Ever wonder what Howard would think at a certain point in the movies? So this story is dedicated to different moments in Tony's life, and how his parents would react. Granted they are watching from the afterlife.Warning. This story does contain spoilers for Endgame. However, it will only be around the e.
WARNING: If you couldn’t tell by the headline, this post contains huge, massive, potentially life ruining spoilers for Avengers Endgame. Don’t keep reading unless you want to know how Tony Stark’s character arc ties up.
In hindsight, there seems to have been no other way for Tony Stark’s story to end. With all 21 of the previous MCU films in mind, it feels like it was all leading up the final moment where Iron Man snapped his fingers and saved the universe, but in the process forfeited his own life. While Endgame wrapped up a few characterarcs, Tony Stark and Iron Man’s was the only one that was pitch perfect.
There’s no doubt that Iron Man was the corner stone of the MCU and that, without the success of the first film, the subsequent franchise offerings wouldn’t have happened. Endgame honors that by giving Tony Stark the most fitting of send offs. Not only does Tony redeem himself for the Ultron tragedy, but he’s also secured his own legacy into something more positive than just being known for a high body count.

While some characters were short shrifted, Endgame had plenty of satisfying moments for Tony Stark and offered closure on some lingering storylines. Primarily, Tony found the family he always wanted with Pepper, reached a mutual level of trust and admiration with Steve Rogers, and, in a twist, made amends with his father, Howard Stark.
Endgame picks up right where Infinity War left off, and Tony doesn’t spend much time stranded in space. As he returns to Earth, he and Steve have an emotional reunion outside Avengers HQ. The reunion quickly turns into animosity again though, as Tony refuses to forgive Steve for bailing on the Avengers after Civil War. Despondent, Tony abandons the team, reunites with Pepper and they have a daughter, Morgan. There are some lovely scenes of Tony Stark as a father, enjoying domestic life, that make his eventual decision to help the team try to defeat Thanos again all the more heart-wrenching.
One of the main motivators of his decision is that he still hasn’t gotten over the guilt of having Peter Parker vanish in his arms. He knows he can’t be happy if there’s a chance to bring him back. So, he sucks up his pride, figures out a solution and (finally) reaches an understanding with Steve.
While Age of Ultron has been among the more poorly received Marvel films, it plays a large role in Endgame. It would be tempting to think of Tony’s death as tragic, and it is in many ways, but for Tony, it’s a better end than what he imagined in the vision Wanda induced in Ultron. As he told Nick Fury at the time, the real tragedy wasn’t that he died, but that he had lived while his friends had all perished. Thanos has, in affect, been inside Tony’s head since the events of the first Avengers movie, making this final standoff all the more compelling.
Tony’s sacrifice is also a call back to a key scene in the first Avengers film, that shows how much the character has changed and evolved. As he and Captain America bicker, Cap undercuts him by saying that Tony isn’t the kind of guy to lay down on the wire, to let the other guy crawl over him. Of course, he proves that’s not true by carrying a missile through a worm hole, but in Endgame the sacrifice is permanent.
His last words are also a reminder of a pivotal moment in the first Iron Man film, when instead of denying who he is to the public, he simply states, “I am Iron Man.” Those are the same words he utters after Thanos remarks, “I am inevitable.”
The strain of holding all six Infinity Stones and snapping his fingers is too much for Tony though, and he dies surrounded by his friends. It’s the exact inverse of his vision in Ultron. The final funeral scene also features a call back to the first Iron Man film, as Pepper sets the first arc reactor Tony ever had adrift on the river over a bed of flowers.

While it seems clear that Tony really is dead, that doesn’t mean he won’t show up in subsequent MCU films.
While Chris Evans, who plays Captain America, has been vocal about hanging up the shield for good, Robert Downey Jr., hasn’t yet addressed whether or not he’ll be back to play Tony Stark. Endgame does leave the door open for him to reappear in many creative ways. First, there’s the fact that he seems to have recorded many messages for Pepper and his daughter Morgan for them to play back at appropriate times. Plus, considering how adept Tony is at creating artificial intelligence, there’s room to speculate that he creates an AI of himself to be Peter’s guide in the Spider-Man suit.
Plus, the MCU has now introduced time-travel as just a thing anyone can do, so a visit to the past to check in on a younger Tony Stark isn’t out of the question.
While Endgame botched a couple of key endings, Tony Stark’s was an elegy to the power of redemption.
This year, the unexpected news broke that Marvel Studios' Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman had died at the age of 43 due to colon cancer. Boseman played King T'Challa, the hero known as the Black Panther and the ruler of the technologically-advanced African kingdom of Wakanda, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. When the film opened in 2018, Black Panther instantly became a superhero icon for Black fans. Something similar happened when Miles Morales made his cinematic debut as Spider-man in the animated feature film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Miles is making the jump to video games in the new PlayStation game from Insomniac Games, Spider-Man: Miles Morales. The developer used the opportunity to pay tribute to Boseman with a tribute screen that shows up after the credits roll at the end of the game's main story. The tribute card reads:
'In love memory of a noble kind, Chadwick Boseman. His honor, strength, and compassion will reverberate for generations to come. Wakanda forever.'
In September, Marvel Comics included a tribute to Boseman written by Ta-Nehisi Coates, the author, journalist, and MacArthur Genius Grant recipient who currently writes Marvel's Black Panther and Captain America comic in each of its published titles. His tribute read:
'In the Black Panther mythos, T'Challa often retreats to his City of the Dead, where all the previous kings and queens of Wakanda have been buried. There, T'Challa finds wisdom and counsel from his ancestors who have gone before. It was in such a city, almost 25 years ago, that I met Chadwick 'Chad' Boseman. Our City of the Dead was Howard University, a place where we felt our ancestors — Kwame Ture, Donny Hathaway, Zora Neale Hurston — walked with us. The word 'ancestor' is key here. It was not simply that Howard had produced 'notable' or 'accomplished' alumni; it was that it had produced warriors, men and women who'd spent their lives employing their chosen weaponry in the very same war that both Chad and myself, by virtue of color, felt ourselves drafted into. Like T'Challa in his own City of the Dead, we were so inculcated with their spirit that we felt we had a responsibility to do much the same. So it would not have been enough for Chad to become a leading man in Hollywood. His art would have to somehow advance the ancestral war for justice.
'Not that Chad needed much urging. I met him leading a protest with my friend Kamilah Forbes to preserve the dignity of Howard's fine arts college. What I am saying is that before I knew Chad the artist, I knew Chad the warrior. And he was regal even then. There was something almost otherworldly about Chad — I would listen to him talk and only catch about 60 percent of what he was actually saying. It took time to realize that this was because Chad was always a few steps ahead of everyone.

'I got to watch him through the years — advancing out of student theater, on to TV and film, and then finally cast as T'Challa. He was perfect. He had T'Challa's royal spirit, the sense that he did not represent merely himself, but a nation. And this is how I am understanding his death. It is personally sad to lose him at such a young age. But for those of us who so needed him right now, in these dark times, those of us who went to war with him, the loss is unthinkable. We simply cannot afford to be without Chad. My recourse is inadequate, but it's all I have to make meaning of this tragedy. It is the idea of ancestry. It is the notion that when someone like Chad wields their weapons as fiercely as he once did, they are remembered. It is the idea that Chad's wisdom and power are still with us in ancestral form. It is the thought that just as Chad once walked into the City of the Dead and harnessed the energy of those who'd gone before him, so he too may be harnessed, by all those warriors to come.'
