What's wild is that Tony & Steve had an interesting perspective on their respective stances: -Tony was the one confronted by the mother of one of the victims in Sokovia. He literally had to stare down someone who blamed HIM for her son's death due to the events of Ultron. No other Avenger was there alongside him to share in that blame/guilt. -Steve was on the run from S.H.I.E.L.D. in Winder Solider and learned he couldn't trust the government due to Hydra's infiltration. Sam & Natasha were along for the ride in this one, but remember Steve had such a belief in his country and the powers that be prior to even gaining his superhuman abilities. He woke up in a world not like the one he remembers and his allegiance to his country was shattered after that movie (and even more in Civil War). I have no doubt he would easily be the one most against the Accords due to NOT wanting the government to be in charge of the Avengers because for all they know there are other Hydra operatives in the ranks! Both could be described as 'selfish' with their actions. You could say Steve was in terms of protecting Bucky, BUT that really has nothing to do with the Accords themselves. He was against them even before Black Panther's father was murdered. Tony was projecting HIS guilt for the events of Age of Ultron onto everyone else and it wasn't fair! In the long run, he was right about Wanda though... Tony was self projecting in a 'Tony knows best...' kinda way and it didn't work...

To be fair though, Tony is the only one that should be confronted with that blame and guilt, HE created Ultron.

[@veyarain82]

Not to mention the Sokovia Accords were a blatant violation of human rights built on a political pipe dream. The world governments acted on knee-jerk prejudice and fear out of the legitimately destructive collateral damage of war being waged among civilians and turned around creating a set of mostly unenforcable rules that treated all enhanced persons, innocent or not, like second-class citizens at best and - how was it Stark phrased it? - weapons of mass destruction instead of people at worst. The worst part was you know they weren’t ever consulted in the creation of those Accords. No one tried to work with them to find a solution that bred respect and safety for all, no one considered the extreme danger those Accords would put enhanced people in, no one considered them at all except as threats to be chained and controlled, regardless of if they actually proved themselves to be dangerous. That’s not okay. The clause effectively saying they could be imprisoned without trial if they were read as a threat (read: if someone twitchy got a little spooked by them even if they did nothing wrong), is just abhorrent. It opens the door to unchecked witch hunts, and that’s exactly what followed. Unenhanced people absolutely deserve security assurances, but not like that. Those Accords needed to have been scrapped and remade with equal voices from day one. Stark had absolutely no way of knowing or understanding how this would impact the enhanced people it targeted and true to character, he didn’t even try to understand. He reacted on impulse out of guilt and dragged everyone around him down as a result. Team Cap all the way.

Thank you!!!! I am so sick of this debate, especially when all the Tony supports bring up the end fight with no context of the entire movie. As if Cap and Bucky were jumping him for no reason. Not to mention, during the whole fight, both Cap and Bucky were not trying to kill Tony or for any death blows while Tony nearly took Bucky's head off at least 3 times and blew his arm off making him a cripple. Watch the fight closely, and you can see Cap and Bucky just disabling Tony's suit. Also, on Twitter, it's crazy that people want to mention Bucky trying to rip out the Arc reactor, and they think that will kill Tony. Like, these people clearly don't watch the MCU because Tony took care of that problem in Ironman 3. Ripping the Arc reactor out would just disable the suit, not kill Tony. The only thing Cap did wrong was not tell Tony, but also when would've been a good time for that? Winter Soldier was 2014, and Civil War was 2016, and in between that they had to deal with Ultron in 2015. What was Steve gonna do? Invite Tony over for steaks and say, "You know my best friend Bucky? Well, Hydra brainwashed him and made him an assasin who killed over 200 people, including JFK and your parents. Want some steak sauce with that?" Tony acted out of anger, and Cap/Bucky acted out of defense but were not trying to kill Tony, but Tony was trying to kill Bucky. Cap was right.

