He immediately got fired and sued. Have you watched the movie?

[-] AEsheron@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

No he doesn't? He gets sidelined for a while, which he doesn't fight because he's dostracted. Never gets sued. The second movie starts with a hearing where the gov is trying to acquire his new weapons, but it's not a lawsuit and has nothing to do with the company.

He gets sidelined for a while

So, tell me how he gets sidelined.

Because he's busy building Iron Man armors and locked on his basement/garage and not doing anything CEO related?

At one point I believe the dude tells him that the board has locked him out. So it's not quite as happenstance as you're suggesting.

Are we forgetting Stane was orchestrating the whole thing? Like, the entire movie is him just scheming to take over Stark Industries because he wants to continue selling weapons. I wouldn't put it past him to essentially strongarm or manipulate the other stockholders into locking Stark out, especially given that the entire movie sets him up as someone who can and WILL use violence to get what he wants.

I wouldn't even be surprised if he essentially threatened the other shareholders into locking Tony out, perhaps not directly though.

I don't know how you think I'm forgetting him when I literally brought him up.
