Why read into it?
ijustimguredtosay
I figured it was a surrender/acceptance rather than fighting it.
pzummo
I mean, Hulk did hide like a little bitch after Thanos kicked his ass. So this stuff actually stacks up well.
IhaveAdogAndAnxiety
Pain physics never made sense in MCU. Tony got thrown through a skyscraper window without a suit and didn't break any bones.
allenvasher3000
Bruce implied it was so bad because he tried to bring back "Nat"
yakiudon
narrative. fantasy. whimsy. contrivance. distraction from ennui, sublimation of desire. FICTION
motherofmegusta
Still sucking on his dick? Bitch please that whole movie could have been Iron man 4.. Disappointing
fishballs
I just assumed it was the alcohol.
eadanke
Oh. I was under the impression that Tony used parts of vision to make his new suit in order to handle the stones.
HeatFromFire
gamesthemonkey
because of the bleeding edge suit though. Even with it going up the side of his face the bleeding edge suit is like an extra organ to tony
Awesomefinder
False. Stark men are dire wolves.
Zixtank
Tony Stark: "You know nothing of pain."
PhilMcrevice
No, its simpler. He felt deaths warm embrace, about to release him from his constant pain, and accepted it. Thanos and Bruce feared it...
TarrkertheNewt
Semantic nonsense. It's the fucking infinity stones. Nobody truly knows exactly how they work or why. Pure hypotheses.
WSilvermane
Thats, exactly what they are talking about.
alexmindtricks
Further reinforces that humans are basically pink space orcs. I love that copypasta.
ImKimJongUnAndEverythingIsFine
If you were just a shit human but could put on the gauntlet long enough to use it, could you turn yourself into someone powerful enough 1/2
Myrryr
No, but you might be able to hold the reality stone long enough to do that, before trying to use all six.
To use it as much as you wanted? 2/2
PorridgePapi
I like that people are still discussing this.
Levistras
Latest spoiler for me this was. Still haven't seen it, waiting on bluray.
oumajgad
You might enjoy the fact that it's about to be re-released in cinemas.
CowboyZ
Or, it works better dramatically to have him not show any pain so that’s what the writers/directors decided. Christ it’s not a documentary.
iquestionthepinappleeveryday
Are you sure? Obviously haven’t seen Spinal Tap.
LeJoop
Yellowchopsticks
I mostly wonder how they built the iron man tech glove for the stones so easily when Thanos's custom glove needed a neutron star to forge.
Whyareyoudoingthis
Plot glue.
Voidhawk42
That's why Hulk lost an arm, while Thanos was able to snap twice and could still use it.
CircleWithSprinkles
It's not that anyone could just forge a glove that fits the stones for convenient carry. It's that thanos wanted more than just a piece of-
Metal hanging off of his hand, he wanted something truly connected to the stones. And the only way to imbue such power into a piece like-
That is to really on the Craftsmanship of the dwarves at nidivilir (definitely misspelled that)
DoNotTakeSeriousPls
I always thought it was just plot armor
This. Its all make believe. Plot makes the world go round.
eastcoastninja
aye
huckitchuckit
I believe that is the name of tony's armour in this one
Unbarring
KoolStoryBrah
I present another one of Tony’s possible reactions to putting on the gauntlet.
MazelJew92
Do people think the directors get that detailed? I think it was for moreso theatrical one liner type deal
Ulthirm
Yes they definitely do get that detailed, many times a film like Endgame will be a director's baby during production because its tying off
an entire era of the show. This wasnt just some random one off maybe will make some money show, this was one of the most hyped films of
this television era.
DamnedAustin
Absolutely directors get that detailed. I can't say for certain in this instance but Tony is, by far, the MCU character with the most (1)
detailed and character-driven story. Especially concerning the buildup to the last two Avengers movies. He seemed to be the only one of (2)
the bunch to know something like this was coming and has been preparing himself mentally and technologically for most of the series.(3/3)
Realaxemad
possible it was intentional as to not ruin the flow of the film? As it would have ruined the climax if we had to wait for the surge in power
jawnn
Honestly, the most logical answer. People can apply whatever emotions they want on the scene, I’d be surprised if the Russo brothers
intentionally didn’t have Tony surge with power because of pain tolerance... despite how romantic they want it to sound lol
DeviousSloth
Exactly. This is the actual reason. It would have ruined the scene. Nothing more.

