Anti Irondad - Tumblr Posts

Civil War AU where someone actually tells the 14 year old what's going on, like real details about the situation not just "them guys wrong, we right", and Peter defects like he does in the comics

Peter curing Norman instead of killing him, even when the Goblin just stabbed Peter 2 in front of him, because he knew Norman was not mentally cognizant of his actions and would've never otherwise hurt May paints a whole different light on Tony going after Bucky and Peter's loyalty to him.

I think it'd be interesting to see that debate/see how that influences Peter's rose-tinted glasses, posthumously too.

Neither Norman nor Bucky had a choice in what they did, they only differ in that Norman tested on himself and Bucky was experimented on, so Bucky had even less autonomy than Norman (yet he was made to atone...wtf). Just...gah Marvel really missed an opportunity there. This isn't about who's right or who's wrong btw, just addressing how much May's death and Norman and the Green Goblin would inform Peter's perspective on Tony (given he has now gone through exactly the same thing as Tony did, only he witnessed it happen, and made a different call.)

Peter had the chance to continue and didn't, I think that's an incredibly powerful sign that he isn't Tony's protégé anymore.

Honestly, the only vaguely Irondad thing I like in any media is the 2017 animated version of Spiderman. Tony actually seems to care, and doesn't bring a literal child into a battle with a bunch of superhumans, and the first time they meet, at the stark expo, Spiderman was already there of his own volition.

Yessssss

hit that mf reblog if you love peter parker’s true parental figure: aunt may

“If you’re nothing without the suit, you shouldn’t have it.”

Broke: “This line is abusive and is Tony calling Peter nothing without his tech and is berating Peter’s work.”

Woke: “Tony sees Peter’s unhealthy reliance on the suit itself and on the next grand mission rather than focusing on the original goal of Spider Man. To help even the little people. So he takes the suit away out of fear that he corrupted Peter’s image of Spider Man and himself so that Peter can learn to be Spider Man in his everyday actions and have confidence in himself.”

am i the only one who feels uncomfortable w ppl automatically assuming every adult male in peter’s life is seen as a father figure? he had uncle ben - he doesn’t need someone else to replace him, and the assumption that he needs to have one is so heteronormative lmfao.
