The Avengers Captain America v Tony Stark

I will be looking at the scene from the Avengers where Captain Americas and Tony Stark are arguing about the hulk

This scene is one of the most tense and honest scenes of the entire movie. Here Tony Stark has been attempting to provoke the Hulk and Captain America steps up and calls him out for being a selfish, careless individual. Typical of both Tony Stark and Joss Whedon, all of Tony’s responses are witty and sarcastic. For example when Captain America asks “Take that off what are you, what are you?” and Tony responds “A genius, billionaire, playboy philanthropist.” Even in the most serious of moments, Whedon adds these little quips which help add to the depth of the movie and its entertainment. Captain America’s character is really highlighted here too as he calls out Tony on multiple occasions. He shows he’s nature towards heroism and honor. He’s always striving to make the world the best and is an extremely fearless character. Tony always has a comeback though, like his philanthropist line, his cut the wire comment and then calling Captain America a laboratory experiment. This scene also shows how brutally honest Tony can be, especially in situations where he probably shouldn’t be. My favorite part about this scene; however, is the ending. Captain America tells Tony to go put on the suit and they will go a few rounds, but a few seconds later after the attack on the ship, he delivers the same line, “Put on the suit” indicating the severity of the situation. It’s a very entertaining and well placed repetition which show how well Joss Whedon can connect to his viewers in witty humorous ways.
