Tony and Bucky + shared trauma.

One fell into fire, the other into ice.
Tony and Steve have something in common. They both know what it feels like to see their loved ones fall and be reborn.

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?”
Merry Christmas everyone!
I wish you’ll all have a great time, with delicious food and marvelous gifts (but not too big).
