Dragon Age: DreamwolfSolas and the MCU’s take on Tony Stark/Iron Man aren’t two characters that come to mind at the same time. One is an old Elf determined to restore his people to their former glory, while the latter is a genius, billionaire, playboy and philanthropist in a highly sophisticated suit. Iron Man’s storyline in the MCU is arguably the most iconic, as when he snaps his finger, destroys Thanos and his army, and repeats his last witty one-liner, he dies a hero.
However, many have often argued (sometimes jokingly, sometimes not) that Iron Man is often the villain of the MCU. It’s not that he intends to, but that he tends to make good decisions that have bad results. In fact, that’s pretty much the entire storyline of Solas in Dragon Age: Inquisition, and come Dragon Age: Dreadwolfit’s just another decision made for the right reasons and likely to go horribly, horribly wrong.
Iron Man: How His Best Intentions Led to Unfortunate Consequences
Before he became Iron Man, Tony Stark sold weapons to enemies of the United States and was in fact responsible for Ten Rings and Sokovian Forces (the latter being responsible for the creation of the Scarlet Witch). Tony Stark minimized many people, leading to Mysterio’s motivation in Spider-Man: Far From Home and Vanko in Whiplash turn into Iron Man 2. Perhaps the biggest element is that, after the invasion of New York, Tony tried to protect the world with a suit of armor… which became Ultron.
Stark has been hiding many things from the Avengers, believing in his own abilities and intelligence as an answer to everything, which has led to conflicts big and small. He founded Damage Control, which turned out to be an antagonistic agency; he supported the Sokovia Accords, which ultimately undermined the Avengers; and for better or for worse, many of his best actions had unintended consequences. Tony Stark isn’t bad, but a lot of what goes wrong in the MCU can be traced back to him.
Dragon Age: What Solas does, he does for his people
And the same can be said of Thedas. Solas can be a villain in Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, starting from Tony Stark (at least on paper), but he’s a lovable villain. It’s still possible that he ends up on Iron Man a lot too. Before that possibility, however, Solas was heralded as a hero under the Elven Rebellion as its leader known as The Dread Wolf, just as many heralded Iron Man as a hero. The Evanuris killed Mythal and abused the elves, causing Solas to create the Veil of Skyhold. This was intended to separate the world of the physical from the magical and spiritual world of the Fade, essentially creating the world that fans in every world have known. dragon era game. However, this act of kindness had unintended consequences: it weakened the Elves and no longer allowed them to be immortal.
This in turn leads to Tevinter conquering the Elves and losing much of their history and origins, with even the Dalish Elves not always understanding their background. Solas’ action to save the Elves forever changed them and made them all less so. Solas couldn’t even help them, because creating the veil made him fall asleep for a long time. When he awoke, realizing that his actions were leading to the destruction of his people, he tries to break down the veil and restore his people. To do this, however, he had to activate Fen’Heral’s Orb, which he gave to Corypheus. His intention is good – save the Elves – but his actions created every event in Dragon Age: Inquisition.
And his plan continues, again, in Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. The problem is, for all his wisdom, Solas often seems to be short-sighted. Breaking the veil may or may not restore the Elves to their glory days, but there’s so much in the Fade now. Demons are probably stronger, there is clearly a connection to the Archdemons, not to mention the Evanuris were sealed because they couldn’t be killed. Restoring his people is an honorable cause, but somehow it feels safe to say it will have more consequences than Solas understands, is prepared or can handle.
Dragon Age’s Solas and MCU’s Iron Man: The Best Plans…
A safe bet would be that Solas isn’t necessarily the main enemy players will face at the end of the year Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. It’s what he unleashes and whatever he does to help stop it. Maybe Solas will eventually get some form of redemption. Maybe he can save everyone like Tony Stark did. The two characters are different in how they grow in their storylines, but what is clear is that the path to hell, for both of them, is paved with good intentions.
Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is under development.
