MY FIRST TIME WATCHING CAPTAIN AMERICA CIVIL WAR!!

[@Blastimal]

Zemo is my favorite Antagonist in the MCU. Not the one I agree with the most, but I really enjoyed his role in the story for this movie.

[@Jacoc323]

He's so well written

[@jager3090]

Yeah. And it's so great that it carries on into TFATWS too

[@CrazeeAdam]

Also he's just a guy. He's well trained. But no powers. And still brings the Avengers to their knees

I never really even considered him a true antagonist as well. He's just desperate and longing for when "heroes" get exposed. :(

[@waveymattdavey]

The thing I've seen people often say "oh what happened in Sokovia was unavoidable, they were stopping Ultron from destroying the world and a the casualties were better than the alternative." But they forget that Tony made Ultron and the whole thing was avoidable if he didn't just eave an newly discovered super AI in a lab while he went to a party. So yeah I think they absolutely do need accountability, but to each other.

[@insertnamehere2746]

Right, Tony is supposedly right in all his calculations, except that he stupidly did not calulate or anticipate the possible negative outcomes of experimenting with a magical alien stones. One could try to excuse him for not knowing that he did not know it was an infinity stone, but the mere fact that HE DID NOT KNOW what it was means he is at fault.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

@@insertnamehere2746 Yeah, so? He's human, and except for Thor, they all are, and mistakes and misjudgments come with the territory. Doesn't mean he or they should be shut down or babysat or removed from duty. Either you trust superheroes or they're worth nothing. And he _did know_ what it was - he wasn't putting that thing in Vision to 'save the world from celestial threats' shows he knew exactly how powerful it is. This Tony vs. Cap debate is all about submitting themselves to gov't authority, not accountability from within. They already have that -- Cap.

[@Cyrinil142]

@MoMoMyPup10 Sounds like a great recipe for literally zero oversight or accountability. "Don't worry. We'll police our own vigilantism. National borders, civil liability, basically none of the law applies. " Sounds like a good way to end up in the universe of The Boys. Like sure, Wanda should be acquitted for any charges related to the fiasco in Lagos and any reasonable jury would do so. But none of that can happen unless she can be put on trial in the first place. Also, pretty sure designing an ai on a network connected to both the internet and machines designed to automatically build killbots leading to the death of thousands is a crime that can't be responded to with "hey, I'm a human. I just did a bit of a woopsie." Nat's the only one with her head on straight the whole movie. Sign the accords, save face with the public. Play nice with the law and probably pencil a few hearings into your schedule. Then, if something actually important comes up and whatever oversight committee makes the wrong call; just ignore them and deal with the consequences after the world is saved.

[@highlander31527]

You forget, Wanda had amplified his fear and terror, and pushed him into desperation to finish the project. I'm not dumping blame on her, just spreading it around.

[@waveymattdavey]

@@highlander31527 but again, I think that whilst the fear from Wanda was the reason he took the risky action of playing with an AI in a magic space rock, it was Tony's arrogance that let him do it in secret and without maximum supervision.

[@sickomode3150]

Robert Downey JR. is hands down THE BEST MCU casting of all time, the Ultimate game changer, The ace up their sleeve.

[@thatpatrickguy3446]

Who better than Robert the former charismatic and juvenile bad boy to play Tony Stark? I agree that this was the best, and in ways the most obvious, casting choice.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

[@Reelfilms1998]

[@toddsmitts]

Fun facts: Wanda didn't use her magic to push Vision through the floor. She altered his mass to make him so heavy that the floor collapsed under him. The main male HYDRA assassin was played by Chris Evans' stunt double. The main female assassin was played by Scarlett Johannsen's stunt double. The fact that they were played by stunt performers, rather than actors, is a bit of a clue that they will end up being a red herring. If you remember in "Winter Solider", when Cap finds Zola as a computer, one of the things he's shown is that Howard and Maria Stark's deaths were not an accident, so he's clearly known that much (and probably at least considered the possibility that Bucky was involved) since then but did not tell Tony.

