this is the single most compelling piece of evidence in my “tony stark does not wear normal clothes anymore” theory. i firmly believe that this man wakes up in the morning and uses nanobots to create his outfit for the day
“tony, why?” says pepper the first time he does this. “it’s cheaper than a tailor” replies tony, admiring the way the nano-fabric hugs his butt. “it definitely isn’t” says pepper, also admiring his butt
this is further supported by how his sunglasses meld into his suit when they’re still in New York. even if you think the idea that he makes all of his clothes out of nanobots is foolish he most certainly did make those sunglasses
so therefore the reason tony’s shirt has disappeared is that he used those nanobots in the fight against thanos, or maybe to help patch up his wound. either way it shows how tony was really digging into the very depths of his available resources (are his underpants gone too? who can say? well, i can say and i say definitely)
in conclusion, tony stark is a dramatic fashion forward extra bitch who makes all his own clothes
What I basically read is that Tony Stark used his underwear to make a blade and tried to stab Thanos with the underwear-blade only to get stabbed with his own underwear-blade.
Don’t assume malice. Assume ignorance. Life is easier, the world is kinder, and you can educate. Actual malice is pretty rare, I find.
Always remember Hanlon’s Razor–”Never assume malice when incompetence will suffice as an explanation.”
That’s said, never forget Fred Clark’s Law, either: “Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.” There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice–at which there is simply no way to become that ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.
