generate a girlfriend here and tag this with what kind of girlfriend you got

fuck me that’s the goddamn DREAM
shuri drew this lmao
Shuri not only drew this, she framed it and sent it to Okoye.
i’m rewatching iron man 2 because i unironically love it and:
-“we live in a world of grave threats, threats that tony stark will not always be able to foresee”
-peter is actually introduced right near the beginning just after tony gives his opening speech at the expo and tony says “see you buddy” to him 😭
-tony stark says “yikes” in both iron man and iron man 2 and it makes me laugh so much. i hope this trend continues
-why is vanko just standing and staring at the wall when we first see him? who fucking knows but i love it
-“look it’s me, i’m here, deal with it, let’s move on” is don cheadle’s first line as rhodey
-tony picks up that there’s something off with natasha Right Away. like, IMMEDIATELY. he stares at her for a good 30 seconds then goes right over and asks pepper who she is, and when all pepper tells him is that she’s from legal he makes her his assistant so he can figure. her. out. it’s a really really interesting scene
-elon musk is there
-“anthony is that you” “ah my least favourite person on earth”
-as someone with a disease that’s basically just my body producing too much of something i actually need, “the thing that’s keeping you alive is also killing you” is… A Lot
-just. EVERYTHING. about the suitcase suit up
-whiplash’s electricity damages the iron man suit and then in the next film thor’s lightning charges it up. my boy always learning, always innovating
-tony speaks french for a bit and it is VERY good
-they don’t give vanko any clothes after they arrest him so tony goes to confront him and he’s just. in his pants
-“IF YOU CAN MAKE GOD BLEED THEN PEOPLE WILL CEASE TO BELIEVE IN HIM” wtf? wtf???? the parallels with “all that for a drop of blood” i’m screaming???
-The Three Hour Omlette
-vanko pioneered the manbun and idk how to feel about that
-“contrary to popular belief i know exactly what i’m doing” the very worst parts of tony stark’s Mask™️ is when he tells the absolute truth but without context it sounds like a lie
-rhodey is so good in this film. so soft and moral and strong and funny and i love him
-“i’d do whatever i wanted to do with whoever i wanted to do it with” is so sad cause tony already tried that. he tried to get pepper to go to venice with him (and she quite sensibly said no) so now all that’s left is… the Mask™️
-“can you please not do anything awful for five seconds” is such an underrated line and honestly such a mood
-“i will taze you and watch supernanny while you drool into the carpet” is supposed to be badass and funny but when you say it to a guy with heart problems who could die from being tazed AND who the last time he was incapacitated like that was when obie stole the reactor… it has different connotations
-SHIELD does not finish this film looking good is all i’m saying
-hammer references Rachmaninoff which is like, relevant to only me because i love preludes and preludes is a musical about a depressed genius which i associate super hard with tony stark and please listen to it
-“what is and will always be my greatest creation is you” thanks howard you’re still a dick but at least you gave tony that
-pepper is an actual saint
-“aren’t you iron man?” “sometimes” “we believe in you!”
-tony just. casually makes a new element nbd
-every single one of his lab scenes is so iconic and i love them so much but the whole sequence with the new element with the holograms and then the remodelling and using cap’s shield as a stabiliser. such premier iron man content
-coulson merrily fucks off to go be in thor
-“THAT WAS EASY”
-pepper and nat taking down hammer is so fucking beautiful
-“nice work kid”
-“nice work kid”
-“nice work kid”
-“NICE WORK KID”
-tony and rhodey during the last fight “you have a big gun you are not the big gun”
-theory time: “textbook narcissism” was a test. a test which tony FAILED and then rejected outright. tony stark has a laundry list of mental health issues but narcissistic personality disorder? not one of them. fury knew that AND he knew that the way tony responded to it would showcase pretty neatly where he was at mentally. if he challenged it with something like “actually my therapist says x” fury would know tony was finally taking care of himself and would be ready soonish for the team. if tony agreed then fury would float the consultancy and that would be that. but then tony turns it on its head. “you couldn’t afford me” isn’t a “no” it’s a “i see your manipulations and i’ve had enough of them” and the offering to waive his fee in exchange for a favour is tony saying “but i’ll be there if you really need me because i recognise you do necessary work”. it’s a redefining of their relationship and it’s super interesting
-anyway i love this film thanks
honestly what a fucking iconic response. obviously “hello my name is inigo montoya” is the fucking ultimate but we were all building up this confrontation, this fight, this moment right there alongside inigo who had been doing so for 20 (twenty) fucking years ~and in all that time did he ever think the count would just run away? ha lol no~ but then the count just fucking runs away. and yes it’s a moment of perfect comedic delivery/timing, but it’s also a classic moment of subversion in this movie that is so close to being perfect if not for westley’s shitty moustache (kudos to buttercup for still loving him even after she saw that). this film dances so delicately with fulfilling and subverting tropes and it’s moments like this that just exemplifies that
And in addition to that, the movie is almost identical to the abridged version of the original story. I could literally play the movie in my head while I read it, except they could not include the zoo of horrors. 😥
But regardless, if you want a fun time, please give the book a read. It’s not long and it has some silly notes breaking it up
bold of you to assume i haven’t read the book multiple times and cried every single one
“I shouldn’t be alive, unless it was for a reason. I’m not crazy, Pepper. I just finally know what I have to do. And I know in my heart that it’s right.”
Tony drains his glass. Valkyrie risks a brief look at him and is almost transfixed. For the first time since she’s known him his eyes aren’t empty. They are burning.
“How many futures did the Timekeeper see?” Asks Nebula, scepticism lacing every syllable.
“Fourteen million six hundred and five,” says Tony, the number tripping easily over his tongue as if he’s repeated it a hundred times. He probably has, thinks Valkyrie.
“And we win in one,” says Nebula flatly.
As always when she hears those numbers, the weight of potential possibilities presses heavily on Valkyrie’s heart. Every single decision they make spirals out in front of her, reaching back into the past and far out into the future. Every one of them could tip them off course. Their magnitude is overwhelming. Paralysing.
“Yes,” says Tony. “The only way.”
–
Valkyrie and the Asgardian refugees begin to make a life on Earth.
OR
Val and Tony and Nebula are sad in Wakanda.
Sequel to Flight Of The Commodore, read that first.
