Good morning, friends of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and if you are not aware…today is the day Tony Stark…a.k.a. Iron Man…died by sacrificing his life to defeat Thanos and save Planet Earth in the process. A true hero.
Mr. Stark, who has ties to New Jersey because of his father’s work with the American military, took out the gigantic purple scumbag once and for all on this day, October 17th, 2023 (in the MCU). Quite frankly…because I’ve gone insane and have a difficult time distinguishing reality from fantasy…I think we should consider making this day a national holiday. But then again…I’m mentally unhinged.
Regardless…whether you recognize Tony Stark as simply a great character or an actual hero…today is the day we celebrate…the Iron Man!
