oh wait wow what did you say? “i’m so jealous that tony is hands down the mcu character with the most prominent onscreen interactions with kids, arguably beating even mcu characters who are canonical fathers, that i saw a positive post about tony + young people and decided to come pester you personally over it?” or was it “i’m really pressed that the iron man franchise has “future generations” as a running theme so i’m here to make something toxic out of it?“ maybe it was “i’m super duper fine with all levels of superhero nonsense except when the young/teenage sidekick genre conventions apply to tony and the kids he meets?”

tbh i can’t really hear you over “tony was the single avenger ever prompted into significant long-lasting action over the death of a young man that he didn’t even know personally” and “tony and pepper are the single mcu characters shown dedicating some of their non-superhero life to addressing problems ailing the current generation of knowledge-hungry, underfunded young adults”

so yeah maybe catch me later when i’m not watching tony stark specifically giving attention to a kid wearing an iron man helmet when dozens of people are trying to catch his eye, tony stark happily interrupting his lunch to sign kids’ drawings, tony stark keeping fan mail from kids at random places in his house, tony stark recognizing and not ignoring the fact that a kid he’s just met is being bullied, tony stark somehow finding the time in his “save the world” agenda to get candy for that kid, tony stark wearing a little girl’s plastic dora watch and then buying her a new one when terrorists break it idk…. i’m too busy for your shit right now
