“It doesn’t seem to phase him in the slightest.” He’s literally trembling in pain
I wouldnt say trembling in pain but yea my mans isnt tiptoeing through tulips lol
So was Tony on the brink of death anyway? This version of Thanos was seemingly sure that he wanted this version of Tony dead.
I bet if he had a BAD tooth ache he'd feel it more
I know, right?!? He’s clearly straining himself just to speak!
@@Firefight_ obviously that's not even close to the pain he should have felt.
I assumed it was because he had already gotten sensory overload and was already starting to die. Like when something is so hot, you don't feel it for a second or, sometimes, it feels cold rather than hot. But, you could be right about all the pain he's endured in his life making him more tolerant. Or, maybe both. Or maybe they just wanted him to have one last cool line before he died.
From a scientific point I agree with you and I think you’re right because of some of the nuclear accidents that have taken place where people were instantly exposed to many times over lethal amount of radiation who didn’t die right away they slowly melted from within and grew in pain over time so theoretically if he did have an elevated pain tolerance he might not notice the immediate effects with the adrenaline rush and sheer mental fortitude to withstand but he figured we’d only be about 10 seconds
exactly what I thought happened when I saw the movie as well
BINGO. He felt it right away. Notice his reaction. His head went back. But when your dermis layer and nerve clusters are burnt away, all you feel is euphoria. The brain no longer has sensory perception.
Also keep in mind that he saw the stones harm Banner first and then Thanos just a moment before he took them into himself, so he was able to brace himself for it somewhat. Tony Stark has a great deal of willpower, and in that moment he needed to keep his attention on the threat in front of him, not the sensations coursing through him.
In Infinity War, Thanos says "The hardest choices require the strongest wills". Then, we also know that the Infinity Stones have some degree of sentience or some kind of vague ability to manifest their "will". So, knowing these two things, I think the reason why Tony was able to withstand the power of the stones is because he, simply put, has a lot more willpower than Thanos or Banner/Hulk. He's willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of everyone else, so he's accepted it, whereas neither Thanos nor the Hulk were willing to die for the snap.
I guess a fitting analogy would be if you fall into a river and try to escape by going against the flow, you're going to struggle a lot, even if you do manage to make it out. But Tony essentially accepted his fate and went with the flow.
This is a very nice and reasonable explanation to it.
Really like your take on this!
That's exactly what I thought. I thought I was going to die once, and there was a calmness that came over me when I accepted that and finished the rest of the salvia trip. 😂
Very nice analysis and I for one agree with you. Stark had the willpower even though it meant that he would be sacrificing himself in the process. How many people would be willing to sacrifice themselves to save others?
It was also stated by the Script writers that Peter survived longer because I was unwilling to die, so will power as in the comics has a lot to do with the stones and really everything else, great way of putting it though
I always assumed it was like 3rd degree burn for Tony. He's just a human. The surge probably destroyed his nervous system rather immediately and he didn't feel much afterward.
Good point. I've heard that about 3rd degree burns; the parts that hurt are the nerve endings NOT destroyed by fire/energy.
That and i think the adrenaline and endorphins surging throughout his system, knowing he will die and happiness in saving the universe blocked the pain.
You mean his pain receptors, he would die immediately with no nervous system
My personal theory is that it’s either the Soul Stone, the Mind Stone, or both that are boosting the power surges with Endgame Thanos and Professor Hulk. Endgame Thanos is conflicted with his desires and has ultimately strayed from the thing he originally thought he was meant for: Snapping half of all life in the universe. The Mind Stone probably upped its surges as it sees this Thanos unfit to snap.
For Professor Hulk, it’s probably both Mind and Soul Stones. The Soul Stone sees Prof. Hulk (and probably the rest of the Avengers) as crazy since snapping half of the universe back will cause massive chaos and more devastating damage than the one Thanos did. And/or theMind Stone upped it’s surge since Hulk sorta underestimated it’s maximum power as some “gamma radiation here and there nothing special”.
Tony resisted the pain probably cuz the Stones probably nerfed their surge, enough so that Tony can snap. They see him as a righteous man that will do any sacrifice for the good of his world.
Or you can go the more technical and say that the Nano Gauntlet is weaker than the Infinity Gauntlet but cmon that’s lame
You’re last one about the Nano gauntlet has to be false. Hulk used a nano gauntlet as well. It is just him being a good, honourable man.
"The trick, Mr Potter, is not minding that it hurts."
Oof sorry wrong fandom lol
Spot on, mate
I like to think it’s because his nano-tec armour was self healing as the as the stones were corroding his armour continually and since he was fully covered in his armour the stones power was spread over a larger area with the armour protecting tony stark.