Strong arguments for both sides I feel. Perhaps both are true

Thank you, Master Yoda.
Welcome you are, young padawan. Away I now leap, to philosophise further I shall.
Problemwoodchuck
This reminded me of the scene in the first avengers film when Cap angrily criticized Tony for not being the type to make the sacrifice play
wlfman
That... That was the whole point.
LoTRFanatic42
NickTheWelder
Stark has made that play like a half a dozen times since that line, plus in the first iron man he told pepper to blow the roof 1/
To kill stain even though he was still on it. Cap said that shit without knowing who Stark really was. Stark made the sacrifice play a lot
Those are really good points
DaierMune
I had assumed that Stark had made peace with the fact that the stones were going to kill him, and wasn't fighting against their power.
CarnanWor
Fear accompanies the possibility of death. Calm shepherds its certainty.
Tsunako
I figured Hulk was also in so much pain because he said "I tried to bring her back I really tried" and they wouldn't let him
I thought it could have been bc the stones instantly start surging through their flesh and with tony it had to work its way though the...
Suit before he took the brunt of it with the snap
LordVulpix
The suit does help though. Notice how the stones are not surging in power despite being in him till it's in position. The suit and Arc >>
Reactor absorbs a metric ton of power. Not enough to stop the pain but enough to keep him from screaming in agony.
LeviathanOmega
^This indeed. Tony accepted there was no turning back. Hulk and Thanos fought back aggressively. Plus, at this point Tony had a purpose 1/
and a cause to die for. It would have been the same if Parker or Rogers had donned the glove. Marvel does love the element of mere mortal 2/
men having the true power in their setting. 3/3
Elven91
Yes, I think the same. He was willing to pay the price, he was already dying and dead men don't care about pain. Still badass.
garuffthehorse
Yeah this is much better than any of the above
iamireland
I had that thought as well, and basically it was more like his whole body got fried fast enough he might not have felt much pain.
CrusherOfCities
I'd assumed Tony's body went into shock, having taken fatal damage almost instantly. Pain is a survival mechanism. The dead don't need it.
OobedoobScoobyDoobyBenubi
^this. Thanks and hulk were fighting against them bc they were attempting to dominate them, tony just went with the flow bc he knew his fate

Tony, when you're done with the gloves, I'd like to use them to spawn a lifetime's supply of hot wings.
nabacular
Seeing how he died seconds later. he technically did
Finally a practical use for the gloves
CheeseB0t

You think one will do it?
Dave830108
You could just get one, that never runs out. And changes sauce to suit your mood.
Delathi
Need to have two. Sometimes I want the drummy and sometimes I want the flat.
GingerLaird

Rogahar

GoldFrieza
my man! You'd really die just to give us infinite hot wings? I love you.
Wait... i have to die?
Since the stones can achieve anything, why not make yourself immune to the stones power, retroactively throughout all of time and dimension?
They couldnt bring back Black Widow. They have limits. You must die for our infinite wings. Thank you. Thank you so much. *cries*
Yeah that's cos the soul stone made it so, black widow was taken out of existence everywhere, in every timeline and universe.
I refuse to die for someone elses wings, they're MY fuckin wings! Screw you!
Tristanisawesome
They brought back gamora though (kinda)
Piscivore
I someone who has had upwards of a dozen kidney stones I concur with the latter's assessment.
TruckloadsOfBroccoli
Did...did they stick a needle through your peen to break your kidney stones into pieces?
They shoved a laser up there.
AGreaterDane
.... y'all need to drink some water and put down the sodas...
KrillinLikeAVillan
You need to make some lifestyle changes my dude, that is an absurd amount of kidney stones.
It is, and I have.
Tmissfrizzle
I recommend not eating or drinking stones
mindolluin
Yep... Apple Cider Vinegar helps a lot
Nostradamuswaswrong
My motto when I feel one coming up is "All pain is transient". Also hot chocolate for the ones that cause vomiting.
Vergenbuurg
Chronic ocular migraine sufferer here, who has also had a few bouts of kidney stones...pain sucks, but it is what it is, and I move forward.

