like Cap/Tony, but I know you did and I’m sorry that happened. I’m here if you need to talk.”
Don’t be mean to one another.
Just be nice to eachother for a day and then we can go back to the petty shit.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
you: my body is 70% water
me, an intellectual: my body is 70% wholeheartedly loving tony stark juice
I am thinking Thanos definitely didn’t know who Tony was because of the Soul Stone now, because it just hit me: Thanos had no idea Strange wasn’t alone when he first arrived on Titan. When Strange says “I think you’ll find our will equal to yours,” Thanos is like, “Our…????” and then KRAKOOM! Tony slams him.
If the Soul Stone has passive abilities, like knowing who everyone is, then wouldn’t he have known immediately Strange wasn’t there alone? Furthermore, we never see the Soul Stone light up. The first time we do is when Thanos uses the gauntlet to find out which Strange is the real one after Strange splits into multiples.
If this is the case, then Thanos knew who Tony was before he ever arrived on Titan. Which means either: Thanos was spying on him (like @ruffaled theorized, sending an Outrider/Chitauri agent to pry his thoughts, or even doing recon on Earth for information about Stark, most likely in response to Tony blowing out his entire army) OR Thanos has had premonitions that Tony was out there – much like how Tony has had a feeling about Thanos (which then kind of says something about each other being one’s “destiny”).
It would be funny if Nebula knew about Thanos’s interest in Tony, especially if this has been happening for six years, which could lead to a conversation in the next film. Maybe Nebula tells Tony, “My father is obsessed with you,” which wouldn’t help his paranoia at all.
Me and my friend joked that the Avengers should live up to their name in the next movie and against Thanos
*puts 50 bucks in the pot*
Avengers: Vengeance
Rumor has it the title will be dropping this Wednesday (and maybe even as early as tomorrow). So, everyone, what is your final guess as to the title of A4?
Mine is Avengers: Extinction.
My fave thing about those new Marvel posters is the group one :) it says "more than a Hero" and Ironman is at the top of the poster, exactly where the heart of the MCU should be!
Because he is the heart.
Beaming in the middle, shining like a star.
This says it all.
Has this watch been posted before? I can't be the only one who noticed...
Tony is standing in front of Thanos!
Tony stands protecting before his friends and team partners, absolutely all who are important to him. His arms are wide open, as if to say
"this far and no further"
"you will not harm them"
"I will not fucking allow it ya hear me"
"first you must pass me"
“over. my. dead. body.”
TONY IS STANDING IN FRONT OF THANOS! With his BACK to his probably greatest arch-enemy and he doesn't care how much he has to give and take. He’s ready to die. Tony Stark is protecting the universe, his family and friends and a world that never loved him.
Friendly reminder that Tony loses FRIDAY as soon as the Q-ship leaves Earth. That means throughout the entire fight sequence on Titan, it is Tony’s quick thinking and pure ingenuity that’s controlling the nano bots on the bleeding edge armor. It’s 100% Tony bringing out all of the big guns against Thanos and also withstanding the power stone, which is known to destroy entire worlds.
Tony Stark, an ordinary human being pushing 50 with an extraordinary mind, fights Thanos without an AI and single-handedly makes the purple grape bleed - even if it’s just a drop. Just think about that…
Reminder that a grand total of two (2) people managed to draw blood on Thanos, and one was an actual literal god, and the other was —– a super soldier? No. The hulk? No. An alien with higher than average strength? No —- the other was Tony motherfreakin Stark, kids; Tony The Unenhanced Human Stark. Tony Thanos-knows-his-name Stark. Tony threat is imminent Stark. Tony earth is closed today Stark. My sun, my stars, my beloved boy: Tony Stark.
Thanos says ‘I hope they remember you’ and Tony just huffs and replies ‘they probably won’t’
I know the popular theory on how Thanos knew Tony’s name is ~the soul stone~
… but I love the idea that Tony has been inside Thanos’s head for six years just like Thanos has been inside Tony’s head for six years. Given how much they’ve been pushing parallels, it honestly wouldn’t surprise me.
