So let me get this straight:

Stark wants The Avengers to follow the Sokovia Accords, which allows countries to dictate the actions of The Avengers.

But if those 117 countries that signed the Accords included North Korea, Eritrea and other countries with horrible human rights records,

That pretty much means that The Avengers are doing work approved by Third World dictatorships.

That's kind of scary.

This means that if North Korea has its own supervillain threatening the country, The Avengers (an American-based team) has to respond to that in accordance with the accords, which means that The Avengers are helping to ensure the existence of a dictatorship for the next few decades.

I don't want superheroes doing dirty work for dictatorships. The reason why The Sokovia Accords happened was because it allows countries to force superheroes to do dirty work for them.

Last month, The UN held a meeting about the problems with the War on Drugs and while countries like the USA, Mexico, Canada and Colombia said that the current laws do not work, in the end the UN still pushes for the same drug laws because countries like China and Russia managed to veto any discussion on reforming drug laws. Why should we trust China and Russia with superheroes when we can't even trust them in reforming drug laws?

It blows my mind that Tony Stark is willing to allow countries like Saudi Arabia and China to rule over The Avengers. That's the problem. Yes, superheroes can be dangerous on their own, but superheroes whose acts are sanctioned by dictatorships are WORSE.

Is Tony Stark a fucking idiot? He's basically selling Captain America to North Korea with The Sokovia Accords.
>>
>>82576204
Tony let's his emotions and issues control him too much.

It's almost like he enjoys feeling responsible for bad things and feeling guilty

He needs a fucking therapist.

So tell me why countries like Saudi Arabia dictating the actions of The Avengers is a good thing.

It is strange they didn't make more of a point of that. I understand not mentioning China by name to not interfere with the box office and not mentioning North Korea by name because of The Interview, but Cap is still really vague about his actual objections.

Stark's entire superhero career has always been driven by guilt.

>>82576204
>>82576259
The movie states that the sanctions had to be a approved by the UN before the Avengers actually engage not one single country you fucking idiot. The Avengers can't be biased on who or what they should save in times of crisis so whether they have to dispatched on North Korea doesn't change the fact that they're an entirely neutral party.
>>82576263
Cap doesn't want to be told whether or not its okay to save someone that's why OP is a fucking retard. The argument he makes is that bad shit is going to happen regardless and they should take responsibility not leave it to the government to be their lapdogs as penitence.

Because Saudi Arabia wouldn't be able to do so on their own. They would need the support of other countries. And the point wasn't to make it so that any and all problems any nation has, the Avengers get sent in.

Also, just because they are dictatorships, it doesn't mean that every single decision they could possibly make politically is evil. Saddam Hussain did wonders for tackling illiteracy for example.

The point of the Sokovia Accords wasn't to give the UN its own superhuman taskforce, it was to give accountability to an independent, lets face it, military organisation.

The point was so that when this group of superpowered people just ups and decides to intervene in something, like they did in Lagos, that they have permission from an international body so that when your loved ones are killed as a result of their Avenging, you're not just expected to suck it up, deal with it and move on.

It's to stop the Avengers from doing whatever the fuck they want with no consequences when it all goes tits up.

Despite this, I'm still pro Cap

Christ you're dumb
>>
>>82576204
We don't know what the Sokovia Accord says exactly. It's a large book with all kinds of info. The only thing that we know is that 117 signed the Accord and that the Avenger ought to be controlled, but we don't know under which condition.

I don't see how it's scarier than superheroes doing work approved by non-dictatorships. Unless we're talking about a fantasy version of the US that actually cares about democracy and world peace.

Also: the UN is actually the only institution that decides whether or not the Avengers should intervene in crisis....es... or not.

The Avengers can't be biased on who or what they should save in times of crisis so whether they have to dispatched on North Korea doesn't change the fact that they're an entirely neutral party.

The problem though is that "The UN" is comprised of 200 nations and all have dumb shitty agendas.