Broke both arms as a teenager and a few years back had kidney stones, hands down kidney stones hurt the most.

EllisyaRaven
A kindred spirit! I get them every 2-3 months.
PhuckKnuckles
I've had about half that many. The first time completely recalibrated my concept of pain.
itsjustoneofthosethings
I have three 6mm stones in my left kidney and in two days I'm having them surgically removed. I'm terrified but excited
Good luck.
CastleBonerShrinker
My BF has surgery scheduled for his kidney stones in a few days. They have made him absolutely fucking miserable
Send him my sympathies, and good wishes.
Thank you, I will! He goes in early tomorrow morning
JustBoone
I've had 3 so far, I would rather cut my kidney out with a knife than suffer a 4th. Absolute agony.
I don't even feel them any more. I just feel it when my kidney backs up.
IAmTheBadW01f
Gotta ride more rollercoasters
HavenRiney
As someone who has dealt with kidney stones and been degloved (all skin remove from my arm) I concur with this assessment.
whoopsywoo
Tell us more
Avoid either of these things happening to you because they are the opposite of fun?
idownvoteyouall
How did the degloving happen?
I got MRSA and they had to do it to save my arm. I posted pics but they are a bit graphic so... view at your own risk.
Grandolddrummer
Holy shit dude. I couldn't make it through pictures of your surgery post. You lived it. You have my respect.
barbarian818
I have a chronic pain condition. I concur. I frequently smile and am patient while I assist my youngest while in pain levels that, 15 years
ago, had me in a fetal ball, crying in bed.
SparkleSalsa
Hey! Chronic kidney stone buddy! High five! Would you like some Tylenol 3 with codeine?
Lostchild12
No thanks. I have a high tolerance for pain killers. Never use the ones I get after surgery.
SloppyUsedCondom
I will if he doesn't. I would stash it since prescription medication is so expensive.
I'm very lucky to be on a plan that allows me to get what I need when I need it. I'm sorry its not the same for you.
I have loads of meds from not using them. But yeah healthcare is WAAAY expensive for me atm.
I... I think you have bad tap water
UltraHellboy
Some people are genetically prone to getting them. Sucks major ass.
Punkah
My mother has that condition, madillery sponge kidney or something along that line is what its called.
savebaBandit
You gave me the biggest chuckle of my day. Thank you sir/madam/etc
rylecx
not at all how that works
Isorikk
That's how it works if they're uric acid kidney stones. Original commenter probably has cystine stones, hereditary disorder.
Flareside
Or too much energy drinks not enough water
Soda, but yeah. Now my kidneys are just fucked.
idliketoliveunderthesea
Same here I’ve had at least two a year since 2003. Damn Coca-Cola
IllegalDuckling
What do soda and energy drinks have to do with it?
ImgurTheDownvote
My uncle did a scan on his kidney stones. His were caused by cranberry juice, the same juice the dr told him would clear his up.
RicocoBang
To be fair you can’t get the cocktail mix which is what most cranberry drinks they sell are, you gotta get the bitter 100% juice
theshinobi23
As a young adult, I was taking multivitamins and not drinking much water. I've been paying the price ever since with kidney stones.
A scan showed hundreds of stones stuck to my kidney walls. Doc said they'll probably pass slowly over time, but it's possible they either
Won't ever pass, or could try to pass rapidly or even a lot at once. Just a gamble of trying to drink a ton of water and hoping now.
Shit, a good friend of ours just had a 9mm stone, I think that’s how big it was but that is huge
ArtOzz
Confirmed. Ive had concussions and tore my knee cap off and shattered my wrist and I dont know what else. Pain is just information.
iputnutinnutella
Tore your kneecap off? What?! That is terrifying
meauho
Shattered one shin, broke other several places. Rips/tears/sprains/strains in legs & feet. Less damage to knees & back as well. That's life
Military injuries circa '03/4. Unhealed bone & muscle damage + constant headaches. New Docs assume scans are wrong patient.
Tony living in pain might have a reaction from initial shock but I totally believe he'd just shrug it off / internalize it.
PandaPlop
Damn man, a dozen kidney stones? Were you trying to collect enough to make your own gauntlet??
FrijolesTheGreat
birry13
spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccee
I have a friend who's passed 130 so far. He's only in his twenties.
My very first stone was so large they had to go in and break it up and pull the peices out 1 at a time. I had a jar with those peices in it.
You could see the crystalline structure of it, the edges and points digging into you as they get flushed down the pipes.
Kovahjin

