"We live in a world of cowards. We live in a world full of small minds who are afraid. We are ruled by those who refuse to risk anything of their own. Who guard their over bloated paucities of power with money. With false reasoning. With measured hesitance. With prideful, recalcitrant inaction. With hateful invective. With weapons. F@#K these selfish fools and their prevailing world order." Tony Stark
Tony's rivalries with other Avengers.

Yes, that's slapstick physical comedy. It carries a lack of weight to it, where the violence is exaggerated and the physical consequences just aren't there.
It's not really appropriate for the book, but that's Aaron for you. Nearly everything in his book feels weird and exaggerated like Thor going "Whoah what was that did just lose my worthiness again...". His writing feels like a caricature of the avengers half the time.
The relationship between the characters can also go from "snarky to each other with a underlying love" like with stohl to downright mean with aaron, because some writers really can't balance that aspect of the relationship.
Tony got hell from CW I, the consequences were never ending. Carol got off so easy and still hasn’t apologised. In addition to her mistreating Tony. Hydra Cap caused the mess, sure but Carol didn’t own up to her mistakes.
yeah im not even sure if that's going to happen because she's treated as being in the right and without fault by everyone in universe and walked off a penance stare to prove it.
She didn't get off easy, it's more like, she isn't considered to have done anything wrong except for that brief period in Secret empire which is promptly ignored (even in that event tony fighting against carol was framed as doing things for his ego by Captain america to control the future in his vision rather than anyone else's.)
For some reason that includes nearly killing tony.
Though I guess it should be considered that tony would've nearly killed her if she let up as well (atleast according to the infinity countdown book where the "What if? Carol stopped fighting" is shown... and she ends up in a coma)

I didn't know about the penance stare. That's pretty incredible she passed that then. I guess she just skirts the issue then. It looks like her and Tony have moved on and I guess we should do the same thing. Again I wish Tony would have told her how incredible wrong she was.

Oh btw we did have a villain version of tony in Superior Iron Man where his morality was flipped from axis.
Yes - the clear message is Aaron is going for comedic effect. And had Carol not recently blasted Tony into a coma, it would have been funny... ish. Throwing someone through a wall is kind of extreme unless it’s someone like Thor. Or Tony in his armor. But knocking an ordinary human through a wall is extreme. Combine that with her previous snarky suggestion that the Celestials take Tony along with Loki and... well... mmmm.

Yes, that's sort of the trope behind slapstick. Under normal conditions the person would be hospitalized with a full body cast but under slapstick rules that doesn't happen like an anvil dropping on someone, them getting a bit loopy and then just walking it off. Tony basically goes "Hey we do have a hottub" in classic slapstick way of diffusing the expected physical consequence. The action of throwing the guy through a wall itself is treated very lighthearted carries the same severity as a tap.
rules of the penance stare occasionally change like when punisher walks it off because of lacking regret, even though that's not how it's portrayed 95% of the time. In this case it's suggesting she's had enough penance for her mistakes and so the penance stare wouldn't work and partly because she's not a mortal.As far as I’m concerned, she George Castanza’d that Penance Stare

I think it was the best thing for us and for Marvel just move on. CWII was not the best ideia, so let' s just forget about that.