[@lawrencenull]

A little context, in the comics Black Widow and Bucky dated...now rewatch the scene where she says you could at least recognize me. Entirely different scene 😉

[@shadowfire_08]

I just happen to live in Chadwick’s hometown of Anderson, South Carolina. this man has done so much for the local communities & kids down here. Wakanda Forever, My King 🤴🏿🙌🔥🍻

[@toddsmitts]

Glad to see you recognized General (now Secretary) Ross from "The Incredible Hulk". That movie had more or less been forgotten by most MCU fans at this point, but the writers needed someone to represent the government in this film, sp they brought him back. He was played by William Hurt, who sadly died earlier this year. Reportedly, Harrison Ford is going to take over the role in future films.

[@Rocket1377]

Weird that Disney are willing to recast a minor character like General Ross, but not an important character like Black Panther.

[@toddsmitts]

@@Rocket1377 I think it was out of respect for Chadwick that they did not recast T'Challa. That's what they said.

[@PhilBagels]

@@toddsmitts Yeah, that's what they said, but it makes no sense.

[@michaelccozens]

@@PhilBagels I think the idea is that it's kinda like retiring a jersey. When anyone thinks of Black Panther now, it'll always be Boseman. Not to be insensitive about it, but Chadwick's very regrettable demise does also give Marvel some narrative room they wouldn't otherwise have had. No-one would have allowed them to kill-off Black Panther before, but now that door's open. I'm not saying they wanted to write-off BP - probably quite the opposite, if only based on revenue - but now they can. Again, without meaning to be cynical, from a story perspective it really kicks the ball into the long grass, which can occasionally produce some really interesting results.

[@michaelccozens]

@@Rocket1377 In a way, yes, but in another way, it makes sense. Minor characters don't have as much impact on the story as major ones, so it's an easier call to make. Perhaps they decided they simply didn't want to have to explain why Ross got subbed with precious screen-time, especially as they're already regularly pushing 3 hours. Humans can only sit for so long, and nobody seems keen on re-introducing movie intermissions. Plus, I'm guessing theatres make money by the screening, and not by screentime (like restaurants, basically), so a 50-100%-longer movie is really going to hurt your bottom-line. I imagine they're still profitable, but much less, for the theatres, as if the movie were just as popular but 90 minutes long.

[@jgreen2015]

Tony: did you know? Steve: I didn't know *it was him* Tony: don't bs me, Rogers. Did you know? Steve: yes Steve knew that they were assassinated. But not that it was bucky. That's why he qualifies his first answer as "I didn't know IT WAS HIM". He wasn't lying. Technically he was telling the truth. But trying to avoid saying he know they were assassinated and kept that from Tony In winter soldier when stuck in the Arnim Zola AI room, Zola talks about creating a world so chaotic people give up their freedoms for security. in that speech he says 'afterall ..accidents will happen.." and a newspaper article showing 'stark dead in car crash' flashes up. So Steve knew hydra assassinated Tony's parents

[@MrKingYuji]

Yea, but deep down Steve knew it was probably Bucky. That is why he avoided looking for the full truth.

[@jgreen2015]

@@MrKingYuji i only go by what happens in the films You can just insert your own assumptions that aren't in the film

[@MrKingYuji]

@@jgreen2015 I’m not disagreeing. I’m saying Cap never bothered to find out the full truth because like he tells Tony, he wanted to spare himself. He knew it was Hydra, and he knew Bucky was their assassin. So while he may not have KNOWN it was truly Bucky, putting two and two together would be fairly easy

[@Whalewraith]

The thing that always got me about the governments position on the Avengers is how hypocritical it was. Sure there was some collateral damage during the mission but the US military actually fired a nuke at New York City during Loki's attack. How many citizens would that have toasted?

[@SeedFactoryProject]

Secretary Ross also conveniently left out that he was running the supersoldier program that resulted in Banner becoming the Hulk, and then Abomination, and their fight caused a lot of damage to Harlem in New York City. He's got blood on his hands too.

