Tony Stark hasn't even provided himself with the finest mental health care money can buy; what makes you think he's in any sort of position to offer it to anyone else?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, because how Tony takes care of himself is an indication of his resources.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, because money is the only relevant kind of "resource," and struggling with his own post-Avengers trauma may not have put him in the best frame of mind to go chasing down friends-of-friends-of-friends to see if they needed something that is a difficult and touchy subject (due to the societal stigma surrounding mental health) at the best of times.

[(Anonymous)]

OP didn't say Tony himself should go counsel this guy, they just pointed out that the Avengers are never shown using their resources to help people with the aftermath.

[(Anonymous)]

Very little of the aftermath is shown, full-stop. That's no indication.

Besides, I wasn't suggesting that Tony go counsel the guy himself; I'm not sure where you got that.

[(Anonymous)]

Probably the part where you talked about him personally chasing down a friend of a friend to ask after his needs. And in the very little of the aftermath shown there is no sign of them helping out. True, it doesn't mean it didn't happen, but it also doesn't mean it did. Superheroes in general have a history of showing up for the fight and then leaving other people to pick up the pieces.

How exactly was he supposed to get Selvig mental health treatment without asking him if he wanted or needed it?

Do you want to talk about "superheroes in general," or the Avengers in particular? These are different.

[(Anonymous)]

I think the OP's post was a general "the Avengers don't help with collateral damage" using Selvig as a specific example of how they failed and Tony/SHIELD as proof that yes, they do have the resources to do this. Not saying that Tony personally should set people up with therapy or be out on construction sites rebuilding New York. The Avengers and SHIELD have the ability to provide for these people and are not shown doing so. Bringing up "superheroes in general" is to show that there is a trend of superheroes doing this, so in the absence of on screen evidence that the Avengers are helping out, the likelihood is that they are not.

This.
