VOGELSTRONG

On the top of my head, I can count 3 separate times Tony Stark sacrificed himself in order for the Avengers to win.

When he flew a nuke into a wormhole in The Avengers 2012, not even sure if he himself would survive but ensuring the survival of everyone on Earth.

When he got stabbed in the stomach in IW by Thanos (after fighting the Titan single handily for a whole minute with only the armor he created) and Strange saracrifed the soul stone for him (saying that “there was no other way”).

In Endgame, when he wielded the Guantlet (that he created in his lab in one night btw) and snapped Thanos from existence, LITERALLY SAVING THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.

And this is all just what I can think of while I’m eating my cereal guys.

My point is: Anthony Edward Stark has walked the wire more times than Steve Rogers has ever had. His death in Endgame (which does make him the biggest hero of the MCU ((besides Nat who is tied)) and leaves him a lasting legacy as the literal heart of the MCU) is unfair to me because he has sacrificed so much for his world and the fact that he was only allowed 5 years of peace (if you could even call it that— Peter’s death weighed heavily on him) with his daughter and wife breaks my heart.