Imagine if The Avengers have to find a Hydra cell in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia can just call in a "no vote" and convince every other Sunni nation to call in "no" and then lobby the US congress and the British Parliament to vote "no" in dispatching the Avengers which results in a veto.

That's pretty much what The Sokovia Accords will do. It's a bureaucratic red tape that will the Avengers' work much more useless.

I used to work for UNICEF, and every single call for UN peacekeepers to Darfur gets shot down by the US under the lobbying of Saudi Arabia and other Sunni nations. The Sokovia Accords will be exactly that.

>Also, just because they are dictatorships, it doesn't mean that every single decision they could possibly make politically is evil. Saddam Hussain did wonders for tackling illiteracy for example.

But North Korea and Eritrea does not have Saddam.

And besides, there's China. China can VETO the Avengers into doing anything that China wants. That's the fear surrounding the Sokovia Accords.

But Best Korea has CHINA as an ally, and a lot of issues with the Nuclear talks came from China supporting North Korea.

I don't think the MCU does too much real world political shenanigans, they already had enough goofiness with everyone is fucking Hydra.

Right, now I know you're a fucking moron.

Also, China aren't as pally pally with NK as you might think. Yes they are allies, and yes China publicly supports them, but that doesn't mean they bend over backwards to help them every time they ask for something.

China doesn't need Best Korea, but Best Korea certainly needs them.

This could be solved if the Avengers had become a NATO organization instead of a UN one. This keeps Russia and China from having a say while still making them accountable to oversight.
>>
>>82576204
The whole concept of the Accords was iffy and vaguely described to begin with, and should probably not be taken at face value (for instance, do any of the world governments have any actual leverage on the Avengers to begin with? Aren't the Avengers more like a company now than a government organization? Hell, I don't think Vision even has a nationality...)

Like the technobabble in all Marvel movies, think of it more as a tool to show Tony's growing persecution complex, and try not to look to hard at the whole deal.

>WE NEED TO BE PUT IN CHECK
>but before that let me do several unchecked things

tony is pretty complex
>>
>>82576383
Why the fuck do you keep using the word veto if you're gonna use it wrong?
>>
Tony just wanted a situation where someone else could be blame for his fuckups. That's what the Accords were for
>>
>>82576673
Also Tony was saying they'd iron out the details afterwards too or something.
If an incident occurs that is far worse that the Avengers would clearly have been able to contain better they'd obviously have a lot of leverage in making the UN or whatever control group is assigned to grant them some flexibility, which I imagine is going to be the case before Infinity War, they have 5 movies I think before then or something.

The release of the Hydra files left only a few people like the covert Russian agent out there, and he was hardly active, he was a paranoid guy in a shitty house jumping at shadows.

With 117 nations signing, that means that at LEAST 79 nations weren't involved, as Marvel has several more nations than the real world.

The Avengers would end up answering to the UN Security Council, the same body that has tried to control them from the start, except now Fury isn't active to run interference for them.

What have the avengers done that warrants oversight like this, Wanda fucked with the Avengers and they forgave her but I'm struggling to think of her as anything but an accomplice.Sure she should be held accountable though. The only other Avenger that's fucked up is Tony and now he's saying that the team fucked up, He's the only one to causes the problems they fight. New York was an alien invasion and without the Avengers the city would have been nuked which still wouldn't stop it. Washington was secret Nazis which clearly wasn't cap's Falcon's or Black Widow's fault. Sokovia was all on Stark and Banner and even then mostly Stark because he bullied his reluctant toadie into it.

Truth.
During the Battle Of New York, Cap clearly states that their first priority is evacuating citizens. During the siege on S.H.I.E.L.D they succeeded by a margin of a couple of seconds in preventing Hydra from killing a few MILLION people. In Sokovia, they literally prevented a global extinction event.

