Hi everyone! I got permission from Whispering Willow to use their justified/unjustified format for other fandoms for the OTD page! This will mainly be for the MCU but I may try to do other fandoms/media as well!
Scenario: In Thor, Odin is crowning his firstborn son, Thor, as the Prince of Asgard. Thor, being the favourite and spoiled child, acts recklessly. Following a recent skirmish with the Frost Giants of Jotenheim (which Loki caused), Thor decides to go with his friends and brother Loki behind Odin's back to start a battle. Loki, desperate for his father's approval, betrays Thor and tattles. This results in Odin being enraged, exiling and disowning Thor, leading to Loki being next in line to the throne and getting attention, both good and bad, from Odin. Was Loki justified in telling on Thor?

Past scenarios:
1. In Iron Man, Tony Stark decides to discontinue the weapons program from his family company, Stark Industries, following a traumatic event that gave him perspective on the horrors of war, and he no longer wanted to cause the pain he experienced and witnessed. Because weapons production was a major part of the company's setup, jobs were reshuffled and people were laid off. As a result, Obidiah Stane, Tony's mentor, tries to regain control of the company by nearly killing Stark. (JUSTIFIED)
2. In the Incredible Hulk, Thaddeus Ross tries to recreate Super Soldier Serum. However, his test on Bruce Banner goes horribly awry, and turns him into the Hulk upon fits of anger or stress. The Hulk's initial outburst results in three deaths, and the near death of Ross's daughter, Betty. As a result, Ross dedicates his job to capture Banner. Was Thaddeus Ross justified to try to capture and neutralize Bruce Banner? (JUSTIFIED)
During this, Banner struggles with containing the Hulk, and runs away to Brazil to avoid hurting people. When he returns to the US to find a cure, Ross continues his mission, despite Betty being against this and helping Bruce avoid her father. The chase and eventual capture of Hulk leads to the creation of Abomination, and Bruce never gets his cure in the end. Was Thaddeus Ross justified in capturing Hulk years later, despite also putting his daughter in danger? (UNJUSTIFIED)
3. In Iron Man 2, Tony Stark is acting very recklessly when he learns that he has palladium poisoning and will die. His best friend, Rhodey, doesn't approve of this, and his attempts to help are in vain. Further, the government forces Rhodey to take control of Tony and the suits. At a breaking point, Rhodey crashes into what Tony believes is his last birthday party, where Tony is at his worst- drunk and not taking himself or the people around him seriously. Rhodey retaliates by stealing one of Tony's suits and scaring the guests away. This causes a rift in their friendship that boiled into a physical fight. Was Rhodey justified in taking the suit? (JUSTIFIED)
