The speaker, who seems to be a film theorist, argues that Tony Stark, the character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, should be in jail due to the numerous laws he breaks throughout the series. The speaker provides a detailed analysis of the various laws Tony Stark breaks, such as trespassing, hacking into government computers, endangering a minor, and operating a flying tank while under the influence of alcohol. The speaker also discusses the potential legal consequences of these actions, including fines, prison time, and the confiscation of assets like the Iron Man suits.
The speaker concludes by noting that Tony Stark's confession of being Iron Man in front of Congress and international TV would have led to him being charged with all the crimes committed while using the suits. However, the speaker suggests that Tony Stark's life is so over the top illegal that there has to be some explanation for how he isn't in jail. The speaker proposes that all the favors Tony Stark makes for the government later in the franchise, such as keeping War Machine up to date and signing the Sokovia Accords, might be his way of performing community service to avoid jail time.
