I prefer the assassination tbh. I think there’s a lot more drama and mystery there that can add more depth and emotions to Tony’s story as he tries to discover what really happened in his parent’s death. Who was behind it? What was their motivations? You can include a villain to be who assassinated them like MCU did with Winters Solider (I would personally use Spymaster) and if u want you can make it a giant scheme created by a mastermind or villain organisation.

I’ll be honest, I never particularly cared for the car crash. I used to think it was one of those “fun facts” about how the Stark died and that’s it. However Gillen really changed my perspective on it by adding layers to the Starks death and using it for some of the best character introspection on the character- showing his grief and regret, tying it Tony’s insecurities flaws and struggles, the loss of his loved ones and friends, relating it to him as a mechanic/engineer who is so fixated on trying to save everything bc he couldn’t save his parents and teaching him some valuable life lessons:

Sometimes people die and you can’t save everyone. It’s not anyone’s fault and he blames himself too much. Honestly Gillen’s best work on his character by far

What do you prefer?

Which way do you prefer the Starks to die? Assassination or car crash
