I compared him to Tony Stark because of their similar “humor” – and I put that in quotes because Tony is actually funny. You are right though, new Thor didn’t give a shit about anything – his dead friends, the conflict with Loki, his home being destroyed. But those writers do sound … troubling. I see the criticism for Civil War, but I would argue that some of the personal soap opera conflicts weren’t done that well. They were never truly angry at each other, so the stakes never felt real.

Right, and of course TW was explaining the change in Thor’s speech patterns by citing the time he’s spent with Tony Stark. Which somehow occurred in the 2 years after AOU when Thor was not on Earth, but out in the universe searching for Infinity Stones.

The whole thing in Civil War was just kind of bizarre… and the writers have said things suggesting that they think Cap’s moral certainty is a virtue and Tony’s self-doubt is somehow a bad thing. Which I think is completely absurd, because it seemed to me that Tony came off as the reasonable one and Cap as an arrogant, self-righteous asshole.

(To the people tempted to bring up General Ross and the HYDRA infiltration of SHIELD again: I kind of doubt that HYDRA is going to infiltrate the governments of all the member countries of the UN. And recall that it was Wakanda leading the call for international supervision of the Avengers. Wakanda. Uncolonized, technologically advanced, hidden African nation Wakanda.)

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
