tony stark: literally is held accountable for every single action made by himself along with maximoff and every other avenger, tries his hardest to work alongside ross and 117 countries that all demand superhero registration through the accords as voted for in the UN, despite knowing how much a lot of his team would reject such idea
wanda maximoff: is just a 26 year old kid!
tony stark: is a villain for trying to find a middle ground between selfish team members who refused to be held accountable for being dangerous people and the 117 countries around the world that want them to be held accountable since they’re all powerful & dangerous people (a lot of which have bad histories, see: wanda) who shouldnt be allowed to just freely use their powers when they clearly pose to be a potential threat to the public
everyone else: gets to do shit
tony stark: is a villain for doing similar shit while also being the only one who fucking cares
wanda maximoff: watched her parents die from a bomb created by stark industries Watched her parents die violently right in front of her when she was ten years old, and spent two days without food or water, trapped in the rubble of her home, staring at a live bomb three feet from her face that had not yet detonated, with the “Stark industries” logo plastered on the side serving as the only place for her to lay the blame for her suffering
tony stark:watched his parents get brutally murdered by a man standing 10 feet away from him Watched an old, grainy video of his parents death more than 30 years after the fact
wanda maximoff:is pardoned for wanting revenge against tony stark for what he did Is given endless grief by the fans for giving Tony a bad dream, despite actually letting him off VERY easy, all things considered. She is still called evil and treated like a villain despite dropping her quest for revenge as soon as she realized that it was endangering innocent people. And even though she still has every reason to still believe that Tony is partially culpable in the death of her parents, she has forgiven him and instead dedicated her life to making up for her own past mistakes
tony stark: is a villain for wanting revenge against bucky for what he did Gets to go back to his fancy mansion and make his suits and woo back his girlfriend with his millions while looking like a hero for locking Team Cap in an illegal underwater detainment center, and being completely forgiven for not only destroying public property, breaking the Accords multiple times, kidnapping a child, and trying to kill a man he knew was innocent, but for throwing his team under the bus for something that he had originally done behind their backs, and then leaving them all to rot in jail for the same crimes that he himself had committed
t’challa: watched his father die by a framed bucky barnes Watched his father die due to a bomb, and was later given Bucky as the “culprit” who planted it
tony stark:watched his mother die by bucky barnes
Watched an old, grainy video of his mother’s death more than 30 years after the fact
t’challa:gets to spend the entire film genuinely trying to kill bucky for revenge Is led to believe that Bucky – while in his right mind, and with malicious intent – planted the bomb that killed his father and many others, and proceeds to spend the film alternating between trying to kill Bucky, and –
when other people step in to tell him to stop –
simply trying to arrest him so that he can see Bucky officially brought to justice via trial and conviction
tony stark:is a villain for BLATANTLY holding back in a fight
due to his reaction to watching the most disturbing and fucked up thing
in his life Gets his suit broken a little when he tries to not only murder a man who he knows (and has mentioned multiple times that he knows)
full well is innocent, as well as trying to kill Steve when he steps in to try and protect Bucky/prevent Tony from becoming a murderer. He then gets a first-class lift back to America with the king of Wakanda and gets to become the leader of the “official, UN approved” Avengers, with nobody the wiser as to what really happened in Siberia
bucky barnes: mentally manipulated into doing tasks against his will
tony stark:mentally manipulated into doing self-destructive tasks Has been pursuing self-destructive hobbies for years (a fact that Wanda comments on), and when reminded of his fear of failing by an induced bad dream, he leaps back into his latest failed project with more gusto than before, and is willing to take shortcuts this time because he only has the very dangerous staff that he was specifically warned not to mess with but lied to Thor about to get a hold of it anyway for three days before Thor leaves with it
bucky barnes:is [rightfully] pardoned for years of being a deadly assassin Is nearly killed time and time again for crimes he didn’t commit, is a wanted fugitive from the entire world, and willingly puts himself back into cryosleep to protect others should anyone else try to force him into committing more atrocities against his will
tony stark: is a villain for creating something to protect earth that eventually backfired going behind the backs of his teammates and causing the deaths of hundreds of innocent men, women, and children by lying to his supposed “friends” so he could use a highly dangerous weapon to create a machine that would put him in sole control of the world and it’s “safety” – aka the triskellion 2.0: Stark calls the shots – and having that machine go rogue on him.
