Right! See, me being new to the whole comic fandom... Well, the thing is I'm not used to ignoring canon... So when canon goes in directions I don't agree with I either drift off or my brain goes into crazy overdrive trying to justify/ understand/ map-out the whole thing in-universe... which is what has happened here... -_-;
I totally agree with what you said, but that's like the *meta* reasoning behind it... Those are reasons we can see and extrapolate etc etc... What I was trying to do here (apart from trying to get this off my damn mind <.<) was trying to find a way to explain Tony's behaviour in-universe. Yes, brain delete may have been the easiest way out for the writer (cheapskate! :d) but why did Tony do it? (Since he's not Deadpool that excuse won't work here ;)
I'm definitely not saying that Fraction intended this reading for sure... He *may* have, but frankly I think that's giving him too much credit... This is me saying, hey this looks like a charcter-consistent thought pattern which might explain the recent clusterfuck!
Motto on the MU people... I think I read a very apt word for them somewhere on the net... 'Sheeple' as in mindlessly following whatever the latest tabloid screams out... @_@
Oh, he was definitely letting his friends pass judgement... It's just that at the time he made the recording, I think his actions (visiting Henry, letting the company die, the conversation with Rhodey and Pepper, the 'thing' with Maria) point to the fact that not only did he completely expect to die, he also sort of actually wanted to do that... As in he would live if his friends decided that, he would prefer to die... (though I think he genuinely believed they'd rather let him die at that point of time... because the whole world had been telling him how he was *the worst* villain... People were running to Kingpin rather than listen to him, *Doom* told him that his friends now hated Tony more than they hated him! D:)
[Though my brain has tried and tried and given up trying to explain the recent Pepper AND the Pepperony... ;_; All I can say is maybe, hopefully it was evil!JARVIS affecting both their brain patterns... If Pepper is the mom in the upcoming IM#500, I think I will actually cry...]