vauhtihirmu
Did you make sure to build small crosses for them and crucify them around your house? Remind them of the cost of rebellion.
IcyFlash
I thought the reason Banner struggled so much more was because he was bringing back half of the _entire universe_, (trillions) as well (1/2)
IAmDrBanner
He and Thanos struggled before even using the stones (IE, the snap). Just putting ont he glove with the stones was visibly taxing /1
and that is what the post is talking about. /2
UramboTauro
Except that the struggle takes place well before he snaps his fingers. The pain starts immediately once wielding all 6 stones.
[deleted]
Tearofjebus69
Then tony should have died when he put on the gauntlet
Matrixbeast
Thanos and Banner both felt the pain before snapping. They were clenching and yelling the moment they had all 6 stones.
(2/2) as trying do the impossible by bringing back Natasha, whereas Stark was just killing a few thousand creatures.
FlyingTigerRose
The power was still right there. The immediate effect was "killing a few thousand creatures" but he was still creating a new universe (1/2)
with that last possibility. (2/2)
spg81
This is the official explanation by THE MAKERS OF THE MOVIE! Argument over. IcyFlash has it correct.
VexionRoe
Except thats why thanos and hulk get scarred, not why the initial power surge is different.
housev1l
Well the inventor of the GIF says it's pronounced "JIF, " so we know how much we respect creators' interpretations.
IdUpvoteYouButYoureAt69
Did someone say THE GIF on a marvel post???
Baughr
Ok that's fine. But they could have easily jk Rowling'ed it. And been like yeah i like the sound of that and it fits and makes Tony's /2
*gives Tony's character even more depth, and since it's his final scene. "Ok yeah Dumbledore was gay all along".
I’d argue that you still have to control the same amount of power regardless of what you’re trying to do with it
finnsto
Kevin Feige talked a bit about it. Why not just use the power stone to wipe out Thanos and the army. That *could* have done it. 1/2
But Tony didn't know how much it would really take to do it. So, he had to use all the stones. The thing is just the power stone alone 2/
was enough to kill Tony. He couldn't take his time with the power stone to do it, like Thanos could. And Tony knew that going in. 3/
legofham
I'd argue but I'm about 15 movies behind in the MCU and have no idea what has happened or what anyone here is really talking about
Zreen
So your last mcu movie was The Avengers?
Just had a read and I've checked off 8 or them, but most were pre-2013 except Guardians 1 and 2. I got a lot of catching up to do!
notinterestednow
I propose that his nerves are seared off and shock and will alone are animating his medium well/well done revenant form.
Why? As an example of the opposite:the more you try to control the stream coming out of a fire hose,the more likely you are to lose a finger
Datarage
But you have to go through that pain just to get the chance to use them, gotg 1 they barely touched it and almost died
TheDoctormoriarty
Exactly! Even Quill who is half cellestial wasn't enough, it almost destroyed him
Leevalleyoftheshadowofdeath
Because you have to be able to contain the power of the stones without burning up completely thats why when Ronin got the power stone even
Though he didn't even use it right away he still struggled to hold it without dying
MathewMara
Ronin had to put it in his weapon, he couldn't hold it for long
ItsOnlyKinkyDaFirstTime

