Couldn’t have said it better myself

Recently, I have fallen out of love with the Stony or Steve Rogers/Tony Stark pairing.

The MCU introduced me to this pairing; it is a very fun and complicated pairing which I held dear. However, in light of recent events, MCU has also disillusioned me. No, rather, it pulled the veiled right off my eyes. It has always been at the back of my mind, but I ignored it. It kept nagging but I didn’t listen. I am ashamed to admit that it took watching my favourite character lied to and get beaten up as he was drowning in a pit of rage and grief by the same character I always thought—I always imagined would protect him, would choose him, would hold him more important above others.

The truth is: none of the original founding members of the MCU Avengers treated Tony Stark right.

The truth is, next to James Fucking Buchaman Barnes, Tony is the LAST choice. He is fucking COLLATERAL DAMAGE.

He is at the very bottom of the priority list of everyone else in that fucking team.

He is their doormat.

He is their scapegoat.

He is their source of everything but they don’t appreciate him.

This man cares so much, gives so much, yet no one can seem to see that and show him the same fucking courtesy.

I guess that’s the reason why I love Peter Parker so much. He looks at Tony like Tony hung the Moon, the Sun and the Stars in a purely platonic-son-to-potential-father-figure way. NO, I do not ship Starker nor will I ever. You cannot convince me. And the fact that pairing always seems to show up on my PINTREST dashboard is fucking frightening and annoying—mostly annoying. Peter looks at Tony’s beat and battered defensive asshole self and sees the best of him. He doesn’t take advantage of Tony’s love and kindness. He doesn’t expect, demand or take.

I ship Tony with Stephen Strange, not just because Stephen gave up the Time Stone to save his life, though I won’t lie, that’s one of them. They have similar backgrounds. They’ve been through similar experiences. I really believe they’d be able to understand each other. Stephen’s a narcissist like Tony, but he isn’t like the rest of the Avengers with their holier-than-thou crap. The view must be pretty nice all the way up their white horses, huh. Stephen is a narcissist but he knows he is flawed. He has been on top and knocked down to the bottom but he stood up again. Just like Tony. For all of their narcissism, their asshole-ness, their sass and snark, these two would be so good for each other. Tony can be his defensive- asshole-but-secretly-goes-beyond-what-is-sane-to-protect-his-loved-ones-self and Stephen would understand, hell Stephen would treat him the same. Stephen would give back as much as he is given. Stephen would call out all of Tony’s bullshit without the Avenger’s brand of superiority.

On an intellectual level, I understand the reason why Stephen gave up the Stone. But the fact that he DID, that he bet on Tony, that he put his fate in Tony, a person he has officially met for a couple of hours just overwhelms me; that much fate, with the entire universe hanging in the balance. He was able to trust Tony with those lives, the Avengers wouldn’t even trust Tony with their lives/freedom.

The Avengers are quick to turn on Tony when it best suits them.

Like in a fic I’ve read:

‘Natasha would sell me out for a pack of cigarettes and she doesn’t even smoke,’ – Tony Stark

That shit is one of the most accurate fanfic lines I have ever read.

The Avengers are quick to place the blame on him.

The Avengers are quick to use violence on him.

They choose to trust a Hydra agent with clear vendetta against Tony over him when she has showed disregard over lives, even theirs, if it suits her motives right. The fact that so much sympathy is given to this vindictive psychopath is beyond me.

They’ve blamed Tony over every mistake. They keep holding Tony’s mistake over him, yet they never acknowledge their own shit.

They claim Tony is arrogant, yet “The Best Hands Are Our Own” is not? Bitch that is some Hitler level Bullshit right there and people don’t seem to see it. I guess Steve didn’t just punch Hitler; he shared tea, cookies and similar ideals with him.

The Best Hands Are Never Our Own. NO ONE CAN CLAIM TO KNOW BEST. NO ONE. Simply because we are human. We are fallible. We have our own agenda. We have people/ideals we hold above others. Right, Rogers? “Till the end of the line”, right?

Even Thanos, a fucking Titan is a sane!nutcase.

Steve Rogers, no matter how much hype, how much people put him in a pedestal can’t claim to have the “Best Hands”. He has his own priorities; he has shown his own arrogance. He has shown that he would put his Bucky above others and if you have watched CA:CW and not see it, then go watch it again.

Steve Rogers knew the truth about the Starks’ death but he kept it from Tony. Not because he cared about Tony’s well being, but because he was scared Tony would go after his Bucky. That’s it. There is no other reason. Because he wanted to keep his Bucky safe. And he had the gall to talk about keeping secret to Tony when he was seating on the biggest one of all.

That Rogers, is obstruction of Justice, one of the ideals you ‘uphold’ so much, done by you in order to protect one man.

