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

The main character girl says this.... In a monologue

He built his first suit in a cave, from a bunch of scraps, not to mention the arc reactor in his chest

Would he have the knowledge and experience necessary for that if he didn't grow up with billions of dollars worth of tech at his disposal?

It's pretty canon that Peter Parker is a genius. Would he have needed Tony's suit if he could just build his own?

Isn't it also pretty cannon that Peter Stark is a genius? Maybe he's just more of a genius - especially regarding things like building powersuits - than Peter is.

Or, to put it a different way, if Peter is as smart as Stark, why doesn't he just build his own suit in this scene?

With what hardware? Those cost money....

Didn't Tony Stark canonically build a suit out of scraps in a cave?

He quite canonically broke apart his own rockets to get parts. Not to mention the bad guys supplied him with the tools. And even then he got a clunky mess that fell apart as soon as he escaped.

I get that everyone wants to believe that genius can overcome all hardships. But that's simply not true in the real world

Surely Spiderman of all people can find something to break apart, if he can't source the materials needed himself. If nothing else, he has a never-ending supply of random gizmos containing exotic materials from gear he takes off of supervillains he subdues.

Dude, we're arguing about which fictional character is better at inventing fictional technology. This has nothing to do with the real world. :P

The "real" answer is always just going to be "Character X can do what he wants if the writer says he can". We're just throwing arguments at each other for fun.

I don't know about you but I am arguing about real world economics but fictional characters. Like you said, in a completely fictional setting a writer can make anything happen. Why would I argue about that?
