At this point, this fight between Iron Man and Captain America was the most emotional and heart-breaking fight we’d seen in the MCU so far.

As Iron Man finds out the truth about Bucky killing his parents, he loses control and goes full pelt at the former Winter Soldier in a desperate attempt to get some revenge.

Cap tries to step in and protect Bucky, but Iron Man is too strong. He takes on both of them and more than holds his own. 

From the emotional soundtrack that hints at tragedy to iconic imagery plucked straight from the comics, to Robert Downey Jr’s exquisite acting, it all comes together to make a tragic conclusion to one of the MCU’s best movies.

For as long as Tom can remember, he has understood the reality around him through the tinted glasses of works of fiction, be it books, films, TV shows, or anime. An English graduate, he wrote articles on a wide array of topics for several years, from entertainment and pop culture to history and literature. Before that, he was an educator and a roleplay game writer and developer. It is his deeply-rooted love for performing arts and visual media that led him to become a part of the DC team in 2020.
