I just watched cap civil war again and Iâm so triggered for/on behalf of steve. Team Ironman always blames steve âfor breaking up the avengersâ but IRL, Steve refused to sign. He did not tell the team wat to do. Tony gaslit ppl to sign, and blamed Steve. Steve wanted to Talk to to Tony after finding out the winter soldiers, but Sam said that he knew a guy (aka get clint/Scott). Meanwhile, Tony forced Ross to let him go after Steve and Nat said, they needed a team. They ALL made their OWN choices
i think one of the biggest problems with the civil war plot (other than the fact they made steveâs final trilogy movie all about the everyone else rather than him) was the fact that people were all focused on the wrong issues esp when it came to the accords. like.. steve never broke up the avengers or gave them all an ultimatum, he simply made his own choice with the rights of enhanced people and others in mind and in the context of his fairly recent experience with corrupt government control (that tony wasnt even there for but if they were such BFFs should have known about!). bucky literally had nothing to do with the accords so the fact that everyone makes it out that steve was being selfish by âchoosing buckyâ over the avengers is so strange đ bucky came into the picture AFTER steve refused to sign the accords and had nothing to do with lagos. when tony tried to kill bucky and steve, it had nothing to do with the accords and everything to do with his own personal interests that while semi-understandable when it came to getting upset, were not justified in action. when steve kept bucky from being killed or captured by the government, it was because he knew bucky wasnât capable of that/wanted to give him a chance to explain that he knew he wouldnât get otherwise. when the airport battle happened, steve only fought to leave because he was trying to go take care of what he thought was a world threatening issue with the other winter soldiers. those are justifiable reasons, even if some of the execution was flawed. tony trying to insist enhanced individuals hand over their autonomy because of his own guilt and then trying to kill steve and bucky because of what bucky did while under hydraâs control and because he insisted steve knew what happened with his parents⌠thatâs not justifiable. thatâs attempted murder and manipulation. that was all about personal interest.