[@georgegerrard5376]

The debate about the accords was really strong when this came out. I remember everyone choosing sides

[@CaptainFrost32]

Cap learned that HYDRA assassinated Howard & Maria Stark when Arnim Zola was distracting them before the missile strike in Virginia. Tony had access to the same clues when Nick Fury gave him access to Howard's files and equipment from SHIELD in Iron Man 2. When the briefcase was opened, the comic book showed Bucky on the cover, though the issue seen on the newsstand in the Captain America : First Avenger did not have Bucky. Nick.Fury knew, Black.Widow knew... even Falcon understood that HYDRA took out the Starks.

[@thatpatrickguy3446]

Great reaction to a top 3 Marvel film. A movie with no real villains, just damaged and hurting people lashing out. Even, and especially, Zemo. A well done tragic story. I loved all the psychological details that went into this movie, creating and exploring the characters and how they have changed. It wasn't just a punch out movie, it was seriously deep and personal. Tony feels guilty because he created Ultron. If not for the fact that he knew he was the smartest person in the room, that he knew what was best, Ultron never would have been created. That's why Tony makes the choices he makes in this film. He no longer trusts himself so he wants someone else to be in charge of him. It is a huge change from the Tony we have known, but a reasonable one all things considered. By the same token Steve has changed drastically. The fact that the leadership he followed unreservedly was corrupted by Hydra and people he knew, relied on, and worked with, like Rumlow, were villains taking advantage of his desire to be a good person working for the noble cause have shaken his faith in being the good soldier. He can no longer blindly put his faith in other organizations, especially ones as petty and corrupt as the UN, to determine the right thing to do. He only trusts the people who have shown their good faith, and he will even question some of them at times, like Tony. The Avenger Parents (Clint and Nat), each taking a side and trying in their own way to find solutions to keep the Avengers from being destroyed. Wanda dealing with her own huge legacy of psychological trauma and still trying to overcome her own fears to fight for what she feels is good. Rhodey, taking the hardest hit of all and having the presence of mind to say that it sucks, but it's worth it. He and his counterpart Sam are the most stable foundations for each side. As much as I understand Tony, I'm always going to be Team Cap in this movie. We are all individuals, and bureaucracies only seem interested in the one size fits solutions, which often aren't even good for a majority of the population.

[@skyeblue5565]

Steve only found out that Bucky killed Tony’s parents during the Winter Soldier movie. When him and Natasha were talking to the computer version of Zola (the Hydra scientist that worked for shield after) he mentioned and showed on the screen how people who got in Hydras way were killed by the Winter Soldier. During that scene he showed a flash of the news paper article saying that Howard stark died, implying that The Winter soldier killed him

[@ZarrarAAli]

The balance in this movie is so well done, it's easy to see how they're both right. I'm slightly more Team Cap but I do feel they need *something* like the Sokovia Accords - maybe a council that advises or requests their help? Not one that tells them what to do. And they should be able to appoint some members to the council that they trust, maybe retired supes...

[@nikdenver8512]

I don't think she cares about laws or anything regarding to that. She doesn't want good looking people to be held accountable. Wanda did nothing wrong by blowing those people, Tony is a changed man so he did nothing wrong by making weapons that killed so many, Cap did nothing wrong by committing a literal crime and Bucky was mind controlled so he shouldn't be held accountable for any of his actions no matter how many people died.

[@dreadpirate3152]

SHEILD was dismantled in Winter Soldier, now the Avengers have disbanded in Civil War. Next up, Infinity War. Bring the tissues

[@dunringill1747]

FYI: Tony blames himself for Ultron but technically all Tony did was give him a name and a personality. The A.I. was built by Thanos who switched Ultron on & monitored the whole event from "Avengers: Age Of Ultron". FYI: Steve & Nat learned that Hydra killed Tony's parents in "CA: The Winter Soldier". Cap & Black Widow (Nat) were close friends. Off screen, it was clear they must have discussed & agreed to not tell Tony about Hydra killing his parents. Nat is extremely proficient at psychological profiling and Tony was her case study (IM 2). She knew Tony had been suffering emotionally and was a loose cannon. We can speculate that Cap would factor her input into his decision not to tell Tony. Neither of them knew the job was done by Brainwashed Bucky.

