am I the only one who never liked Tony Stark?

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.

I liked Spider-Man when I was a kid. I do love a bit of Iron Man though, but no he's not the nicest guy, other than the whole sacrificing himself to save the world thing.

@SanFranBear
I agree not sure who would cry at the ending
love how fast this has derailed into admiring the mcu men tho I must admit i love thors ragnarok hair

@hedgehogger1 true but feels like they have all tried to sacrifice themselves at least once

I’m with you OP. He reminds me of Elon Musk.

It's all about Loki

Okay so I may have had 2 whole glasses of ...which is 2 more than normal!

But there's very few of the men not Spiderman he's a child who I would say no get out of my bed...isn't that the idea though!

He's meant to be a smug, conceited, misogynistic asshat. So they can show his self improvement as he goes through the series and learns to be less selfish, value women as actual people, be motivated by the wish to help others not just make money etc.
I'm just not sure RDJ pulled it off... because really he was just playing himself, wasn't he?

That fight scene with Thor Ragnork with Led Zeppelin Immigrant song was excellent

Thor all the way. I binge watched the first few Thor movies on a long haul flight (back in olden times when we had those) and oh my God the hotness. Seriously... Just... I can't even.... just fetch me my smelling salts.

Completely agree.
Tony Stark is the superhero equivalent of Elon Musk....smug, grating, and a bit of a gut.

Fancied RDJ more when he was off his tits in Natural Born Killers tbh.

CA is only hot when he has a beard!

@Thatwentbadly

Great minds!

YABU Tony is the best!

Thor is obviously the hottest, but I don't like that his arms are bigger than my thighs...
[shudder] too built.

StarLord is just right...

Captain America is just a goody two shoes.

My favourite is Antman.

I'd fuck Thor on a Friday night but I'd want Loki to have all the Sunday morning sex, coffee and a lazy chat over the papers with.

IYSWIM

I do think that much of Thor's appeal is that they give him all the best lines!
(Give me one of these big enough to ride!)

He’s meant to be smug and arrogant, that’s what makes his sacrifice at the end such a big deal. He had a daughter and he still chose to die.

But in Civil War you can’t blame him, Bucky killed his parents and Cap kept that from him. Not cool.

@LemonInPlay 👏🏻 Hear hear. Excellent call.

I think Robert Downey Jr is a great actor but I much prefer him as Larry in Ally Mcbeal than as Tony Stark.

Clearly we need a official thread for rating the mcu men but back to my original point I hated the way he treated spiderman in homecoming like his property but not with enough attention
Also flirting with aunt may yuck(even if he was on a break)

@DurhamDurham I agree hes good
Wonder what he will do now hes out of the mcu
Something better than Doolittle I hope

I'd even go so far as including the women in this statement

@lovecraftcounty
I don't think you can have a MCU thread without the lust I'm afraid!

I'm sure there's like a law or something.
