Very often a good movie begins, ends, or even builds on an absolutely stupid decision of the protagonist. If you think about it, in many cases he could have made life much easier for himself and his loved ones by doing something different. However, probably, then there would be no picture itself. Apparently, it will be better for the audience if the movie characters continue to do stupid things.

Because of the stupid decision of the protagonist, the love of his life almost dies. He also has to build an impromptu laboratory on the other side of the country, freeze mercilessly and try to reanimate the suit with improvised means. The problem could have been solved more elegantly, but Tony himself has never been distinguished by restraint, and the Marvel writers have never been unpredictable moves.

After that, the titan manages to kill all the heroes of the picture and destroy half of the living beings in the universe.

However, if not for him, the next part of the story could not have been filmed at all.