Imagine Thanos waking up from a nightmare. He’s covered in a cold sweat, pulling the bed sheets tight around his shoulders. He starts rocking back and forth–
“Stark is out there…” he whispers under his breath. His purple ass is shook. ‘Cause he knows there’s this guy out there who is gonna fuck his shit up one day.
Like the idea of this big, bad Titan fretting over this goober:
… Yes. That’s why he knew Tony’s name. Fear. Absolute dread.
i’m fucking screaming over these fucking parallels asdfghdksl
1. first off, we got the fucking physical resemblance between bald eagle™️ and bald blueballs™️ (thanos is literally obadiah stane but in purple)
2. they are both power hungry psychosluts who don’t give a shit bout who they gotta kill to achieve their goals of world domination and playing “god” - stane was also willing to kill pepper, while space willis™️ over here yeeted his own daughter off a cliff in order to be able to kill evEN MORE people with just the Snap of his eggplant fingers what a lazy fuck. if ur gonna kill people then do it right. purple nutsack is too fucking lazy to get off his fat ass and murder people with his mayweather fists so he gotta snap his fingers instead like a dainty lil disney princess smh
3. even the frames are fucking similar!!!! the close-ups on both thanos and obadiah’s wrinkly ballsack chins as they get all up in tony’s grill, invading his personal space
4. they are both “reassuring” tony that his legacy to the world after they kill him will be the exact things he fought so hard to prevent/change: - obadiah torments tony, telling him that his arc reactor will be used to create even more weapons for world domination (“it’s ironic, tony; you tried to rid the world of weapons, but you gave it its best one ever”) - thanos promises tony that after he kills him, he will go on to carry out his masterplan to kill half the universe, just as he intended. however, this is also done out of respect (“you have my respect, stark”) - treating tony as a noble warrior, and wishing that his ‘sacrifice’ (while in vain) will be remembered by those that survive The Snap.
5. they both got tony on his last dying breath: - obadiah ripped out tony’s “heart” - aka the arc reactor aka his literal life source - thanos stabbed tony with his own fucking shiv and most likely punctured his lung (tony was literally gasping for air and coughing up blood)
6. in conclusion, w t f (feat. internal screaming)
(realization hit me in a conversation with @starkravinghazelnuts )
Speaking of my Infinity Gauntlet theory, this graphic edit by UltraRaw26 makes me salivate.
GIVE IT TO ME NOW, MARVEL.
Okay so a soul stone powered Yinsen Tony reunion is number 2 on my avengers 4 wish list (after Tony surviving of course.) Seeing as this whole era of the mcu has been so much about fathers and Yinsen is the father figure who set this whole thing in motion, it’s only fair! Come on soul stone! Gimme!
“The power required to use all of the stones at once is so significant that it sends Thanos into this dream state. You’ll notice his arm is damaged post the snap, the gauntlet is damaged post the snap, it’s the incredible energy required from it and only because of his strength is he able to survive actually using the gauntlet in that capacity.” - Joe Russo, Director of Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, & Avengers 4
There’s been two quotes – one from screenwriter Christopher Markus and one from director Joe Russo – emphasizing Thanos required energy and suffered damage to his left arm to use the Infinity Gauntlet. What’s odd is these are two things associated with Tony, which makes me think there’s a likelihood we’ve been getting hints all along Tony will use the gauntlet to reverse what Thanos has done.
… Maybe it’s been in front of us the whole time:
Tony: “[Howard] was cold, he was calculating. He never told me he loved me. He never even told me he liked me, so it’s a little tough for me to digest when you’re telling me he said the whole future was riding on me and he’s passing it down. I don’t get that.”
Howard [to Tony]: “[The New Element] is the key to the future. I’m limited by the technology of my time, but one day you’ll figure this out. And when you do, you will change the world. What is and always will be my greatest creation is you.“
I don’t want to have to fight anymore, I’m tired. I don’t want to have to feel anymore uninspired.
