i actually think it's very in-character. sure, there's lots of metas, but none of them with spider-man's combination of power and weak will like every time this young demigod calls him "mr stark" it's such a hit of dopamine

The circumstances of Peter Parker siding with Tony Stark are completely different in the comics version of Civil War but it still gets pointed out the Spider-Man being on the pro-reg side makes no sense because he has the most to lose of all of them from government oversight

It's weird because I don't actually think there are any instances of classical secret identities in the MCU prior to Peter Parker I guess just Scott Lang but that was in parallel

Yeah and Peter's only viable morally - or consistent with Stark's most driving motives - if he literally doesn't know he's a kid.

the point is that tony is driven by guilt but in a totally displaced and maladaptive way he feels incredibly bad about what happened and does less than zero soul-searching about what character flaws led him to the mistakes he made

I don't disagree, I just feel that it's ultimately not wholly consistent with Tony's better angels, in a way that ultimately causes more problems - especially in some truly insufferable Discourse - than it solves.

Really, after the whole Ultron incident, nobody should have trusted Tony Stark with any kind of responsibility ever again.

Yeah that was pretty much a worst case scenario, even with the movie trying to make it as innocent an accident as they possibly could

It's funny because when you think about it, that movie doesn't really give Wanda any reason to hate Tony Stark LESS

I mean when she turns against Ultron it's because she comes to realize Ultron is just Tony Stark without his human limitations

And yes the fact that her grievance is with Tony specifically and the movie never really gives the two of them a chance to deal with that is one reason this movie is bad

Also like The comics made it really clear that Ultron is a bad copy of Hank Pym's brain and went over how this is reflected in his behavior a bunch of times The movie just kind of alludes to this idea of Ultron being Tony's metal son but barely justifies it
