Ironman sacrificing his life to erase Thanos and his entire armada is probably the most satisfying moment in the marvel. He finally got rid of all the nightmares and demons, and now he can sleep peacefully.

[@erictalkington5674]

It was pretty cool. Never saw any of these until recently. They were really good. Captain America always harping on Stark because he thinks Stark is selfish and would never put others before him, that made this moment really cool even though Stark constantly puts himself in harms way for others. He showed that several times throughout the Avenger movies and in the Civil War movie too. He even told the ones on his team to take it easy on their friends.

He had said before that defeat turns your legs to jelly, that's why he sat down. It's kind of similar to when Gamora said she always hated his thrown so Thanos sat on the steps because he really did love her.

Pepper is so great here and it's completely real for her character. She's calm and collected when she verifies with Friday that this is it for Tony. She uses the last few moments with her life partner to tell him what HE needs to hear. And saves the tears for after he's gone. Just such a beautiful display of unselfishness and leadership.

[@LysergicSigma]

This exactly describes her character and i love her for this. It was so amazing to see her show up with her own modified suit stark made for her and now because of Tony's sacrfice she is more than strong enough to protect and carry his legend. Stark knew this and even said in his dying breath "the kid" most likely hinting Morgan Stark will carry on his legacy. Everything is beautiful and what you said i agree and is so true, thank you for this comment

[@doodoo5594]

she was the only person that could understand tony completely, because she was the only person who had to experience loving tony despite his desperate drive to put himself in the firing line for the sake of humanity, them getting back together and then him being lost in space after the snap probably just made her except that she probably wouldn’t have him around for much longer so she should just make the most of the time they had, thus, they had morgan

This scene always makes me cry. The fact that IronMan even considered building a gauntlet in his suit makes me love him that much more. He was considering sacrificing himself before anyone else 😭😭😭

[@user-cv1pj2vv1u]

Did he? I haven't seen the full movie without getting interrupted yet. I read somewhere it was just tony's advanced tech that it could adapt to other systems, I guess hack/assimilate controls, so it was actually his armor fusing to the gems since in the movie marvel universe magic is just another form of technology. (Whether that's true in all cases I'm not sure but, I did read mutliple times people talkking as if, for example, asgardian magic was really just asgardian tech. Which tbh I don't think fits with marvel well at all with so many characters like Majik, Strange, Ghost Rider, just to name a few).

[@Frendh]

You sure? Seemed like he just made his suit adapt because it is made of nano machines. Basically he can shape it like clay.

[@Nancy.M.]

I'm sorry - but that is not true. You can clearly see in the movie that his nanotechnology suit is moving the stones & creating the gauntlet while he has his arm raised & giving the "I am Ironman" speech.

I like the fact that Rhody was the first one to find him. They both exchange a slight smirk, and Rhody is proud of his friend, but you can see in his face that he knows Tony is dying. He originally found a near dead Tony Stark on his way to becoming Iron Man, and it ends with him finding a near dead Tony Stark fulling his destiny as Iron Man. Peter and Pepper are both equally heartbreaking seeing their different reactions to Tony dying, but I don't think enough people talk about James. Tony's best friend, who says nothing with words, but conveys everything with a simple gesture and facial expressions.

Today, October 17th, 2023, is the day Tony Stark, the iconic Iron Man actually dies in the Marvel timeline. The first Marvel superhero, Marvel isn't the same without him. #Ironmanforever #RememberingTonyStark💔🌟

[@darknerd8332]

I love that his passing isn't the usual dramatic hero's death. Its quiet, peaceful even. With the only sign that showed that Tony is gone is the simple visualization of his arc reactor's light, his heart, fading away

[@ManyfiresWoman]

I still cry every time I watch this scene. 10 years of my life was invested in watching the different stories of the Avengers. The ending of Iron Man really denotes the ending of our heroes as a whole. And even though they would continue on fighting the good fight individually, it would never be the same without Iron Man. Goodbye Mr. Stark and thank you.

And people say that tony stark was only in it for the fame. No, he fought for peace and justice. And in the end, he completes his mission

[@intorsusvolo7834]

He still got exponentially more fame though from sacrificing his life :9

[@livinglegend9709]

Thats the funny oart tony got no fame fir what he did. He just got more pain

[@Leanne-of6fb]

That’s the last line he said in the movie of 2008 iron man and those would be his last words in the final battle against Thanos.

