#intrigued by the discordance here between Tony’s public reputation as a playboy #which’s portrayal varies as to how accurate that actually is #and his reputation as a dedicated businessman at Stark Industries #which is consistently true #his work at Stark Industries is what people would actually know him from #they don’t know him as a famous playboy #so it’s interesting to see how people make sense of that he’s seen as both frivolous and serious #it’s not even the employee that doesn’t know Tony that well that brings up the playboy thing #it’s Pepper #who because of her position in his life as his secretary knows him pretty intimately #‘despite being a playboy his company is almost his life’ #despite that you would think he has other priorities (women) #he’s actually significantly more invested in his company than other comparable people are #but Pepper as Tony’s secretary fully believes in the legitimacy that Tony is a playboy #marvel #tony stark #pepper potts #my posts #comic panels
