and you can see Tony take on that role of the kid who'll let himself be herded, just stepping into that easily, letting Obi take care of things even though he feel so strongly about this one thing, still Obi's got that pull over him.
GOD SO TRUE. He just looks like a beaten down puppy, with his lame arm and all the scratches, and GOD. It must feel nice having someone take care of you after those 3 months, because like quigonejinn pointed out, Obi (now you have me doing it too, dammit) is as close to a father as he's going to get and after being unable to save Yinsin, having someone take care of this one thing has to be nice, having that chance to rest, even for a moment. Because Tony thinks he can only get just moments, because Tony thinks he's too smart (but in reality, just too stubborn) to let his guard down, because he fully believes no one can really think on his level, no one can see the whole picture, despite time and time again Tony gets into the scrapes he does because he can't do exactly that.
I want Movieverse!Tony to meet Mr. Fantastic, if only so he can see his sort of behavior from the outside. Also, because I can see Tony throwing a complete snitfit after a meeting with Mr. Fantastic at SHIELD, and Pepper looking up from her blackberry and smirking so fucking hard that Tony warns her that her face might freeze that way.
sidenote: I was just thinking about this the other day, how there are very little women super-geniuses in the Marvel U. DC has Oracle, Dr. Light (the girl one, not super-fin rapist dude) but Marvel U has...I can't think of any other than Sue Storm for a brief moment in the Ultimates universe (under Ellis, Millar came on and Sue Storm turned to porn face instead of science.) That kinda depresses me, yo.
A teenage kind of anger when you realize the world isn't the way you thought it was, that you can't have everything, that you have to get a job, that your parents aren't rich, that they're flawed and sometimes awful, that you yourself can and have hurt people, that other people hurt you for no good reason and the universe doesn't care. Everything was a lie and he's got to be so, so, deep down pissed.
And now he has a big metal suit with rockets on it.
I'm pretty much in love with that whole paragraph, just so you know, because YES. YES. Because if Tony was a 13 year old girl, he'd hang outside of the mall's Hot Topic and write deep poetry about how no one understands his pain, and he wears black so people will know the color of his sooooul.
But seriously, after Gulmira, and during the Iron Monger fight on the freeway, the potential for collateral damage was so crazy high, I couldn't wrap my brain around Rhodey letting Tony continue as Iron Man. It's not just that he's not formally trained, it's that he's not wired to actually see people as people. For god's sake, he has his suit differentiate between enemies and civilians. It's terrifying the thought of that kind of guy with that sort of weaponry trying to prove to the world that he's good by blowing shit up.