Okay, so that las one was totally Stark's fault, but that's no reason to bash the rest of the team over the head with it. The only legit blame on the team's carelessness was the direction Wanda threw Rumlow. Of course there were bystanders on the ground, too, so if she'd done nothing then the casualties wouldn't have been much different. Nevermind the fact that he was stealing a biological weapon from the Center For Infectious Diseases that could have killed millions.

They seem to think he's just this "Aw Shucks, Gee Fellas" guy with nice pecs, when he's an inhuman wrecking machine.

Have you considered that maybe, JUST MAYBE, it isn't the Avengers' fucking business to poke their nose into the business of anyone and anything?

Have you considered that maybe the lives of a the people of a town aren't worth the complete breakdown of the concept of national authority and jurisdiction? Are they also gonna break into Chinese prisons and rescue political prisoners? Are they also gonna blow up military equipment and stop mobilizations if they feel they're wrong or will lead to needless loss of life? If the Avengers are allowed to blatantly ignore the will of the governments in the places where they operate then where the fuck is the logical end-point of shit?

Have you considered that maybe the Avengers are people with flawed perceptions and personal codes of judgement who cannot actually be trusted to exercise their limitless power without any kind of oversight?

Have you considered that allowing anyone, even the most virtuous person you think you know, absolute authority with no limit is a highway to fucking disaster?

Have you considered that "If they do something bad we'll deal with it afterwards" is HOPELESSLY fucking inadequate?

Have you considered having a little cry so your mommy will know you're hungry? Maybe you'll think more clearly after you have a little cry.

the best part is the avengers destroyed a whole aiport or atleast did a lot of proparty damage not fighting against evil but fighting against each other and it is somehow ok to not having to face consquences for this.

Cap always talks about consquences and responsability for your own actions and he better than anyone should know that it doesn't matter if the mission was a success, as long as there are sacrifices during the process, you have to take responsability for that as the leader and he never took responsability for anything, not even for the colateral damage done when he helped Bucky to escape.

Downey wants her back in the Marvel films, and he has enormous pull with Disney/Marvel Studios.

"I guess I can dream a little bit. My free pass is — because her and [my wife] Susan are such good friends — is Paltrow. I gotta get her back in these movies so I can make out with her onscreen again," the Captain America: Civil War actor, 51, said during the SiriusXM broadcast.
He added of Susan: "She could care less."

Even so, the actor admitted that there's a catch: He and Paltrow could only kiss if they were "rolling on a take."

Downey and Paltrow, who is currently dating producer Brad Falchuk, played a couple in the first three Iron Man movies. Paltrow doesn't appear in the newest Marvel Universe flick, Captain America: Civil War, but that doesn't mean Pepper is gone for good.

"She's coming back," Downey said. "We need her."

Reminder that Nat said the thumbdrive had an AI on it that was rewriting itself to counter her commands, and she plugged that thumbdrive into the world wide web via a completely unsecured computer in a shopping mall. Also Zola dodged the question when she asked him what was on the thumbdrive, and the thumbdrive came from the facility where Zola was. That's a pretty big plot opening through which Zola could have copied himself into the internet.

There's also the fact that this thumbdrive was a copy of the hard drive on the Lumerian Star, and I don't remember seeing that ship sink or explode. If the thumbdrive was a copy of Zola, then the Lumerian Star's hard-drive also had a copy of Zola. The thumbdrive was destroyed in the missile strike along with the magnetic tapes, but since the 1970's computers didn't even start up until Nat plugged the thumbdrive in he might not have even been on the tapes anymore, they could have been talking to the copy on the thumbdrive.

Captain America's view is inherently, and on a wider scale, wrong and very fatal to the world.

He puts the lives of millions of bystanders at risk by going with a we'll deal with it when the moment comes + holier than the government attitude.

Depends on your point of view.
When the threat at hand is "wipe out the entire human race", then it directly, personally affects everyone on the team. If someone's going to blow up my planet, that makes it my business even if they're doing it in your shitty eastern european country. If they were just trying to overthrow the local government you'd have a point, but when it's "stop the murderbot in Sokovia or New York gets incinerated" there's really no difference between staying out of it and suicide.

