"It appears to run on some kind of electricity!"

Sorry, but canon says he's not necessarily the quickest on the uptake with this stuff; and since the entire joke of Steve in the Avengers is "early man struggles to connect with modern life", the comparison with people's grandmothers upthread is bang on.

[(Anonymous)]

...you couldn't tell that was a joke? FYI, but I'm pretty sure really technologically advanced people would have problems with that switch board, unless they were electrical engineers or something. :/

[otakugal15]

He was being sarcastic because Tony was using huge words to explain something that he(Tony) KNEW he could have explained in Layman terms.

[(Anonymous)]

... Pretty sure that was Steve being (rather awesomely) sarcastic at Tony.

Because, to be fair, if Tony'd been asking me "How's things look over there?", I'd have been going "... There are a lot of sparkly lights, and some of them have gone dark?" I mean, I'm from the modern era, that doesn't mean I can rewire super-futuristic helicarrier engines on the fly, or be presented with a board full of sparkly lights and know what the fuck to do with it in two seconds flat while the ship I'm on is crashing. This is a situation that calls for sarcasm, and Steve delivered.

[fae_boleyn]

He was being a smartass - remember how earlier on he's got a touchscreen tablet in hand at least once? Not to mention, I'm fairly sure that panel would look incomprehensible to plenty of people who are modern-born but simply don't have, say, any electrical engineering know-how.

[insanenoodlyguy]

... what movie did you watch?

[dazzledfirestar]

This is a question Avengers fans ask of each other on a very regular basis.

[tabaqui]

Yeah, no. Advanced helicarrier circuitry is not something any random person from the forties would instantly 'get'.

[(Anonymous)]

It's not something any random person from now would get. I'm not sure any random SHIELD agent would get it.

[tabaqui]

I sure as hell wouldn't get it.

And i love that while people always want to make Tony out to be an asshole, when Steve says that, he doesn't say something mean or make fun of him, he says 'you're not wrong'.

And then, off camera, explains it to him in such a way that Steve gets it and can give him the info he needs.

[(Anonymous)]

I love that line - Tony clearly got the ridiculousness of the situation and didn't hold it against Steve.

[nyxelestia]

This is something I never understand about fandom. Whenever it's not woobifying Tony, it makes him out as having spent the duration of the movie's events as being a complete asshole to Steve. With probably the exception of that eyerolling in the meeting room and everything in the lab (around the scepter), I honestly saw Tony as being either neutral or just his smartass-brand of sorta-nice towards Steve for most of the movie. o.O

[tabaqui]

I know! The whole 'Tony is a jerk, everyone hates him and he has no friends' thing is just....wha? He might babble and not suffer fools, but he sure never tore into Steve the way he *could* have, or anybody else. He might use babble as a defense and/or just be thinking too fast too censor everything but.... He offered to *fly Coulson out to Portland* so he could see his cellist.

Oh and! Yes, he makes a crack at Steve about 'pilates', but when it's obvious Steve doesn't know what that is, he explains (it's like calisthenics) in a way he'll get.

*cough*

Yes, pet peeve of mine.

[(Anonymous)]

... He was joking, fucknut.

I mean, what the fuck else was he supposed to say? He's not a engineer! Even if he can/could use modern tech he wouldn't know what the fuck was going on in there.