Zemo is one of the most effective "antagonists" in MCU history. And he's just a man. Nothing more. He's well trained and a special ops solider. But still a man only. And he brings the Avengers to their knees. Also Tony was not in the wrong at all. Any one of us would do the same to the person we found out killed our loved ones. It would take an extra human person to not want to rip them apart like Tony wanted (Black Panther is one such person in the movie). But like 95+% of people would do exactly what Tony did to Bucky. No real reason to blame him.

[@oxhine]

Hey, Colette! "Captain America: Civil War" is the jewel in the MCU's crown. It is also my favorite MCU movie. Although it is the third Captain America entry, this chapter in the saga is more of an Avengers-level event involving every major character except Thor, Hulk and Fury while introducing three new players into the mix including the team's most subtle and successful antagonist to date! The plot is loosely based on the landmark 2006 Marvel event comic "Civil War" by writer Mark Millar and artist Steve McNiven which saw the superhero community split ideologically into two factions led by Iron Man and Captain America over the Superhuman Registration Act following an unintentional incident of mass destruction with many civilian casualties perpetrated by well-meaning super-powered individuals. The government-sponsored Act requires registration of anyone with powers into a database for purposes of surveillance and accountability which, in some cases, means unmasking heroes with secret identities. In the film, the UN issues the Sokovia Accords subjecting the Avengers to international oversight in the wake of the chaos they've unleashed during their heroic exploits in Monaco, New Mexico, New York, Greenwich, Washington, D.C., Johannesburg, Seoul, Sokovia and, at the story's outset, in Lagos, Nigeria. The thought-provoking script presents two equally valid arguments the audience must wrestle with as much as the characters do culminating with a shattering revelation that irrevocably alters the MCU's status quo. The final, sobering twist of both comic and movie is that the victor wins the war but loses the argument. On the page, Cap wins but realizes the cost of victory and surrenders only to be assassinated. On the screen, Tony's legal victory results in the team's dissolution. Co-directors Joe and Anthony Russo return from "The Winter Soldier" bringing the grounded, gritty tonality of that film to this massive enterprise. The duo excel at staging intense and kinetic action sequences which, in this movie, all seem to unfold in two parts such as the Nigerian skirmish with Rumlow outside the lab and within the bazaar, the Romanian takedown of Bucky in the stairwell and on the freeway, the Austrian breakout of the Winter Soldier in the lobby and on the helipad, and the Siberian duel between Cap and Tony in the silo shaft and at its base. I love how the directors took pains to recreate the iconic image from the comic event of Iron Man firing his repulsors full-blast at Captain America bracing himself behind his shield. The incredible centerpiece at the German airport, though, outclasses them all and is arguably the best superhero fight ever seen in cinema as the Avengers split down the middle and engage in an all-out battle royale! Taking a page from the "X-Men" films, the combat in this sequence is predicated on coordinating and nullifying powers. Cap's strategic acumen also stands in bold relief against Tony's attempt at intimidation. Stark relies utterly on having the most sophisticated tech and the biggest guns yet Steve neatly outmaneuvers him at every turn! The screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely elegantly advances plot and develops character in each of those set pieces but also includes fantastic dialogue during expository scenes like Ross' ultimatum, the team's debate, Tony's olive branch, Zemo's monologue and the Panther's magnificently dignified introspection about vengeance. The cast is sprawling pulling from all the franchises to date except "Guardians of the Galaxy". Chris Evans returns as Steve Rogers aka Captain America whose motives are somewhat tainted this time around. He is joined by Sebastian Stan as James Buchanan 'Bucky' Barnes aka The Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson aka Falcon, Emily VanCamp as Peggy Carter's niece, Sharon Carter aka Agent 13, Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch and Frank Grillo as a maimed Brock Rumlow aka Crossbones. Robert Downey, Jr. returns as a Pepper-less Tony Stark aka Iron Man burdened with more guilt than ever. He is joined by Don Cheadle as Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes aka War Machine, Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow, Paul Bettany as Vision, Kerry Condon as FRIDAY and John Slattery as the elder Howard Stark. Johansson leaves the proceedings three-quarters of the way through to begin her own personal adventure in "Black Widow"! Initially introduced in "Thor", Jeremy Renner returns as Clint Barton aka Hawkeye, the