mcu moments re: iron man that make me GLOW IN A SELF-INDULGENT CLOUD OF “DAMN FUCKING RIGHT!!!! DAMN RIGHT MOTHERFUCKERS DAMN RIGHT DAMN FUCKING RIGHT”:

– “if my math is right – and it always is”
– “handles like a dream”
– “TONY STARK WAS ABLE TO BUILD THIS IN A CAVE! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!” / “sorry, i’m not tony stark”
– [synthesizes new element after building a particle accelerator in his basement in the space of like one afternoon] “that was easy”
– “you can’t afford me”
– “there’s no throne. there’s no version of this where you come out on top. now maybe your army comes and maybe it’s too much for us, but it’s all on you. because if we can’t protect the earth, you can be damn well sure we’ll avenge it”
– HONESTLY THAT ENTIRE IM3 BIT WHERE HE’S TWIRLING AROUND AND FIGHTING WITH AN IRON MAN GAUNTLET A ROCKET BOOT AND A HAND GUN

my god how the fuck could i forget cap 3, my second favorite tony movie

– “REFRAME THE FUTURE!”
– “am i running a bed and breakfast for a biker gang?”
– STOPPING A BULLET?? WITH?? HIS HAND???
-?????!!!!????????
– that moment when he ditches ross at the raft and hops into the stark chopper and there’s a Superhero Theme playing like honestly
– okay maybe this is not a “damn right” moment because the circumstances are so fucking tragic but like that moment in the final battle when tony’s targeting systems are malfunctioning and he has to eyeball it and he doesn’t miss

OMG the eyeballing thing was so perfect it gave me chills and it still does every time I think about it. 

#ALL THE REST OF THIS TOO

And frankly the whole time Tony was on The Raft and taking shit from Clint and etc. and you could tell it hurt but he had to let it slide off, because THAT WHOLE TIME Tony was in immense danger – he’s PLAYING A ROLE and just barely sliding by Ross, who’s made of suspicion and could lock Tony up at any time and throw away the key and no one would ever know – but Tony is the only one who could ever charm and b.s. his way through a scenario like this with the fucking U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE WHO IS RUNNING SOME KIND OF BLACK SITE FOR EXTRAORDINARY RENDITIONS out in international waters where there ARE NO RULES except the ones Ross makes.

And then Tony finally eases back into the helicopter and CAN’T RESIST ONE FINAL SNARKY QUIP anyway and Ross smiles but his eyes are daggers, but Tony has what he came for – the INFO HE NEEDS TO TRY TO SAVE STEVE AND BUCKY…and then he’s in the air and “safe” and I breathed a big sigh of relief – except that then he’s off flying alone in his armor ACROSS THE OCEAN TO SIBERIA and how the heck far is that?  How exhausting would that be flying in a huge ocean storm thousands of miles, just one man in a can, tiny against all that vast turmoil of nature, because he’s trying to avoid radar and satellite surveillance to try to bring his friend and his friend’s friend back into the fold?

How much determination and courage?  How much love?
