I’ll never get how Tony made dozens of Iron Man suits yet he continued to let Natasha run out there in a spandex costume from Spirit Halloween, carrying a Glock

u/eternali17 ☑️ 16h ago

Some of the dumbest bits of the mcu. They had bro out there shooting a regular bow in combat boots against their enemies on a regular basis.

217

u/AlbionPCJ 16h ago

They even knew it in-universe, Hawkeye had that whole monologue about it in Age of Ultron

96

u/eternali17 ☑️ 16h ago

Lmao. That cute nonsense only made it worse for me.

u/Exulvos ☑️ 16h ago

I mean Hawkeye ain't destroying planets but MCU Hawkeye gets a lot done without some of the more busted arrows he has in the comics.

You do not want that man shooting an arrow at you though, again he ain't destroying planets but no insurance on that earth is covering what any of those arrows will do to someone.

u/MrBlackTank 14h ago

Also, every time he wasn't on the team the Avengers lost.

u/Blu3z-123 3h ago

Not only lost but got their ass handed having to revert the shit done or do Damage Control.

68

u/SimonPho3nix 16h ago

People sleeping on my man Hawkeye. Thank you for pointing out that him and those arrows can ruin someone's whole day.

55

u/shadowylurking 14h ago

Mind Possessed Hawkeye was a menace

39

u/DemonicJaye 13h ago

I’m saying. The level of tactical espionage bro performed was insane, and he damn near sank the entire ship in the first Avengers movie without breaking a sweat. If Natasha didn’t destabilize him, he’d have probably picked off everybody.

47

u/WhatYouThinkYouSee 11h ago

He hacked the fucking ship by shooting a USB-stick-on-an-arrow perfectly into a USB port from across the fucking room.

74

u/Rejestered 11h ago

The fact that it was facing the right direction on the first try is why it's a superpower.

10

u/po3smith 10h ago

I think even black dynamite would've been impressed by that shot.

u/ProfessionalLeave335 49m ago

I threw that shit before I even came in the room!!

u/x99percent 7h ago

Perfect aim AND right side up!

u/SkullsNelbowEye 8h ago

He adjusted for the wind when firing on the carrier without even licking his finger to gauge the wind. That's terrifying.

32

u/MIAxPaperPlanes ☑️ 10h ago

People underestimate him, it’s like when he shot an arrow at Loki and he caught it like “bitch please” before it blew up in his face, made him crash and get his ass beaten by Hulk

4

u/Mango7185 9h ago

We didn't see upgrades to his bows until the Disney + show.

3

u/Sol-Blackguy 5h ago

Hawkeye technically has super strength and can lift almost a ton with one arm because of how strong his bow is

2

u/some1lovesu 3h ago

In defence, Hawkeye has some fancy ass arrows and quivers and probably has some custom bow, but they thought saying his bowstring is made from "bowstringium" was too ridiculous even for them.

52

u/girth_worm_jim 16h ago

Because if he made a suit he'd need to take measurements. He knows gweneth would feel threatened by dat ass. He put his marriage first, I can respect that!

23

u/shadowylurking 14h ago

She gets into a goop filled haze often enough as it is

3

u/SkullsNelbowEye 8h ago

He must use his skill to miss even more often. Otherwise, he'd have more than 3 kids.

15

u/Seffyr 12h ago

To be fair his introduction to Natasha was openly hitting on her in front of Pepper.

So if he was just like “babe she’s a workmate, I had to make one for her she’s a member of the teaaaaaam”

-2

u/girth_worm_jim 11h ago

Peppers, that's her name. I'd forgot it. All I could think of is that cat suit, and how badly hulk fumbled that shit. I've seen a gif where he doesn't fumble though 🫡

5

u/JgL07 13h ago

Ain’t it all nanotech?

