Why does Captain America make almost no effort to tell anyone about Bucky's mind-control, especially during the last fight? Why does Cap spend the last fight acting like he expects Tony to be completely rational and is completely at fault for not being so five minutes after seeing his parents killed by someone standing right next to him? Why does Ross trust Tony Stark of all people to lead the capture of Captain America? Why doesn't anyone just TALK about the IMPORTANT things in this IdiotPlot of a movie? Because Zemo released a toxin into the air of the city, or its water supply, or just the Avengers' and other officials' coffee, that made them all lose massive chunks of their common sense and empathy.

Confirming wmg


The leaked early marketing art showed Sharon fighting alongside Cap's Avengers in place of Scarlet Witch, and she also appears on some of the officially released art and packaging as well, leading many to believe that she is a major part of the movie and a key player on Team Cap . Despite this, she only appears for a split second in the first trailer, is ''completely'' absent from the big Super Bowl TV spot, doesn't appear to be present at the big airport showdown, and wasn't even included in the emoticon promotion Marvel ran for the movie on Twitter. Does that sound like the type of marketing Disney and Marvel would do for someone who is supposedly a main character?

[[WMG:HYDRA orchestrated everything about the Accords and Zemo's plot as retaliation for the failure of Project Insight]]

The whole issue of the Sokovia Accords is suspect. Think about it. They’re named the ''Sokovia'' Accords, so obviously a byproduct of what happened in Novi Grad, but if you actually stop to think about it, are they really about Novi Grad?

Let's set aside the fact that Zemo’s plan was entirely dependent upon events happening in a particular order at a particular time, but look all of the other things that led up to the introduction of the Accords in that scene with Ross. First, we have Brock Rumlow, a known HYDRA agent, come out of two years of hiding and attempt a very public attack on the IFID Headquarters, necessitating a special ops team of enhanced humans to be sent to stop him. The mission was a success, but with heavy civilian casualties, which is the type of thing to make the news.

Enter Thaddeus Ross with these Accords, a document that calls for the literal regisistration and containment of enhanced individuals that so many people back, coincidentally just after an incident involving an enhanced individual (Wanda Maximoff).

Now consider that these Accords were drafted and agreed upon by 117 countries within a year of what happened in Sokovia. This is highly suspicious, because most members of the UN Security Council can’t agree on what to have for lunch, let alone something that would affect everyone in such a monumental way. But, somehow, all of these countries, some of which can’t stand each other and will disagree on an issue just on principle, all came together within a year to create these Accords? Add to that the fact that the mother of an American citizen that died in Novi Grad just happened to bypass all of Tony Stark’s security to guilt him for his royal fuck-up that cost her son his life? Something doesn't add up.

What's more likely is that HYDRA had something in the works after Project Insight went belly up. There was a plot, orchestrated by HYDRA over several decades, beaten back in the span of one afternoon by one enhanced individual and four of his allies (Steve, Sam, Natasha, Sharon, and Fury). Five people, tops, took down one of the world’s most powerful intelligence organizations in a literal afternoon.

As shown by Strucker's activities and ''Ant-Man'', not all of HYDRA's many heads died with Pierce. With Pierce dead, these other top figures who managed to avoid detection and hold onto their power came up with an idea to contain and control the Avengers so that something like this couldn’t happen again. The only problem was, how would they put that into effect? The Avengers were praised as heroes by the press for stopping the alien invasion of Manhattan and for preventing its total destruction by a nuclear warhead. Can’t use that as an excuse, because nothing unites humanity more than an external threat. Can’t use what happened in D.C. either, because all those files were leaked to the public, so the world now knows about how HYDRA, under the guise of the World Security Council and S.H.I.E.L.D., was manipulating the world to create a system that would tolerate authoritarian rule.

So what then? What could they possibly use as a catalyst to introduce these Accords?

Simple: Tony Stark, his massive ego and the creation of a genocidal robot.

Obviously, HYDRA had no way of planning it. But they saw an opportunity for what it was and didn’t look the gift horse in the mouth.

Now Sokovia has fallen, resulting in massive casualties, and some ambassador or politician was able to use that opportunity to present the Accords, which a lot of those 117 signing countries were quick to agreed to, because a fair number of those signitories are dictatorships run by power-hungry tyrants who probably don't want the Avengers sneaking into their country and exposing their darkest, dirtiest secrets to the world. Obviously not everyone had a horrible agenda, but power corrupts and the United States was probably ''not'' the only country that looked into human enhancement for their military use.

Now, how to bring this all together after the fact (because there's no way someone just waltzed into the UN headquarters in New York the day after Sokovia and presented a three hundred page document)? Simple, you use one of your old agents (Rumlow) in an attempt to draw out the Avengers in the hopes that something will go wrong, as things often do in combat situations. Keep the “threat” of enhanced individuals fresh in the public mind.

