Robert Downey Jr bowed out of the MCU this year with a heroic display in Avengers: Endgame, but it seems some fans just really hate goodbyes. 'Petition' is a word we're becoming all too familiar with in recent weeks — Game of Thrones season eight spawned several — and now Iron Man's dramatic demise has secured close to 35,000 signatures asking the filmmakers to bring him back to life.

The Change.org petition argues: "MCU's Tony deserves to come back fully alive. Tony Stark was always ready to risk his life, suffer, and sacrifice himself for anyone, without ever receiving anything in return. Since the beginning, since he was a kid. He can never be happy, and when he finally got what he always wanted, and deserved, his wife, his daughter, his family.. he died."

The petition goes on to say, "He didn't deserve this and it's not fair, after everything he's been through, and done for everyone, he deserves to live and see his daughter grow up."

Wrapping up its message with a wink to Tony's memorable Endgame quote, the petition adds: "We love him so much. We love him 3000."

It's a touching sentiment, but something tells us Marvel won't be paying too much attention to this one.
