Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

Sokovia is a bad comparation because Tony and Banner(and wanda in some extend) are guilty(or responsable) of that happeing in the first place and they only got to save so many people because of the Helicarrer-ex-machina in the middle of the fight.
Sure thing could got different but that way Cap argument could have more weight, as he got distracted long enough to Crossbone to blow himself up and is only thanks to wanda he is breathing right there(which is why I dont blame Wanda that much for Lagos, is more is fault than anything)

Yep. So like I said, break his hands and crack him over the head. Or at the least, make sure he's unconscious. Unless he's knocked unconscious while in the middle of putting his finger on the trigger, there's no issue.
The bomb went off because Crossbones was conscious and Cap got talked into a stupid conversation about Bucky. He was doing just fine up to that point.

You are assuming that Cap's fist is faster than Crossbones' finger and it isn't.

Punching someone fast enough to stop them from hitting a switch would be far from his most absurd feat so I'm really not seeing the improbability.
But mostly at this point I'm just taking a piss because I find the idea that Cap could not have possibly done anything in this situation to be silly when he himself admits textually that he bears some responsibility because he let Crossbones distract him. That's not supposition it's what he literally says in the movie.

Well then do the smart thing and blame Tony Stark and Matt Murdock.
Don't worry. No one will call you on it. Those two are awful.
Those are the words of a guilty man. Sometimes we say that we should've done something when, really, there was nothing to do.
Crossbones did something nobody expected; don't act like Cap had any prior knowledge of the bomb or he was fast enought to break his hand. Cap was surprised, he TRIED to stop him, but hey, Crossbones finger was barely a couple centimeters away from the button.
This is why we have Tony Stark and Matt Murdock.
They suck anyway, so just blame them. I'm sure we can think of some way for it to be their faults.
Especially that first one.
One Strip! One Strip!Now I just want Spider-Man and Captain America to get into a screaming match over which of them is really at fault for the Chitauri Invasion.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Petey legitimately believes that if anything bad happens around him, it's his fault for not stopping it. Even if there was realistically no way for him to do so, he'll conclude that it only happened because he failed to be better.
He could punch out Thanos, singlehandedly take down the Chitauri, and solve world hunger at the same time, thus saving the Earth for centuries to come, but if some debris falls on a cat in the process he's a failure.

There was a good scene in the Revenge of the Sinister Six book where he tried to go on one of his typical guilt sprees and the person he was talking with told him to cut that shit out.
And then told him that it was not a bonding moment.
Forever liveblogging the Avengers
