What I find interesting about the character of Tony is that he makes mistakes. He jokes with them, tries to get them to laugh, and while he’s brash and obnoxious, he’s actually paying more attention to them than he did to the bigwigs.Īnd then Tony watches his own weapons kill them. Tony’s far more friendly to the soldiers. When he rides back to the camp, he rides with the soldiers. In Iron Man 1, you see Tony make his obnoxious and loud weapons presentation to a bunch of generals and war secretaries. And no, being raised by lousy parents isn’t an excuse for growing up to be an asshole.īut here’s the interesting thing about Tony. It’s also clear that Tony was raised by wolves (if wolves were bitter, distant alcoholics who felt threatened by their kid’s achievements). In Iron Man 1, Tony’s kind of a womanizing, warmongering drunk. Not nine thousand stories that include Steve (twenty-nine thousand stories) and Tony (thirty thousand stories) as characters, but nine thousand stories that pair them together. Ahem.)Īs of today, there’s over nine thousand fanworks with the pairing Steve Rogers and Tony Stark on the A03 (the most popular fic archive).
What’s so interesting about a couple of characters from a movie over two years old?Įspecially since it includes a guy who wears tights and another guy who wears iron pants? (OK, before anyone says, yes, they’re actually titanium-gold alloy pants, thank you, yes I know.
I demurred, being busy with something-or-other, but, in the fullness of time, he asked me again, and this time, I caved. A couple of months ago, I was nattering on about various amazing Tony/Steve stories, as you do, and Noah asked me to write about it a bit, as he does.
