I Just Think It Is So Symbolic And Adorable That Iroh Is Still Wearing His Earth Kingdom Outfit In The

When I have a slight inconvenience:

I guess it’s time to dream up another plot line/read fanfic

sacrifice plays tony stark has been willing to make (and has made) in the mcu:

iron man 1: commanded pepper to blow up the stark industries roof with him still on it in order to stop ironmonger, knowing it could potentially kill him as well 

avengers: flew a nuke through a wormhole into space on a suicide mission in order to destroy the chitauri armada and save the world

iron man 3: in a deleted scene, tony took out his arc reactor to use as a defibrillator to save a young boy’s life, and went into cardiac arrest as the shrapnel crawled further and further towards his heart 

age of ultron: placed himself underneath a falling city to blow it up before it caused global destruction, knowing he may not walk away 

infinity war: begged strange not to trade the time stone away to spare his life after thanos had impaled him and was about to finish him off with the gauntlet

endgame: wielded the infinity stones to turn thanos and his entire army to dust, knowing the price was his own life

sacrifice plays thor has been willing to make in the mcu:

thor 1: offered his life in exchange for loki to cease his attack on the town and his newfound friends

infinity war: risked killing himself in order to forge stormbreaker for the chance to kill thanos

endgame: practically begged to put the gauntlet on to snap everybody back before tony stopped him because he wasn’t in any mental condition to make that choice

sacrifice plays natasha romanoff has been willing to make (and has made) in the mcu:

aou: was willing to stay on sokovia and die with everybody she thought they wouldn’t be able to save before fury surprised them with the helicarrier

endgame: sacrificed her own life on vormir to give the team the chance to bring everybody thanos dusted back

sacrifice plays clint barton has been willing to make in the mcu:

aou: shielded the young boy in his arms with his own body when ultron started shooting in their direction

endgame: was also willing to sacrifice his own life on vormir but natasha beat him to it

endgame: could be argued that offering himself up as the guinea pig for the time travel test run was a form of a sacrifice play 

sacrifice plays bruce banner has been willing to make in the mcu:

ragnarok: changed into hulk to help thor save asgard, risking relinquishing all control to hulk, knowing he may never be able to turn back

endgame: wielded the gauntlet to bring everybody back, at great physical cost (he didn’t even know for sure if he’d even survive it)

sacrifice plays steve rogers has been willing to make in the mcu:

the first avenger: jumped on a (fake) grenade

the first avenger: flew a plane into the arctic to save his country

i really don’t understand why steve is painted as the noble, self-sacrificing hero when the rest of the avengers have actually been willing to make more sacrifice plays than he has?? steve isn’t even in the top half of the list!! tony has first place with the amount of times he’s been willing to lay his life on the line to save others yet he’s often painted as selfish and egotistical. post-tfa, steve legit became all talk. in endgame, he told everybody else to do “whatever it takes” while not really putting in the same effort himself. and in the end, he just went back in time and rewarded himself with a long happy life, abandoning everybody else in the present. he got everything back, while; tony sacrificed his life and left behind a family, nat sacrificed her life for clint’s family, thor had to accept his entire family and best friends are all dead, and bruce has to live with a physical handicap and the loss of nat. honestly, don’t talk to me about how noble and morally superior captain america is because endgame proved that he kinda isn’t… 

So talking with @rescueironman​, @jess-b-thot​, and @kayytx​, we’re beginning to think Steve’s reaction to “Scott’s” message (”Is this an old message?”) is a misdirect. It’s tricky trailer editing.

It’s Steve reacting to a distress call from The Benatar. 

In the Infinity War prelude novel, Infinity War: The Heroes’ Journey, it’s stated that Tony launched “thousands of nano-satellites in all directions, which will travel hundreds of thousands of miles through space and deploy sensor arrays.”

Tony’s been obviously recording messages from the spaceship (probably not just the one to Pepper, but others, perhaps a distress signal); it’s possible one of them got picked up by one of his nano-satellites and gets the signal back to Earth.

Set photos seem to hint Scott doesn’t arrive until some time has passed (and this was hinted with Janet warning Scott about the “time vortex”), so it doesn’t make much sense for him to reunite with the group when Natasha still has blonde hair (very recently post-IW). 

This also fits why Natasha and Steve suit up, talk about a plan that needs to “work,” and then also locks in with what the Omaze winner reported from set (Nat, Steve, Carol, Rocket, and Pepper all meet up with Tony and Nebula on a “spaceship”). So it’s possible Carol gets to Tony and Nebula first OR Carol meets up with Natasha and Steve prior to the rescue mission (and Carol is the one Natasha is filling in during the trailer when she summarizes the events of what happened because note she’s in the Compound and still has blonde hair).

Steve and Nat launch a rescue mission because they find out Tony’s still alive and in trouble.

She Has a Degree in Accounting Too, You Know

Pepper Potts always told people that she was hired as Tony’s personal secretary because his last one had quit, he needed a new one, and she was there. The truth, however, is that Tony had known she was qualified from the get-go. 