I've had 3 so far, I would rather cut my kidney out with a knife than suffer a 4th. Absolute agony.
Piscivore
I don't even feel them any more. I just feel it when my kidney backs up.
IAmTheBadW01f
Gotta ride more rollercoasters
HavenRiney
As someone who has dealt with kidney stones and been degloved (all skin remove from my arm) I concur with this assessment.
whoopsywoo
Tell us more
HavenRiney
Avoid either of these things happening to you because they are the opposite of fun?
idownvoteyouall
How did the degloving happen?
HavenRiney
I got MRSA and they had to do it to save my arm. I posted pics but they are a bit graphic so... view at your own risk.
Grandolddrummer
Holy shit dude. I couldn't make it through pictures of your surgery post. You lived it. You have my respect.
barbarian818
I have a chronic pain condition. I concur. I frequently smile and am patient while I assist my youngest while in pain levels that, 15 years
barbarian818
ago, had me in a fetal ball, crying in bed.
SparkleSalsa
Hey! Chronic kidney stone buddy! High five! Would you like some Tylenol 3 with codeine?
Lostchild12
No thanks. I have a high tolerance for pain killers. Never use the ones I get after surgery.
SloppyUsedCondom
I will if he doesn't. I would stash it since prescription medication is so expensive.
SparkleSalsa
I'm very lucky to be on a plan that allows me to get what I need when I need it. I'm sorry its not the same for you.
SloppyUsedCondom
I have loads of meds from not using them. But yeah healthcare is WAAAY expensive for me atm.
BobHubert
I... I think you have bad tap water
UltraHellboy
Some people are genetically prone to getting them. Sucks major ass.
Punkah
My mother has that condition, madillery sponge kidney or something along that line is what its called.
savebaBandit
You gave me the biggest chuckle of my day. Thank you sir/madam/etc
rylecx
not at all how that works
Isorikk
That's how it works if they're uric acid kidney stones. Original commenter probably has cystine stones, hereditary disorder.
Flareside
Or too much energy drinks not enough water
Piscivore
Soda, but yeah. Now my kidneys are just fucked.
idliketoliveunderthesea
Same here I’ve had at least two a year since 2003. Damn Coca-Cola
IllegalDuckling
What do soda and energy drinks have to do with it?
ImgurTheDownvote
My uncle did a scan on his kidney stones. His were caused by cranberry juice, the same juice the dr told him would clear his up.
RicocoBang
To be fair you can’t get the cocktail mix which is what most cranberry drinks they sell are, you gotta get the bitter 100% juice
theshinobi23
As a young adult, I was taking multivitamins and not drinking much water. I've been paying the price ever since with kidney stones.
theshinobi23
A scan showed hundreds of stones stuck to my kidney walls. Doc said they'll probably pass slowly over time, but it's possible they either
theshinobi23
Won't ever pass, or could try to pass rapidly or even a lot at once. Just a gamble of trying to drink a ton of water and hoping now.
BobHubert
Shit, a good friend of ours just had a 9mm stone, I think that’s how big it was but that is huge
ArtOzz
Confirmed. Ive had concussions and tore my knee cap off and shattered my wrist and I dont know what else. Pain is just information.
iputnutinnutella
Tore your kneecap off? What?! That is terrifying
meauho
Shattered one shin, broke other several places. Rips/tears/sprains/strains in legs & feet. Less damage to knees & back as well. That's life
meauho
Military injuries circa '03/4. Unhealed bone & muscle damage + constant headaches. New Docs assume scans are wrong patient.
meauho
Tony living in pain might have a reaction from initial shock but I totally believe he'd just shrug it off / internalize it.
PandaPlop
Damn man, a dozen kidney stones? Were you trying to collect enough to make your own gauntlet??
FrijolesTheGreat
birry13
spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccee
I have a friend who's passed 130 so far. He's only in his twenties.
JustBoone
My very first stone was so large they had to go in and break it up and pull the peices out 1 at a time. I had a jar with those peices in it.
JustBoone
You could see the crystalline structure of it, the edges and points digging into you as they get flushed down the pipes.
Kovahjin
o.o
vauhtihirmu
Did you make sure to build small crosses for them and crucify them around your house? Remind them of the cost of rebellion.
IcyFlash
I thought the reason Banner struggled so much more was because he was bringing back half of the _entire universe_, (trillions) as well (1/2)
IAmDrBanner
He and Thanos struggled before even using the stones (IE, the snap). Just putting ont he glove with the stones was visibly taxing /1
IAmDrBanner
and that is what the post is talking about. /2
UramboTauro
Except that the struggle takes place well before he snaps his fingers. The pain starts immediately once wielding all 6 stones.
[deleted]

