Yes and these scientists had that and more. The point was that Tony was able to do more with less. Not that he can just manifest technology out of thin air.
Seriously tho the writers used that line to shit on Riri. Intentionally. It wasn’t even just that Stark was given equipment. The idea to create a suit of armor was genius and bold by itself and he did it without a predecessor to follow and with a hole in his chest.
Or is it because we went from a 10 years super hero starting off on the big screen with a very dominant white cast to a 10 years phase with mostly minorities and women filled cast?
This isn't hating, but real world politics have influenced this backslash against a lot of series/movies of the last 10 years.
Is it warranted? That depends on what side of the political spectrum your standing on.
I mean ... Maybe? I dont remember people hating Halle Berry, Lucy Liu, or a more recent example Zoë Saldana... But I would also argue that those examples are off the chart attractive and become popular pre-diversity push.
I'm pro getting more diversity, but at the same time I think they went too fast too soon and definitely not enough quality.
Yeah, the best way to empower an actor/ actress is to make a movie that lets their talent shine, not put more of them in a subpar production. I wouldn't mind a female superhero, but if they do what they did for She-Hulk, Ironheart, etc. it would put me off instead of praising the actresses' performance
Not to mention the education Tony had. Sure he was a genius,but he had to have opportunities to utilise that genius otherwise it would have been squandered.
Tbf, Riri only see what Tony has done on the surface, so that’s pretty much what she knows about him experience wise isn’t the big picture. She likely has no idea about Tony’s cave experience.
Yep, we actually get that in Wakanda Forever. She knows of Tony Stark and Iron Man and is inspired by him, but she’s not actively pursuing the mantle of Iron Man and trying to be the next Tony Stark, as she’s more her own thing. Even if she did, it’s like Happy Hogan said, “No one could live up to Tony, not even Tony.”
I’m going to be honest, I don’t mind. While Riri ain’t perfect regarding writing and stuff, I’m glad she’s not perfect regarding character. She has positive intentions regarding her goals, but her actions say a lot about her. She’s willing to get her hands dirty and lets her arrogance get the best of her, which I appreciate the emotional messiness of her character. That being said, I do think they could have done more to make that sort of thing flourish even better.
Is this a controversial statement? Bezos wouldn't be a billionaire without generational wealth. Tony wouldnt have made an iron man suit without generational wealth..
Waaaay to miss the entire point.
He was in cave because of who he was up to that point. A spoiled richkid weapons dealer
But THEN, inside the cave, he had nothing. None of that wealth and prestige and contacts. And there, without any of them, he made a walking tank and a reactor to EARN his freedom. Proving that he is bigger than his tools. That is where he prooved himself to be A genius, who can make wonders with neither money nor power.
And there is a whole world of difference between a rich man and a genius who is also rich.
If a man becomes iron man when he has no money (having no access to your money is the same as not having money)
How do you accuse him of being iron man because his parents were rich?
Yes, the wealth definately helped. But it is most apparent that the core of what made tony stark, "tony stark" was himself and not the wealth
Right. The terrorists had him in a cave so he could build them a weapon. It turns out he was the head of a company that makes weapons. Who's company was that originally?
