scene a lot, because holy wow. The MCU movies have definitely been getting a little darker since the Avengers, but scenes like this? This is pure optimism. Tony is told he can save 4 out of 13, and then he saves all 13 of them anyway, because these people can work together and help Tony save them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If a similar scenario had happened in the Dark Knight Saga or Man of Steel, you know damn well 9 out of those 13 people would have been dead. Hell, Bruce or Clark would have been lucky to even save the 4, because DC movies have gone down a route of unrelenting grtty realism that makes good old super heroics virtually impossible. Bruce can\u2019t save the city without faking his own death; Clark can\u2019t save the world without becoming a murderer.<\/p>\n<p>But even in the darkest hours of the Marvel Universe, Tony Stark can damn well save 13 people plummeting to their certain death. Is it realistic? Hell no. But it was an awesome victory that both Tony and the audience needed at this point in the story, and by god it was heroic.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>kittenskysong\u2019s tags: <a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/and-he-didn%27t-have-to-decide-between-them-and-pepper\">#and he didn\u2019t have to decide between them and pepper<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/he-was-able-to-rescue-them-w%2F-the-suit-while-he-saved-pepper\">#he was able to rescue them w\/ the suit while he saved pepper<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/you-know-how-many-movies-would-have-had-him-sacrifice-pepper-for-them%3F\">#you know how many movies would have had him sacrifice pepper for them?<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/or-the-other-way-around\">#or the other way around<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/and-the-only-way-he-is-able-to-save-all-of-them\">#and the only way he is able to save all of them<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/is-because-they-work-together-to-save-each-other\">#is because they work together to save each other<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/i-don%27t-care-if-it%27s-realistic\">#i don\u2019t care if it\u2019s realistic<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/this-is-a-movie-about-a-man-that-flies-around-inside-a-robot\">#this is a movie about a man that flies around inside a robot<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/in-a-universe-where-Thor-exists\">#in a universe where Thor exists<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/i-don%27t-want-your-realism-if-its-all-just-grimdarkness\">#i don\u2019t want your realism if its all just grimdarkness<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/you-know-what-is-realistic-about-marvel%3F\">#you know what is realistic about marvel?<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/tony%27s-anxiety-%26-ptsd\">#tony\u2019s anxiety &amp; ptsd<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/steve%27s-ptsd-and-loneliness\">#steve\u2019s ptsd and loneliness<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/bruce%27s-guilt-and-anger\">#bruce\u2019s guilt and anger<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/thor%27s-fall-from-grace-and-strained-relationship-w%2F-loki\">#thor\u2019s fall from grace and strained relationship w\/ loki<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/Clint%27s-loss-of-control\">#Clint\u2019s loss of control<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/and-natasha%27s-fear-and-her-search-for-self\">#and natasha\u2019s fear and her search for self<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/we-can-relate-to-these-things\">#we can relate to these things<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/and-yet-they-are-still-heroes\">#and yet they are still heroes<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/they-struggle-like-real-people\">#they struggle like real people<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/but-they-never-succumb-and-they-fight-on-and-they-win\">#but they never succumb and they fight on and they win<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/and-the-right-choice-isn%27t-to-do-the-dark-things\">#and the right choice isn\u2019t to do the dark things<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/but-to-root-them-out-and-pull-them-into-the-light\">#but to root them out and pull them into the light<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/to-make-the-good-choice-even-when-it%27s-the-hardest\">#to make the good choice even when it\u2019s the hardest<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/i-don%27t-know-i-just-got-into-a-huge-ramble\">#i don\u2019t know i just got into a huge ramble<\/a><a class=\"post_tag\" href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/tagged\/but-give-me-marvel-superheroes-any-day\">#but give me marvel superheroes any day<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Reblogging for those tags.
