The day people learn that MCU Howard Stark is not the Howard from the comics and that he is actually a good person I swear I’ll throw a fucking party.
I mean did people fucking watch Captain America, Agent Carter and Iron Man 2? Cause it seems they fucking didn’t.
What is good about a father who never tells his son he loves him or even likes him? It screams emotional abuse–and that’s ignoring even all the scenes of Tony venting about how much Howard would talk about Captain America to Tony’s face. (It’s implied Howard would compare Tony to Cap and never favorably.)
Howard’s drunken message to Tony on the Stark Expo gag reel doesn’t mean squat because he never said anything to Tony’s face. Even then, on that video, he called Tony his “creation,” which relegates Tony to more of an object in Howard’s eyes than a living, breathing human being. Tony’s existence was all about Howard’s own ego.
In the MCU tie-in comic Iron Man 2: Public Identity (which is considered MCU canon), Howard was physically and verbally abusive to Tony. Tony’s relationship with Howard was so terrible, he was a kid begging to go back to school during his summer break–just to get away from him.
So, no. Howard Stark was not a good person. At all. He was an abusive sack of shit who whittled away at Tony’s spirit since birth. So much of Tony’s behavior today stems from this abject emotional neglect.
The real nail in the coffin with Howard stark is how Tony talked about him in homecoming. He wants to “break the cycle of shame” by doing the one thing his father never gave him; positive reinforcement. Jesus Christ Howard stark can die again
We have literal evidence that he was never there for Tony, that he physically and emotionally abused him and we’re gonna call him a good man?
Yes it has not been as graphic as the comics (because it’s DISNEY) but you cannot seriously think the dude is a good man.
Yes he might have been nice to Steve and Peggy in the 40s. Time passes. People change. Not because he was nice to Steve means he wasn’t a piece of shit father that directly caused his son’s alcoholism, his lack of self esteem, and his dislike of showing his true self to others.
Howard Stark can choke and die on a cactus.
Op deleted bc they couldn’t handle the truth
Come back and face the facts op
The only reason they should bring Hoeward back is to kill him again.
Like, I could come up with a bunch of examples of Thor being hella smart, but let’s go with the most obvious one in this movie.
Thor specifically told the Guardians NOT to go to Knowhere. He told them they wouldn’t be able to stop Thanos from getting the Reality Stone anyway, and knew 100% that he needed to be more powerful to face him.
Not only was he right in the sense that, with Stormbreaker, he came super close to defeating Thanos with all 6 Stones, but also, if the Guardians had all gone with him to Nidavellir instead, Thanos wouldn’t have captured Gamora, he wouldn’t have found the Soul Stone, and he would’ve had to face the Avengers AND the Guardians on earth with one less Stone.
Moral of the story: Thor is INCREDIBLY smart and 100% knows what he’s doing, and people need to start paying attention to him more.
Sometimes I’m just sitting here minding my own business and then I remember that Thor specifically entrusted Loki with placing Surtur’s crown on the fire to initiate Ragnarok and I tear up a little bit because that’s how you love and support your chaotic neutral sibling.
Thor: I know what’ll cheer you up. 🙂 Loki: What’s that? Thor: You wanna trigger the apocalypse with me for the good of Asgard? Loki: !!!!!!!!
my favorite part is that nobody questioned Loki surviving that experience. Thor sent him in there with the comfortable confidence of Loki’s cockroach-like ability to cause the apocalypse and sneak out before it got bad, Loki didn’t try to pretend that this was dangerous, absolutely nobody ever commented…
Okay so I love things with Peter and Shuri confusing the others with memes but consider this…
Steve Rodgers has been studying pop culture to try to “get with the times”. He probably doesn’t know how much the average adult knows, so this man has seen ALL of the memes, just because he thought that they were common knowledge.
Peter and Shuri: THIS BITCH EMPTY
Steve, without looking up from his phone: yeet
Peter and Shuri: I’d do anything fow you Captain Amewica-
Steve, without even a hint of malice in his voice: Then perish.
C A N O N
peter and shuri: mr. white wolf i would die for you
The real reason it’s a fucking travesty Peter Parker is “straight” is that he would have a fucking field day making gay jokes. Imagine Spiderman wit mixed with millennial gay humour. He’d be unstoppable
[Criminal, or Steve. Or someone] give it to me straight. Why is some kid swinging around and beating up people in Queens?
[Peter] Firstofall, nothingI dois straight.
[Villain punches him]
[Peter] this is homophobia.
[Someone. Probably Tony] he said nothing about gay people, though?
[Peter] but he hit me. So again. Homophobia.
[Tony] you could not have picked a worse time to come out of the closet.
[Peter] bold of you to assume I was ever in the closet to begin with. I’ve been giving off Chaotic Twink Energy my whole damn life.
Aunt may: so why can’t you get your driver’s license again??
Peter: I’m???? Gay????
This is why we only allow grown-ups to write movie scripts
What if I told you…this whole post was just friends joking around…and not an actual submission for a Spiderman script…you fucking walnut
You heard the Walnuts, guys. We aren’t allowed to have fun anymore.