Yeah, its also interesting how the whole thing in Civil War is started by a woman confronting Tony over her son's death in Segovia. She says that she wants him to face the consequences but hasn't got any legal means of making sure that happens. Its almost the same with Zemo (though I am not one of those "actually Zemo isn't bad" peopl since he murdered innocents in pursuit of his goals). I think Tony was more interested in making it *look* like he was being held accountable, even if that meant throwing others under the bus, then actually *being* accountable. It is basically the easy way out though as it costs him nothing really. it is others who have to suffer and make sacrifices. The not wanting to be responsible or held responsible does seem to be a shared personality trait, but God help you if you hurt Tony. Also not seeming to care about consequences for others.

I might've been alone in it but I was 100% team Captain America. I've always respected his perspective of "holding a gun to people's head isn't creating peace, but fear" and Steve was absolutely right that if higher powers control them then they have to obey their orders above doing what is right is the accords went through. From the perspective of Tony, who has never had a leash and desperately wishes he had one, he doesn't know what that feels like. Meanwhile Steve, who's thought of himself as a dancing monkey, understands what this means. The answer, in my opinion, was not that they needed a leash, they needed a netting. Something that protected the general public from them, which was what S.H.I.E.L.D. was supposed to be in the first place. They should've done everything they could to unite and make something to protect the public from THEM without putting a leash on. That's my two cents though.

Tony really did like to do whatever Tony wanted and ignored anything to the contrary. His betrayal of the accords makes his betrayal of the rest of the Avengers that much worse.

He had a momentary feeling of guilt, shifting that guilt onto everyone else, made sure they signed their freedom away, and then just ignored the accords himself. What an ass.

[@Wedgekree]

Ultimately what gets me a lot about Tony here is his hypocricy. If he had abided by said Accords at least he would have believed in them. But the fact at the first moment of convenience he specifically broke them shows how little he cared for them. There's also very much the way he introduced them to the team. It was already negotiated, he gave them no real time to review the accords (we see what are clearly several hundred pages) and have an honest discussion before he's applying a lot of pressure to them (and mild threats). If the Accords were necessary and an issue, then Tony should have gotten together with the team, they should all have sat down with the Security Council (or whomever had jurisdiction) and negotiated it amongst them all. Not him just dropping it on all of them with no real time to actually read the materials and demand they agree to it. There's also him working in concert with Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross who wanted to vivisect his science bro Bruce but that's ane ntirely different concern here.

The American people throughout the Marvel comics were skeptical of capes even on a good day and outright wanted Spider-Man shot on a bad one. In the MCU we have no mutants let alone a Magneto to royally fuck up mutant-human relations, Spider-Man films are awful at world building so we really don't have a clearer picture of what the wider public think of Spider-Man post Civil War, and Spider-Man being involved has no where near as much weight as him just revealing his identity to the public after decades worth of comic history to tug on. The Inhumans and Namor along with Atlantis got horribly botched by Marvel Studios so let's not even try to pretend any of that actually happened, so that just leaves existential Avengers level threats and the Hulk's outburst in Age of Ultron to really have any argument for registration. Still a fair argument to be had, but the registration act doesn't have as much weight behind it as it does in the comics from my perspective.

Not to mention how almost his entire team was only helping for their own personal reasons, the only guy on Team Iron Man that was just there to help Tony was Rhodey. Meanwhile all of Team Cap were there out of genuine loyalty to Steve.

[@englishlady9797]

