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

I wish the Russos had come out and said this earlier on. Instead of passing Tony’s death off like, “Oh it was the natural end to Tony because he was so selfish at the beginning,” their Entertainment Weekly interview about Tony’s ending actually examines Tony as a character critically–and also admits that he’s the truest hero of them all. 

First, they admit it wasn’t easy to kill Tony because many kids look up to him: 

In some ways, it seemed like a natural choice. Stark had gone from aloof arms dealer to someone who repeatedly risked his own life to spare others. But it still wasn’t an easy decision, especially given the hope and inspiration Iron Man has provided to fans over the years.

“There are a lot of sick kids who really look up to that character, and it’s hard because we’re trying to tell a story about heroism,” Joe Russo tells EW.

“And sometimes heroism involves doing whatever it takes,” Anthony adds.

Second, they admit Tony was always a hero with a self-sacrificial bent this entire time. His selflessness isn’t something new, but was a character trait that has always been there and had to be respected: 

There was a daredevil aspect to Tony Stark, a defiance of danger, a determination — almost a self-destructive impulse — to put himself in harm’s way. Eventually, it was going to end in something he couldn’t walk away from.

“I think in a way Tony Stark was meant to die, and he always knew he was going to die because he could never reconcile that notion in himself of not protecting the universe,” Joe says. “I think that was always a spark in him, always seeing that there was danger coming on the horizon and that someday, he and that danger would meet.”

To the Russos (and many fans), it makes sense that Tony would die defending the world, because there’s no way he’d stand-by–not when he’s been doing it for so long. It’s hard to imagine Tony ever retiring, sitting out the fight, because that’s not what real heroes do. They lay on the wire every time–and that’s what Tony has been doing all along. 

And third? They admit Tony was the most formidable of them all–and for the right reason:

This is why Thanos knows who this puny human is in Infinity War. Stark had already made a lot of trouble for him.

“Stark is the most formidable of all of them,” Joe says. “Because of his heart.”

Clearly Outmatched

*During the battle of Hogwarts a Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and Slytherin become cornered and are surrounded by Deatheaters*

Death Eater: “Give up. You are clearly outnumbered.”

“Yes, but you are clearly outmatched.” *The Hufflepuff striding in knocking a half dozen death eaters into the air before anyone has time to react*

*A large group of students charge in as reinforcement and take out the remaining death eaters in the area*

Hufflepuff to the bewildered trio: “Are you going to stand there gaping all day? We have a castle to defend.”

*Hufflepuff turns and runs off to the next area of battle, calling the reinforcements along*

Ravenclaw: “But… how….”

Slytherin: “I find it best not to question the Hufflepuffs too much…”

Gryffindor: “I don’t know about you two, but I’m sticking with them.”

the “tumblr community invents a whole mafia movie apparently directed by martin scorsese with an official soundtrack, movie posters, screen caps, and all enough to make one question if that movie really did exist at all like a mandela effect” was not part of my 2022 bingo card

62 Things the Avengers are Not Allowed to Do.

Is it possible to be a fan of a fandom?

Harry: *looking with wonder at the Marauder’s Map* Is that really…?

Fred: Dumbledore.

George: In his study.

Fred: Pacing.

George: Does that a lot.

Harry: So… what do the other professors do in their spare time?

Fred: Well, we’ve seen Flitwick’s dot hopping up and down in his office loads of times… figured he had some hidden passion for aerobics, but turns out Peeves just likes to drop his wand onto shelves he can’t quite reach.

George: Then there’s Snape. Creeps about at night quite a bit, which isn’t a surprise, but after we noticed him in the Trophy Room a few times, we went down one night to see what he was up to. He was changing your dad’s name to “Rotter” on all his Quidditch awards. 

Harry: HEY!

Fred: No worries, we set them right whenever he does it.

George: Man’s got to have a hobby.

Fred: Sprout sleepwalks, we reckon. Watched her bumping into the greenhouse wall for a half-hour one night. Lupin goes for a long jog in the Forbidden Forest once a month, it’s a bit odd. 

Harry: And McGonagall?

George: You know old mum. Standard stuff. Classroom, office, Great Hall one minute… 

Fred: …climbing the drapes, chasing birds, tipping over cups in the kitchens the next.