It's just as likely that HYDRA also had a hand in orchestrating Zemo’s move against the Avengers. Obviously not directly. They didn’t give him orders and he followed them without question, no. But they helped with getting him the right files on the Winter Soldier to decrypt, making sure that he found them after what happened to his family. Remember that HYDRA had a strong presence in Sokovia, so they probably had files on Sokovian intelligence, the same way they had files on the Avengers themselves. HYDRA could use this whole situation (Zemo trying to use the Winter Solider to take down the Avengers) to knock off quite a few birds with one stone: not only do they split the Avengers (because they had to know Steve would never sign the Accords and would also do anything to protect Bucky) but they flush out their most prominent weapon over the last fifty years out of hiding, either to have Bucky eliminated (this erasing any chance his actions might be traced back to them) or containment, which would get a Winter Soldier back in their hands to use as they see fit.

In addition to being one of the major Pro-Reg players in the original story (Well, a Skrull posing as him), the Comic-Con teaser for ''Film/AntMan'' features Pym saying that he considers superheroes to be a "goddamn joke". Assuming he survives the events of ''Ant-Man'', he may be a major advocate for making sure superheroes are kept under stricter supervision. On the other hand, in Ant-Man Hank made it clear that he doesn't like or trust Tony Stark or S.H.I.E.L.D.

Let's assume for a moment that the film will have a similar ending to the comics. The Pro-Accord side wins, but [[TheHeroDies Captain America dies]], with Franchise/SpiderMan ditching Stark for the Anti-Accords. This will cause the general public to become so disgusted with Iron Man that it leads to his team of Avengers receiving a ZeroPercentApprovalRating, causing many superhumans to become to afraid to Register or Reveal themselves. Eventually, "Street Level" Superheroes Such as Series/Daredevil2015, Series/LukeCage2016, Series/{{Iron Fist|2017}}, Film/AntMan, and Cap's teammates will become [[Myth/RobinHood Robin Hood-esque figures]] in the MCU. The fallout of this populatity shift will be dealt with in the Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Captain Marvel movies, before the studio moves on to [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Infinity War.]]

While it's true that the MCU needs the Avengers, it is clear that the Civil War created a hostility between Steve and Tony that won't be able to mend in a single film. Because of this, [[Film/CaptainMarvel Carol Danvers]] will take initiative and [[Main/TheLeader lead]] a group of heroes that will be able to protect Earth should someone like [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Thanos]] threaten it. These heroes are:

This would go worlds to explaining Hawkeye's otherwise erratic behavior and anger in the movie. Kind, responsible, family man Clint Barton would not pressure Wanda to get herself in more trouble no matter what he thought of the Accords...unless he had reason to believe the government holding her was completely corrupt and evil. Being threatened by Ross would also explain why he was furious enough to taunt Tony about Rhodey's broken back ("If you turn your back on Tony Stark, chances are he'll break it!"), something Clint Barton would normally be the last person to do.

[[WMG: Zemo was not the only one manipulating the Avengers.]]
* Thaddeus Ross was clearly just waiting for an excuse to put those superheroes he hates so much in that raft prison. And who in their right mind would put Tony Stark in charge of the mission to capture Captain America, even if Tony did volunteer? (Tony is brilliant and a cinnamon roll, but for that specific mission, the last person you'd want to be in charge.) Perhaps Ross knew of Tony and Steve's rocky relationship and both's stubborn and erratic natures, and let Tony lead the mission specifically to see it go the worst way possible.
* And then there's Sharon Carter. This video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU3InsThiXw lays it out, but for those who don't feel like watching the whole thing: everything Sharon says and does in the movie propels Captain America to oppose the law, from the speech she gives at Pegg's funeral (while making direct eye contact with Steve) to delivering Steve and Sam their equipment so they can fight the law. The out-of-nowhere romance could easily be a spy taking advantage of a lonely, stressed-out, traumatized man. What Sharon's motives for helping to cause this "civil war" are, is anyone's guess. She may have been a villain in league with Zemo; or she may simply have been doing her job as a secret agent, acting on orders from a government who wanted the Avengers disassembled (Ross, perhaps).
* As other theories have pointed out, Thanos may also have been involved.
* Basically, the Avengers' actions make far more sense if there were extra layers of manipulation causing them to distrust each other.

[[WMG: The letter with the flip-phone was ''not'' the first letter Steve sent Tony after the Siberia fight.]]

Multiple viewers who've dealt with various types of abuse find that letter to be a textbook example of a "fake apology" from someone trying to shift blame away from themselves, trying to avoid the issue they're supposedly apologizing for, and build themselves up as the victim and martyr. ''However,'' this changes completely if one presumes that this letter was ''not'' Steve's apology at all, but simply a follow-up to it. Between Siberia and the "Tony Stank" scene, Cap sent a letter, or multiple letters, where he gave a genuine apology and explanation to Tony about why he kept his parents' murders from him. Whatever reasons Cap gave apparently weren't enough to get Tony back on speaking terms with him, but Cap did at least try. The movie just didn't show us it.