natasha romanova and wanda maximoff:both willingly worked for the bad guys Were deliberately orphaned by their abusers at a young age (and in very traumatic ways) and then recruited, abused, and used as child soldiers by evil adults with agendas who didn’t care about their health or wellbeing
tony stark:was unaware that his partner and friend had been selling his weapons to the bad guys Made weapons of mass destruction for sale to anyone with enough money to buy them, constantly attended functions to rub elbows and arrange trade deals with terrorists like Ulysses Claue, and didn’t start caring about whose hands his weapons ended up in until one of them nearly killed him – even then only “fixing” the problem by restricting sales of his weapons to the United States instead of keeping them available to a worldwide market. Only cared that Obie was selling weapons to terrorists insofar as Tony himself was endangered by it, and was more than happy to turn a blind eye to what was going on before that.
natasha romanova and wanda maximoff:get pardoned for the blood on their hands when they join shield/the avengers Are only spared jail or death by the mercy of Clint and Steve respectively, and in turn are spending the rest of their lives dedicated to helping others in order to make up for being kidnapped into an evil organization as children
tony stark:is a villain for the weapons that obadiah sold to
the bad guys despite immediately getting upset about it and confronting
him about it Is seen as a hero for parading around as iron man and throwing a little money at charities on occasion to boost PR ratings. He is only considered a villain by the third world countries who are still facing the affects of his weapons, which are still being used on them by the united states (who purchase them legally from stark) and HYDRA (who are still somehow getting a hold of his weapons even after he’s gotten rid of “the only one selling weapons to terrorists” Stane)
steve rogers: throws an entire trailer at peter without knowing if he has super strength Pins peter with an airport passenger boarding bridge to take him out of the fight in the least painful way possible after facing him one on one and realizing that he has super strength because they played tug of war with the shield and Peter hauled him off his feet
tony stark:says that they need to hold wanda accountable for her mistakes Locks Wanda in the compound behind the team’s back and kicks her off the Avengers roster to hand over to Ross because she couldn’t save everyone from a terrorist bomb at Lagos and Tony still has a vendetta against her
steve rogers:gets praised for saying she’s “just a kid” in
defending her horrendous mistakes despite her age and the destruction
she caused before Is accused of babying Wanda when he tries to remind Tony that Wanda is a human being, not a weapon, and that locking her up for being enhanced is really not okay
tony stark:is a villain for bringing peter to “web them up” and making peter leave the battle the moment he gets hurt Never faces any consequences for legally kidnapping a child, breaking international law as well as the Accords to bring him to Germany to fight a bunch of super-powered adults, hiding his age from the others despite knowing that there is a chance that the others may not pull their punches for Peter, and only tells Peter to sit it out when he is no longer useful, as the battle is moving to the air and Peter can’t fly
wanda maximoff:never has to own up to working for hydra,
manipulating every member of the avengers, or triggering the hulk into
destroying a civilian city under her control, joining alongside ultron
until she does one good thing, essentially being the cause of all the
death and destruction in aou, and eventually not being able to control
her powers in lagos that she previously had total control over, which
resulted in deaths upon deaths, and also gets to watch the hulk take all
the burn and blame for the city she made him destroy Lost her entire world and her only living family member because of the mistakes she made, is seen as a monster
by the rest of the world because of her powers, faces constant harassment from Tony, and always has her actions cast in a villainous light – even if she is saving lives – because people are afraid of her, leading to Wanda solely taking the blame for Rumlowe’s attack in Lagos. (All of this despite making her mistakes when she was young, incredibly ill-informed and acting under dubious consent.)