sole representative of that franchise. Paul Rudd returns as Scott Lang aka Ant-Man from his own film only to unveil a second alter-ego, Giant Man! Returning from "The Incredible Hulk" is William Hurt as General Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross now in the role of Secretary of State. Chadwick Boseman is introduced as T'Challa aka Black Panther who emerges as the true hero of the piece. He is joined by John Kani as his father, King T'Chaka, Florence Kasumba as Ayo, one of his Dora Milaje, and Martin Freeman as CIA Agent Everett Ross. Tom Holland is introduced as Peter Parker aka Spider-Man with Marisa Tomei as the youngest version of Aunt May Parker yet. Daniel Bruhl slyly slinks his way through the film until his grand scheme is revealed as master manipulator Baron Helmut Zemo, here reframed as an ex-Sokovian intelligence officer. Two veteran actresses play mothers who alter Tony's trajectory at critical points in the story: Hope Davis portrays his mom, Maria Stark, while Alfre Woodard portrays grieving mom Miriam Spencer who saddles Stark with a major guilt trip. Gene Farber plays the Soviet-embedded Hydra Colonel Karpov who once served as the Winter Soldier's handler. In a bit part, Jim Rash of "Community" plays a wheedling MIT faculty member. TRIVIA: 1. The film's release year coincides with the 75th anniversary of Captain America, the 50th anniversary of Black Panther and the 10th anniversary of the Civil War event. 2. Sharon's eulogy is a verbatim quote by Captain America from Amazing Spider-Man 537 which, in turn, is based on sentiments expressed by Mark Twain in his essay "In A Republic, Who Is The Country?". 3. When Bucky wrests a motorcycle from under its rider and climbs aboard it during the freeway chase, the stunt was accomplished practically without use of CGI! 4. Chris Evans knew the helicopter wrangling scene was going to be used to promote the film and vigorously pumped iron for hours prior to shooting what he called his 'bicep porn' money shot. The angle he was positioned in as well as the considerable strain of flexing his arm to generate the huge bulge seen in the movie caused injury to his muscle. 5. Tony's "Underoos" summons of Spider-Man is in reference to a 1977 underwear line that featured superheroes on them the most popular of which was Spider-Man. 6. The female super-soldier in Siberia is played by Heidi Moneymaker who has been Scarlett Johansson's stunt double since "Iron Man 2". EASTER EGGS: 1. At the press conference held upon Tony's return from Afghanistan in "Iron Man", he opens with the line, "I never got to say goodbye to my father." During the B.A.R.F. holographic re-enactment of his parents' departure, Maria tells Tony to "say goodbye to your father" demonstrating the therapeutic use of the technology to achieve closure as well as recalling for the audience Tony's regret. 2. When Black Widow quips to Bucky that he could at least recognize her, she is referring to in-Universe encounters like the Odessa mission and the events of "The Winter Soldier" but it is also a nod to their comic book history for fans who are aware that the Winter Soldier trained the Black Widows. 3. When Ant-Man perches on the tip of Hawkeye's arrow awaiting to be sent into flight, the image is a direct reference to the cover art of Avengers 223! 4. 'Redwing' is what Sam calls his drone but, in the comics, Falcon is accompanied by an actual falcon called Redwing with whom he shares a telepathic link! 5. Steve exhaustedly tells Tony that he "can do this all day" during their final duel as a callback to his defiant boast against the back alley bully in "The First Avenger". CAMEOS: 1. Co-director Joe Russo appears as the slain psychiatrist Dr. Theo Broussard who is impersonated by Zemo. 2. Stan Lee appears as a FedEx delivery man carrying a package containing a flip phone programmed with Cap's contact number which he misreads as being addressed to Tony STANK. END-CREDIT SCENES: 1. In a state-of-the-art cryogenic facility, Bucky agrees to be frozen until he can be safely deprogrammed. Cap thanks T'Challa for offering his friend refuge but warns him that he may be leaving his nation vulnerable to anyone who might be seeking The Winter Soldier. The prince confidently replies, "Let them try.", as they look out the window onto the dense jungle of Wakanda above which towers a giant sculpture of Bast, the Panther Goddess. 2. In their Queens apartment, Aunt May tends to Peter's bruises as he downplays the fracas as a local run-in all the while concealing the smart suit's holographic menu display complete with Spider signal which he triggered on the web-shooter. The next chronological stop in the MCU is the film "Black Widow" MINUS the end-credit scene set in 2024. "Black Widow" begins after the scene where Tony warns her that Ross is coming to arrest her. "Black Panther" occurs a WEEK after "Civil War" and "Spider-Man: Homecoming" occurs TWO MONTHS after "Civil War". The back-half of "Doctor Strange" occurs the following year in 2017. The movies can be seen in this more accurate order without spoiling a thing.