Yes but he also said you see the power of the stones coursing on his actual skin too. So there's more to it than just the armor alone.
That’s dumb
Personally I believe it’s the will of the user, Tony’s will was so strong that he could control the power. That might just be me tho
@@MeMe-tz5th I think it was mostly willpower and his nerves were probably completely fried by the time he snapped. It's sad to think about but Tony was probably dying before the first syllable came out. He only hung on due to sheer willpower and determination to see this through. His armor was probably shielding him in some way but I don't think Tony's armor was made to protect him at this point. It was made with the sole purpose of protecting others and the Infinity Gauntlet part of it was probably made so Tony could do exactly what he did if the other one didn't work. This all points to an unfortunate conclusion that Tony knew he would have to die. If the Radiation from the stones didn't kill him he was gonna die from his wounds anyways.
It's kinda a sad thought but I find it crazy how Tony's original reasoning for making the Armor went Full Circle in a lot of ways. In the beginning it was self preservation and in the end it was the exact opposite.
@@Zeromaru42I think he was in pain but he does have tolerance
Maybe it's because of what he was planning to use them for. Hulk was trying to bring back Natasha along with everyone else, and the Soul Stone probably didn't like that, so it made the others cause him pain, but since Tony was just trying to eliminate Thanos and his army, the Stones weren't bothered. This also explains why the energy surge stayed so strong on Hulk, while on Tony it stabilized quickly.
Plus, Tony is more used to pain due to how much he's been thrown around in the movies, while Banner doesn't usually feel pain as The Hulk (or at least he doesn't remember Hulk's pain). Not to mention Tony already knew it would hurt, while Hulk was taken off-guard.
Maybe they both got hurt in their snap because their "wishes" were universe-wide, plus the fact that Thanos may have also tried to wish for Gamora back, similar to Banner attempting to get Natasha back.
Well shit, I just typed basically the exact same comment as you! Haha!
@@someoneofsomething yes but this thanos never lost gamora, correct?
@@fardheennissar3654 Yes, but the new Thanos basically wanted to wipe the *entire* universe this time.
@@someoneofsomething but he wouldn’t try to bring back gamora and wipe the universe at the same time correct? if anything i think he’d only do that after he created his new universe
And with The Hulk, we can't forget that he was trying to not just "undo" The Snap, but specifically restore Natasha- which the Stones could not do. So, he essentially fought with the Stones while that energy was messing him up before snapping himself, i.e., he got a much longer dose of that energy than Thanos or Tony did.
I think it's just because iron man's real power is his willpower and the ability to overcome everything.
Tony already knew he was going to be playing the major part in defeating Thanos and would've engineered his suit/ armor accordingly. Tony always managed to cover all his bases through the accumulation of information. He was always many many steps ahead of everyone else.
I feel that the arc reactor on his chest also plays a part in this since the Avengers have established that the scepter didn't affect tony for whatever reason but it affected other people. We also don't know what kind of element it is based on since it has never been established or the limits of its capabilities are in the movies. We don't know its power other than powering the suit and most likely helps charge the ironman armor when Thor uses his lighting on him as seen in the Avengers and Endgame since it looks like the armor was from ironman 2 in the Avengers and we don't know whether the suit automatically recharges itself when struck by lightning otherwise it is left unknown to us what else it can do other than being used as a battery.
The scepter didn't affect him, because it literally didn't touch him. That's why we heard the "ting"
@@jimf4355 energy of reactor absort it from scepter
@@midnightbat344 I don't think so, the scepter just didn't touch him, but the ark, which has no mind to control.
@@kairos4484 I actually think it’s because the arc reactor isn’t a real heart, let me explain why. When Loki was going to control somebody (either Clint, the doctor from Thor, or Tony) he said “You have heart” so I took that as the scepter doesn’t control the mind, it controls the heart. And sure the arc reactor acts like a heart, but it’s not!
I mean Thanos (in Infinity War) took the stone surge once he placed the Mind Stone on the gauntlet before taking a Stormbreaker to the chest (which Thor shoved into the chest more and more to taunt Thanos) before snapping and then teleporting away with a gash in his chest area much larger than Tony's hole to the chest in Iron Man lol but I mean Tony is forever wearing a suit of armor even greater than the Mark 1000 (if he ever created suits to number that high); PLOT ARMOR
I agree this is kindve a silly explanation, but there is a difference between immense pain in a moment vs chronic pain over a decade. This is why people can stand digging a bullet out of their shoulder by gritting their teeth but other people kill themselves over chronic back pain which in the moment is respectively a lot less painful.
