Iron Man (1968) #96
#back when Jasper was previously a regular supporting character in this book I thought he was so annoying#but now I’m like wow Jasper is so reasonable#I actually think this is a really interesting counterpart to Tony’s version of heroism#so far there hasn’t really been much narrative pushback against Tony’s worldview#he started out constantly having heart attacks and keeping his health problems a secret#to the point where he’d be dying and crawling to an electrical outlet and refusing to call for help from the people in the next room#because he didn’t want people to make the connection between his chest plate and the Iron Man armor#then when his health problems were revealed he still continued to not ask for help even when he was dying#because he was so horrified at the idea of being vulnerable in front of other people#or because he was just so heroic he wanted to handle everything on his own#of course he’s not going to actually end up getting himself killed because he’s the protagonist#but there needs to be continued conflict in his life too which often comes from his health problems and the way he approaches them#and it’s clear here that Tony has seriously exacerbated his condition that he was previously kind of in denial about#and in my mind Sitwell is being very reasonable in suggesting that Tony does not actually have to do everything himself#with specifics of this situation notwithstanding#so I’m curious as to how this divide between their perspectives will be approached in the upcoming issues#as the state of Tony’s heart becomes clear#my thinking is that even if the intention is not to portray Tony trying to handle everything on his own as a bad thing#it inherently creates conflict#so it's not possible to really complete portray it as a good thing#marvel#tony stark#jasper sitwell#my posts#comic panels
