It says a lot about Stony that Tony looked the most openly vulnerable and lost during Civil War. He experienced so much pain during his solo movies but he still kinda rolled with it and kept up a mask to everyone except on few occasions with Rhodey and Pepper but in CW you can very clearly see all the painc so clearly on his face. Every scene he shared with Cal he looked the most unmasked and distraught we've seen him. He was just so RAW throughout the entire movie
oh my god, friend, i KNOW. the scene at the JCTC in particular just [shakes clenched fist at the sky]. tony tried a lotĀ to reason with steve throughout the whole movie, but this fucking sceneā¦
heād already tried being his usual difficult self; heād tried being Professional Team Leaderā¢ļø, tried telling steve people were demandingĀ āconsequencesā for his actions, but this. this! this was him trying something that weād never seen tony do (at least not that i can remember). he brought out the big guns for this one.Ā āhey, wanna see something cool?ā like. jesus h christ, this is tony stark blatantly putting himself out there, trying to connect with steve.Ā āi pulled something from dadās archives.ā i donāt think i have to explain why howard is a sensitive subject for tony, but he STILL went through howardās stuff, searching for something that would help bridge the divide between him and steve.Ā
tonyās not wearing any of his masks here. heās not making any jokes; heās not trying to be the smartest person in the room. this is raw honesty. heās not doing all this to be difficult, there is a reason. tony believes with everything in his bones that this has to be done and heās trying to make steve see it from his side.
let me put it this way: tony didnāt look this heartbroken even when obie ā someone heād believed was a friend during his whole life ā literally ripped his heart out of his chest. pissed off tony? sure, weāve seen that a lot, but heartbroken tony? not that often. from the way tony looked at that pen youād think steve had just given back an engagement ring or something.
and the final blow is tony literally putting his walls back up and swallowing his feelings of betrayal and disappointment.