While I know what you mean, I disagree bc thanos was completely stunned by thor's attack it took him a while to get over the pain and motivate himself to snap and the gauntlet from (infinity War) that u mentioned was better made than Tony starks gauntlet and was made out of a magical metal that was also used to make stormbreaker and has amazing energy manipulation that helped the energy be more contained and controlled that is why thanos couldn't stop stormbreaker with all 6 infinity stones and don't forget while thanos did tank a fatal blow he was still stunned and in (pain) for a good few minutes and was completely at thor's mercy and would of been defeated if thor didn't hesitate/torture thanos
That would make sense but we also got to think about the fact that this is a different Thanos in this movie. In this new timeline this Thanos did not have any of the Infinity Stones. While the previous one had the time to grow a custom to the stones. Attaching only one at a time and spending long amounts of times to adjust to that before adding a new one. This new timeline Thanos was inferior in knowledge and experience. Just when it comes to pain but the Infinity Stones and the avengers as well
Yeah but Tony is smaller 5han Thanos, isn't a deviant, and isn't a TITAN
@@camronphillips6669 my comment only explains why Thanos reacted to the stones in end game, but didint in infinity war. I have no explanation for tony , other than plot armor ( with one exception . Marvel has never done anything on accident. And I'm sure it'll me explained in the future)
The thought of protecting his daughter gave him the opportunity to act. Also proving Capitan America wrong about not being the guy to make the sacrifice play helped.
Its also possible that the surgery he did in iron man 3 using Extremis made him stronger/healing/pain tolerant.
That’s a great, yet unverified point, that I kinda regret them not exploring in greater detail. It’s like the entire “Mcguffin” of that movie was lost/discarded moving forward and was a totally missed opportunity to circle back to it given how it’s been pretty well established that Tony had a strong tendency to recognize & account for prior weaknesses in designing future suits. Actually I think your point is among the more probable yet overlooked explanations… although I don’t recall any reference or evidence he actively incorporated the Extremis in his heart surgery procedure, in the movies at least. However it would make a great loose thread they could pull to bring him back for real in future films saying he either faked his own death to avoid any backlash from the likes of the Flagsmashers etc.
The infinity stones fused with Tony's suit, we can see that when the stones climbed up his arm, in essence making his entire suit the infinity gauntlet and Tony's entire body the hand that holds them. Him and his suit together are an upscale wielder, but still the power is too much for a mere human, killing Iron-Man.
I think Tony was in that moment, ready to sacrifice everything, including his life to put an end to Thanos and knowing he would save Pepper and his daughter gave him the will to accept the pain.
My theory might be contradictory, but here goes.
As far as we understand this last iteration of Tony's suit was armed for offence more than defence and not for the sake of keeping Tony safe(r) than any prior iteration. Very early in the battle with Thanos, he takes an accidental blow from Mjolnir and knocks out until everyone from 5 years to present time have arrived to join battle. He is also 5 years older at this time and living in isolation from any fight. He is likely unfit even as he prepares for the journey to go back in time. Not doubting he has come to withstand pain - Civil War being the bloodiest, perhaps - I actually don't think he could have withstood the pain from the stones, and the offence of his now damaged suit at the time he is about to snap is actually absorbing most of the energy which is less apparent around his exposed body than we saw with Bruce and Thanos. Being older and unfit - maybe he cannot withstand the energy at all. And, yes, the power of his mind and determination to end 11 years of Thanos in his head is what is holding him together in his final moment. But I am more inclined to believe that his suit's offensive abilities are probably heightened by the stones just enough to allow him to snap, but the damage is already severe, his older and more feeble body does not withstand the energy surge to rid a "small" army which may have taken less "work" than Bruce's effort to bring back billions or trillions of all forms of life that were lost, PLUS the impossible of trying to bring back Natasha... for which he was punished for defiance of that everlasting exchange it takes to earn the soul stone, the stone which Red Skull said seems to have its own wisdom.
He didn't use the full power of the stones. He wanted to destroy an army not half the universe. Remember hulk was trying to bring back Natasha which the stones wouldn't allowed
Right in line with what I was thinking as far as Hulk's seeming difficulty making his snap happen! He was trying to will half the universe back into existence, the complete opposite of Thanos' destruction...Destruction is much simpler than creating and, I'm guessing Hulk had an even more difficult snap than Thanos given how long it took him to get the stones' powers under control, PLUS the fact that he was trying to bring Nat back as well, in spite of what they were told about the finality of the Soul Stone sacrifice by Red Skull. Tony, I feel was aided by one, wearing his armor, and though Hulk could still put on the gauntlet, Tony designed it. And two, he also was snapping for a reason of 'destruction' much like Thanos' snap though on a massively smaller scale. I also believe he had accepted his fate so wholeheartedly and was so at peace with that, perhaps making the power a bit easier to bear. Who knows, perhaps the Mind and/or Soul stones sensed his complete, willing sacrifice and helped with that strain a bit.
