Did anyone else feel like giving Stark a hug after this movie?
Guy spent the majority of his life dealing with his grief through science, alcoholism, and eight years prior, being the Iron Man. As a result, the woman he loves leaves him, he fucks up and creates Ultron while trying to protect the world from an incoming, unbeatable alien invasion, and then, all of a sudden, the truth of his parent's brutal murder is revealed to him while the realizing the one man he felt he could still trust hid the truth from him. Decades of suppressed emotion manifested as a fit of rage that not even Stark's own logical mind could reign in, even though he knew it was wrong, and at the end of it all, he fought the closest friend he had left nearly to the death, and was beaten down by him and the man that unwillingly murdered his parents, leaving him even more broken than he was before.
Damn, I wanted to see Stark get a satisfying comeuppance, but not like this. He just wanted to do good, and it always blows up in his face because he's too estranged from his own humanity to figure it out, and this movie is where it the root of everything wrong with him just exploded like a damn nuke. This was plain goddamn heartbreaking.
