I just read a post (by Minnow, for those of you who know who she is) that mentioned how Tony always outsourced his restraint. He had people to say "Tony, no", and with this, he was trying to outsource it to the Accords.

I had conversations along that line before the movie!
I am basically only discussing it here. MCU fandom is so fraught right now

Tony loses Jarvis in Ultron (still not forgiving that), he loses Pepper here, and nearly Rhodey. The man's not in a happy place in terms of support.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
The man's not in a happy place in terms of support.
Oh, he's definitely not. He has PTSD from Manhattan and he has a lifetime of issues from even before he ever ended up in that cave in Afghanistan. He needs intensive puppy therapy.
I'm not anti-Tony, but I am anti-Tony's choices.
I can't stress enough how much I loved the scene where Tony recruited Peter. It got me so hard in all the feels. His entire demeanor with this kid, this insanely brilliant orphan who is JUST LIKE HIM, was a thing of beauty.
Most of me really wants to believe that Steve actually addressed the letter to "Tony Stank."

Meanwhile, on meme, anyone saying anything critical about Tony is being told they are clearly just an awful Stucky shipper. Sigh. The MCU fights there: worse than ever. I just wanted to find more Natasha discussion!

Plei, I would totally buy Tony pretending to speak for all the Avengers in negotiating the Accords. But they needed to show that. Also, Natasha would have known, or she's nowhere near the spy she is sold as.
I also thought the fight scene at the beginning was very shaky-cam-ey. I had to close my eyes several times there.

I could maybe watch Steve kicking a truck to hit a guy like a full day on loop. just sayin.

The post-credit scene was a thing of beauty. "Who hit you!" "His name's Steve. And he had a really big friend. He's from Brooklyn."
Tony being all protective of Peter in the fight was sweet.
But now I'm wondering where the hell that book is.
