im3 kinda fucks me up bc the villian’s origin story is essentially “one time i went up to a famous person who was a complete stranger, while he was drunk and having a new years celebration, feeling entitled to his time, and asked him for his money and his support and he told me he’d meet me somewhere and then Didn’t” and the narrative and fandom want me to see that and go “wow yeah tony’s an awful person how could he do that to someone it’s truly his fault,,,his Dark Past as a Vile Uncaring Asshole has Come Back 2 Haunt him,,,” like. dude. that’s not how any of this works
like can you imagine if this was what happened with literally any other character
some really intense person cornered pepper and a friend once in an elevator while she was out drinking and celebrating and felt entitled to her time and asked her for a favour and she, drunkenly, was like “uh haha yeah, um, meet me on the roof in a bit we’ll for sure talk about it” and then she didn’t go
some random person cornered steve and nat while they were drinking at a party Feeling Entitled To Their Time because they’re Avengers and is really Intense and making everyone uncomfortable and steve, drunk and lowkey trying to get this person to not keep following him out of the elevator, was like “um you know what yeah why don’t we talk about this upstairs in like ten minutes” and then didn’t go meet the guy
would the narrative and the entire fandom have been like “wow what a terrible asshole they are for not bending over backwards on new years eve for this Random Person,,,completely their fault that this happened,,if only they hadn’t been so Uncaring and Rude and Dismissive maybe that guy wouldn’t have become a terrorist” because i feel like nah, i feel like this might be banking p hard on the whole “yeah tony stark For Sure used to be the most terrible selfish shallow person in the world” thing,
