[ ... Robbie can't find a single thing that he completely agreed with - or disagreed with. For the first half of the monologue, he's scrabbling at opinions that invert on contact.

Yes, they should protect people's rights. Of course. Obvious. Except they're talking generically about all people, heroes, and criminals. Where were Gorilla Girl's rights? Robbie hadn't cared about hers. And no one had minded about his either.

Yes, fight smarter, but Rich is dead. He didn't learn the lesson so well.

If only they could all stop being petty, but Robbie's one of the pettiest ones. He can't let go of what Tony Stark did, and Rich is being petty as well. Showing off about Thanos.

Then, Rich gets... very Rich about the whole thing. Stubborn and maybe stupid, and Robbie thinks it's what he should be saying. The optimistic, hopeful spiel, where everyone's secretly good and a rousing speech about Americana will bring them all back to their senses.

You got too good for Earth at some point. Maybe if you could stick around this time, they'd listen to you. Me - I'll be happy if they haven't reopened 42 for this. Most of them already showed me how they feel about rights, but I don't hold it against anybody but Stark and Richards.