This is the case by anyone responding to alien invasions/Asgardian menace/super-threat of the week.

There's no world body to respond to these incredible threats, especially since SHIELD rotted from within.

It's not like they were trespassing in countries to fight against political oppression or to take down rebel groups.

Someone else analysed Zola' claim that he was stored on 20,000 feet of megnetic tape, and predicted that Zola's entire mind can be stored in 16 Gigabytes.

It is extremely likely that Zola had already being replicated and backed up in the last few decades, as they bothered to install a USB plug for him. And certainly they would have predicted that the magnetic tape would have failed eventually just from old age.

I would very much agree that the movie completely failed to show the nuances of the issue it was grappling with and thereby managed to make the two sides seem almost equally legitimate.

But given that I'm talking to another person on an imageboard and not trying to have a conversation with the script I don't see how that is relevant.

Are you saying that I am only allowed to pick a side and then I should contain myself only to the arguments that are made for that side WITHIN the actual movie? Because then we're not discussing anything, we're just quoting lines at each other.

So despite the fact he trusted a governmental organisation once that turned out to be mostly Hydra in disguise, he should just blindly trust another one?

When he knows Bucky didn't do the attack on the UN he shouldn't "plant himself like a tree beside the river of truth and say no, you move"?

He didn't have a point about governmental organisations being inherently corrupt to some degree or another, them having their own agendas that the Avengers might be manipulated into following and the dangers of being tangled up in red tape?

The fact that of all the events shown, more people would have died if not for the Avengers. That of all of them, Sokovia was on Stark, not anyone else and Lagos was a fuck up by Scarlet Witch that, to be fair, would have probably killed more people if she had let him blow up on the ground?

I guess that depends on what kind of supervillain it is, if it was like freedom fighters fighting the government? I guess there'd be more gray morality in it, if it was some super powered bozo using his powers on civilians then Accords or not, the Avengers would be fighting them off either way.

The post I was replying to specifically referenced a "Humanitarian crisis"

Those generally don't involve the end of the world, those words are more generally used to describe shit like earthquakes or mudslides.

His argument is that, if such a crisis were to occur in some shitty dictatorship and the country said that it didn't want the Avengers butting in, then the Avengers should just ignore them and do it anyway.

And my argument is that that is fucking stupid and that you can't just waltz into another country and do whatever the fuck you want if you've been barred from it by that nation's government. EVEN if it results in the needless death of hundreds of people you just CAN'T fucking do it.

There's also the fact that I can't remember a single time when any country has refused help in the case of a humanitarian crisis that wasn't military in nature, which lends a whole other dimension to why his argument is dumb.

We're not talking about a system where the Avengers would be disallowed from doing anything at all, if there was an actual world threatening event going on then why the fuck would the UN prevent the Avengers from solving it?

And did the UN even deliberate on it?
Nope, General Thunderbolt Ross took command of the situation and ignored Tony's suggestion to put eyes out for Zemo. The very clear result of the Accords was not "Avengers need UN permission to do humanitarian stuff", it was "General Ross is in charge now".

shit.

If someone attacks you on the street to knife you and you push them back in self defense and they fall on a shop's viewing window and break it along with some vases in it are you responsible for the damage? It'd be pretty dumb if you are.

The shit with the avengers causing damages is pretty much the same on a larger scale.
>>
The thing that bugged me the most is that they said the Accords would only deploy the avengers after a council approves them. The events of Avengers 1, 2 and Winter Soldier happened really fast, what would have happened if they had to wait for some government bureaucrats to give them the green light?

How can Tony possibly trust such a council after an organization like Shield had been infested with Hydra? If it happened there, it could happen here.

It is good character development how in Iron Man 2, Tony was adamant that he was the best man to hold the Iron Man suit, and over the course of the movies he grows more and more attached to large organizations like shield and now the UN.

Yes?

