Tony Stark's character is probably my favourite in MCU. I could go pages about his character arc and actually even make a person who hasn't seen the movie fall in love with him. But since this is only about Infinity War, I'm not going to talk much about the previous movies.


Like Yeinsen said in the very first Iron Man film, Tony is a "person who has everything but nothing." That's where I knew I was going to fall in love with this character. There was something so real about his character that others never had. Its his flaws that make him so believeable as a character.

Tony Stark, a MIT graduate who is now one of the richest of the world finds himself in a life or death situation when he is abducted and told to create his weapons for terrorists to be able to use them against the US. Tony being the presumptuous man he is, decides to build an armored suit that will help him escape and return back home. Before Tony is put in this life or death situation, he is beyond cocky and uses his heart for all the wrong reasons, but after meeting a man who saves his life he is told to not waste his life. Returning home, Tony realizes his weapons are very harmful and he doesn't want to continue making them but wants to rebuild and improve his armor suit to become Iron Man. I kind of miss the old Tony. The one who wore expensive suits and watches and was proud of who he is. Today Tony dreads being himself. Why can't he be happy?

So jumping to Infinity War.

In the very first scene we see Tony and Pepper having a conversation where Tony talks about his dream where he saw that he and Pepper were actually having a child, a son and they named him Morgan. (A/N: I find that extremely adorable!) It is evident in this scene that Tony wants to live a humbled life and wants to get settled up with Pepper and have a family. (A/N : We know that since Homecoming) Of course he is tired of everything! But one thing that still hasn't left him (which has also become one of his character defining traits) is his anxiety. He seems to be worried. He seems to sense the approaching danger(i.e. Thanos). His instincts tell him that something big and horrible is coming. That is what forced him to create Ultron. Though that attempt didn't end up well, none of us can deny Tony had best intentions.

But after what happened during Ultron, Tony is perhaps scared of creating another SHIELD for the war thinking it might back fire again. But one can't sit idle. What if another alien army charges earth and this time they are stronger? And what if we didn't make a backup plan even though we had the technology and the brains (Tony's brain) to resist it? Whom would we blame then? Of course, we have that one person. ANTHONY EDWARD STARK. All that might have come up in his mind. Moreover Tony has self assigned himself the task of protecting the people of the earth. He thinks it is his and ONLY his responsibility. He must have been that spoilt son of a rich father. But we shouldn't forget that people learn from their experiences. And when he was exposed to one such experience, he changed. He wants to reverse whatever mistakes he has ever done. How many people do that?(A/N : Sometimes I wanna grab him and say "That's enough. You've done enough, MORE THAN ENOUGH. We love you for that!)Coming back to the point, all these forced Tony to end up putting that nano-tech on his chest. He wants to live a normal life, but he can't. He can't when he is Iron Man burdened up with the responsibiliteis of the world.

I wasn't too fond of Pepperony until the last few movies. Pepper had left Tony after Ultron. Honestly, we can't blame her. It has to be terrifying to know that you are always under threat. Who doesn't want a break? But she came back. And she seems to be more understanding. (A/N : Actually she is the only person who understands him.) Like all normal people, she doesn't approve of surgically putting an armour on his chest. But she doesn't react this time like she did previously. She has that look that says "I'm with you till the end of the line."

Tony calls his nanotech armour as the worst case measure. A backup plan, just in case "there is a moster in the closet instead of shirts." (A/N : Just don't forget to appreciate how Tony and Pepper were completing eachother's sentences in this scene. It was adorable and soooooo cute!?)

When Pepper learns that Tony was in that Q ship she exclaims with a "Not again!" and asks him to comeback though she know he wouldn't. It kind of hurts to know that this conversation of Tony and Pepper wasn't complete. What if he doesn't return this time?

Tony quickly plans to bait Thanos by drawing him to Titan so that they don't have to fight him on earth. He knew his worst nightmare was about to come true and he would do anything to resist it. Not matter what it takes! Their plan was working if it wasn't Starlord. (A/N : Again, I don't blame him. I'd write about that when I write about Starlord.)

Its quite shocking to learn that Thanos knows Tony and when Tony asks him how he knows him he replies by saying "You're not the only one cursed with knowledge." I loved that dialogue! He actually goes toe to toe while fighting Thanos and MAKES HIM BLEED. No wonder, like Steve said, Tony is the EARTH'S BEST DEFENDER.

Marvel actually had us on our hips. We all thought that Tony was about to die ones when he dropped a (fucking) planet on him and second when he stabbed him. (A/N : I won't lie. I really felt so sick in that scene. And not to forget that really strange sounding whimper that I gave out. I thought he would die! Thank god everyone was so occupied with the film they didn't care to notice me! Yeah, the whole theater went dead silent in that scene.) But Doctor Strange saved him. That just makes my belief firmer that Tony would play a huge role in Avengers 4. (A/N : We'll talk about that later.) We could see that expression of despair in his face. Tony didn't want Strange to give away the time stone. He would rather die! Strange might have seen something in the future but Tony doesn't know it! Of course he ends up blaming himself for the death of the half of the universe.

Lets talk about that last scene. (THE FUCKING LAST SCENE!? ゚リᆳ?) Tony said that in homecoming that if something happens to Peter, he would blame himself for it. And we see that happen. He watches helplessly as everyone on the planet vanishes. But it was heart breaking to watch Peter vanish and turn into ash while Tony hold him. (A/N : This was a real hug btw!?) "You're alright." he tries to assure but even he know that he wasn't sure about what he was saying. But it was more heart breaking when you remembered the first Tony Stark scene. He wanted a son. He ends up losing the closest he have to one. Peter Parker. But that isn't the worst part, the worst part is that he blames himself for it.


So there's everything that came up in my mind about Tony Stark. Hope you guys like it.
