Tony needs Gary.

…and Gary needs Tony.

I am honestly grateful that it’s shown in almost every movie that Tony is loved by people. That even tho Avengers and Shield think that’s he’s not good hero material, people love him. Because Tony is legendary and brilliant and heroic and open, he smiles, he signs drawings, and keeps fanmail from children in his living room at home, and takes selfies, and shakes hands, and makes everyone comfortable around him. He invites them into easy talk and invites them into saving themselves and the world. 

( Sometimes I think about those people Tony saved from plane crash and how he congratulated them on being great team, “Go us!”, not taking any credit for saving them. Sometimes I think about them reacting to anyone saying something nasty about that filthy billionaire playing a hero, because to them he wasn’t just a newsfeed about nuke steered into the wormhole, but someone very real. I wonder about Harley, who knows Tony not as magazine cover but very human and very damaged person (Tony told him about having anxiety BEFORE he had an attack in front of the kid, he volunteered that information!!), still trying to save the world. I think about those MIT students, and about tiny Peter Parker in ironman helmet on Stark Expo… I think about that van full of soldiers that Tony, prior captivity, prior Yinsen, prior ironman, had turned from awkward silence to laughter and fun. It’s just… Avengers think that Tony is that narcissistic egocentric no-teamplayer playboy persona, but people know that Tony Stark is kind, and open, and friendly, and that he’s always, ALWAYS on their team. )

@karmade THANK YOU yes, the people love him, they saw him in NY, he is one of their own, even the crowd in the senate hearing and the media how he sat down with them, the people love tony, he is THEIR hero, not one created or trained by a government or an agency, he’s THEIRS
