This

Best. Video. Ever.

In a different timeline Obi-Wan Kenobi continued tracing familiar and unfamiliar names and symbols carved into the wooden wall of the bunker until his eyes caught on an all too familiar design.

Facial markings.

Inside he wept as her name came to the forefront of his mind.

"She's alive."

This feels so... powerful

I was going through old home videos I made a few years ago when i was bored and alone.

Okay... Why are you sending me this?

People hating on irondad in 2025... WE ARE SO BACK lol

Twitter bros and sisters who say Tony manipulated Peter into the fight in CW are completely misreading the situation and ignoring the context of their relationship

First of all, Tony did not create Spiderman. When Tony met Peter, Peter was ALREADY out there fighting crime on his own, risking his life with a homemade suit THAT HE CREATED HIMSELF. He didn’t need manipulation to be a hero, he already was one. Tony didnt ruin Peters life at all, Peter was gonna be a hero whether Tony liked it or not, he was stopping carjackers, robbers and helping civilians long before Tony ever approached him. SHIELD or another hero would have eventually discovered Peters abilities and probably treated him worse. Imagine if Fury found Peter first, he would've treated him like a disposable soldier at least Tony gave Peter protection, mentorship and guidance... just because its not the hero you like doesnt mean that wouldnt be the case

them: 'tony was so manipulative! poor kid! making him fight in CW!'

also them: 'Omg spiderman should've been on Cap's side!!''

So are you angry that Peter was there fighting in Berlin or mad because he was on Tony's side? lol

The only reason Tony found him was because Peter was already putting himself in danger. Let's not pretend Tony didnt say 'you need an upgrade, THIS IS WHY I'M HERE FOR' he knew everything about this kid and wanted to help him.

If anything Tony was more protective than manipulative. He brought Peter in but also made sure he stayed on the sidelines during the fight. Peter wasnt tasked with taking down any of the bigger threats, his main job was to contain people. Tony told him to stay back and web people up. Tony thought of team cap as FAMILY back then and those are AVENGERS people who are supposed to protect the earth, he didnt bring Peter to fight in a HYDRA facility. Peter was fully aware that he was fighting THE AVENGERS

Look at what Cap did:

(not my edit)

And look at what he did to Sharon Carter lol PEGGY'S niece

Tony set more boundaries for Peter than any other adult:

Steve dropped a multi-ton jetway onto Peter in CW and then left him there, he didn't need to do that and if you think Steve would've stopped for Peter instead of Bucky, you're severely mistaken. Again, look at what he did to Sharon.

Talos under Furys instructions had SHIELD send a 16 year old to fight gigantic elementals, threats they themselves couldnt handle, rather than calling more experienced heroes. He manipulated Peter into fighting and got mad when the kid CRIED when told he wasnt living up to expectations of people more experienced than him.

Strange teleported Peter onto the battlefield in Endgame forcing him into the fight against Thanos, an experience that was even more traumatic.

May pressured Peter into helping the multiversal villains in NWH, even after he told her it wasnt his responsibility and was beyond his control. Peter BLAMES himself for her death.

Tony is literally the only one who actively tried to limit Peters involvement in dangerous situation, he:

Saved the kid in IW after he got himself involved, sent Peter back and wanted him out of the fight.

After the fight in CW when Peter gets hurt Tony immediately pulls him out and tells him to go home. A truly manipulative person would have disregarded Peters safety but Tony cared.

Stopped him every time he saw things were too much for the kid.

Respected Peters wishes to stay a 'friendly neighborhood spiderman' and let him go.

They're out there fighting tooth and nail the same old ''peter was too young to think for himself and would have sided with Cap' that argument ignores Peters personality, values and agency. The funny part? The same people who complain that MCU Peter lacks agency are the ones stripping it away from him every chance they get. They just don't want to admit peter's own morals align with tony's side, even before Tony entered his life Peter was already operating under his own moral code: 'When you can do the things that I can but you don’t and then the bad things happen... they happen because of you.' That belief system aligns with Tonys stance in CW, heroes need accountability because their actions affect people

If Peter truly believed in Steves cause he wouldnt have joined Tony. Hes said NO to other heroes like Doctor Strange, he basically told Strange NO in all of NWH lol He said NO to Tony in Homecoming when Tony tried to ground him warning him about the Vulture, even after taking the suit. He said NO to joining the Avengers, said NO to Tony in IW. Stop acting like Peter cant say no, this kid defies authority all the time. He said it himself, he was tired of Tony treating him like a kid all the time.