Must've been the work of the Ego Stone.
Okay so that doesn't track because in Infinity War The Avengers beat the ever-living crap out of Thanos in infinity war on Titan. Tony Stark, in his Iron Man suit, gave him everything that he had hitting him with pulsars and pulverizing him. Only to split his cheek and the mad Titan shrugged it off saying " All that for a drop of blood." Also he took Storm breaker to the chest and Thor pushing it in deeper and in all that pain still snapped.
Similarly the same goes for Hulk Tony fought him in Age of Ultran and only by trapping him was he able to be successful. Hulk can take pain.
I think the reason Tony was able to endure the power of the stones was he only wanted to snap an army out of existence. Not like Thanos who snapped out half the Universe, which takes a ton of power to do. Not like Hulk who TRIED to bring Natasha back and was severely punished by the soul stone for trying.
I love Tony Stark and Ironman, I'd like to believe he could endure more pain than Thanos but Tony was hit by Thor's hammer in Endgame when Thanos deflected it into him and it knocked him out cold. Thanos took multiple hits and lightening and continued to fight Cap. So I'm sorry come up with a better theory cause this doesn't work
Tony's sophisticated nano-suit undoubtedly has some first aid capabilities. I always thought the suit would have administered some pain killers to take the edge off and keep him alert. But no doubt, Tony Stark is not only brilliant, he's also tough as nails.
I think it was his willpower and the suit, if you look closely, you can see the nanotech particles almost frying and chipping away where the energy from the infinity stones travel up, as each little particle is being destroyed but possibly keeping him alright, and maybe because the ark reactor is made from a crazy element that we don't know of, and it's power absorbing capabilities, it could have also been able to store the energy, it would've been cool if the ark reactor would've been getting brighter from this, or malfunctioning, but a even better idea is if the white screen transition with the light came from the ark reactor, not his hand
Also if think people are overlooking the fact that the REAL reason why Tony didn’t show visible signs of pain is because it enabled him to have a badass one final line before he died, but if he was trying to say it through the pain it wouldn’t be anywhere near as cool so the writers clearly just overlooked that aspect in favour of a cool shot
The suit absorbed most of the energy. The gauntlet was not directly connected to him. Only a small amout of energy was surging through his body. So he only felt minimal pain. But his body couldn't resist the surging gamma radiation which caused him to die.
Well put brother. I'm still not over his passing. Blackwidow as well. Watched Ragnorok,Infinity War and Endgame yesterday to rub salt in my wounds. Had the day off with nothing to do so...it was 15 hours of Marvel starting at 1 pm. Watched on TNT hence the extra long run times. What's your stance on Tony,Cap and Widow returning somehow at the end of the next saga? Are you a "it will ruin his sacrifice " guy ? If we get Secret Wars like everyone is thinking/hoping do you think they return during the final battle?
I thought Stark engineered the suit for that very purpose… to wield the Infinity Stones. Stark collected data, leading us to that day he got to snap his fingers. Plus, I assumed the the arc reactor helped him deal the the output from those Infinity Stones 💎✨🧤✨🧐⚠️
Tony actually doesn't use an Arc Reactor since Iron Man 2. Or atleast that is what I took from the scene of Tony throwing the Reactor into the sea.
@@edwinvanooijen7749 his suit is still powered by a built in reactor
@@edwinvanooijen7749
I thought Stark surgically removed the arc reactor from his chest…
And the suits still possess an Arc Reactor. 💫🧐
@@novanotfoundyt
Yes… The Arc Reactor is in the armor… plus, other technologies.
Because Tony Stark built his suit so that he could stand the pain.
I don't know if this has been said but the Gauntlet was probably an extension of his suit to making it easier for him to swipe the stones off Thanos. His suit most likely controlled the Nano Tech in the Gauntlet?
The nanotech used on the gauntlet looked prototype-esque though. There were a lot of moving parts, like a miniaturized suit in comparison to the seamless weave he has on his latest suit.
@@someoneofsomething I get what you mean. the glove was more mechanical than nano tech but with the suit being the more advanced I was thinking instead of Tony relying on being able to just strip the stones his suit could have manipulated them from the Gauntlet into itself. You never see the stones in the palm of Tonys suit just moving into place on the back of the hand causing the surge through his body from the power of the stones. Does that make sense?