The idea that you can do whatever you want because "You know you're right" is something even a child can understand is wrong.

>He didn't have a point about governmental organisations being inherently corrupt to some degree or another, them having their own agendas that the Avengers might be manipulated into following and the dangers of being tangled up in red tape?

And you're saying that this is a big enough problem to completely dissolve the idea of national authority? That because sometimes bad people get into power and do bad things that Governments shouldn't have power at all? That somehow the Avengers are incorruptible and will always do the right thing as long as they don't get under the thumb of a larger organization?

>>82578074

Yes, the movie DID in fact manage to create the stupidest possible strawman of what superhero oversight could look like, a system which no country would ever agree to. Having Ross in sole command is no different from the pre-accord system, only even worse since a single man had all the superpowers.
Civil War only makes Cap's side seem reasonable by endlessly contriving things so that Tony's side looks stupid and evil. That doesn't change that Cap's side is ultimately no better than "Policemen should be able to do whatever they want because what if like, the police chief was evil lmao"

If cap had given Bucky to Iron man, then he would've been able to convince Tony to help him Zemo and the super soldiers, they wouldn't have to fight in the airport, Zemos plan wouldn't have worked because Tony had then time to think about the death of his parents or atleast he wouldn't have tried to kill Bucky immediately and Tony and Iron man would've captured Zemo without much problems.

Even if Cap later doesn't agree with Buckys sentence, he could've helped him escape like he did with the avengers at the end of the movie. Anyway Bucky didn't even want to be free at the end because he realized he is actually dangerous, this kinda made the whole thing pointless.

Yea, you're right. Stark's development is driven by his guilt. At the start he feels like a major hot shot and believes he can take anything that comes his way. But as his guilt piles up he looks for ways to abdicate responsibility. That's sort of what he was doing in IM3 with all the different suits.

In Avengers 2 he wanted to absolve himself by delegating things to this new Ultron program. The scene between Cap and him on the farm shows this as well. He argued for ending situations before they started because he was afraid of the consequences.

Okay, so now we're getting down to the nitty-gritty of this argument.
You're basically saying that Cap would be wrong if you had written the movie, because you don't like what happened in the actual movie.

When you continue this argument (and you will, I know) you're going to go on about what would *really* happen, or more accurately what you think would happen, if all of this were real life situations involving alien hordes, nigh-indestructible robots, and norse deities. Meanwhile everyone else is discussing the actual events of the movie and you just look like a tool.
>>
>>82578190
They don't need to "see into his head". The Avengers can issue a press release. In fact, if not for the Bucky thing, that's likely how it would have went down.

>Doing something when you know your right is wrong

So even though you know for a fact that you are right, you should still bend over and allow people to do things counter to it?

>And you're saying that this is a big enough problem to completely dissolve the idea of national authority?

What I am saying is that he lives in a world where a secret nazi organisation managed to infiltrate the worlds biggest spy organisation over the course of 60 years, commissioned a new fleet of helicarriers and had them programmed to target and kill, without trial, anyone that might remotely stand in the way of their rise to world domination.

You can't compare that to the real world notion of governance because no such parallel exists, but you can bet your ass the notion of government corruption would be a far bigger deal in the Marvel Universe post Washington. A crisis Cap averted by the way, just in case you were wondering why people might trust his view on things.

On the subject of childishness, something you seem to like to bring up, arrogantly assuming you are right about something in a debate of opinions is pretty fucking childish anon. Pic related.

Uh...that's what the Sokovian Accords were:
Trust the UN to know better than you do about when you should or shouldn't intervene to save lives.

>>82578508
Was he in charge, or was he just the guy who gave them the accords. Because I'm sure a bunch of countries were calling the president saying keep your caped weirdos off our land, they keep blowing shit up.
>>
>>82578558
He seemed be directly involved in reining in the Avengers and telling them this and that

Of course the 117 countries were the driving force but Ross has a big part it in and that's a major warning sign

That entire scene was embarrassing to watch.