Tearofjebus69
Then tony should have died when he put on the gauntlet
Matrixbeast
Thanos and Banner both felt the pain before snapping. They were clenching and yelling the moment they had all 6 stones.
IcyFlash
(2/2) as trying do the impossible by bringing back Natasha, whereas Stark was just killing a few thousand creatures.
FlyingTigerRose
The power was still right there. The immediate effect was "killing a few thousand creatures" but he was still creating a new universe (1/2)
FlyingTigerRose
with that last possibility. (2/2)
spg81
This is the official explanation by THE MAKERS OF THE MOVIE! Argument over. IcyFlash has it correct.
VexionRoe
Except thats why thanos and hulk get scarred, not why the initial power surge is different.
housev1l
Well the inventor of the GIF says it's pronounced "JIF, " so we know how much we respect creators' interpretations.
IdUpvoteYouButYoureAt69
Did someone say THE GIF on a marvel post???
Baughr
Ok that's fine. But they could have easily jk Rowling'ed it. And been like yeah i like the sound of that and it fits and makes Tony's /2
Baughr
*gives Tony's character even more depth, and since it's his final scene. "Ok yeah Dumbledore was gay all along".
BobHubert
I’d argue that you still have to control the same amount of power regardless of what you’re trying to do with it
finnsto
Kevin Feige talked a bit about it. Why not just use the power stone to wipe out Thanos and the army. That *could* have done it. 1/2
finnsto
But Tony didn't know how much it would really take to do it. So, he had to use all the stones. The thing is just the power stone alone 2/
finnsto
was enough to kill Tony. He couldn't take his time with the power stone to do it, like Thanos could. And Tony knew that going in. 3/
legofham
I'd argue but I'm about 15 movies behind in the MCU and have no idea what has happened or what anyone here is really talking about
Zreen
So your last mcu movie was The Avengers?
legofham
Just had a read and I've checked off 8 or them, but most were pre-2013 except Guardians 1 and 2. I got a lot of catching up to do!
notinterestednow
I propose that his nerves are seared off and shock and will alone are animating his medium well/well done revenant form.
IcyFlash
Why? As an example of the opposite:the more you try to control the stream coming out of a fire hose,the more likely you are to lose a finger
Datarage
But you have to go through that pain just to get the chance to use them, gotg 1 they barely touched it and almost died
TheDoctormoriarty
Exactly! Even Quill who is half cellestial wasn't enough, it almost destroyed him
Leevalleyoftheshadowofdeath
Because you have to be able to contain the power of the stones without burning up completely thats why when Ronin got the power stone even
Leevalleyoftheshadowofdeath
Though he didn't even use it right away he still struggled to hold it without dying
MathewMara
Ronin had to put it in his weapon, he couldn't hold it for long
