[Okay, something was wrong. He doesn't think any of his crew would be unwise enough to push it and mess with him like this. Did his signals get mixed somewhere?]
[ ah, there it is. the explanation, verbose and arrogant. resentful, scalding.
an interesting turn of events. ]
You have quite the goal set up for yourself. Much harder to take a man's reputation down when he is already dead. They're shielded by nostalgia and hindsight. What will you do to achieve this?
Some men have built empires on unstable foundations. I would like to see what happens when one challenges those foundations. It sounds as though you have thought a lot about this.
[Of course Beck's losses were more professional than personal but he's as bitter about it. He's also turned them into much worse slights in his own twisted thoughts.]
Slowly, with a meticulously elaborate plan. I created doubt among friends. Sowed betrayal among the loyal. Once they distrusted one another, the work is done for me.
Not so easy to do that while your enemy is already six feet under.
Saviour of the world Iron Man. The greatest hero Tony Stark. They've been building shrines all over the world for him. You can't get away from his image. It's ridiculous.
People don't want to hear the truth about him so I have to completely overshadow him.
If you work too quickly to expose Stark's mistakes, people might feel sympathetic. You must play the long game. Build your case. From there you can step into the void left by his presence.

Date: 2021-04-27 11:51 pm (UTC)Not that he really matters any more since he's dead.
But his memory is persistent. People should not praise such an arrogant, self-centered man as a hero.
[Pot. Kettle. But Beck thinks he's better than Tony and deserves more.]
He needs to be knocked off that pedestal. He needs to fade away. Be forgotten.

Date: 2021-05-22 11:42 am (UTC)Certainly. Now you need only make your name as well known as Tony Stark. Make it synonymous with greatness.
