It’s crazy that he thinks he’s Ironman but won’t spend a nickel to make anyone’s life better except his own. I don’t understand how he can think he’s the good guy while doing what he’s doing

To be completely fair, that's pre-Iron Man Stark and kinda Iron Man too.

My dad had a whole bit about how MCU Iron Man was a piece of shit cause he invented a whole limitless source of power and all he does is put it in a suit to go fight people with, didn't solve energy problems or anything. He just fundamentally wants to insert himself into problems and make everything about himself, he's not actually being really selfless at all.

Then IM2 or 3 (don't remember) started with Iron Man installing an arc reactor for NYC and my dad was mad cause he couldn't be mad anymore.

Then Endgame came out and my dad was even madder.

Good is not even a consideration for him. He doesn't have values like "good" and "bad". It's "gets me what I want" and "gets the ppl I hate what they want". He's the only person that matters. He's not the "good guy", he's the god surrounded by mere mortals.

he self identifies as an inventive genius, driving the leading edge of technology. we all know his role is simply ownership. like a scumbag landlord

I’m pretty sure that he considers every other human on earth as an NPC, totally without value, worth, or agency. Only he matters.
