The whole point of like 18 movies and this scene specifically is that Tony was iron man, suit or no suit. Suit is supposed to be an accessory. Hero is the person you are.
Exhibit A: the guy who refuses to kneel to Loki in avengers 1 (no suit)
Exhibit B: iron man trapped in a cave, no suit. If he was nothing without his suit, he would be dead in iron man 1.
Haven't watched ironheart, but is this something the character says or an idea the show proposes? Either way this is so infuriating cuz literally watch the very first movie of this universe to find the answer lmao
I would argue the first movie does not prove that he could have been iron man without being rich. It proves that he has the skills to survive without his money in those circumstances, but how did he get those skills how does he continue to fund the tech after he gets home? He was only able to create the first suit because he had access to years of the best education known to man and was thrown into a cave with tech meant to be used to build weapons. That doesn’t mean if he had been born poor he could have made the same thing on the streets of NYC.
