I think you hit on all the reasons Tony Stark hooked me and tied me to his heart so much, after just seeing the Iron Man movies for the first time a bare few weeks ago.
And the thing is? Robert Downey Jr. kills and buries Stark's nature because he practically IS Tony fucking Stark. So it makes for that much better viewing.
I think I love that at the end of the day, you take away h is suit and he's just this broken, vulnerable guy with genius intellect and a penchant for HORRIBLE decision making.
I like that he needs a keeper. And I like that Pepper *is* his keeper for most of the time. I also like that she fought against it for so long too. I gots to have my tension.
Tony is dark and twisty at times bu then he'll have an emotional revelation and his heart will show through.
Yes on the insecurities. Wow. I had no idea how deep those insecurities ran until IMII. But then again, a lot of his partying, immature nature bares that out too.
He's just fun. Fun to play with, fun to meta about.
