To each their own, i suppose. But i think people get put off because of Stark's arrogant larger than life personality. But reading the comics, you can see that it is more of a facade than anything and that his life is actually terrible cause he has to live a double lifestyle.

All of this! Also, I would argue that in the MCU, Tony has had the most character development and much of that facade is on display. The dude had PTSD, which added a realistic nature to his character. He sees the horrors of the constant battles, yet anything he does to try to helps ends up hurting him more in the end (I.E losing Pepper, the accords backfiring, losing whom he probably considered a best friend in Steve, plus Rhodes not being able to walk now).
Agreed. Bottom line is that perception is not always reality. He may come off as a turd nugget, but he's actually a good guy with a big heart.