@@topspinbot5777 First, good motives don't justify bad deeds. Most of the worst atrocities in history were committed by people who had good motives. Just because Tony might have had good reasons to create Ultron it doesn't change the fact he created a genocidal murder bot and his actions caused millions of deaths in Segovia. Cap didn't make him create Ultron. It's honestly wild that you're trying to blame Ultron on anyone except him when even Bruce was even opposed to the idea. Tony also created Ultron because he wanted to be the saviour and to be seen as such. That's end hubris and egotism. Again Wanda didn't force him. He was determined to "save the day" and be the hero. He created a weapon because he thought the enemy had a bigger weapon. That doesn't make him creating a weapon right or good. And Ultron is Tony. He is Tony's saviour complex taken to it's most extreme form. Save humanity from itself by destroying humanity. Same with Thanos. His motivation was to save the universe because he'd seen his own people die out. It's not hard to cross the line from wanting to save people into killing. 9/10 times his saviour complex backfired and caused more deaths because he didn't consider the consequences. He only learns when someone who has lost a family member directly confronts him. Or when someone tries to kill him in revenge. It's like in Iron Man I and II. When the government try to hold him to account for selling weapons to terrorists (which makes him complicit in thier actions) his response is to say "I'm protecting you from something worse and you should be grateful". Classic egomaniac. No, the belief you are protecting people does not justify you making and selling things which are going to be used to murder innocent people. Tony refused to acknowledge the consequences of what he was doing. It wasn't until those consequences came back to haunt him in the form of Wanda that he acted. Wanda is a good example of a person driven by desperation to side with those they think will help them against the person who harmed them. She's literally the kid who lost everything due to the actions of rich Americans and then said Americans can't understand why she doesn't view them as a hero. It's a huge stretch to say Zemo didn't hate Tony too and for similar reasons to Wanda. He blamed Steve and Tony in Equal measure for his family's deaths. He didn't show Tony the video out of the kindness of his heart. And the only reason HYDRA still existed was because of Howard Stark and thier infiltration of SHIELD. One year earlier Tony was funding those Nazis and the Avengers were working for them. Did you forget that? Some other examples are Tony was using the tesseract to generate electricity, which bought Loki to earth. Thor was trying to stop him. He didn't cause the Battle of New York. He was trying to stop it. Tony's father recruited Nazi scientists who infiltrated SHIELD. That wasn't Cap's fault, yet it fell to him and Natasha to stop Project Insight. The Battle of Harleem was due to Ross creating Abomination. Tony is literally siding with him to prevent it happening again? You can't see the problem with that? Can we also mention how screwed up it was for him to side with Ross after everything Ross did to Bruce? That's not how you treat a friend. The other Avengers were usually trying to fix Tony's muck ups or those caused by his father. The destruction which inadvertently resulted from that was not going to be solved by pandering to corrupt and power hungry politicians like Ross. The very same people who wanted to use enhanced people for thier own evil ends to begin with. Or throwing the people you screwed over in the first place under the bus. Or backstabbing your friends by siding with the people who tried to kill them. Holding the Avengers to account wasn't a bad idea but as when everything else the way Tony went about it was bad. The people he made himself beholden to were also bad. Also it's wild that you try to use trauma to justify Tony's actions when you're 100% in favour of him murdering Bucky, who not only had PTSD but was also captured and tortured by the guy Howard Stark recruited even though Howard knew he was a war criminal who had experimented on US servicemen. Or even considering Wanda also had PTSD. By your standards her actions are justified too.

He’s flawed. he believed that he was the only person who could pull off saving the world, who should save the world (and yes, it’s partly out of ego, I will admit that). He sees himself as a sinner who should put his life on the line ( aka “lay on the wire”) to save the people.

What I like about this dispute is the figureheads for both sides actually have their real identities known across the world already. So they are both acting on what they personally believe is right for the sake of everyone else. Steve Rogers would be unaffected by the registration act personally because Steve Rogers doesn't really have a fleshed out civilian life at this point in the movies so Steve Rogers and his Superhero persona blend together almost seamlessly. Compared to Peter Parker/Spiderman who has to balance his life according to 2 identities. Some heroes pick the side of cap for reasons of maintaining a private life outside of superhero work so a lot of them are motivated for selfish reasons. For the most part I am team Cap since he acknowledges the corruption in government organisations and providing intel to an organisation like that is a risk. I also don't really see the benefit of legally mandating registration since the most problematic superpowered people or villains are going to want to keep their abilities secret regardless of the law. This would mean that law abiding superpowered people would be known while superpowered people who disregard the law still fly under the radar anyway.