@@bigdream_dreambig Steve's stance against the Accords are influenced by the events of "The Winter Soldier" which cause him to justifiably mistrust institutional authority.

Steve's zeal to protect Bucky isn't just because he learns his friend has been framed as a smokescreen for what he believes to be the revival of the Super-Soldiers. Steve doesn't want to lose the last link he has to the past fresh as he is from the loss of Peggy. He is human and his relationship with Bucky is deeply personal. He tells Wanda that Rumlow got under his skin by invoking Bucky and he admits to Tony in the letter that he withheld the truth about the Stark murders to spare himself from being at odds with Tony over Bucky. He is unable to be impartial about his friend and so his motives aren't purely rational. Although Feige and Whedon have debunked this theory by stating Cap was always worthy to lift Mjolnir and simply spared Thor's feelings by pretending to be unable to do so in "Age of Ultron", in my head-canon he actually was unable to get more than a wobble out of the hammer because of the lie about Bucky he was keeping from Tony. It was the sole blemish on his pure soul.

@@oxhine Thanks for the explanation of your thoughts. 👍 And regardless of the underlying reason, I do agree with you: Steve wasn't able to lift the Hammer in Ultron. He's not the type to dissemble, nor would he later have been as shocked as the others when Vision picked it up if he'd been pretending, himself.

Everyone always forgets that Ultron was Tony’s fault, so Sokovia was ultimately on him(and also Banner for helping)

[@farlonmuentes6004]

i love ironman the most of all mcu characters but I can't deny that he is ultimately at fault there. ultron just acted logically from what he saw from human history and tony gave him that power to see what humans did throughout the centuries and also gave him the ability to act on it.

People tend to not think it through because they don't realize that even with 'proper supervision', the innocents still die in NY and Sokovia. Big battles can't be fought in highly populated areas, or accidental casualties can't be avoided. Accords can't stop that. Tony never thought it through, which is thoroughly Hollywood because Tony Stark would never miss something that obvious.

[@sanaa107]

yeah, but I still think Cap is not right. I think they're both right on their own, but Cap knew who killed Stark's parents and he didn't tell him. That's why I'm more on Stark's side

[@noodle_fc]

The point of his confrontation with Charlie's mother is that Tony isn't thinking rationally. When Steve says, "this document only shifts the blame"-that is exactly what Tony wants, although he might not admit so in those words. He feels guilty for creating Ultron-not for nothing, Steve tried to stop him from doing so-and the Accords offer a way to distance himself from future responsibility. I don't know enough of the comics to say how that aligns, but in the MCU I think Tony's actions are squarely founded in the emotional arc they've created for his character.

