DA

This exactly. Civil War soundly ruined Steve and all the characters who sided with him for me. Super-powered individuals are always dangerous, but those who decide that laws don't apply to them and they can go and do whatever they want, no matter the damage and death toll, how dare anyone or the international community try to tell them differently, and insist they are being good and righteous and morally superior that way, are not even vigilantes anymore. They are sprouting the same rhetoric as despots and terrorists.

I just don't get the logic at all. If anyone with a high-stakes job screws up at their job, there is an investigation (if there isn't, we call that a cover-up). Most applicable here imo is a comparison to soldiers and cops. We all want an investigation is a cop bungles an operation and kills someone. If that cop goes somewhere, not on the job, with no legal basis for their actions, involves themselves in a situation they know nothing about and have no reason to be in, and kills someone, then we expect there to be an investigation and a charge for manslaughter or murder. Whether or not there were valid reasons and extenuating circumstances should be decided by a court of law, not by the person who did the killing. Rules are good. Regulations are good. Accountability is good. They build the framework that keeps megalomaniacs with superiority complexes from killing everybody.

Look, post-Civil War I entertained fantasies of the world in the MCU coming together in the face of this obvious threat. I knew they wouldn't happen because America-centrism and ~heroes~, but I wanted to see Europe close ranks with Africa (pissed at the same people bc of Lagos) and Asia (China would jump at the chance, and there are enough forces in the Middle East who chafe at Americans invading countries and killing people in the name of democracy) and hit the US with embargoes, restrictions, and close down all their military bases on foreign ground.

Yeah. Civil War forever ruined for me Sam Wilson and Steve "Captain only of America." I don't understand why there weren't real repercussions for what they did. Bucky was most probably still mentally compromised, although him hurling a civilian off a motorcycle and into traffic to save his own skin really tarnished my view of him as well. And T'Challa out on a revenge spree? It's not the heat of the moment anymore if you have time to book a flight.

Civil War was the last MCU movie I watched.
