Reminder that a grand total of two (2) people managed to draw blood on Thanos, and one was an actual literal god, and the other was —– a super soldier? No. The hulk? No. An alien with higher than average strength? No —- the other was Tony motherfreakin Stark, kids; Tony The Unenhanced Human Stark. Tony Thanos-knows-his-name Stark. Tony threat is imminent Stark. Tony earth is closed today Stark. My sun, my stars, my beloved boy: Tony Stark.

“Dad, he’s judging me!”

ok anyway, in im3, tony yells NO! right as, and maybe a little bit before, he fails to catch pepper’s hand (like as soon as that whole metal structure tilts), and not after. when rhodey’s falling in cap 3, tony yells NO! way before rhodey hits the ground, but not as soon as rhodey’s shot and starts falling

this makes me think of the im1 novelization: when tony uses the faulty flight power of the mark 1 to boost him out of the terrorist camp, he figures out mid-fall what his trajectory was and what would be the force of his impact against the ground or whatever. similarly, when that SI rocket lands right next to him during the ambush, the first thing he does is to consider the distance between him and the thing and he quickly concludes that he won’t be able to get out of the blast range

so now i’m emotional over tony’s seemingly preemptive cries of NO! in light of this thing where he’s constantly doing the math in his head. so for instance, with pepper, he’s ~relatively chill and reassuring and confident that he’s gonna catch her, up until that rig unexpectedly tilts – and that would be the moment when pepper veers off the trajectory tony had projected for her and he knows he won’t be able to adjust in time, so he starts crying out BEFORE we ever get the shot of him missing pepper’s hand. and then with rhodey in cap 3, he realizes rhodey is going down and goes back for him, and then the point at which he actually cries out would have been the point when the numbers clicked in tony’s head and he realized he wouldn’t be able to get to rhodey before rhodey hit the ground

and i’m in pain because if we’re to go with this, then we have tony grasping his failure before it even happens

Okay so a soul stone powered Yinsen Tony reunion is number 2 on my avengers 4 wish list (after Tony surviving of course.) Seeing as this whole era of the mcu has been so much about fathers and Yinsen is the father figure who set this whole thing in motion, it’s only fair! Come on soul stone! Gimme!

Happy 75th Birthday to Peter Cullen

He is the one and only Optimus Prime

He will probably never read this, but I would like send Peter Cullen my best wishes, health and also wonderful moments for the next few years, and align him my thanks that he borrowed Optimus Prime, the mighty Autobot leader, his voice.

Since my childhood I'm a fan of the Transformers series. I have many characters in this fandom that I really like ... but only Optimus Prime owns my heart and has made me the person I am today. Let me explain: Optimus was an inspiration to me. He is strong, brave, wise and he always cares for the wellbeing of others first and stands for those who are to weak to fight for themselves.

Optimus taught me that friends and family are important. You have to honor them and stand up and care for them.

He taught me that I can and should fight for what I belive in.

Optimus never gave up, no matter how many times he fell to his knees, no matter how hopeless the situation appeared ... he NEVER gave up.

Optimus Prime will always be the hero of my childhood.

Peter Cullen is a wonderful person, voice actor, and deserves so much love.

Thank you that you are Optimus Prime.

Happy Birthday.

Avengers 4 Theory: Tony Stark Will Wield the Infinity Gauntlet

“The power required to use all of the stones at once is so significant that it sends Thanos into this dream state. You’ll notice his arm is damaged post the snap, the gauntlet is damaged post the snap, it’s the incredible energy required from it and only because of his strength is he able to survive actually using the gauntlet in that capacity.” - Joe Russo, Director of Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, & Avengers 4

There’s been two quotes – one from screenwriter Christopher Markus and one from director Joe Russo – emphasizing Thanos required energy and suffered damage to his left arm to use the Infinity Gauntlet. What’s odd is these are two things associated with Tony, which makes me think there’s a likelihood we’ve been getting hints all along Tony will use the gauntlet to reverse what Thanos has done. 

… Maybe it’s been in front of us the whole time:

Tony: “[Howard] was cold, he was calculating. He never told me he loved me. He never even told me he liked me, so it’s a little tough for me to digest when you’re telling me he said the whole future was riding on me and he’s passing it down. I don’t get that.”

Howard [to Tony]: “[The New Element] is the key to the future. I’m limited by the technology of my time, but one day you’ll figure this out. And when you do, you will change the world. What is and always will be my greatest creation is you.“
