unpopular opinions

Do you think people are too sensitive? Or that Superman isn't so super? Think cats aren't cute? The Beatles are overrated? Love pineapple on pizza? Maybe you just don't like chips rly. Even the best of us have some controversial opinions. Let people know what a monster you are.

with your characters’ unpopular and/or controversial opinion. Or share few of them at once. In person or via text. Prepare for disagreement.

to tell them why they're wrong, validate a kindred spirit, or just troll them for caring about such a silly-ass thing in the first place.

Tony Stark is kind of a dick and not in a likable way, just a dick.

Is that an unpopular opinion...?

[Yes, Steve, you just hang out with the people who agree with it because your stance is clear.]

I mean I think to the general public. I’m just trying to help people out here and I’m sick of having to go around his ego to do it.

It is quite the obstacle.

...Personality aside, both he and his father father have pushed modern science into a new age and they deserve to have some respect on their name!!

How much science was lost though because he felt the need to belittle and dismiss other researchers?

Well, it's hard when you're a genius and no one else can keep up, so generally, it's easier to do things yourself.

Have you ever met the guy? He can’t be everywhere at once, he needs at least some help. Getting friend and colleagues and partners to help you is one of the most valuable things you can do.

I mean... no, but I've met people who have met him and I've read loads of biographies and watched interviews... He made me want to go into engineering myself, and I appreciate the sort of... mindset that level of genius can command.

Like I said, sometimes it's just easier not to have other people sticking their fingers in and mucking things up.

Ok, let me ask you as a scientist do
You think that data set seems inaccurate, or at least incomplete?

I’m not denying he’s a genius, probably the smartest man on the planet, but I’ve seen what happens to a genius who breaks every relationship they have and it’s not great. You end up having to get some ex-con to stop your old company from destroying the world.

Well, it's certainly incomplete, what with insufficient data points to extrapolate from, not to mention no real repetition in the study at all. Like I said, I know people who know him, so none of that really surprises me all that much.

That's... a very specific set of circumstances...

Not that I know him all that well, myself, but I don't think he would disagree with you there.

Admitting it and not doing it are different things.

True. At least he's self aware, though.

[Not unlike Loki himself, who is also, arguably, a dick.]

Mind you, I'm not trying to dissuade you from your opinion. It's just that I think he would be horrified to have me of all people play devil's advocate on his behalf and that amuses me.

So you win no matter which way this goes? That’s… actually about what I expect from your reputation.

Ooh, now you're getting personal. Actually, never mind, I should be grateful that's what you expect from my reputation rather than megalomania and psychosis.

I am more or less trolling here, yes, but if you'd like to delineate your grievances with Tony Stark to me, I'm also willing to listen.
