I enjoy watching the Marvel movies but have found Iron Man
annoying since Ultron Its not RDJS fault at all Its the character.
He is just too smug and snarky.
I felt like he was the real villain in civil war.
he just always thinks he knows best for everyone(I cant stand people like this in real life) and though I enjoyed his story I am glad the character is gone
I thought about posting this in the movies thread but I thought this would be best place to ask.

It's Captain America who annoys me...

lovecraftcounty · 22/01/2021 22:18

PS- I want to stress to avoid controversy that I have nothing against the actor and don't think anyone else could have done better. my issue is with the character.
I loved Downey in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

Yabu. RIP iron man

I find it hard to be objective. I wanted to do naughty things with him.

Cap is my favourite! Aside from him being gorgeous, he was brave even when he was a wee skinny, throwing himself on that grenade :)

I cant stand War Machine though!

Too soon, Op. Too soon.

EugenesAxe · 22/01/2021 22:24

No, I completely agree with you. Up himself and wanky.

I may just have bad taste in men but Iron Man and Thor are my two favorites. The arrogance may be part of the attraction.

Never been a fan I suppose, even when I was a child and read the comics. Never liked Cyclops or Jean Grey either (though at least Dark Phoenix made her a bit more interesting).

Me too. Love them both.

Although I love Loki most of all Grin

purpledagger · 22/01/2021 22:28

I love that Thor is a bit dim.

Captain America has that same 'perfect but boring' air about him that Superman does.

Crocky · 22/01/2021 22:28

Captain America is the one that annoys me too but I've never quite figured out why. A little too perfect maybe.

Chocsandcrisps · 22/01/2021 22:28

Ooh noo, It was definitely Captain America that is annoying. CA was too much of a goody two shoes and he should never have been the one that rebelled in Civil War.

❤ Iron Man

That's exact it.

@lovecraftcounty I cannot stand him. Although i'm in the minority in this house

SanFranBear · 22/01/2021 22:30

YANB even slightly U!

Before I watched End Game I was told to have tissues to hand as the ending was a killer... amazing film and a great ending but tears? Nope...

My heart belongs to Thor... the scene in Dark World where he's all silhouetted against the red sky of Asgard - oh my Life!! Shallow, yes, but my goodness Shock

Yes!!! Uuurgh so fucking smug
FeckTheMagicDragon · 22/01/2021 22:31

wellthatsunusual - oh Loki! I definitely would!

burnoutbabe · 22/01/2021 22:32

I've not liked Rdj since he dumped ally mcbeale, I hold grudges.

50shadesoflunacy · 22/01/2021 22:32

CA is a bit too "pedestrian" for me

Ironmanrocks · 22/01/2021 22:32

Errrr never liked Tony stark????? You are not really supposed to to start with, he is arrogant and selfish but comes round to being super hot... 😂 in my opinion!!!!❤️ he's a bit arrogant again in the marvel movies, so I ignore those and reply him in iron man 1 and 3...... phwarrrrr!!!!😂😍

Theunamedcat · 22/01/2021 22:33

Ironmanrocks · 22/01/2021 22:33
