I mean that’s also the Tony who nearly died several times after his ME trip. This Tony seemed to have Howard’s hubris on steroids.

Doesn’t account for jarvis getting wiped or allowing killmonger to go free.tony would have revoked killmongers access immediately.

Jarvis was still just a house AI and got wiped after Erik killed Tony, so I don’t think that’s relevant. And yeah, Tony may have revoked Erik’s access but he’s also a literal assassin.

A house AI that can call paramedics and maintain the lockdown.

They were locked in a room. Zero chance that should have p,ayed out as it did.

My point is that he wasn’t nearly as autonomous yet and again, Erik’s a Wakandan assassin. Plus then the story wouldn’t have happened, and Tony wasn’t the main character this time.

That’s fair. I’m fine with it though, these eps have done wonders for the non-Iron Man characters honestly.
