>> Yeah, Nick wasn't thinking very clearly. Tony has a history of Destroying anyone that harms him or what he sees as his. <<
Not to mention Pepper and Rhodey, already het up over the recent stress and probably still spoiling for a fight. Pepper against Fury? Death of a thousand paper cuts. Ask Stane what happens to people who threaten Tony in front of Pepper. Oh wait, Nick, you can't because she roasted him.
>> Popping up like a bad penny in a scene that I found creepily similar to Stane's appearance prior to the last round of attempted murder was not a good way to make a positive impression. <<
Yeah, that was creeptastic. Thanks everso for giving Tony's trust issues another run around the mulberry bush. Asshole.
>> Also, holding on to Howard's personal effects for 30+ years ( which didn't appear to have an classified data so there is no justification that Tony could accept), forcing medical treatment without consent (the shot in his neck), <<
Agreed. Those two were material harm on many counts.
>> and telling Tony he's not good enough... <<
This was just adding insult to injury, aiming at a known weak spot; but Tony has been hearing that from people whose opinions he actually cared about since he knew what words were. Old news. But not to be forgotten.
>> Seriously, Fury should have been planning for doomsday after all those mistakes. <<
Yeah, I figured that Fury's behavior in the Iron Man movies played into Tony's in The Avengers. Tony took such pleasure in shoving his arm up SHIELD's secrets, and it was so easy for him. Well, much of SHIELD is Starktech, so that's an obvious result.
>> Fury is riding for a fall whether he realizes it or not, because if it comes down to the brass tack, I'm pretty sure Phil will choose the team over SHEILD.<<
Oh yes. Clint and Natasha too. Particularly since the team has been, or will be, cleaning up after Fury's various fuckups with each other for quite some time.
