Pretty sure Tony was one of the main villains of the MCU as a whole tbh.

Edit: Lol same time.

How

Tony's self righteous decision making caused ultron, civil war, added numerous villains to the mcu (including all of his own rogues, mysterio, maybe more), and single handedly led to the events of infinite war, in which the worlds defences were not prepared for thanos's invasion thanks to tony's actions.

Hell, arguably you can also say that he actually ruined a pretty positive thing. The world post snap was actually recovering in a lot of ways. Tony influenced changes that would inevitably lead to the continuation of the malthus issue.

Staying out of this because I’m tired from being woken up by a toddler trying to carry a cat, but the full incongruity just struck me of calling Tony a patriot when contrasted with Captain America.

And before anyone replies to that to say that Steve turned his back on the flag or whatever, you may be confusing nationalism with patriotism.

Buck was brainwashed. Therefore, in my opinion, his mind cannot hold any responsibility for his actions.

His body killed Tony’s parents, but his mind did not.

Therefore, he is not guilty of this crime.

I also think it was very out of character for Steve not to tell Tony

Its not that out of character. Steve said he never knew for sure. To tell something like that out of speculation would just cause undue hardship.

"Hey i have no actual evidence, but just my thoughts: i think my best friend killed your family"

That is just setting up uneccessary grief.

Ok, ONE reply - it’s very optimistic to say that without the population restored the ecosystem would recover from humanity. Within a handful of generations population levels would be right back where it is now, human behaviour would more than likely go unchanged and we’d be right back where we were.

Sure, but it did clear the stage to make a more sustainable future

Thanos was most definitely in the wrong on that one. He was lucky most species didn't blow themselves up and go extinct.

Not to mention 50 or so years later he'd be right back where he started.