The thing I came up with is this, tony was chosen. Being someone who has always put his life on the line and willing to die for others, the stones chose Tony because he was willing to die for everyone. And the Thanos we see at the end of endgame is not the same Thanos we see in infinity war. The Thanos in infinity war wanted to fix a broken universe even at the cost of his own love(remember, he mourned losing gamora) The one we get in endgame wanted to kill everyone and make a new universe in HIS own image. Also he didn't give up the one he loved most so the stones chose to hurt him and the hulk. Maybe even kill them if they kept it on.. the Thanos also in infinity war was more merciful than the one in endgame only killing the ones he knew would slow him down for correcting the universe.
Here is my theory...
The act of snapping away half the life in the universe may take a lot of power from the stones. The wielder is the conduit that this power surges through. The act of snapping that half back into existence takes the same power. The stones are, in a way, sentient. Like Mul'nir, the stones can sense the worthiness of the user. The stones knew what Tony Stark would ask of them. Snapping away Thanos and his army is much less than half of all life. So it is a much smaller use of power. Even though he sacrificed his own life. Since he was willing to trade his life for everyone else. The stones didn't kill him immediately.
Maybe Tony, so much in nanotehc, injected some nanoparts of suit in hos body and that parts took most of energy so he could snap. Afterwards, that parts made damage inside that led to death.
Or maybe he programed suit to decline energy impact after Hulks attempt. Hes suits were equiped with great AI programs who could learn everything and prepreare for and assume all sorts of danger...
Soo I gotta say, I honestly think you have the best takes and analysis of MCU on CZcams. Love you videos man and I know if you could find the time/money to up the production of these videos alittle you could be just as big as New Rockstar or ScreenCrush. But either way keep making these man your doing great.
-Some random Guy
Is it possible the Stones wanted/needed to correct what they had done? the stones together would have known that moment was coming?
I’m sure that the Adrenaline was also playing a big part of the role here. As well as his nerves being completely fried after the snap. That’s why he couldn’t talk or move much.
I think on the surface it’s due to his suit in that he prepared for this for years. He knew that he may have to give his life at some point ever since that vision he had. Also he was only snapping people within like a mile radius. Hulk was restoring half the damn universe. His arm is a small price to pay. But diving deeper into Tony’s pain only makes it more epic. So cheers to you, Tony and all the iron man fans! He’s marvels Batman and will always find a way to win.
Is everyone here forgetting his Arc reactor in his chest, remember that in Avenger, his arc absorbed Thor's lightning blast and return to sender. So it could be that his reactor could be obsorbing the stones energy output while passively shielding him slightly and long enough to pull the snap
Didn't he get surgery to take the ark reactor out.
@@kairos4484 Yes, at the end of ironman 3 Tony got the arc reactor removed with surgery, during infinity way and endgame Tony had an arc reactor that he can easily take off, rather than being embedded in his chest. During the suit up scenes in both endgame and infinity war, we see Tony double tap the arc reactor, bringing the nano-bots to form around his body as a suit-like shape. He no longer has the arc reactor inside of his chest to shield his heart from the stone’s power. Making the theory that the arc reactor from Avengers shielded him highly unlikely.
Let's say the nano tech absorbed 80% of the stones radiation and the fact that Stark wanted to wipe out an arm and not half the universe. Thus less power needed from the stones. You can see that Starks nano tech can absorb/block a direct blow from the power stone when he is facing thanos as Tony forms a shield.
I think he was able to withstand the pain because there is no drama in having him scream out. I honestly don't think there's a reason other than the script needed it. If there was an actual reason, the video makes a good case for what it could be.
Good theory. The motivation to save everyone he loves, and in the universe, a strong willpower(or hard-headedness), and the amount of abuse and pain his body has taken over the years means Tony can take it fuck that snap makes me tear up every time.HE SAVED US ALL!!!
I like to think the intensity of the surge is directly related to the scale and price of the intended wish when the stones are assembled. If some guy named Joe wanted to make a sandwich using the ingredients in his refrigerator, it'd probably just feel like a static shock, maybe a shock from an electrical outlet or a honeybee sting or something. Stark wanted to merely snap away Thanos and his army, so while it was a lot of pain and destruction, it was nowhere near as much as the Hulk, who wanted to snap back the half that Thanos snapped away, or to Thanos, who literally wanted to destroy all 6 infinity stones.
