Unpopular opinion: I don’t know why people love this so much, it’s one of my least favourite Pepper Potts moments in the history of Pepper Potts. It’s gross and slut-shaming and unworthy. The movies treat Christine Everhart like complete trash both times she shows up, specifically in a sexualized, humiliating way. 

Yeah.  :/ I mean, her poise and aplomb here are pretty cool, but I really really wish we’d gotten to see them in some other context instead.  Especially considering how hypocritical it was.  I mean, Tony’s the one who propositioned Christine, but nobody’s talking to him like this.

I could never even figure out what we were supposed to hate Christine for.  For asking Tony solid, important questions about the ethics of his business?  For sleeping with a man who’s the walking embodiment of a sexual harassment lawsuit?
