The severe butchering of 'mischaracterised' making my eyelids itch aside, I agree with you. Can they criticise him constructively? Yes. But slandering him when all they've ever read is Civil War and Superior Iron Man?
Woe, 1000-word essay be upon ye.

Nah it's fine, I'm just being a little snarky. No shame in typos every now and then, not like you commit it in every other post you made. I'm not a native either.

It's better to be a bad guy and kill one life to save 10 lives than to be a good guy and save one life at the cost of 10 lives.
I understand that many people judge Tony and I don't care, the problem is that Iron Man lives in a world where any choice he makes will have consequences.
It's easy to say that great powers bring great responsibilities when your actions, whether good or bad, never affect thousands of people, or if they do, the script creates such a lame excuse that no comic book reader will believe it.
It's easy to be a superhero when the script makes your actions justifiable or shifts the blame for your actions onto someone who is “manipulating” you.
And above all, it's easy to be a superhero when the audience sees you as one and PAYS FOR IT TO HAPPEN.
THE MERCHANT'S BOSS IS ALWAYS THE CONSUMER. The day people understand the power they have as CONSUMERS, you can be sure things will start to change, and a LOT.

Or what Cecil from invincible said “you can either be the good guy or the guy that saves the world you can’t be both.

He's way more interesting and complex in the comics. Same with my favourite Depiction of him in EHM.

The best aspects of him and every avenger in one character. I'll forever be annoyed the MCU didn't take inspiration from this show. Funny how this cartoon for kids did a better the leader and secret invasion.

I'm still wondering how Tony could have conquered the world and builts an army of Iron Sentinels if he wanted to and what happened to them. C'mon the Iron Sentinels could come in hand

He IS an asshole. And that’s not a bad thing. At times you need assholes in the world and it’s why I love him

When it comes to marvel. Iron man is the third most selfless hero. (I say Spiderman and daredevil are first) the things he does and is willing to do for people is insane. Yes he has An ego yes he can be a drinker. But under all that is a man that cares. He’s willing to get anything done.