[@flatebo1]

With "proper supervision" NYC dies in nuclear fire. The Winter Soldier had "proper supervision". The same supervision that SHIELD had - HYDRA. Cap asked "What if they won't let us go where we need to go? What if they send us someplace we don't want to go?" That's what HYDRA did to Bucky. They took away his ability to choose. Just as the Accords would take away the Avengers' (and every other super's) ability to choose. The Accords turns every super into a Winter Soldier. As I have pointed out elsewhere Bucky is the living embodiment of the Accords. He is exactly what the Accords are trying to make everyone else into - a perfectly obedient weapon. Ross even refers to both Thor and Hulk as "weapons of mass destruction". Because to him, that's what they are. They aren't people. They're just tools he can use to get what he wants. And guys like Ross are the ones who would be in charge of the Avengers under the Accords. Steve opposes the Accords because he understands the moral abomination that the Accords creates. He understands that Bucky *is* the Accords. But the problem with the Accords doesn't lie with Bucky. It lies with the people controlling Bucky. It lies with their power to control Bucky. Which is why Steve spends the entire movie protecting Bucky, i.e. protecting the living embodiment of the Accords. So, what do the "proper authorities", the very ones who would be in charge of the Avengers under the Accords, do when they suspect Bucky blew up the UN meeting? They immediately issued a "kill on sight" order. Their response wasn't to bring Bucky to trial. It wasn't to find out who ordered Bucky to make the hit. They ordered an immediate assassination based solely on preliminary evidence. This is the "proper authority" that will responsibly supervise the Avengers? Stark, though, doesn't care about morality. He cares about results. And he sees the Accords as a foregone conclusion, as an inevitability. (Just as he saw AI as an inevitability in Age of Ultron and thought to himself "Why wait to think through the implications of creating an AI, why bother giving the matter any serious thought, why bother even considering installing any safeguards when I can just whip one up right now on the fly. I'm sure nothing could possibly go wrong desoite my very long track record of making very bad impromptu decision.") And apparently the very same guy who told the United States government to kick rocks when they threatened to take over his Iron Man tech just immediately caved when the UN threatened to do the same. In order to assuage his guilt for the deaths caused by Ultron. Stark was willing to buy into the idea that moral responsibility for his actions can be shifted to others, to the oversight panel. It can't. Because he would still be morally responsible for choosing to obey the panel. Steve understands that you cannot shift responsibility for your choices onto another person. Stark does not. And, as a result of all this, the forces seeking to impose the Accords, the forces seeking to enforce the Accords spend the entire movie...trying to murder Bucky. Trying to punish Bucky for a crime he did not commit. No investigation. No trial. No verdict. Instead they spend the entire movie trying to murder the one man who is the living avatar of the Accords. Because the "proper authority" told them to. In the end, when Steve and Stark face off over Bucky, Steve points out that Bucky can have no moral responsibility for the murder to Stark's parents. Because HYDRA stole from him his ability to refuse. Just as Zemo did. Bucky's body might have done the deed, but Bucky did not. The people who ordered the hit are responsible for Howard and Maria's deaths. And what is Tony's response? "I don't care." And then he tries to murder Bucky. Again. (Different reasons, but still....) Tony Stark is grossly immoral throughout this movie. He exploits people for his own ends. He refuses moral accountability for his own actions. He lies, bullies and manipulates others to get what he wants. Consider how he recruits Parker. Pete says "When you can do the things I can do, but you don't, then when the bad things happen, they happen because of you." This exactly parallels Steve asking "What if the panel won't let us to where we should? What if they send us where we shouldn't be?" He asks because if they obey the panel in either case, when the bad things happen, they happen because the Avengers chose to obey orders. Not because they chose to do the right thing. Consider how he treats Wanda. She is not under arrest. She is charged with no crime whatsoever. Yet he confines her to his estate, enforced by Vision, an android created (sorta) by Stark from JARVIS, his butler AI. This is literally kidnapping. Which brings up the question of whether Vision is even capable of disobeying Stark. JARVIS may have been snarky, but he never refused an order from Stark. Nor has Vision. We may sympathize with Stark because of how his parents died. But none of that excuses how Stark acts. Well, this has gone on long enough and I'm too tired to stay awake much longer, so I'll end this here.

