Tony Starks superpower is his undying ability to love selflessly. To be so passionate about everyone around him, his emotional vulnerability and his need to protect and take responsibility for the world.
Oh! Also his mind, I guess.
I live for this kind of post.
Guys but also?
His ass.
I mean, I used to lose faith in seeing a butt that perfect on a man. None seemed to fit. But Tony’s? Oh Tony’s fit so right.
Sometimes I think that butts are disappointing. Sometimes I feel like there’s no point in noticing them anymore. Then Infinity War happened. We think that Tony has the power to build or fight so well, but in reality? He has big booty energy. That does all of the work while we just get to sit back and watch. While we only focus on his repulsor beams or his lasers, we forget that Tony’s butt is behind it all, bouncing him to every step.
Never underestimate Tony’s greatest strength, and every knees weakness.
I made a weird noise at the gif and I honestly don’t know what it was
Just a few posts I collected that are nice examples of how Tony Stark is not just some self-centered jerk.
I’ve said it before, but you can’t take everything the man does at face value. He’s a deep and very human character that you have to pay close attention to and try to understand.
tony: i dont go down on women but i expect them to suck my dick and thats how KINGS live
thor a feminist:
this is fake news don’t EVER disrespect pepper like this
Didn’t he, like, canonically get pegged by gamora too lmaooooooo
Yes
Wait this was pegging? I HAD NO IDEA LIKE I WAS SO INTO THIS TONY GAMORA PANEL ALREADY AND NOW IT IS LIKE 5000000000000000 TIMES BETTER. AJSKALAKKAKAA.
I saw this and went: “Hang on now… I remember reading that. I did NOT think they were pegging.” Then I dug it out and had a closer look:
Panel two, bottom left corner — that is definitely a strap-on harness. This whole thing makes so much more sense now. I cannot believe I didn’t see that before.
Damn Gamora. Fierce.
Wait! Didn’t rdj also call tony a feminist in his interview!!!
Didn’t he also open a shelter and organization for women who needed help and let women run it because he knew as a man he (and other men) would never truly understand or help the right way? And we are talking about the same man who gave Pepper CEO of his multimillion dollar company?
Didn’t he like, okay trigger warning but didn’t he also take a teenage rape victim turned prostitute off the streets directly to the women shelter? Like…can we stop pretending that casual sex = misogynist when tony stark in canon has so explicitly addressed women’s issues? Has so explicitly supported women? Where’s that goddamn panel of tony giving vision dating advice about treating women like the whole entire individual they are and not like an enigma they talk about in dating magazines because that shit is relevant
I was just gonna ignore this post but it keeps coming up so let me add these:
And that was all before he quitted being a playboy, even as he lived his playboy life you never see him disrespect women and quite the opposite to what op is implying, he plays the role that serves and submits to his partner, and do I need to add how he is with pepper who he’s in a committed relationship with for more or less 8 years now:
Like I don’t care if that’s just a meme or joke but if you have to make it, make it accurate?? Praise Thor all you like, I stan him too, but trying to paint tony as a misogynist who disrespect women, I’ve got news for you.
y’all already handled the good fact-based commentary so I’m just going to chime in to express my shock that anyone has ever looked at Tony Stark and seen anything but a sub
Also, if your main evidence that MCU Thor is a feminist is that ridiculous blathering at Valkyrie in Ragnarok, I call bullshit. I’m not saying he’s not a feminist, or that there isn’t evidence in previous movies, but I’ve only been seeing all this “feminist Thor” stuff since Ragnarok, which makes me think people are just taking at face value some claims that are extremely suspect.

Millionaire playboy philanthropist got his ass OWNED. LITERALLY.
Thank you for defending Tony’s honor. The initial attack on him was completely unprovoked.
Me, banging pots and pans: “THIS SINGLE LINE IS SUPPOSED TO CONVEY TO THE VIEWER THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REPUTATION AND ACTUAL CHARACTER. HOW WE, THE VIEWER, WATCHED THE ENTIRE MOVIE FULLY AWARE THAT NARCISSISM IS THE FURTHEST MOTIVATOR FOR HIS ACTIONS AND THAT THAT PERSONALITY ASSESSMENT WAS UNFAIR, A VERY OBVIOUS AND DELIBERATE MOVE TO HIGHLIGHT THE THEME OF THE MOVIE WHICH WAS WHAT PEOPLE PERCEIVE OF THE CHARACTER VS WHAT WE, THE OMNIPOTENT AUDIENCE SEE OF THE CHARACTER. IF YOU THINK TONY STARK IS A NARCISSIST THEN YOU DIDNT WATCH THE MOVIE, OR HAVE THE GIANT ASS BLINDERS ON THAT MAKES VERY OBVIOUS PLOT POINTS MISS YOU FOR A MILE
thank you for coming to my TEDtalk
I think people have trouble with different layers of text. Subtext, dramatic irony, irony in general, implied authorial attitude toward events depicted (hint: not always approval)…
full offense, but does it ever hit you in the god damn gut that tony stark, protector, knight in shining armor tony stark –
mister “i saw young americans killed by the very weapons i created to defend them and protect them,” mister “i’m trying to protect the people i put in harm’s way,” mister “i hope i can protect the one thing i can’t live without,” mister “i see a suit of armor around the world,”
the guy who answers for his most paternalistic acts (like wanting to keep pepper and wanda locked in a mansion) with “i can’t protect you out there” and “i did it to protect you,”
tony stark, whose gradually worsening mental conditions show in his progressively more backwards, desperate attempts to protect people, tony stark who’s been trying to protect people to the point of harmful consequences,
that tony stark
is the single character
in the entire mcu
who has been accused
– by friends, enemies, and civilians alike
in every movie he’s been in –
of FIGHTING ONLY FOR HIMSELF
SIMILARLY
THIS TONY STARK
tony “i shouldn’t be alive” stark, tony “i’m not the hero type” stark, mister “you deserve better,” “you’re right, i don’t deserve her,” “it’s me, you’ll think of something [to complain about],” “you’re in a relationship with me, everything will never be okay,” “i saw them all dead, felt it, because of me,”
tony stark, who shoots his reflection and views himself as a “monster” and openly resents himself during his speech about charles spencer, THIS TONY STARK
IS THE SINGLE CHARACTER WHO’S CONSISTENTLY PERCEIVED, IN-UNIVERSE AND IN A META LEVEL BY MOST OF THE FANDOM,
