Hickmanvengers finale

I do think we need a discussion post.

I need some time to process, but I'm gonna comment later. With spoilers, obviously, I think we can just say that now and skip cuts in comments?

I agree about inverted!Tony. I am very very confused by what is happening in Avengers just because of that. I mean, Rhodey saying that the Tony they are around is not worth being saved- woah. Okay. But what did he mean? Did he mean Tony post-Civil War in general? Did he mean inverted!Tony? Do they realize he is inverted and they have just given up trying to save him... because... reasons? It felt so un-marvel to me. I am used to characters doing everything they ca to save people and then there's inverted!Tony.

I'd still prefer this plot instead of non inverted!Tony because that Tony felt and was vicious and I would hard a really hard time reconciliating it with the Tony Stark I've known for the past years.

I think the best solution for me would be if Tony was still inverted, but everyone else thought for some reason that he'd been uninverted. Which... sounds like a fix-it plot bunny that I don't have time to write, nooooo.

Well, maybe someone else will :3 I do love all the fix-it fics that this storyline has inspired, heh.

Uh, I don't want that. The only way I can think to excuse his friends is if they believe he's inverted.

For me, the problem I can't get around is if they think he's inverted, why don't they try to fix him like they did the others?

Meanwhile, if they think he's uninverted, but are thinking that some of the things he did while inverted he did while uninverted, then they are thinking that he's jumped past the line he's always drawn, and therefore feeling really betrayed.
