How Endgame Delivered on Irondad (more than it didn’t)
One thing someone pointed out to me was about how Tony Stark invented time travel.
To me, it looked like Cap, Nat, and Scott walked up, Tony shooed them away, then he saw that picture of Peter and decided to give it a shot, odds be damned.
What they corrected me on was that the night we see in Endgame (the one where Tony invents it) is, in fact, the night he FINISHED. In that this particular model that Tony ran was started that night, simulated that night, and worked that night - after an unspecified amount of time in those five years where he’d been trying and trying and trying.
Tony wasn’t tossing out reasons for why time travel was a dumb plan based on academic research and theory. He’d BEEN trying. Bruce’s baby-Scott mistakes were the rookie, early ones that Tony was so far beyond screwing up on at that point. He’d exhausted every idea he could think of before Cap and his crew came by. The smartest (surviving) man on Earth, and the guy who’d cross off every single stupid option just in case they missed something obvious (e.g., “Why don’t we just throw the Time Stone down the garbage disposal?”), had not only already thought of something as insane as ‘time travel’, but didn’t rule it out until he was actually incapable of doing it.
Then we have Morgan. New life. This is so, so important for his relationship with Peter and whole Irondad fandom: what Tony had with Peter was an assumed and close relationship that went kind of unspoken because “Tony Stark should never be a dad” and “Peter Parker doesn’t need a third one”. Or whatever your particular trope is - I love 'em all, but there was always that little something that kept them from being full-on, on-screen, publically Irondad and Spider-son. And now Peter is dead. And Tony can’t change that. And then - in the midst of the entire universe’s grief - there’s a new life: Morgan.
Morgan is Tony’s blood relation and a burst of tangible hope - his 'second chance,’ he says to Cap (of what, Tony? Oooooh subtle Irondad) - in the waking knowledge that he failed and he’s never going to fix it.
Morgan is Tony’s cue to assume that he has to move on. No more playing with time travel theories that he can’t make work anyway, and even if he could (but he can’t), it’d be to go back and get the kid he loves but isn’t technically his 'real’ son. And get this - he KNOWS that because now he has a 'real’ daughter, and to erase a blood relation 'just’ to save an unspoken one? That’s insane. He can’t logically prioritize this any differently, and his reaction to Cap suggesting time travel shows us that Tony’s assuming the only way (at that point) to get Peter back is to lose Morgan. It’s why he essentially says, “Yes, what happened is very sad, but this is my life now and I’m going to make the best of it. It’s time to stop living in the past.” It’s also why Tony’s so insistent on Bruce’s snap bringing every back to now, instead of bringing the survivors back to then and erasing his daughter: because the other option is TO erase his biological daughter to save his unbiologicial son that he’s only known for two years.
So just think of all those nights before Endgame, where Tony tried and it never worked. And then think of how much less he tried when he had Morgan. Think of how many times he told himself to stop trying, to give it up already, to realize that it would never work, and to think of how immoral and psychotic it’d be to continue trying to trade one kid for a fake one. Imagine him finally putting those plans away for last time and turning off the lights, not bothering to say his goodbyes to Peter’s memory 'cause who says goodbye to a ghost that he’s failed to save now twice? (And not only that, but the ghost of a kid who seems to have hit all the same Dad-mode buttons that Morgan does, proving that shit beyond a doubt.)
When Cap comes back and Tony thinks on it and Tony sees that picture of him and Peter, it isn’t some dramatic and spontaneous epiphany that he can invent time travel. It’s that he can save Peter AND keep Morgan. That’s what changes: it’s what gets him to go from, “I have my second chance,” to “Just make sure you bring everybody back to THIS year.” He finally has permission to go back to trying, and that renewed commitment is what gets the job done.