She winds up locked in a shock collar and straightjacket, kept in prolonged solitary confinement (both of which are legally considered torture) in an underwater prison in the middle of the ocean with only fake light and filtered air (breach of human rights per the geneva conventions) and is treated as nothing more than a weapon of mass destruction by one of her own teammates who later sells her out to a man who is known for hating the enhanced and likely wants to experiment on her to create super soldiers with her DNA.
tony stark:literally is held accountable for every single
action made by himself along with maximoff and every other avenger,
tries his hardest to work alongside ross and 117 countries that all
demand superhero registration through the accords as voted for in the
UN, despite knowing how much a lot of his team would reject such idea Decides to solve the issue of Hulk running 300km from the scrapyard to Johannesburg by starting a fist-fight in the middle of a city, leveling buildings and endangering civilians to try and take Hulk out instead of luring him off or calling in the iron legion act backup, and only making him more angry in the process. Works behind his teammates’ back in corroboration with a man who is known to hate enhanced beings, in order to draft up a contract that enslaves his teammates while completely letting Tony off the hook for Ultron. Tries to coerce the others into signing by lying to his teammates constantly about being able to amend the document and protect their human rights while at the same time stripping one of his teammates of her basic human rights based solely on the grounds that she’s enhanced and he thinks she needs to be locked away somewhere.
wanda maximoff:is just a 26 year old kid! Is only about 18 in AoU and is acting solely on good intentions and bad information. Genuinely cares about people and tries to protect others. Is willing to drop a long-standing grudge against the man that ruined her life and destroyed her family in order to help the Avengers stop Ultron. Is trying her best to be an adult despite spending most of her formative years without any kind of adult influence to show her how to do that.
tony stark:is a villain for trying to find a middle ground
between selfish team members who refused to be held accountable for
being dangerous people and the 117 countries around the world that want
them to be held accountable since they’re all powerful & dangerous
people (a lot of which have bad histories, see: wanda) who shouldnt be
allowed to just freely use their powers when they clearly pose to be a
potential threat to the public Is a 50 year old man who’s never had to be responsible for anything in his life, and is trying to pin the blame for his mistakes on his teammates as a quick fix so he can go back to his parties and his failed attempts at wooing back the girlfriend he constantly takes advantage of. Willingly pushes a document that essentially enslaves half his teammates (as well as Peter and any other enhanced) due to the very nature of their existence, while letting Tony completely off the hook because his enhancements come on and off with the press of a button. Manages to be a constant danger to the public without having any enhancements at all, through being irresponsible and not caring about the consequences of his actions or who he hurts, and is never held accountable for this because he can bribe his way out of most trouble he gets into. Is allowed to freely use his suits for frivolous things (shooting objects at a crowded party, sitting on rooftops eating doughnuts, using his suit as a party trick to get in with the ladies) while never having to stop and consider the consequences of his actions or who he is endangering.
everyone else:gets to do shit Has to face actual consequences for their actions, and actively try to make up for their mistakes. Are always in the fight to protect innocent lives, despite what it will cost them to do so.
tony stark:is a villain for doing similar shit while also being the only one who fucking cares Parties, drinks, and bribes his cares away. Only cares when directly confronted with a problem, and even then only cares in that it’s an annoyance that he needs to make go away. Is in this for the fame, glory, and popularity that comes with being Iron Man. Bails the second that things start going south in the aftermath, and re-joins the team when they’re being praised as heroes again. Is only willing to risk himself when his life is being threatened in the process. Breaks multiple international laws as well as the Accords, and never has to face any kind of legal ramifications for that.
Seriously, OP…
Woobie Tony fanfiction is not Marvel canon.
Stop trying to pretend like every other character is a villain because you are unable to accept the fact that your fav has seriously fucked up.
