>>107986973>peak dislikable The way Tony treated Steve after he finds out ruins Tony for me more.
He didn't speak to him for two years even though Steve risked his life and ability to serve trying to get a letter and phone through, just to apologize. Stilted as it was, it was sincere but Tony stans can only call it narcissistic.
Tony was rich enough to be cushioned from any consequences throughout his life. He broke the law many times during him the movies. And then the Accords numerous times and didn't end up in the Raft.
Tony didn't call him for the space invasion when he still had time on earth, or after he was fighting Maw and called Pepper when going to space. Then he came back from Titan and acted like he was the only victim who lost anyone, while in actuality he lost Peter. Every one of his own people - Pepper, Happy, Rhodey, maybe Nat or Fury - were alive. While Steve lost Bucky, Sam, Wanda, Vision, T'Challa, Fury, Maria - almost everyone he came to call family. I guess he lost Tony before any of that happened.
Then Tony proceeded to ignore him and not speak to Steve for another five years while he lived his best life, got married and had a kid etc. MCU Tony treated his Steve like garbage most of the time even before Cap started withholding his secret.
But Steve's judged and bashed based on one mistake (not telling Tony about his parents) while Tony gets chance after chance and then he dies a martyr so no one can criticize him, ever. I don't hate him but MCU Tony is a disappointment in as many ways as he is a great character, to me.
In the end, Steve still does what he can to honor his promise to Tony, even if Tony said it in passing, that he'll get there, the simple life. He lost his home and anchor in the new world. And to me, Steve is tragic, he lived from one kind word to the next, from Tony, Natasha, Sam, Bucky and in the end, the sum total of his loss in the new future outweighs his loss from his past when he got into the ice.