The paper in the shoes was not to make Steve look taller but because they were poor, Steve had shoes that were too big. In old times, during depression and after the World Wars especially or if you were poor, you used old shoes as much as possible. If they were too big you stuffed news paper in them to make them fit better by filling the empty space. The guilt... Intresting aspect the guilt is that even you know you should not feel guilt or you did as much you could... You still feel guilt. You go again those times and think maybe if I could have done differently. tried harder, gone bit further... You still feel guilty, that's a prison. Knowing that its not your fault doesn't make immune to guilt. I personally feel guilty things that happened so many years ago and I feel guilty things I did not do but that's life. Maybe this why this movie hits me so much thru Tony. Colette hold your spirit and optimism as long as possible. It makes your reaction so good and enjoyable. I know I feel old. I was your age when I saw first person die front of my face. That changes your life. Keep your optimism. Do not relinquish that if possible, not even if people call your naive or something.

Thank you, it was nice to see it with you, in a different time, in a different space, but it was enjoyable :)

[@MrKingYuji]

The film is called Civil War because it’s loosely based on the very popular comic book series Marvel’s Civil War. The government wants the superhero community to reveal their secret identities after collateral damage: Team Cap is against it because it’s unconstitutional, Team Iron Man is for it out of guilt. The comic book series involved the entire Marvel universe, but the film used Bucky as the main point of conflict to fit the story into the Captain America franchise. But a lot of scenes in this film are directly from the panels: Antman on Hawkeye’s arrow, and the freeze frame of Cap blocking Iron Man’s blast with his shield.

[@timokampwerth1996]

The entire plot is one giant exercise in insanity. The Accords blame the Avengers for problems they had no hand in causing. Loki's attack: Shield's work with the Tessaract allowed Thanos to find it. Winder Soldier: Cap and friends dismanteled Hydra on the Brink of gaining world domination Ultron: Ultrom formed spontaniously during analysis. Nobody was trying to Create it (Tony was going to eventually but he wasn't doing it yet) and even Thor was fine with analysing the gem. Add to that, the entire conflict wouldn't even exist if Cap didn't behave like a stubborn 5 year old. Aside from not telling Tony about Bucky, the other winter soldiers and his parents' assassination, he actually gets mad at Tony for arraging house arrest for Wanda over a spot in Prison. If Steve had just sat down with Tony and be honest with him, none of this would have happened.

Yeah there is nothing Civil about War, but it was the tearing of the team apart that was the "bad guy's goal" and part of the reason it worked was they both had valid points.

some facts very important :- in age of Ultron captain America tried to lift Thor's hammer and there was a shake it was because of the fact that what tony get to know that Steve Rogers knew Bucky killed his parents & didn't told this to tony about it anyday & mjolnir wasn't accepting him he wasn't clear from his heart and not absolutely worthy to wield the hammer.... but if you recognise when tony said you were friend & so was i captain rogers actually didn't want to hurt him before saying that bucky killed em and obviously bucky was his friend.

21:00 -- RE: Why did Tony pick the Accords?; A: He gives a good synopsis for everything which has caused issues for the world and his relationship with Pepper, but... I think Tony is way too easily manipulated and he might never be able to really see it. He clearly says Ultron was his fault, but the Audience knows Loki's Staff and the Mind Stone were probably more to blame than him. Tony's Suit is a false sense of security because his Mind is probably more dangerous. That's why SHIELD put Black Widow right next to him back in Iron Man 2.