Characters simply faded out of existence when they weren't directly shown on screen, even Scarlet Witch disappeared for what seemed like minutes at a time, seemingly not doing anything despite not fighting anyone when she was last shown and not fighting anyone when she gets shown again.
>>
Cap is only right because it is him, we know we can generally trust his views and actions as the viewer as well as the other avengers because the characters are set up to be likeable good guys.

The problem is (and this is more obvious in comics) the more people you give power with no authority to keep them in check the worse shit gets fucked up even just street level ones.

Isn't Ross a fucking US military officer?

What is even the point of the accords being a UN thing at all if they're just gonna delegate it all to the US army, or just one guy in the fucking US army.

I thought the world had learned a fucking lesson in what corruption is after Winter Soldier.

The movie is seriously just badly written, both sides come off as retards because of the way the movie lays it out, barely any of what happens seems to make sense.

>>82578692

>>
>>82578668
Stark brought evidence that someone else was behind the bombing and Ross was basically like "Fuck that shit"

He's definitely not the "unappreciated nice guy"
>>
>>82578592
Also when Cap, Sam, Bucky, and T'Challa were brought in to the facility where Tony was, Tony was on the phone with Ross and Ross was demanding that there be repurcussions. Stark was answering directly to Ross.
When Tony went to the Raft, he told Ross about Zemo and Ross said "You seriously think I'm going to listen to YOU?".
Ross wasn't just in charge of the Raft, he was running the initiative. Ross was the one who, as the US Secretary of State, would be answering to the UN, not the Avengers themselves.
>>82578608
Especially considering the heads of 117 countries signing the Accords as-is, and Stark already having signed them himself, there was nothing for the Avengers members to negotiate. Ross made that very clear when Widow asked what happens if they come to a decision he doesn't like: "Then you RETIRE."

Steve Rogers just outright refuse to sign his name on anything he doesn't believe in. This is a fair position to take. The fact that War Machine and Vision was probably the only two people who actually INTENDED to obey the Accords that he signed, out of Team Ironman, showed just how much of a sham it is.

Black Widow signs whatever because she doesn't care, and Tony signed but didn't care either. Peter didn't sign anything and neither did Black Panther. So out of the 4 signatures only two were genuine. That's sad.

>>
>But the UN may make a bad decision
>But the heroes may make a bad decision
There, I have summed up the whole issue.

Any big political organisation will be slow and corrupt, but trusting random people who are just trying to do good can also lead to massive fuck ups (but this is a story so they usually find a way to overlook that in some way). Giving the heroes all the power to act as they want really only works in fiction
>>
>>82578857
>I refuse to follow the law. That too is a fair position to take, but it doesn't mean there aren't repercussions and you WILL be held accountable for your actions against societal norm
That is not a reason to sign. You can imprison or even kill a man, but you can't force a man to sign a contract against his will.
>>
>>82578836
>he oversight of a committee of at least 110 countries
To repurpose Nat's metaphor, if you have one hand on the wheel you can still steer...unless there are a hundred and seventeen other hands also on the wheel with you, then nobody can really steer.

No Anon, it's called compromising on your principles, something you're likely to be forced to do many, many times in your life.

People who don't believe in taxes still have to pay taxes, people who don't agree with the rulings of a court case still have to abide by them.

But that's not Steve's point. If it's only one hand on the wheel, and that hand fucks up, then that person is responsible.
But if there are five hands on the wheel, and four of them are pulling in the "right" way, it only takes one hand pulling the "wrong" way to make sure absolutely nothing gets fucking done.
>>
>>82578920
As I said, it only works in a story where the heroes just end up being right cause they are main characters and any little things or actions that could have ended horribly are overlooked. I think the division here is more people looking at the issue realistically and those looking at it from a story stand point

Plus when you think about in in the context of the comics, heroes are constantly doing things wrong

>People who don't believe in taxes still have to pay taxes, people who don't agree with the rulings of a court case still have to abide by them.
That has nothing to do with signed contracts. You CANNOT force someone to sign a contract, that is not how it works. Contracts signed under threat of violence is not legally binding.

