oh my god, that was really violent

#HSE TOOK THE FINAL BATTLE #SHE TOOK IT AND BEAT THE SHIT OUTTA IT#YOU THINK TONY STARK SAVED THE DAY? HE DID NOT#IN HIS OWN MOVIE HE WAS NOT THE ONE TO DEFEAT THE ENEMY#HIS GIRLFRIEND KICKED THE MANDARIN’S ASS #AND IF YOU DO NOT THINK#THAT A WOMAN STEALING THE END FROM THE HERO #IS A GREAT THING#GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY FACE #PEPPER POTTS FOR PRESIDENT#TONY STARK TO AWKWARDLY STARE AT HER IN AWE AND WITH A STRANGE BONER#sorry i got carried away (via starksexual)

BUT NO SERIOUSLY CAN WE TALK FOREVER ABOUT HOW SHE STOLE THE ENDING. Because as soon as you get the idea that she’s alive, you think “oh, she’s going to come in at the last second and land a few punches and give Tony – the hero – enough time to get back on his feet and finish the battle, while she cheers from the side lines.” Just. Like. Every. Other. Movie. And then she FINISHES THE BATTLE. SHE KILLS HIM. 

#also can we talk about how one man in that movie treated Pepper as an Object#as a prize to be won#as a lure for Tony Stark#what happened to that man I wonder?#PEPPER POTTS FUCKING KILLED HIM#PEPPER POTTS IS A GODDESS

One of the (many) reasons I love Iron Man 3: its subversion of the norm on so many levels, including what’s “normally expected” of a movie heroine (and a movie hero…). 

i loved this, and i loved how tony did not for even a split second resent her or show any jealousy, or any sense that ‘his’ victory had been ‘stolen’ – he was up shit creek without a paddle, and she rescued the living hell out of him, and he was just in absolute wondering awe.

i am pretty sure the only thing about it they have any conflict over afterwards is how she doesn’t really want to talk about it any more than necessary, because it was a traumatic and upsetting time, but he wants to talk endlessly about how cool she was. he’s like “and then you just FWOOM” and she’s like “tony can we not” and he’s like “sorry babe sorry, ok, i know, i’m stopping. it’s just. FWOOM” and she’s like “tony please.”

yeah.

stark comes across as a narcissistic asshole, but believe me, an actual narcissistic asshole would not have been so happy here.
