Because of the fact that Iron Man was always a second-stringer before the MCU, I don't think people fully appreciate that the Robert Downey Jr version of Tony Stark is something they basically made uphttps://twitter.com/mightygodking/status/1290339919731335176 …

To the point where they took it full circle, when they got the Spider-Man rights back and could have an actual Peter Parker in the movies he's just Iron-Lad He's defined by worshiping Tony and being in his shadow

"Somehow all this snarky bitchy angsty scrappy teenager energy transplanted into a middle-aged billionaire struck a deep chord with America" You could drop the rest of the thread and this quite would live on forever.

It is kind of cruelly disappointing that Elon Musk is vividly showing us who Tony Stark would be in real life, yes

the trick of it is, RDJ always kept tony's pain center focus; this kept him human, relatable--if you'd given the same notes to a different actor he'd've just come across as a pointlessly cruel asshole.

RDJ's extinction-level puppy-dog eyes have the supernatural ability to make us feel sorry for the character he's playing no matter how much of a dirtbag they are on paper.

It’s fair to write Tony as an emotionally stunted adult being a rich brat who lost his parents at a young age. He always seemed a bit too well adjusted in the comics or just more of a one-note, smart guy character. His lack of depth explains why he wasn’t very popular, originally

And as we've seen with the likes of Elon Musk, it's a rather realistic portrayal… Well, not the scrappy part, but snarky bitchy angsty teenager in a middle-aged body works well for a rich heir who never had to grow up because there always were people to fix his blunders for him