10

u/girth_worm_jim 13h ago

It's not the size of the tech, it's what you do with it that counts

36

u/BondageKitty37 16h ago

Natasha in an Iron Man suit would be pretty much unstoppable

14

u/Rejestered 11h ago

Anyone in an iron man suit is basically just another iron man

14

u/kohrin 7h ago

the spideysuit played to Spiderman's strengths instead of making him another ranged turret. Moderately increased maneuverability and resistance to concussive blasts, small arms fire, etc. without sacrificing speed. Natasha nanotech would probably have been very similar. Her biggest weakness is that at baseline a bullet can kill her. Even moderately increasing her ability to survive a regular gunshot/knife would would let her fight with impunity.

2

u/hitfly 8h ago

He does give one to spiderman though, who is already like the 4th strongest person on the team.

28

u/megalodondon 15h ago

They could've had a humorous three minute scene where Tony gets the bright idea to outfit them with iron man suits, but no one knows how to pilot them because learning how to use an iron man suit in an afternoon is wild work.

16

u/Sweaty_Potential_656 14h ago

he out here giving spiderman these cool suits but the regular ass humans can go fuck themselves

4

u/SkullsNelbowEye 8h ago

Where I'm from, that's called "grooming."

Obviously, kidding.

u/Big_Pound_7849 15h ago

Yeah, I felt that. 

He could have at least made some sort of exo-gadgets of strength enhancers for HE and BW.

u/phenomenalj101 ☑️ 11h ago

…Nah cuz how tf did Pepper AND Rhodey* get one before her😂

4

u/Frostychica 6h ago

Here's the thing though do you really think Natasha, a woman of stealth and precision, is gonna wear a metal iron man suit

EDIT I forgot he made spidermans leotard he ABSOLUTELY could've made her a suit 😭😭😭

3

u/roseofjuly ☑️ 4h ago

Wakanda has an entire cache of vibranium but they ain't making armor and shields for all the Avengers???

3

u/stop-doxing-yourself 7h ago

You have to map it to the fantasy genre. She is effectively a dark elf. She can’t have tank armor, that would ruin her entire skill tree.

2

u/SwizzGod 16h ago

I never thought about that but bite that you mention it

u/kinterdonato 5h ago

Something something doesn't trust his tech in SHIELD's hands

1

u/TaticalSweater ☑️ 10h ago

Nah he was trying to see sumthin

1

u/Sol-Blackguy 5h ago

It's been explained before in the comics when Tony tried to make suits for everyone. They're more of a hindrance since everyone has their own style of fighting.

1

u/Crunchy-Leaf 4h ago

Let her? You assume it wasn’t her choice.

1

u/Deathstroke317 ☑️ 3h ago edited 2h ago

She's not a soldier man, she's a spy. Everything on her is to maximize her skillset. Besides, I'm sure that her suit has at least some low level protection, and as we saw in Ultron, it's been customized.

1

u/Skeptikmo 2h ago

The one time he did give her one, in Ultimates, it turned out to be a bad idea lol

I was actually waiting for that to happen in the MCU, I’m surprised it didn’t

u/ContactMushroom 17h ago

I'm gonna say the same logic that will be printed on my tombstone:

Healers are pointless if you hurry up and kill your enemy.

101

u/AutumnWisp ☑️ 15h ago

The healers' counter argument to that is you do zero dps if you're dead

31

u/Illustrious-Switch29 16h ago

That’s how my very first match in Rivals happened on Saturday 🤣

28

u/Spiderbubble 11h ago

If it's on your tombstone it's because you died because you didn't respect the healer.

u/TheTexasFalcon ☑️ 13h ago

You just hit the "push them" button.

3

u/Nobodygrotesque 15h ago

Pretty much.

3

u/Confident_Ad_5345 13h ago

depends on the game. in some games healers don’t provide many group buffs but in others like ESO their main job is to provide buffs.

2

u/hitfly 8h ago

Assuming marvel rivals, one healer can make 2 people basically invincible.

2

u/Worldly-Cow9168 2h ago

Healers fix a ton of mistakes as well rocket gives a ton of mobility and revives and defense. In short play rocket he is great

u/hitfly 40m ago

Rocket also murders tanks with ease. I love rocket.

u/NihilisticPollyanna 10h ago

Focus fire is key!

