I think the reason people hate Tony Stark so much is because they simply cannot understand what a true redemption arc is. Tony is the embodiment of realizing one’s mistakes and repenting for them for the rest of one’s life. From the moment Tony got hit with the shrapnel in his chest and realized his own ignorance and naivete, he’s dedicated his existence to destroying everything Stark Industries previously represented, more so after Yinsen died to give him a chance at escaping.

Yes, Tony made mistakes. That’s the point. Ignorance is not excusable, even if Stane was the one to do the bad deeds, and he is just as guilty (arguably a bit less than Stane). But he has more than paid for that ignorance. The arc reactor, his plenty near death experiences, his PTSD, anxiety, the near loss of both Pepper and Rhodey — all of that is his punishment (and his own mind which places ten times more guilt on his shoulders than should).

If people can’t move past his mistakes and see him for the hero he is, then that means that they aren’t able to give people second chances and don’t believe people change.

Tony wasn’t a pillar of morality and American patriotism since he came out of the womb like Steve, he had to grow and change and learn from his mistakes to get to the version of himself that he is today. And that is the reason people love him — because, putting his wealth and genius aside, Tony Stark is all of us. He is human, he errs, he grows and betters himself. Tony Stark is the hero all of us can be the minute we stop living in ignorance and work towards changing our ways.