Do you think peter would do what Cap did in CW? Did he do that in NWH? NO. Peter would never have put his personal attachments above doing the right thing. Hes not someone who blindly prioritizes personal loyalty over accountability

Peter with 15 years of living gave up the opportunity to dance with Liz Allan to do the right thing and stop the bad guy, Peter with 17 years of living gave up his entire life and future just to do the right thing in NWH. Meanwhile Steve with centuries of life experience chose to stay in the past and live out his days with Peggy instead of staying in the present to help Bucky heal, support Sam becoming Captain America and continue aiding people after big ass events like the Snap and the Blip. They're not the same.

CONCLUSION!!

Peter is a young hero in a world of adults. This constant theme of adults asking too much of Peter and not recognizing his limitations contributes heavily to the emotional trauma that Peter experiences across the MCU and Tony is actually one of the only people in Peters life who consistently tries to protect his agency and set boundaries for him. The thing that all of these situations have in common is that Peters agency is often stripped away and it paints a picture of a young hero who was constantly thrown into battles without enough consideration for his growth and mental well being and thats a key reason why Peters character arc is so compelling, he is learning not just to be a hero but to navigate the emotional fallout from all the pressure put on him. LEARN how to love other adaptations instead of crying about your fuck ass comic driven desires for the character, THIS IS MCU PETER

You people just follow whatever the most liked tweet says, try thinking for yourself for once

YES

Is this blasphemy? The crisis looks great...

So, we are getting this now, and Donald is kinda... Far from home, so yes, im also going to do that

So... is this a thing now?

An inability to fight back

Also the fact that Webby kinda didn't care about it and was just into the fight

“It was my mother’s blade. The only clue I have to my parentage-”

Foreshadowing?

Serotonin. Thank you

I probably will never finish this, so here is a rough sketch of Sonic and Tails.

Imagine the high guard's AND Dee's reaction to the Sentinel interrogation scene when he towers over Bee, now as BABY Bee? Dee's not the only one's who's gonna stand up to him

With how the high guard is with baby bee… what do you think is their first reaction to meeting the sparkling? While Orion pax, D-16 and elita were knocked out??

Cause like Shockwave said, they didn’t knock out a sparkling and… I was wondering how it all went down with baby bee and the high guard

(hi! … do you want a sunflower? 🌻 or.. a different plant?)

"Is that a-" Shockwave sputters out as Soundwhave nods in both concerned and wonder.

A simple order is given "Don't hurt the sparkling" Didn't even need to be said really. The high guard was a lot of things. Powerful. Scary. Vindictive. Vengeful. Intense. But one thing they also were: protective. Especially of their young. It was part of their duty to protect the future of Cybertron, and that brought a deep sense of care towards sparklings.

They had been cut off from that part of the job for much too long.

The other bots came down easily. Out in a flash. The pink one went down first- they saw as the silver mech react quickly and wrap himself around the sparkling to protect him. Honnorable, but useless.

Sending a sparkling to find them was a sin and fuelled their anger towards Sentinel further than they even believed possible.

"Dee! Wake up!" They heard the small one cry as he wormed his way out of his presumed caretaker's hold to shake his shoulders "Dee! Orion! Elita! Please wake up-" Each plea is like a tear directly into their sparks.

Sorry little one.

They land, quickly. They're surprised to find no fear in the sparkling as they approach- But determination. He puts himself in between his caretakers and them. Ready to fight if needed- and then theres recognition and that hits them even harder.

"You're- You're the Cybertronian High Guard!"

The yellow sparkling gawks at them- then looks at his fallen friends. Conflicted that his apparent heroes just knocked out his best friends.

He doesn't need a lot of reassurance other than 'we won't hurt them' and the sparkling is- well he's adorable and the high guard can't get enough of him. He keeps talking and talking and talking- and asking them for stories and-

They all draw straws to know who gets to hold the sparkling next- but Soundwhave has first pick since he must absolutely give the sparkling a medical check- he doesn't like how malneurished he is but tankfuly he always had energon threats on him.

Still they all get a turn at dotting on him and it feels right. They are warriors but they're also protectors- carers. It's good to be with the very reason you fight for- they also try to get information from the sparkling but... well he doesn't seem to know anything...

The queu is out of the window the moment Starscream sees the sparkling and hogs the baby- of course he does... selfish.

The fun has to end eventually and they try to make B-127 understand they need to look scary and intimidating to interogate his... companions (possible kidnappers- seeing as none of them were his caretaker)

"B-127, you must keep quiet." Starscream can see the kid really does try his best but he can't be quiet for more than a few seconds- endearing but a bit of an obstacle at the moment.

"We can tape his mouth." say Shockwhave... yeah they're not going to do that... weirdo...

"Solution: treat" Soundwhave picks Bee from Starscream and gives him a treat. "Can't talk if his mouth is full." and the kid needs the energon anyway.
