didn't simon blame tony for his embezzlement & downfall? him becoming a villain was obviously zemo's fault but didn't he initially hate tony a little? although it was funnier when he had beef with him when they were both on the wca

Hi anon! As presented, Simon never verbally mentioned hating Tony; we see a newspaper say he blamed Tony Stark for his downfall, but in terms of what Simon actually says he never says anything among those lines. Enchantress says it was Tony's fault, but again, Simon doesn't say anything about that.

I imagine there was a little hostility, but I think the conflict has been exaggerated out of proportion, like I imagine Simon really was only like "company can't keep up with the improvements made by stark, which sucks" and everything else kind of got exaggerated. I think the reason people think Simon really hates Tony is to do with the EMH show--which while a good adaption, did seriously oversell that arc from what it was in Avengers #9 lol

#asks #anonymous #like bc simon literally says nothing abt tony i figured a newspaper blew it out of proportion for Hot Sales #bc literally the rest of issue 9 simon is just being sad and guilty and vibing. nothing abt tony.#and of course retroactively if hes blaming anyone its himself n eric.......#emh predicated the mcu trend of linking Every Single Antagonist To Tony Stark For Some Fucking Reason Why Is Mysterio There.#simon williams #wonder man #it's also weird how much ppl exaggerate him being a villain bc its CLEAR he's having his life held against him like hes not even a villain #hes getting blackmailed and he barely fights them before he fuckin DIES.#just saying clint was a villain for longer and it doesnt get treated as a massive part of him like for some reason non comic readers do #with simon #ANYWAY.
