U, U, U give me just the love that I need

1. He never gives up

   Tony has been through so much shit and yet he refuses to lay down his armor. He was stabbed in the back by someone he trusted, spent months in a cave, being tortured and watch the only person there to help him, and yet he kept going. Tony doesn’t give up, even if he wants to, even when his friends don’t stay, he won’t stop. To give up isn’t in his DNA, it wasn’t how he was built. He, single-handedly, fought the strongest creature in any Universe, and refused to stop, he kept on going even without his armor until he was stabbed. 

2. He evolves

One of the things I love the most about Tony is how he owns up for his mistakes. He knows when he fucked up, and most of the time he takes the blame for things that he didn’t even cause. He has a strong sense of responsibility, of making sure everyone is safe and happy. He took the blame for Ultron when that was Wanda’s doing, he feels responsible for things that have nothing to do with him. He thinks Killian was the villain of his making  - like some here seem to think - and yet he forgets that Killian didn’t have to do all those things because he was ignored. The man chose to do so, and this is one of the main points we should get: people are free to make their own choices, he decided that he’d go all psycho, that’s on him. But Tony learns from his mistakes, and he had such a great evolution in IW. He admits he’s scared to death of Thanos, that he’s scared of all the people around him that might die. For someone like him, that’s a huge step in the right direction.

3. He was ready to die

Tony was waiting for that moment his entire life. He was ready to die, you could see the resolution in his eyes. He’d do anything to keep the Time Stone out of Thanos’s hands and was coming to terms with his fate. When Stephen gave up the stone for him, even when he claimed before that he never would, you could see the desperation in Tony’s eyes. He couldn’t understand - really - why he Strange would do that. He was left wondering why he was worth saving. Not only that, but I can bet my sweet, amazing bed that he wonders why someone like him was is saved, and Peter wasn’t? He knew, as soon as Peter disappeared, that the fate of the Universe was sacrificed because of him, and has no idea as to why. 

4. He can see a future for himself

They make a dent.  They get one drop of blood out of him. And then he wipes the floor with them like it’s nothing.  Just shakes all of that off like it’s NOTHING. You really get the sense that this is impossible, that Thanos is just a rolling TIDAL WAVE OF DOOM rolling over them all. Nothing can stop him.  He has four Infinity Stones now, he’s more than halfway there, this is impossible. Then he has the Time Stone.  Then he has the Mind Stone.  He’s complete, he’s fully Infinity Stone’d the fuck up. They are all completely fucked. AND THEN. THOR ODINSON, GOD OF THUNDER, KING OF ASGARD:  HOLD MY FUCKIN’ BEER.
