hot take: ‘chivalry’ is fine as long as it’s adapted to 21st century values. if you are a male, you SHOULD be aware that your female friends face certain issues that you as a male dont. acting on that awareness in a way that keeps your female friends safe, isn’t a bad thing.
like… opening doors isn’t rly chivalrous when it’s just a thing you ought to do for everyone. but real 21st century chivalry might be, like, standing between your female friend and the guy that’s trying to get her drunk, or offering to walk her home when it’s late.
if the ‘chivalry’ inconveniences everyone involved and you’re just doing it for your over-inflated male ego — ie, “no you’re the girl here, you HAVE to let me hold this door for you and do all these things for you even when you can do it yourself and im just slowing you down” — then it’s just outdated misogyny.

you know what I miss from the early Iron Man movies? The optimism. The joy. The ego. This isn’t saying that I think Tony is egotistical (although to a certain extent he is), I’m saying that he had that rock star image.
I mean:
the stark expo?
the Senate hearing?
Making the suit? Look at how proud he is of himself! What an accomplishment! This bitch is going places
LOOK AT HIS FACE, in any given scene of these two movies, almost all of them Tony’s got attitude, ego, a sense of hope. Hell, lets go wild, lets add in the Avengers too:
HE’S JUST SUCH A DIFFERENT PERSON.
a sink hole of human despair. They’ve taken away his theme music, his house, his rock star persona, his hope, his joy, his fluffy hair…
I do fully understand the choice to give Tony PTSD (or whatever they are now calling this) because the guy has been through so much shit. I’m not saying they couldn’t have done that. I’m saying they completely changed everything about how they present his character and I miss the Tony that was, and could have been. They stole so much light and happiness from this man and they said it was because he was recovering but they never fucking gave it back. Look at his face in that last gif. That’s a man who keeps thinking he’s found rock bottom but actually there’s farther to fall.
please take this compilation of this man’s tiktoks of his ferrets and ducks

Why Tony Stark Does Not Deserve The Half The Shit He Goes Through And Why Thanos Should Quiver Before He Snaps: An Introspective Argument
— a 700-slide powerpoint presentation by Stephen Strange, self-proclaimed leader of the Tony Stark Defense Squad
Dick Grayson hangs up every phone call with “I love you.” At this point, it doesn’t really matter who the calls are too.
There were some awkward times when he had to call the league that he ended up saying “I love you” to people like Clark or Diana, but eventually everyone who knows him really got used to it.
For the most part, everyone says “I love you, too!” (But he’s a real easy guy to love.) Honestly it melts his heart every time.
He’s called a few pizza places or a customer service hotlines and still ended the phone call the same way (to his embarrassment.)
Now I keep thinking about him as the Batman hanging up on the League after saying “I love you” and then getting a call back after a minute only for everyone to say “I love you too”
