#did u kno that in the IM1 novelization#tony bonds with one of the humvee soldiers (jimmy)#because jimmy was wearing a mets wristwatch#and tony felt a New Yorker connection with him even though he’s personally a yankees fan#did u kno that one of the insurgents picks up jimmy’s watch and starts wearing it#and tony says Nothing when he sees it for the first time in the cave#but that is stated to be the first moment in his life when he experienced real hate#to the point of wanting to strangle a man with his bare hands#‘feel his life ebbing between his fingers’#did u kno that when he escapes tony wished he could pick up the watch from the guy’s arm#but the suit didn’t give him that much mobility so all he could do#was crush the guy’s wrist along with the watch beneath his boot#‘woefully inadequate’ justice in his opinion but it would have to do#did u kno that in one of the deleted IM1 scenes#tony finds a gift from obadiah stane and it’s a watch with the note#‘thank god it wasn’t your time’#irony or all terrible ironies#please consider that when thinking about the im3 dora watch#and how important it was for tony to bring it back to harley 🙂#tony stark#you are welcome friends#mcu  (via @knightinironarmor)

The film presents an interesting deconstruction of the idea of Iron Man. Tony spends a lot of the film not wearing the suits.He builds the suits to operate without him inside, which in turn lessens his own dependency on the suits. Many of his defining sequences show him relying on his own wits – not the suits – to endure. Tony is special not because of his suits, but because he builds and creates. It’s a reminder of who he is: the man who built his future in a cave with a box of scraps. 

Even when he summons his fleet of suits, it doesn’t really matter which one he’s in. All are extensions of him, manifested aspects of his personality that extend his innate ability. Iron Man’s superpowers are not the abilities of his suits but his intelligence, awareness, and creatively constructive tendencies.  In the final statement of the film, Tony speaks as if answering the question Captain America demanded of him in The Avengers. “Big man in a suit of armor. Take that away, and what are you?”

 I am Iron Man.
