The Fury said:
His character is too cocky for guilt, which is why him creating Ultron is so poor compared to Hank Pym, who's life it ruined. Yet I just had a thought, Tony was concerned about the death of an american citizen who happened to die during Ultron stuff, yet he is more than happy to put a kid (spider-man) against army vets and spies |
He did stop the production of weapons though, when he realized what they can do to people.
He may be too cocky to admit mistakes, but he is not above guilt. That makes him act the way he does, supporting the contract like this great idea, while it's basically his own fault it ever came that far. That way he can ease his consience and that's why he wants anyone else to follow suit, because then he can tell himself it was the right decision to make and not an admission of his own failure.
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