I love the small details in this, like when the stones fix to Tony's hand, you can see the power from them eating away at his suit as it slowly tried to heal it's self and fight back.

[@gardetto265]

I'm not a big comic book guy but I followed iron man in these films. "and I.... Am iron man" is the quote of the century. He knew he would die, could of died by trying to get the infinity gauntlet from Thanos. No matter how helpless you feel in the world or what's been going on with America and the government repeatedly letting us down, it just takes one man.. One person for a change

[@pacificbanana6179]

Yinsen, Tony Starks buddy in the cave, movie 1, gave his life to get Tony out of the cave. Last thing he told Tony, don’t waste your life. Yinsen thought all he did was save one man. He actually saved the universe.

[@willh1082]

This scene alone is why the mcu will no longer be good past this phase, with a story so good and capped off with a moment like this it seems pointless to try and make anything better

[@OrangeSkies_]

Could definitely do better. But they should’ve waited to start releasing more movies. There should’ve been like a 5year movie break after this and they should’ve only released a few Disney+ shows introducing new characters. Then at the 5year mark start up again with the next event.

[@DagothUr69]

No, it’s because they stopped caring about the story. They just care about virtue signaling. Anything is possible with good writing

[@damon.jamess]

This scene made me cry because this was Peter’s first time actually calling Tony by his first name. He always called him Mr. Stark because all Tony saw of him was a trainee, so he never really saw him as a friend. But now that Tony is gone, Peter doesn’t really have any friends, mostly because he had to make everyone forget who he was in order to stay safe. Rest in Peace Tony, you will and always be remembered as the strongest avenger.

[@JJ3-]

a man with no powers just big brains and still defeats thanos and saved the world

[@colleenross8752]

His intelligence WAS his power

[@Spookssga]

The reason Dr Strange didnt say anything is because he saw the outcome where he did say what happens to Stark and by doing so Thanos won. So by saying nothing they won instead. Basically by saying something and doom everyone, or say nothing and Tony dies and saves everyone in the process.

[@Spookssga]

@fook yu he knew it was either this or doom is all

[@kesavansureshful]

It also explains why he gave the stone up in Infinity War. Tony is the only way Thanos loses

[@user-cv1pj2vv1u]

It's kinda bull. Even if strange checks 500 billion realities that's just a drop in the hat vs. infinity. He had the time stone and he looke for a few seconds by speeding up time. he didn't have to speed up time, he could have stopped time for himself and litterally spent the equivalent of quadrillions of eon's looking, and all we would have seen was a blink on the screen. They had other choices and just didn't explore them. It's a cheap way of trying to lock in this tear jerker ending without people pointing all of the other obvious choices. Boil it down and be real. There were other options, Strange didn't keep looking. It's just the authors plot mechanic to keep people from poking holes in his objectives with how he wanted to martyr stark and get a tear jerker ending for the character he chose to rewrite into one a little better than what it is in the comics.

[@peggycummins4713]

This was the saddest scene of the movie. I now have trauma from this one scene.

It makes me really sad to think that the last thing Tony felt before he died was metal. Everyone that came up to him was wearing his suits. All he felt right before he died was their suits. Must have felt extra cold.

[@hagamapama]

He lived a life of cold metal and called himself Iron Man. Human was his species, cold metal was his identity. It's why he was able to do what he did and be what he was.

[@user-cv1pj2vv1u]

Stark .. I don't even think that he would have gotten that. There was a part of him always seperate from people, either because he pushed them away out of fear or out of feeling superior. He wasn't the most empathic person with the best will power. So think about the fact every cell in his body is now hammered from a huge dose of gamma radiation. Regardless of how smart he was, he was likely hallucinating, consciousness failing. He might have been able to verbally responde a few times but he might not have even been able to realize who he was talking to or what he was saying since every synapse and cell is collapsing and some of them would have had their contents erased and just been empty organic matter. But hey, it's a movie. You only get so much logic. With a top end later model suit like that and the tech he had, he could have just remote fired the gems and lived. It's all just plot fluff.
