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.

Tony was giving his weapons to the government, and those ended up in the hands of terrorists (really more Stane's fault than anyone else, but he's dead, so lets blame Tony some more).
He's probably afraid such a thing will happen again. Also note that when he gave Shield Arc Reactor tech, they turned out to be infiltrated by Hydra.
That's also his fault for helping Hydra.
That teenager is more responsible than he is...kind of.
At least he tries, and hopefully, he'll have better luck at being responsible than Tony is.
I'd trust Peter over the vast majority of MCU Government.
One Strip! One Strip!One thing that's interesting to note is that he may be the only person in the MCU more privileged than Tony Stark. Both are ridiculously wealthy, but Tony's legitimately a supergenius whose "powers" are a direct result of his own work, while T'Challa was born into both his wealth and power and his superhero abilities in the form of an inherited phlebotinum suit. (Thor is also royalty, but unlike T'Challa, had his powers taken away until he proved himself worthy.)

Really from Jupiter, but not an alien.So what you're saying is that because Tony didn't give up his tech, Stern's joined Hydra?
Makes sense to me. Another victim of the Starks.
One Strip! One Strip!Oh yeah there’s another thing: The Avengers didn’t have oversight at the start of Civil War because they already tried the “answering to an international committee” thing. Said committee tried to nuke New York. Then Hydra stopped pretending altogether and straight up tried to cull the human population in one fell swoop.
These problems were averted because Fury and Steve took matters into their own hands and said fuck the higher ups.
So Steve doesn’t exactly have bad reasons for not trusting vague groups to call the shots. Not saying he’s entirely right, but he’s got a better argument than Tony trying to shove his personal guilt trip onto everybody else.

Problem is, is reasons boild down to pretty much "I dont like when someone else tell me what to do", is very anti authoritarian and because of that Zemo caught in his trap.
More important, even falcon shot down the argument "this is not hydra, or shield, this is the United nations" to tell them to fuck up is pretty much rejecting all the world power he need oversight.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"Her powers have never been properly explained, but I think she needs access to her hands. Everytime she uses her telekinesis or mind control, she's shown doing weird things with her fingers.
So I think the implication is she needs her hands to be free for her powers to work. Sorta like how Zatanna at DC is useless if you gag her or make her lose her voice.
"Zemo's plan worked because the UN was willing to order the murder of a criminal suspect without giving them the benefit of due process, forcing Cap to go rogue in order to save the life of an innocent man who was also his best friend. "
A hightly train assain who have kill god-know how many damn people waaaaaay before, you dont take any change with him, and Cap being right is just narrative trickery because he is the hero.
Also, Is clear Zemo was kinda expecting the body to be found....after all, why someone like him leave in hotel room?.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"Are you seriously arguing that it's okay to kill a someone without so much as a trial because they really 99% almost definitely probably did it, and anyway bringing them in alive would be a super pain in the ass?
Suffice to say that I disagree.
Remember, the special forces team that went after Bucky were not trying to capture him while being willing to kill him if necessary. They were specifically ordered to shoot on sight. They were going to kill him no matter what he did, even if he immediately put his hands up and surrendered and never made any threatening moves or attempt to escape whatsoever.
Real hard to see why Cap didn't want to take orders from those guys, anyway.
Really from Jupiter, but not an alien.A non-spoiler theory about where the Soul Stone could be. TL:DW Mat Pat wants it to be with Heimdal, but he thinks it will actually be with Adam Warlock, and that Nebula knows it's with the Sovereign because that's the real reason she was there in the first place: trying to steal it.

Yeah I can see it.
