This Exchange In Endgame Was So Goddamn Satisfying

this exchange in endgame was so goddamn satisfying

Steve: We’ve been hunting Thanos for three weeks now. We’ve face-scanned satellites, we got nothing. Tony, you fought him-

Tony: -Who told you that? I didn’t fight him. No. He wiped my face with a planet while the Bleaker Street magician gave away the store. That’s what happened. There was no fight-

Steve: Alright. Okay. Did he give you any clues? Any co-ordinates? Anything?

Tony: I saw this coming for years. I had a vision - I didn’t want to believe it. Thought I was dreaming-

Steve: Tony, I’m gonna need you to focus-

Tony: -And I needed you. As in past-tense. That trumps what you need. It’s too late, buddy. Sorry. (…) And I believe I remember telling all of ya’s - alive and otherwise - that what we needed was a suit of armour around the world! Remember that? Whether it impacted our “precious freedoms” or not. That’s what we needed. 

Steve: Well, that didn’t work out, did it?

Tony: I said we’d lose. You said: “we’ll do that together too.” Guess what, Cap? We lost. You weren’t there. But that’s what we do, right? Our best work after-the-fact? We’re the Avengers? We’re the A-vengers?! Not the Pre-vengers? Right? I’ve got nothing for you, Cap. I got no co-ordinates, no clues, no strategies, no options. Zero, zip, nada. No trust, liar. *rips arc reactor off his chest and slams it into Steve’s hand* You find him, you put that on. You hide.
