Iron Man and other Marvel heroes have died needlessly
Robert Downey Jr. Iron Man has died the most emotional MCU death. And unnecessarily. As a look into the annals of the Marvel screen universe shows, one crucial invention could have saved him without much effort. We’re talking about the Extremis technology from Iron Man 3.Saving Iron Man: The MCU wants nothing to do with Marvel technology

In Iron Man 3, Tony Stark’s antagonist Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce) uses a sophisticated virus technology called Extremis, which easily heal wounds and regrow limbs can. It even saves Stark’s girlfriend Pepper (Gwyneth Paltrow) from death. After the film came out in 2013, however, the invention was never discussed again.

Killian (Pearce) and his Extremis technology

Iron Man’s sacrificial death in Avengers 4: Endgame could easily have been prevented, as Screenran t also notes. Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) shouldn’t have died. Vision (Paul Bettany) would still be alive. Gamora (Zoe Saldana) could still be dating Quill (Chris Pratt).

Of course, the silencing of technology has a very simple purpose. If such technology exists, where is the danger anyway? Where’s the adventure when everyone can be healed instantly thanks to Extremis? It’s like the invisible car in James Bond 007 – Die Another Day: The invention is so overpowering that it threatens the whole dramaturgical concept of the series.

So Marvel fans will continue to shed tears over fallen heroes. But that’s far better than seeing the big MCU darlings live on endlessly and with suspense until they tire even their biggest proponents.