Wanda assisted and joined Ultron, and only switched sides when it became clear that everyone else, including theirs, and not only the Avengers were getting their asses killed. She sent the Hulk loose in a populated area. You might have been too blinded by the scene of Tony fighting the Hulk to see that but, that’s the truth. SHE SET THE HULK LOOSE ON A POPULATED AREA, WITHOUT REGARDS TO INNOCENT LIVES. You think Ultron got his psychopathic tendency from Tony? Who was it that was hell bent on murdering Tony and by extension the Avengers? Ultron was the collective of Tony, Bruce, the sceptre and Wanda. And we all know who is all MURDER!!!!! Between those four.

Every last ones of these characters are arrogant in their own way, have mistakes, have ‘blood on their ledgers’, and are pretty much flawed/fallible.

Then why is Tony Stark the only one hated? Why is he the only one made to suffer? To pay for his mistakes?

Well, Tony Haters, Steve Stans, Wanda Stans, Team Cap Stans…

Fuck you.

I’m not trying to into an argument, but I just wanna say that the UN doesn’t follow the U.S. Constitution, and neither does the whole world. So I don’t know why they would care if the accords violated the constitution or not? I could be wrong since I don’t have extensive knowledge on how the UN works

Let’s talk Civil War.

(Ik. It’s been years. I’m sorry. I’m stuck in the past.)

Other than the fact that Tony’s side of the Accords is the non-contested accepted correct side in the entire fucking world except the USA (seriously, the entire world is telling you you’re wrong and you still insist otherwise? Maybe y’all’s really do belong on Team Cap), let’s dissect every Team Cap fan’s POV and rebut them.

1. The government should not impose on powered people’s freedoms.

Aside from the fact that this shows a fairly concerning blatant ignorance of the United Nations and all forms of international government, I can name on one hand the number of countries where “freedom” is portrayed as it is in the USA. Do you know what the stance on freedom is in the rest of the world? Your personal freedom ends at the safety of the community. (This is especially interesting during COVID and the vaccine and masking) Your life is your own, do whatever shit you want to do. No one gives a fuck if you want to eat ham or turkey for dinner. But when your “personal freedom” starts putting other’s lives at risk, it’s a fucking problem. It’s not “personal freedom” when you’re marching into a school wearing bombs. It’s not “personal freedom” when you start carrying a machine gun and threatening anyone you think is wrong. That is effectively what most of the Avengers are. They’re walking around with weapons and threatening anyone that doesn’t agree with them. And if you can’t see why that’s problematic, I don’t trust you.

2. The Government should not monitor individuals.

All governments monitor individuals and if you think otherwise, then I’m sorry but what fantasy world are you living in? Governments monitoring individuals is, usually, what leads to them catching terrorists before they blow up your local gas station or school. Governments monitoring individuals is an everyday occurrence in the entire fucking world and for due reason when people start threatening to murder world leaders or hate crime minorities. The Avengers getting monitored by the government is no different than any other civilian but for the crucial factor that the Avengers can and have acted on their threats based on personal disagreements.

3. The Government is corrupt.

This again just shows a blatant ignorance of international law and the United Nations, and, frankly, entitlement. The Accords were never going to give the United States government complete control over the Avengers when the initial problem was that US citizens were parading around with their weapons without any regard to international concerns. Further, even if any government is corrupt the way Hydra infiltrated the US government, the United Nations consists of 193 countries, 117 of them voted for the Accords, all of them would still have a say in what the Avengers do. Tell me, and use your logic please, how it could possibly be easier to corrupt 193 countries, the entire fucking world, than it is to corrupt 6 weaponized individuals all US citizens?

4. General Ross is known as the bad guy and therefore the Accords are bad because he supports them.

Correlation not causation. The Accords were written by at least 117 countries and amended by all 193 of them. Under international law, every country is allowed their representatives of their choosing, but all representatives must be present for something to actually pass. Meaning, yes, the US representative was a corrupt piece of shit, but there’s at least 192 other representatives (some countries choose to have multiple), thus, again, we go back to the argument of, is it easier to corrupt one individual or a whole board?

5. The Avengers would never have been deployed because countries have opposing decisions.

The Avengers were never supposed to be deployed for Earth-level threats anyhow. “So when the world needed them, they could fight the battles we never could” ~ Nick Fury. Key words: when needed, never could. In other words, the Avengers were not supposed to be constantly on missions, only when there was a need for a team of heroes. Further, they were not meant to fight the everyday bad guy, not terrorists or thieves or murderers, the Avengers were made to fight Extinction-level threats. It takes years of training to learn how to correctly, legally, and safely catch the everyday bad guy. None of the Avengers have gone through that training, and them being involved in such missions has canonically resulted in mass casualties. And when it comes to extinction-level threats, darling, not a single human is going to go, “well, I want the planet I’m living in to explode”, therefore, the Avengers will be deployed for those, aka: their correct purpose.