I am pretty sure it is a combination of several factors. First, and possibly the largest, reason would be the Arc Reactor in his suit. As seen in original Avengers and Endgame, it is capable of absorbing energy (the new unnamed element Tony made for it is), with Thor's Mjölnir causing a surge of over 400% capacity. Second would be the fact that his entire body is covered in metal alloy from the suit. Yes, it does get into his body, but the energy is also conducted across every inch of his armor and dampens it. And thirdly, yes, all the crap he's been through has given him resistance to mental and physical pain, and the thought of losing his family is what pushed the guy over the edge. Sad to see him go.
mindset, intent, and the stones themselves knowing that, and the pain resistance does help a little.
great vid
It is not because of that. It is because the soul stone can determine who is worth and who isn't. Hulk wasn't worthy and nor was Thanos which is why you can see that the stones were "attacking" them, but for Tony, the soul stone saw his intentions and made it easier for him. It has nothing to do with pain and how much each character receives.
Contusions are incredibly painful. Most people dont get to experience that kind of muscle trauma but it is not a pain easily shrugged off. Tony was a bad ass for pushing through that alone
When professor hulk put on the gaunlet he should’ve absorbed the gamma radiation then when thanos arrived the actual hulk should’ve came out even more powerful
I'd like to suggest that, also, the energy surge was overloading and frying his nerves, causing them cease sending pain signals.
Cause it was in the script?
I assumed that because Bruce was trying to bring back someone that died from the soul stone snice his damage after was similar to the damage that Thanos had from destroying the stones. So I believe that the initial shock is the same level of pain but when activating it on a scales to what the user tries to do.
I think you are partially correct. Not so much about the pain but his resolve. In the first iron man movie he says to Piper that there is nothing else but the mission. When he snaps you can see on his face he is 100% sure of his goal / strength / resolve. In that moment there is nothing else but the mission.
I think it's more complicated then one or two things at play.
1. You have his armor, /nano tech healing him
2. Yes is life of physical pain.
But you a few more factors to take into consideration.
3. His feelings of responsibility to the world.
A. Being the privileged and genius man he is.
B. Redemption from the time he sold weapons and the blood on his hands
C. Being the leader ( he would see himself as the leader no mater what..)
4. His Pride, he may have been in pain but refused to show it especially to Thanos.
5. Peter Parker. Anger, regret, revenge, at the loss of someone he took underwing and treated alot like a son.
This is powerful powerful motivation.
And we have learned that will power.. dose pay a role when it comes to the stones.
Thanos many times makes mention of his Conviction..
Damn. I've long held a belief that this is an important trait of Tony Stark, his ability to put personal pain aside to achieve a higher goal.
i think its also probably possible that the reactor that is literally in his chest is taking a lot of the energy and probably also causing his heart to beat a ton faster which allows his body to make a lot more adrenaline at a much faster rate which adds to his already superhuman pain tolerance which would also explain why afterwards he is panting a lot and seems dizzy and weak because after snapping his fingers the reactor obviously struggled and like broke. because of that his heart basically went from like a million miles a minute to very extremely slow. this would be a shock to his entire system which would most likely cause internal damage that the infinity stones didnt already do and would explain why he didnt feel all the pain suddenly after snapping and having the adrenaline gone, because his system destroyed that part of his brain functions from the overload of adrenaline to a sudden slight trickle of production. or at least thats what i think *shrug*
My theory is that Tony upgraded his suit agin during the 5 yr span to the point that it can tank most of and power surge it receives. Also I do believe that after different kinds of fights with different kinds of enemies, by now, Tony had upgraded his suit to include some sort of parameters that helps him heal and recover while in the suit. Idk. Just remember that Tony uses his past shortcomings as his advantage whenever he rolls out a new suit (Ultra charged repulser powered by Thor's lightning, heater, parachute, his fix to the freezing problem, etc) like, whenever he realizes something that's missing, he almost immediately fixes it and implements it in a new suit.
Using this logic, I think they might've analyzed headless Thanos' body and from that, calculated how much damage it had done (Hence why Prof. Hulk said that he'd seen the damage, mostly Gamma). Just a theory tho.
I think also when it is someone willing the sacrifice themselves for the greater good that the stones know and forces no pain as death is assured.
I personaly think the soul stone might have played a part considering whos soul might havd shielded some of that pain so hs can do what he needs to.
Video hasn't started but I already know it's because the nights were adapting to the radiation that would be a good story to bring him back saying that he had nanights in his bloodstream during that they got fried then they laid dormant repair to each other and reanimate him and reanimate him using Verinics and Edith
Like Joe El told Kal-El, test your limits!
I think it has to do with resolve and will and what they plan to do. Tony had the most resolve and will of all three of the ones we see snap and he was willing to die to do it, so the stones granted him the ability to do so and took his life once it was done.
