i get that there are people who don’t dive deeper into irondad and spiderson like some fans do, but to think that peter and tony didn’t build a familial bond genuinely feels like being blind. u hear a rando bulshitting abt how “people are crazy to think that tony cared about peter” while talking abt the man who saved the universe all because of peter and not for anyone else. that man’s life may seem complete to the other characters because he had his wife, his daughter, and best friends who were fortunately not blipped—but to him, it wasn’t complete without peter and he proceeded to override the laws of physics just for that boy “he didn’t care about”
and i won’t even jump to the fact that there is literally a whole movie of peter dealing with his grief over tony’s death, how heavily tony impacted his growth and his decisions. y’all still be acting so blind 9 years later
the universe would not have been saved if tony and peter only had a “professional,” superficial relationship. they were family, and they felt it so deeply that half of the universe was brought back to life
