I have nothing to say about his "death" but as far as what he did, I thought he reacted the way most people would. We've seen plenty of other characters get emotional and not face the same backlash (looking at you, Tony)

Good point. Tony's forever doing emotional poor impulse control stuff. It's one of the reasons why I don't really care for his character and I'd be okay with Iron Man not being such a big part of future MCU films.

I like Tony, but I completely understand this feeling.

I'd like him more if he got more realistic pushback for his actions and learned from his mistakes. I think it's a disservice to his character (and I did like Tony initially!) not to have that developmental arc.

Honestly I felt like everyone in Infinity Wars was reacting emotionally except Strange, Vision, and Wanda. Well, Steve too, but he never had the chance to react emotionally. But everyone who lost things personally, pretty much, reacted emotionally. I felt like the filmmakers think that everyone who loses someone in that sort of situation would react like that, that no one could possibly control themselves and think clearly and understand what was at stake. I would expect more characters to act like Wanda and be able to make the right decisions even when they have endured horrible things. Thor, certainly, has dealt with a ton of stuff already and still been able to do what had to be done. He's the one who had his own planet destroyed. So it felt a little out of character.

And the other thing was Gamora. I know we had to have Thanos get all the stones. But I feel like Gamora knew what was at stake and wanted to stop Thanos above all else. I don't think she would have told him where the stone was, even to save Nebula. Heck, I don't think she would have done it to save Starlord either.

Don't get me wrong, I still loved the movie.

I agree and I think people who are angry about it, especially if it's to the point of harassing Pratt like WTF, probably have stupid opinions about a lot of characters.

...Are you actually in fandom? Tony gets a hell of a lot of hate for what happened in Civil War.

(Anonymous) 2018-07-28 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
Are you? Tony gets worshipped to hell and back in this fandom. Half the Marvel tag posts on tumblr are about poor woobie Tony and how perfect he is and how he's the backbone of everything ever. Hell, IronStrange is a ship built on the foundation of Strange beating or roasting the shit out of Steve for being mean to poor Tony in CW.

(Anonymous) 2018-07-28 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
And the other half are about poor woobie Steve and Bucky and how perfect they are and how Tony is basically as bad as Hydra for snapping in CW.

I'm sorry most of fandom thinks your fave made a dumbass decision, but stop pretending he's the only character ever to be criticized for dumbass decisions, because that's just straight up bullshit.

Imagine trying to act like you're persecuted when you're a fucking Tony stan, the most popular character ever. You guys really do live in another universe.

(Anonymous) 2018-07-28 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sadly I see more of that side of fandom. The Tony Stark love is spooky -- but it's very US-American, for sure. He was explicitly created as arms-dealer trust-fund baby capitalist to the crowds, and look at how that played out. You can see what kinds of people like Tony Stark: http://blog.heartland.org/2014/08/iron-man-the-ultimate-capitalist-fantasy/

(I actually like Tony as a flawed, dark character; I hate him as a glorified woobie. His his stans are scary for real-world reasons, see above.)
