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.

They're all "faulty" except for CA , which is why I find him very meh. I don't think he's particularly attractive either.

Tony Stark is a dickhead but I like that, not as a relationship but as a mate or fuck buddy it would work. Grin

@LemonInPlay

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 Wink

You’ve really considered this. Grin

I cant stand Captain America. So "holier than thou".
I love iron man though, power made him a better person, at first he was just doing whatever he wanted and watching the money roll in then he saw that his actions had consequences and tried to be better.

wellthatsunusual · 23/01/2021 09:42

I could never warm to a character called Captain America anyway, the name is very off-putting!

CakeRequired · 23/01/2021 09:42

@GrolliffetheDragon

It's Captain America who annoys me...
Agreed. To me, op is describing captain America in their first post. Grin

He always thinks he knows best, he knew about Tony's parents and didn't tell him, he's just too goody goody and yet not. I find him irritating.

I hate captain marvel more though. All of this is her fault. I won't forgive her. Grin

Iron man is the best, followed closely by thor. And then loki. Grin

SarahBellam · 23/01/2021 09:47

No way. Iron Man is amazing. Agree that Captain America is the most annoying - it’s like he has a poker up his ass - no sense of humour at all. I watch Thor on a loop when I’m on my exercise bike. Half an hour passes much more quickly.

Brightermornings · 23/01/2021 09:50

Even fat Thor would get it Smile

StColumbofNavron · 23/01/2021 09:56

I have not forgiven CA for Civil War and that moment where he ends the fight with Iron Man.

I totally agree with all the CA criticism. I can’t even talk about it.

——
Since it has been raised though, in this order

Iron Man/Tony Stark
Mark Ruffalo (always as anybody, even when he is green)
Vision
Black Panther
Thor
Loki
Hella
Black Widow

Clint though, no thanks.

BabyYodaYada · 23/01/2021 09:59

YANBU, I remember being so bloody annoyed with him watching Civil War and Infinity War. I wasn't arsed when he died TBH. I didn't actually really like any of them in the last two films. They all annoyed me, bickering and complaining all the time. Apart from Thor in Inifity War. Felt really sorry for him.

The only "death" that got to me was when Spiderman vanished. DH and I just sat there in the cinema going "they killed spiderman!" We didn't let our kids watch it until endgame and we knew he was OK for fear of traumatising them for life.

StColumbofNavron · 23/01/2021 10:05

When Iron Man got off the plane and said ‘I lost the kid’ I was gone. It was downhill for me from there. I cried at all of it.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 23/01/2021 10:38

Drax is by far the sexiest in the Marvel Universe, followed by Aquaman, Falcon, Thor and whoever Daniel Kaluuya played in Black Panther.

BlowDryRat · 23/01/2021 10:42

Iron Man is very attractive but he would probably make me feel inadequate. Let's pretend for a moment that I look like Gwyneth Paltrow and have a script writer controlling what I say... None of the Guardians of the Galaxy crew. Not baby Spiderman. None of the villains, including Loki. All the rest of them: yes❤️‍🔥

GreenlandTheMovie · 23/01/2021 10:44

Tony Stark is one of those charqctors/actors who always seemed a bit out of place to me. He seemed a bit wimpy and uncharismatic, and was always a bit angry. The actor didn't play him with depth, and I'm puzzled as to why he got the role.

I got the same feeling when watching a mini series on Netflix recently. It was about an elite University student society, all the characters were very affluent/well educated and the lead make actor and father of two beautiful, long, lean characters was a thickset thuggish looking bloke of about 5 feet 6 with a really strong Rotterdam accent (it was a Dutch mini series).

summersolstice43 · 23/01/2021 10:49

I never liked Tony Stark, far too smug and arrogant. My heart belongs to Loki, or any Tom hiddleston character for that matter.

loveislouderthanwar · 23/01/2021 10:58

I love Loki 😻😻 my daughter adores Cap-she's been smitten with CE for years.

Tony Stark, I don't really have opinion on. My fave is Hulk tbh.

Aquaman is fine but he's not marvel he's DC 😳
giantwaterbottle · 23/01/2021 11:03

Shock YABU! Although Bruce Banner is my ideal. Could be because I find Mark Ruffalo so attractive Blush

I agree with this Mark is so handsome.
BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 23/01/2021 11:08

Thanks loveislouderthanwar, I have a total mental block about which universe is which. It drives my DH a bit nuts. Grin I could swear that Aquaman was in the film that had fat Thor, but that may have been my subconscious convincing me that a happy dream was reality.

Sceptre86 · 23/01/2021 11:09

Captain is too straight laced whilst iron man is too full of himself. They both think they know better which is so annoying. Thor is very handsome but dim. I'm all for the hulk!

StColumbofNavron · 23/01/2021 11:15

I’d like it noted and taken as as a given that Jason Momoa as Aquaman, himself or any other character is a YES.. all day, every day.

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 23/01/2021 11:15

Just leaving this here...

am I the only one who never liked Tony Stark?

*I have not forgiven CA for Civil War and that moment where he ends the fight with Iron Man.'

It gets me every time.

It's War Machine I can't stand though. I think Don Cheadle is miscast and preferred the original actor.

I wept like a baby, embarrassing DH and teenage sons at the cinema.
Darklylookingdeeply · 23/01/2021 11:28

Yes. Worst marvel super hero ever. I can't being myself to care about him at all. He is almost as annoying as DC's Batman. Spiderman rules!