Bruce described his sensation when hulk is in control as being an exposed nerve. Therefore the bit about hulk taking on most of Banner's fights does not add up in the context provided.
I think it has more to do with what the stones are being used for. Dusting half the universe or bringing that half back causes a lot of energy to surge out if the stones. But dusting Thanos' army didn't surge that much energy cause it was a smaller task being that his army is smaller than half the universe. Tho the surge of power was still enough to kill a mortal human.
I have to disagree. I believe since Tony's reason for wearing the stones was pure of heart and doesnt want anything thats against the stones ability. Although Thanos felt his reason was pure it wasn't and you see the stones are against it when he gets the soul stone. Gamora asks him if it was worth it. He was a butcher with his own agaenda. The Hulk also was fighting the stones with him trying to bring Nat back even though he knew it wasnt allowed or possible. Tony was the one who truly wanted to do good with no selfish wishes for himself. Thats just my opinion.
Good theory 👍
It may be that he's more accustomed to pain, but he's also used to having absurd amounts of power flowing through him from the Arc Reactor in his chest. The Arc Reactor in his chest is a machine that is normally much much larger and his small one generates the same amount of power. Tony also has a very strong will. A will I would say is stronger than Banner or even Thanos. I mean, look at all that he endured in his first movie. He was beaten and tortured, and he didn't give in. He fought his way out. He didn't let anything stand in his way of getting home.
I assume that Tony knows how painful it is, thus asked Friday to preset the snap in the first place before he took the stones. Meaning, once he took the stones, he was writhing in pain but his iron nanotech suit kept him in place. Friday snapped his fingers for him while he simply gave the will to snap.
If course like the video says he is mentally very strong. For example in Iron Man 1 he climbed downstairs to get the arc reactor after going into cardiac arrest for 15 minutes, and immediately went to suit up and save Pepper once he learned Pepper was in danger. Whatever his body couldn't do, his suit does it for him, while his mind is clear and determined.
I just assumed it was because he's not wearing them, his suit is. The suit is taking 99% of the hit, just like in every fight he's ever been in. Doesn't mean he's completely invulnerable to injury (as has been seen many times) but his suit elevates him from "just some guy" to superhuman strength and durability. Seems simple to me.
I think it had to do with Hulk trying to Snap Natasha back which the Stones would not allow, so there was a fight that resulted in the increased pain and damage that Hulk suffered.
My theory is that Tony's suit absorbed most of the power overclocking it and the residual energy got into Tony! If you look closely to the suit the energy surge seems to be spread to the suit first. It is like his first encounter with Thor in the first Avengers movie when the suit absorbed the lightning blast from Mjolnir before he redirected back to Thor! I think the current suit felt Tony's willpower and feelings that Thanos needed to be brought down so it absorbed as much as it could. Just my theory!
Sometimes will power supersedes strength and experience. We’ve also seen this clearly in the MCU a bunch of times
Tony Stark has felt pain or numbness in his left hand multiple times throughout the movies. I think he has always felt the Infinity Gauntlet.
Although no sign of it in the MCU could also be that the Stones themselves decided Tony was an acceptable user, as we see in the comics it is explained that across the multiverse each universe' infinity gems/stones are sentient. While they didn't cause pain they still damage his body.
I believe that the infinity stones especially the soul and mind stones are completly sentient and judge a persons worth based off if they have or are willing to sacrifice something in order to use the full power of the stone. This is why thanos in infinity war could snap even after being hit with stormbreaker because he eacrificed gamora to gain the soul stone. Tony snapped without being in so much pain because he was willing to sacrifice himself and his familys future with him in order to snap and save half the planet.
Personally I think the Infinity Stones decided amongst themselves to spare him the pain. They finally found the one person worthy of weillding their power selflessly.
With the stones giving off gamma energy. I wondered if the gauntlet detected Hulk's arm as another infinity stone. Tony and Rocky worked on the gauntlet. And I'm sure Tony knew about the energy surge. I think Tony would had survived but remember. His helmet was damaged. He didn't have the full suit on for protection when he did the snap.
Dude's probably got mad pain killers and nerve blockers in that suit, probably administered automatically. If it's anything like the HEV suit in halflife, basic medical capability would be easy to add and fit the 'be prepared' mentality of the character. He even does that wound spray stuff when he's injured, and stuff like broken bones are probably both expected and treatable. After the ass-kicking he got, he seems way too calm at the moment.
