starkly-tony:

I am super psyched for Steve in Infinity War and here is why. Obviously he looks like things have not been going so well for him since the Accords. Which makes this the first time that Steve has made a call he thought was best and seen it blow up in his face. Up until now just about all of his decisions–even the risky ones, the ones that broke the rules–have paid off both in the other characters’ eyes and in the narrative more broadly. (Obviously not without a personal cost to him at times, but none that makes him any less a hero.)

Then we have Tony, whose well-intentioned decisions blow up in his face so often he’s villainized by the other characters, the narrative (and as we all know, by at least some of the fans).

So as a Steve fan I’m excited to see him in a new position where he has to question himself (I love angst and character development, sue me). As a TONY fan, I’m excited to see their narrative roles switched for once. Where Steve is the one suffering the consequences of his decision and Tony is the one whose choices are validated by other characters and the narrative. I think it will be a nice change of pace for Tony but also an opportunity for Steve to come to understand him better. To really GET in a way he couldn’t before that sometimes you do what you think is right and it all goes wrong. And maybe with that will come the chance for them to really start rebuilding their friendship. I can’t wait!