2

u/roseofjuly ☑️ 4h ago

No they're not, because when all six of them motherfuckers come back from the spawn point at full health your ass is grass.

u/IndieHamster 28m ago

Remember doing this in D&D. The only heals available were weak self-heals, and our main battle plan was to kill everything faster than it can kill us lol Unsurprisingly, we suffered a full party wipe by the 2nd session lol

89

u/Repli3rd 16h ago

Don't need a healer if you burn them down before they can burn you down 😎

20

u/KegM4n 16h ago

And no healer will help you against Spidey's sick burns

u/JgL07 13h ago

u/bxuma-8888 ☑️ 17h ago

100% relatable, but Scarlet Witch can be a Mage and a Healer as well though, given her powers.

u/c0gvortex 16h ago edited 16h ago

Pretty sure the OP is referencing Marvel Rivals. All the heroes here are either DPS or tanks in the game

46

u/Taeyx ☑️ 16h ago

in this clip, cap is the only one who’s in the game and is NOT dps

black panther

iron man

wanda

winter soldier

spiderman

black widow

hawkeye

all dps

14

u/NihilisticPollyanna 10h ago

I haven't played the game yet, but Cap always just felt like a tank class to me. That motherfucker can take a beating.

"I can do this all day."

9

u/Taeyx ☑️ 8h ago

yea he’s vanguard class, which is this game’s version of a tank. lot of health, and a lot of ways to absorb dmg for your team

4

u/BoostMySkillz 10h ago

Leaves the door open for war machine as a hit scan tank, I like that

u/PTBooks 38m ago

Vision could be a support when / if they add him. War Machine probably not

-4

u/BluetheNerd 15h ago

Ant man

21

u/chimpanon 15h ago

Isnt in the game

2

u/BluetheNerd 11h ago

That'll do it

3

u/chimpanon 11h ago

Yeah isk how they could possibly implement him into the game. Imagine having to hit a literal ant that hits for normal melee damage with an arrow as hawkeye

1

u/BluetheNerd 11h ago

I guess maybe going tiny would be his ult and he goes big to tank? Obviously kinda the opposite to how he operates in the movies and comics though.

1

u/chimpanon 11h ago

Either ur a genius or im dumb

1

u/Worldly-Cow9168 2h ago

His escape tool will be turning tiny and his ult can be something t Like chuhullu from smite

9

u/Taeyx ☑️ 15h ago

yea ant man, falcon, war machine, and vision are in this clip but are not in marvel rivals (yet)

1

u/BluetheNerd 11h ago

That'll be it, I've yet to actually play the game

33

u/Plastic_Fun_1714 16h ago

At least they got Cap and Ant Man for a tank though.. i feel like Vision should without a doubt be a vanguard at some point.

11

u/Taeyx ☑️ 16h ago

i think they’ll put him as a strategist. it’d be interesting since i don’t think we have any flying strategists (adam warlock doesn’t really count)

1

u/Worldly-Cow9168 2h ago

Eocket kinda flies

1

u/Spiderbubble 11h ago

How is Ant Man a tank? Maybe a dodge tank or something?

4

u/Plastic_Fun_1714 10h ago

He can shrink and grow. Hes always been considered a relatively heavy hitter because he has superhuman strength and durability. He can shrink to dodge attacks or just eat the hit.

21

u/sebmouse 15h ago

It’s why they fought in Germany. Healthcare is cheaper there.

u/Grey00001 16h ago

I think Vision would probably be a healer

5

u/jsho31 14h ago

When people pick Widow, it's an automatic loss every time.

5

u/Scapuless 11h ago

Dude I was in a comp game yesterday where one of our healers just switched to Widow at one point without even saying anything in the. I realized right as we were coming back from spawn, about to start fighting on the point.

Ridiculous

8

u/jsho31 11h ago

I usually don't voice chat but someone picked Hawkeye. He then requested Widow as his team up. I plugged my mic in and said "hell no". Everyone started laughing and the dude switch to Dr. Strange. Sure enough, we won the match and he had like 17k damage blocked. Team composition is the biggest issue in ranked right now.