He noticed ALL of his employees. Didn’t matter if it was a member of the board or the janitor who works nights on Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Tony notices things. It’s basically the only thing that’s keeping him from going off the deep end. He hates dealing with business. He’s always preferred inventions to talking to people about things like stock and commercials and how his public image will affect the sales. (The board acts like him going out with a model is going to bring stock points down or whatever. It’s not going to.) 

Tony notices Virginia Potts six months before he hires her and the day that she started working for the department she was supposed to be in. She was supposed to work as a manager of sorts for accounting, and from what Tony heard from his good friend Tanya down there, Virginia was scarily good at what she did. Ms. Potts didn’t fuck around with anyone, never accepted less than perfection, but was also incredibly understanding of financial situations and compromise. Tony nodded and carried on with his invention. He thought the board would really like The Jericho. He, of course, named it. The irony was fitting. 

Virginia is known for zero tolerance. Men call her various names along the line of “Frigid Bitch,” “Slut,” and “Prude.” Most of these terms contradicted each other, and Tony leveled the “we’re-just-talking” insults with a steady gaze. “She’s not a slut or a prude because she does her job better than you can,” he says flippantly. “Speaking of which, Peterson! Your numbers have down for two months. I’m having you step down, Alejandres is taking your spot.” Peterson glowers, but Tony honestly can’t bring himself to give a shit. 

Virginia Potts unflinchingly deals with businessmen who call her things like “darling,” sweetheart,” or “girly.” She kindly tells them that they are not allowed to refer to her as such. Her name is Ms. Potts, not any iteration. They grumble as she grins and tears their “deals” apart with a smile as sharp as a shark’s tooth. Her hair is never out of place as she shuts down employees who are being rude. Tony lets each one go with a talk about workplace discrimination under their belts. Howard and Obie may have tolerated it, but Tony will not. 

Virginia Potts points out an accounting mistake that would have cost the company around two million dollars. The accounting person insists that they have it right, and if she’s so sure that the person with a degree in their field is wrong, then they can take it up with Tony Stark Himself. Virginia looks over the sheet one more time. 

“I have a degree in accounting too,” she primly informs him. “But of course, Mr. Stark is the expert of his own company. I’ll set up an appointment.” 

She meets him a week later in his office when he’s trying to make a leaning tower of cantaloupe squares. She’s wearing her finest pencil skirt and blazer, heels tall enough to kill a man, and levels him with an unimpressed gaze. 

“Mr. Stark. I’m here to discuss an accounting mistake.” Tony’s fruit tower is knocked down as he glances at the paper. 

“Who was about to cost the company two million dollars because they refused to recheck their math?” 

“Tom Martin.” 

“Have someone tell him he needs to clear his desk by Monday. That’s unacceptable.” She raises her eyebrow at him. 

“I’m not your messenger, Mr. Stark.” He smiles for a split-second. If she accepted the job proposition, then she would be great at it. 

“Would you like to be? I’m in the market for a new personal assistant.” 

“Did you get bored with the other one?” Virginia asks. She seems to realize her remark was a hair too unprofessional, but doesn’t relent. Tony laughs. 

“You have a little bit of a kick to you, don’t you?” Tony asks. “I’m calling you Pepper. Would you like to be a personal assistant? I promise you that you, at least, won’t be bored.” She’s apprehensive. 

“Don’t call me Pepper. What do I do?” 

“I’m calling you Pepper. You do a lot of things. Drag me to board meetings, help me be a regular person to the outside world, and get a bump in pay.” 

“Fine.” 

Pepper Potts is…scary. She’s unafraid of calling Tony out on his bullshit behavior. She’s the drive behind his evolving fashion sense. (”You have money to buy a tailored suit that fits,” she says. “You’re getting one. I booked the appointment for one. If you don’t go, I’ll drag you there by the ear.”) She always looks put together and almost never has a hair out of place unless she gets to the workshop and manhandles him out from under a car. 

“That’s a Tin Lizzy!” Tony hisses. “You can’t touch her like that! She’s a classic!” 

“You’re about to get a classic, public dressing down by me if you don’t move and get dressed for the board meeting,” she hisses right back. “I packed you a lunch. Go.” Tony grumbles. She packed a goddamn Lunchable with a smiley face Post-It that says “since you’re being such a little bitch :)”

Tony kind of loves her. 

She understands a lot more about business than even Tony gave her credit. Sometimes, she’ll even contribute ideas. Pepper always nervously laughs and says she could never be in such a high position of power. 

Tony feigns laziness and has her decide an executive decision. 

It’s a start. 

So when Pepper laughs with one of her business friends about how Tony impulse-hired her on the spot because his last one had quit, Tony always grins. 

(On Tina)

Newt: I-I don’t know Jacob theres just something about her.

Jacob: Yeah?

Newt: Her hands are.. well they’re so nice and, soft.. almost like the fur of a pigmy puff.

thor a feminist:

Yeah alright that makes sense.

Thank you :)

am I the only one who thinks “for the children” and the way they say it sounds wayyyy too much like “hail hydra” ????

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!!!!!

yoooo wtf is sharon up to?????
