“Okay, yeah, yelling at you about your low self-esteem might not have been the best way to handle that”
So Tony! So Tony all the way through!

I love that there's an Other Dæmon for the Other Guy. I never even thought about that. What does the Other Dæmon look like? A giant green panda?

Tony and Bruce both need more therapy than I think any therapist in the world is prepared to give. Good thing they've got each other-and Pepper.

She's a giant green brown bear, to represent the more aggressive nature of the Other Guy. Pandas are pretty docile. Brown bears are unpredictable in temperament and will attack if they are surprised or feel threatened, which seemed to fit the Other Guy's MO.

He's dealing with PTSD mostly, along with his daddy issues, and the trauma is unusual, but I think you could help him the way you would help any other patient with those problems ( ... )
