I recognize that canon has made a decision, but given that it’s a stupid-ass decision, I’ve elected to ignore it and indulge myself in fanfic

Clint: So, we have three more daughters now.

I need more of this
Iroh: People work their entire lives to find spirits and access the spirit world. It has taken years of dedication and study for me to reach the small part of it that I’m able to find.
Sokka, who accidentally steered a canoe to where the Avatar had been frozen for a century and then fell in love with the moon and also spent 24 hours in the spirit world that one time and was the only one who the hallucinations flat-out spoke to in the magical swamp: what, like it’s hard?

The importance of this, not just the stakes of this storyline, but also the importance of this chapter of all of our lives culminating in this way… It really feels like we’re doing something extraordinary.
The Original Six on Avengers: Endgame (2019)
idk what everyone is so sad about, I totally loved the after credits scene where Helen Cho used Extremis and the Cradle to heal Tony after the snap, the bleeding edge armor took on the form of a prosthetic arm when Tony’s was beyond repair, and he then had the rest of his life to recover and be with his loved ones and his four children with cheeseburgers for everyone!!! 😭😭😭 such a heartwarming and perfect ending wow!!!!!
When I think about it, aside from the heartbreak in the final minutes, Endgame was full of the most amazing Tony Stark development and characterization. He was just so good in the movie. Like… as much as it doesn’t feel like it sometimes because we lost our hero, Tony fans were incredibly well-fed.
Tony’s compassion was emphasized during his short scenes with Nebula in space. During the game with Tony, Nebula was finally able to win for once in her life.
Tony’s feelings were given time to breathe in the film. We see him reaching out to Pepper in the earliest moments, expressing his desire to see her again. It shows how much of a romantic he’s always been.
Tony got to air his grievances with Steve over the fallout with Civil War without being forced to apologize.
We got to see that Tony led a happy and fulfilling life for at least five years with his family. He and Pepper were happily married. Tony and Pepper have an amazing little girl together.
Tony is portrayed as a damn good father. Showing that he broke the cycle. He’s a better man than Howard will ever be.
It was Tony who cracked time-travel, which should’ve been impossible.
It was Tony who ultimately made it possible to bring everyone back, because he selflessly put aside his concerns for his family (and his own happiness) to make the leap. Meaning: none of this would’ve worked without Tony’s brains (ability to find the solution) and his heart (willingness to help others).
We got classic Stark nicknames like “Blue Meanie” and “Lebowski.”
Tony and Steve finally got to resolve their trust issues and work together. Tony’s the one who gave Steve his shield back. (And we also got Tony blatantly checking out Steve’s ass–and commenting on it.)
Tony was always there to check and make sure the team were okay (ex: trying to get Thor to sit down when he got emotional recounting what happened during the events of Dark World; giving Bruce medical treatment after he snapped the gauntlet; telling Thor he was in no condition to use the gauntlet; checking up on Steve after the Compound exploded (”That’s my man!”))
Regardless of one’s feelings about Howard, Tony was finally able to find closure with his father, which he desperately needed.
Tony had the strength to harness all six infinity stones without it doubling him over in pain. (He’s a badass bitch.)
Tony had the willpower to snap his fingers, knowing all it would cost him.
Tony Stark saved the fucking universe. He was literally “The One.” How many other characters can say the same?
There’s a reason most critics are saying Tony was the emotional core of the story and RDJ’s performance was the highlight of the film. While other characters might’ve had more flashy moments or funnier lines, while other characters might’ve gotten happy endings, and Tony didn’t, the heartbeat of the film really did resound inside Tony. No doubt, he had the best story arc through the entire MCU–and Endgame was no different.
Anyway… that’s just some positive outlook. I know we’re all heartbroken by the ending. We had to say goodbye to Tony. His ending wasn’t fair. He leaves behind so much. But, in the grand scheme, Tony’s arc in this film was beautiful. It was the film.
Phil Coulson is turning over in his grave right now
Steve: We’ve been hunting Thanos for three weeks now. We’ve face-scanned satellites, we got nothing. Tony, you fought him-
Tony: -Who told you that? I didn’t fight him. No. He wiped my face with a planet while the Bleaker Street magician gave away the store. That’s what happened. There was no fight-
Steve: Alright. Okay. Did he give you any clues? Any co-ordinates? Anything?
Tony: I saw this coming for years. I had a vision - I didn’t want to believe it. Thought I was dreaming-
Steve: Tony, I’m gonna need you to focus-
Tony: -And I needed you. As in past-tense. That trumps what you need. It’s too late, buddy. Sorry. (…) And I believe I remember telling all of ya’s - alive and otherwise - that what we needed was a suit of armour around the world! Remember that? Whether it impacted our “precious freedoms” or not. That’s what we needed.
Steve: Well, that didn’t work out, did it?
Tony: I said we’d lose. You said: “we’ll do that together too.” Guess what, Cap? We lost. You weren’t there. But that’s what we do, right? Our best work after-the-fact? We’re the Avengers? We’re the A-vengers?! Not the Pre-vengers? Right? I’ve got nothing for you, Cap. I got no co-ordinates, no clues, no strategies, no options. Zero, zip, nada. No trust, liar. *rips arc reactor off his chest and slams it into Steve’s hand* You find him, you put that on. You hide.
