Weird. Could've sworn there was something about that here already. But yeah, Team Cap even in-story aren't as bad as the characters make them out to be. But a good number of the narrators have reason to hate them so they view everything more negatively.
Added DiffLines:
** Many of the former SHIELD operatives who join SI view Natasha and Steve through the harshest lens due to the pair unintentionally ruining their lives. They generally consider the pair to be incredibly self-absorbed and arrogant rather than simply having made a (arguably poor) snap decision in a stressful situation. The former agents also view anyone on "Team Captain America" in a similarly negative light, if not to the same extent.

This or these examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected, or something is just an innate aspect of the setting or character that has a logical reason for being present); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread

** Because he's the only Avenger willing to deal with the media, Tony Stark becomes the face of the Avengers, which also ties his company to the Avengers. As a result, the events of each film are nightmares for Stark Industries legal and PR departments, especially with the various Avengers not helping at best and actively making things worse at worst.
** Despite some of the Avengers treating the two as functionally interchangeable, from a political perspective, War Machine and Iron Man are almost complete opposites. Tony Stark is one of the bigwigs (and former CEO) of one of the biggest multinational companies on the planet and a private citizen so he can often enter foreign countries if for no other reason than Stark Industries having holdings there. In such cases, he can use PlausibleDeniability to claim he had his Iron Man armor in case of emergency and just happened to end up using it. James Rhodes however, is a colonel in the United States Air Force and his War Machine armor is considered a military asset. If he enters a foreign country in his armor without authorization, it's technically an act of war, just the same as if he flew a fighter jet in and started blowing things up in a fight. As a result, there's a lot of paperwork involved in non-emergency deployments for Rhodey and emergency deployments have almost as much paperwork, just with most of it done afterwards.
** When T'Challa demands justice for the Vienna bombing, Tony reminds him that Wakanda's isolationism means they have no extradition treaties with anyone. Instead, Austria or Romania would get custody of Bucky Barnes for his crimes (at least until JARVIS exonerates Bucky of the bombing).

Misuse. SRO explicitly can't be about character reactions (Tony's regrets, people distrusting Wanda, HYDRA torturing SHIELD agents, or those agents' reactions to said torture) or "realistic" unreal events (how an hour-old robot with an adult-like mind would "really" work), and things that don't actually happen (Thor killing Tony with a Neck Lift).

Just because some people do take grudges that far doesn't change anything. Some people survive falling five miles out of a plane. It's still very realistic for Tony to cool down and realize he went too far.

In such cases, he can use PlausibleDeniability to claim he had his Iron Man armor in case of emergency and just happened to end up using it. James Rhodes however, is a colonel in the United States Air Force and his War Machine armor is considered a military asset. If he enters a foreign country in his armor without authorization, it's technically an act of war, just the same as if he flew a fighter jet in and started blowing things up in a fight. As a result, there's a lot of paperwork involved in non-emergency deployments for Rhodey and emergency deployments have almost as much paperwork, just with most of it done afterwards.
** In the tie-in story ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/12212190/chapters/27735978 From the Other Side]]'', many former SHIELD agents end up suffering from PTSD after being captured and interrogated by HYDRA and other enemy agencies due to Natasha dumping all of SHIELD's files online. While some of the agents who don't return to SHIELD do so out of bitterness, others are just too traumatized to carry on being secret agents.
*** Those same agents often intellectually acknowledge that destroying SHIELD was an effective way to stop HYDRA, but still hate Natasha and Steve for deciding the lot of them were an acceptable loss (though a later chapter reveals Natasha outright hadn't thought of what'd happen to them).
** When T'Challa demands justice for the Vienna bombing, Tony reminds him that Wakanda's isolationism means they have no extradition treaties with anyone. Instead, Austria or Romania would get custody of Bucky Barnes for his crimes (at least until JARVIS exonerates Bucky of the bombing).
** After delivering a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to Steve and Bucky in Siberia, Tony regrets taking things as far as he did, particularly with Bucky whom he knows isn't truly responsible for killing his parents. [[spoiler:He also needs new clothes ass his normal attire isn't fireproof]].