6. Some countries can’t fight their bad guys.

If you cannot see how this is blatant American Imperialism propaganda, I don’t know what to tell you. It’s true, some countries struggle with crime rates, but it is still their right as a country to decide when and how to ask for help rather than have it be imposed on them. Are you also walking around saying “we had to send our military to Afghanistan and blow up their lands, they couldn’t deal with their bad people” or “we had to take over Iraq, Syria, etc”? It’s not the place of the US government to choose how other countries deal with crimes, and it is most certainly not the place of 6 weaponized (white) US citizens to do so either.

7. Some countries are corrupt and choose not to fight their bad guys.

This effectively makes the Avengers political weapons (one of the valid concerns of the Accords), and proves exactly why the Accords are needed. Are the Avengers supposed to assassinate any world leader they deem corrupt? Because that is what it would be, assassinations. How is that not abuse of their powers? How can it be justified in any shape, way, or form? What would make them different than dictators then? “If you don’t agree with me, I’ll assassinate you and replace you with someone who does”.

8. The Superhuman Registration Act is a bad thing in the comics and the Accords are in its place.

True, the Registration Act was a terrible thing, but it comes under very different circumstances in the comics than it does in the MCU, and to ignore the political climate and story of the MCU is downright idiotic. The MCU is an entirely different story and universe than Earth-616. Why are you watching the MCU if you just want the story of the comics? Go read the comics then. This screams either one of two:

A. A lack of cognitive abilities.

B. A child throwing a fit because they didn’t get exactly what they want.

And honestly, neither is a cute look.

Did you also throw a tantrum when they replaced an orientalist racist depiction of a Chinese villain by a white man in Iron Man 3?

9. Captain America is an amazing hero in the comics.

Again, in the comics. Not the MCU. In the comics, Peter Parker’s best friend is Harry Osborn, not Ned Leeds. In the comics, Pepper Potts marries Happy Hogan, not Tony Stark. In the comics, Wanda and Pietro Maximoff are Romani-Jewish, not white. In the comics, Alexei Shostakov is Natasha Romanoff’s husband, not father. Catch my drift? The comics are different, and MCU Steve Rogers is not 616 Steve Rogers. To pretend otherwise is boring.

10. Team Cap is hot.

Honestly, the blond blue eyed look isn’t my cup of tea, but I get it. What I don’t understand is why you have to justify all their actions to love them? I adore Tywin Lannister. I’m not walking around justifying him wiping out entire families and ordering the sexual assault and murder of Elia Martell and her children. You can like someone and admit they’ve done some fucked up shit. It’s not that deep. It’s deep when you try to say they’re in the right for the fucked up shit they did.

11. Bucky.

Honestly, Bucky is his own whole complex post and if I get into it here, this post will last for days, so I won’t. I will admit that Tony was in the wrong for some parts of that, but even yet, Rogers was entirely in the wrong for everything he did “for” Bucky, and this whole dilemma could have been prevented if Rogers had for one singular second thought to go about everything the legal way. (I could make another post if I’m encouraged enough)

12. The Avengers are the good guys.

That’s the Doylist explanation. We as outside viewers know that. The Watsonian explanation is entirely different. World governments in the MCU don’t know for sure the Avengers are the good guys. What they know is that the Avengers have been involved in the complete destruction of government buildings, intelligence buildings, an entire country, and more. Do you know what we call people who blow up governmental and intelligence buildings full of innocent civilians here? Terrorists.

13. The Accords.

This isn’t an argument I’ve seen per se, but more of a general misunderstanding I’ve seen on both sides. It doesn’t surprise me though. Civil War shows one single thin file as being the entire Accords, that Rogers flips through quickly and decides is a mistake. There is absolutely no way that is correct for the United Nations. UN documents can be thousands of pages long, they’re written by legal professionals from at least tens of countries, they cover every possible scenario and they’re open to amendments. They’re worked on so long that it takes years for them to be passed. They’re filled with so much legal jargon that one singular flick will result in you understanding nothing. More likely though, Rogers was given a brief introduction and summary. Thus, him immediately deciding he doesn’t like it without even knowing what it is, gives the same energy as a child throwing a tantrum for being forced to try kiwis for the first time.

It is possible that I’ve forgotten some arguments, I’m only human after all, but if you, (respectfully. I will not be answering anyone who throws slurs or hate speech), have any, I don’t mind dissecting them.

Lastly, to wrap up my post, all I have to say is one question. Is it possible that the whole world, that at least 5-6 billion people, are wrong, and Steve Rogers is correct?

No because the way he welcomed them in infinity war was the betrayal of the highest order

the mcu also lacked rhodey roasting steve for treating tony like shit
