Thaddeus Ross Meets Tony Stark: A Clash of Ideologies
Thaddeus Ross: You know, Stark, I’ve always found your appetite for destruction quite paradoxical, given how much you claim to want peace.
Thaddeus Ross: The world needs order, Tony. Not whatever your latest gadget promises. We need accountability and oversight. Those disasters that follow you around? They tend to spill over into areas that concern me.
Thaddeus Ross: Keep laughing, Stark. But one of these days, your recklessness is going to catch up with you and hurt a lot more than just your ego.
Thaddeus Ross: And your version of freedom looks a lot like unchecked power. You think you’re untouchable because you’re smart and charming. Newsflash, Tony—you’re not. Sometimes you need someone to step in and remind you of the rules.
Thaddeus Ross: And what happens when you’re gone, Stark? What’s your legacy, really? More broken cities, more people put in harm’s way?
Thaddeus Ross: You’re still just a kid playing with adult toys. But for what it’s worth, Stark… I hope you’re right. I honestly do.
