Marvel: Why is October 17, 2023 a terrible date for fans?

October 17, 2023: Marvel fans are in mourning

October 17, 2023 is a date imprinted in the hearts of fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This is the day Tony Stark, also known as Iron Man, officially dies according to the MCU timeline. In fact, this date coincides with the moment in which Stark, memorably played by Robert Downey Jr., makes the ultimate sacrifice during the battle against Thanos in Avengers: Endgame released in 2019.

After a quest through time and space to collect all the Infinity Stones, Stark manages to attach the stones to his armor and, with a snap of his fingers, disintegrates Thanos and his army, thus saving the universe. This heroic act cost him his life, leaving him to die on the battlefield, surrounded by loved ones such as Peter Parker, Rhodey and Pepper Potts (although some were against this death). This disappearance is all the more touching as it marks the end of an evolution of the character that began in 2008 with the film Iron Man. This is, without a doubt, the saddest scene the MCU has given us so far.

Fans pay tribute to him

From billionaire, playboy and philanthropist, Stark has become an ordinary man, ready to extraordinary measures to save his family and the universe. His final sacrifice he saved billions of people across the galaxy, at great personal cost. Throughout his journey, Stark has been charming, funny, and charismatic on screen, thanks in large part to Robert Downey Jr.’s performance.

The events of the films Avengers: Infinity War AND Avengers: Endgame led to this tragic end. The MCU’s complex timeline suggests the “blip” occurred in October 2023. Dedicated fans of the franchise have expressed their sadness on social media, recognizing October 17 as the day Stark met his end after the snap.