So now take all of this - all those messy, lost years of grief and failure and painful hope and hurt and hope and hurt - and tack it onto the ending:
Tony gets Peter back. It’s a great, super Irondad moment. Tony has just done the impossible: keep his daughter, save his son. And you all saw that reunion (lmao spoilers), and you know he’s an official Dad now with five years to have mulled over how much he lost when he lost his first kid, which was the second thing out of his mouth when he got back to Earth after being rescued. Everyone’s going to be fine, and as soon as they kill Thanos, Tony gets to have the perfectly complete family he’s always dreamed of.
And THAT’S why it’s a sacrifice, not a cheap death.
Tony, a Dad who’s missed his son enough to invent time travel, and who knows how much he loves his daughter to virtually let half the universe stay dead for her, allows himself to die in order to save everyone.
I went at this thinking they’d killed Tony off, like they somehow forgot there’s this whole thing with Peter to get back to. But it really is the massive sacrifice they said it was. All those armies were going to wipe out the Avengers et al., then kill everyone all over again. Tony had the opportunity and no one else would’ve gotten another one, so - and this is key - in FULL KNOWLEDGE of what he was about to lose, he traded his life for his kids. And I am still psycho-pissed, but that’s something I want to explore from Peter’s POV now, because Tony went into that conscious choice at peace with it. He wasn’t going to let his kids die, and that’s the Irondaddest mood we could’ve asked for in this movie.
WITH THAT SAID, and like I said, this is something to explore from Peter’s POV. Tony knows how huge this sacrifice was, but I want to experience Peter feeling absolutely cheated by this. He just got back, turns out his will-they-or-won’t-they-adopt-me Father-Figure moved on to have a 'real’ kid, and now Tony’s dead. I want to watch him learn how much of a sacrifice Tony made to save Peter - twice. I want him to find, like, taped trials and simulation notes across years of Tony trying to bring Peter back. I want to find a message that Tony made for Peter a while ago, because not only was Peter not mentioned in Tony’s funeral-vid as if he didn’t actually expect that time travel to work in a way that brought Peter back but killed Tony, but there’s got to have been some sad I Miss You movies like he made for Pepper up in space.
I am so gutted by Tony’s death, but so much less so about it being a middle finger to Irondad. It’s FULL Irondad from Tony’s POV. But I need some goddamn deleted scenes of the on-screen grief and some long-term mourning from Peter so I can really feel like the story had an ending and not an abrupt cancellation.
Anyway. Let’s all recover from this together before FFH.
tony: i am iron man *snaps*
theater: YES YES YES
pepper: you can rest now
theater: wait what no
Can we just talk about the hug? Y'all know which I’m talking about. And I mean, we probably won’t be able to talk, at leat not me, I’m already sobbing again again again again. But that’s why we have tumblr I guess.
That hug was the best thing ever
Peter rambling on about what happened, because he was gone for five seconds and ao much happened during those five seconds.
Tony crying his heart out internally, u could see it in rdj’s amazing performance, so relieved that he got his kid back.
And Peter finally got that hug but so did Tony and I think he needed it the most.
So yeah, don’t think about how heartbreaking it was for Peter to lose Tony, just like when Tony lost Peter. Think about how heartbreaking it would have been if he had lost him without getting that beautiful hug.
Yeah, sobbing too much now, bye
i really didn’t expect to get so attached to a fictional character so much but apparently tony stark happened and its embarrassing and scary as to how much of an impact he left on me and the extent to which his fate at the end of endgame affected me……..like…………there’s crying over fictional characters and then there’s literally crying over fictional characters

The thing on the back of the armor in the first pic? The site refers to it as a “Nano Lightning Refocuser”. I wonder what that speaks to its function, and how that’ll play out in Endgame’s battles/boss fight. I keep thinking back to the first Avengers movie, when the suit took Thor’s lightning blast and threw back a beam 400% stronger. Can the Mark 85 handle Thor’s powers now, and what would it throw back?? Stormbringer’s power was formidable against Thanos in Infinity War...
mark 85 raw me challenge
He’s gotta blue eye. He’s half 616!Tony now!