I think that the size of the wish played a major role. Thanos made a wish to wipe out half of all living creatures, Hulk's wish was to bring back the half of living life that was taken out. Iron Man's wish was to only eliminate Thanos and his warriors. Even in Thanos 2nd snap where he destroyed the stones, it was a very small wish that did not have that much inpact on him as the first wish.
It is said that the stones have a mind of their own I think they chose Tony knowing full well they would be destroyed eventually. The soul stone is also the biggest stone as it would make sense it has more will and power over the other stones. It is also acquired by sacrificing the thing you love the most. What tony loved and longed for more than anything in the world was to be there for his family, the stone sensed this and in exchange gave tony the full rights over every stone and gave him the chance to snap granting his wish in exchange for his own life.
As what i thinks… both Thanos and Dr Hulk had their personal reasons to use infinity stones. Thanos wanted to fulfill his dream to wipe out half universe whereas Dr Hulk wanted to get back Natasha aka Black Widow with others who got wiped out. Both of them had their own serge but Tony was the only one who did not thought for once about his personal benefits and wanted to use infinity stones to save the universe for which Infinity stones gave him strength to do that without making hustle.
Hulk fell out because he was trying to bring back the dead (Natasha/ Black Widow). He was simply trying to do too much. The reason Tony was able to withstand the power because he knew this was the end for him. Dr. Strange gave him the look then pointed at him. Since that moment you can his resolve / desperation to end it. RIP Iron Man
I think he didn't feel any pain because he didn't need to fight and struggle to survive like thanos and hulk did, he was dead the second he got them all so he didn't have to struggle with the power
The "new element" he discovers in iron man 2 is actually uru, and that is why he was able to withstand the power of the snap.
A combination of his pain tolerance and the will of the infinity stones as well as his armor
I think it has to do with the soul stone. Thanos had to make a sacrifice to obtain it and successfully wield the gauntlet, but hulk did not make any sacrifices, in fact he tried to undo Natasha's sacrifice so the stones punished him for it. In the case of Tony Stark, he was sacrificing himself, and he did so willingly, as a result the stones allowed him to take the shot in the process of his sacrifice.
I have heard that Tony Stark's death is a nexus point so he could have been protected by a greater power that we don't know about yet.
He was trying to look badass and he did
He felt an unfathomable amount of pain.
I always figured the Hulk's extreme pain was from trying hard to bring Black Widow back.
The suit, like when it went to 400% power from Thor's lightning, absorbed bookoodles of energy from the stones with the main battery system not available in the glove alone, just not all of the energy.
Tony's Suit was not made with the materials of the Infinity Gauntlet, which was able to absorb and direct the power, which is why it hurt Thanos as well as the Hulk
I always thought because of his suit. The surge went through his suit that took a lot of the pain
Never did get why no one just used the reality stone first to make themselves able to withstand the power of all the stones then used them together.
He just hid it very well.
I took it as Tony accepting that no matter what he was going to die and the stones realized that he had accepted his fate and just did not cause him as much pain.
Also something similar happened to Thanos at the end of infinity war
I always took it that he muscled through the pain, Sure Banner Hulk was in pain and Thanos grunted a few time, but given everything that happened up to that point it was likely nothing more than an adrenaline rush and you're usually don't feel pain until after the rush is over
That’s actually a very good theory.
If iron man 2 could be referenced here, Danko was resilient to extreme physical pain although eventually thwarted by Starks' superior arsenal of weaponry. Perhaps Stark himself decided he needed to increase his pain threshold, knowing that iron man would eventually be in situation that would see his demise.
I think tjats the final gift of the soul stone to protect him and and his good intentions
He has armor on but it probably start to burn near the end that my guess.
The plot armor he was wearing required it.
This.💯
The stones have some form of sentience and the soul stone has a special place in that it is able to judge the wielder of the stones and either allow access, limit the power or outright deny their use. I believe the soul stone judeged Tony and saw what he wanted to do was good and so allowed him to sacrifice himself for the good of all living creatures in the universe. Remember that Thanos was set to destroy every living thing in the universe this time around after seeing that living half alive was a bad idea since they wouldn’t be “grateful” in his mind for the sacrifice. So Tony was allowed to use the stones to rid the universe of Thanos and his army once and for all and eliminate the threat of total universal genocide.
I always thought it was to do with will and sacrifice. Thanos Did the snap and yes it hurt him but his will was strong but he wasn't willing to sacrifice anything. tony, on the other hand, has always put himself in harm's way for others and when he donned the gauntlet the stones being sentient sensed his will to do the snap regardless of self-preservation, so the stones went easy on him. Tony was going to snap sacrificing himself or die trying to snap Thanos away.
Wow, Tony stark a symbol of of taking pain and suffering and turning it into strength