This is what actual babies believe.

If you don't think both China and Russia are BRIMMING with genuine Nationalists then you're beyond fucking delusional. Not that wars are actually won by sentiment in any case.

>>
>>82578913
>People who don't believe in taxes still have to pay taxes, people who don't agree with the rulings of a court case still have to abide by them.
This is true.
However, people who don't believe in taxes aren't asked to sign a document stating that they agree to taxes. There's a difference.

Also refusing to sign that document was not a crime. Refusing to follow the rules it laid out might be a crime, but signing it was just a matter of endorsing it which Cap was unwilling to do because he did not agree with it.

It is true that his disagreement extended to wilfully breaking the laws the document contained, but that's a whole other matter from refusing to sign it.
>>

Since Wanda was imprisoned for not signing it, it's not a contract, it's more of a law. They're just being nice in asking you to comply.

Thing is, we still have the largest military in the world. I know China is catching up, but we're still on top.
And I think there's a reason that even in WWII, where we started out with WWI era weapons, we were able to catch up to the rest of the world with tech.

Are you an idiot? The Accords were fucking broken. They weren't a step in the right direction or whatever you think they are.
As soon as the Avengers signed it, they lost all autonomy. They no longer would have had the power to make it better, because that power was taken straight out of their hands.

It wasn't about making them accountable for their actions, it was about making them a paramilitary force controlled by the UN.

This is my argument. Government intervention into this is only going to slow them down and make them less efficient. The best solution would be to make the avengers into a nonprofit charity organization, that way they could be sued and host outreach programs to aid the world when it isn't getting bumrushed.

Also there should be a voluntary UN Avengers or something. That way if you agree with that situation you can join, and if you don't you dont have to. I mean really Thor should have diplomatic immunity anyway as he is an extraterrestrial.

In all honesty if fucking Shuma Gorath popped up in China i dont think they'll object to Strange and a few other guys come in and take it out. And even if, somehow, the council decided against a specialized task force shouldn't go and do the one thing they're meant to do then those people would risk imprisonment to do it anyway.

And I could make a comment about how I think Britain is full of snobs who think just because their country has a boat load of history on ours suddenly makes them better, or how just because you were born with a lot of money and title somehow means I should care more about you, but that would be followed with how the US has fucked over a good number of third world countries simply because they didn't think through how they were going to handle the situation.
Truth is though I still think that most of the countries in Europe and the US has higher living standards than Russia or China, but that's only from what I've seen which is pretty limited.
So perhaps if one of the two or both invaded American soil, there would be some realization that not everything is as they were told.

Realistically, as long as she didn't commit a crime she could only be deported for being an illegal immigrant. Tony not telling her this and having Vision babysit her apparently hoping "maybe she just won't feel like going anywhere so we might not have to tell her that she can't go anywhere" was pretty stupid. If Tony had told her that they wanted her deported and he'd arranged to let her stay but she'd have to stay on the compound she might not have gotten so mad about being "locked in her room".

Admittedly, the conditions of her internment on the Compound were a lot better than the conditions of her imprisonment on the Raft, though.

That's the main fault I see with the MCU. Some of the movies differ vastly from each other in tone and they all have to stay somewhat self contained while also serving as sequels and prequels.

Avengers was mainly a very lighthearted movie, it was supposed to end on a feel good note, everyone celebrating the Avengers and the team going for shawarma. That wouldn't have worked very well if the casualty numbers had been more realistic. The jokes and Tony's quipping would have been wildly inappropriate if thousands of people were dying. But obviously, not every single one of those buildings could have been evacuated.

Civil War is a lot darker in subject matter, and the violence is more intense, closer to WS in tone. So within that movie, it seems as if thousands actually did die, even though the official numbers are stupidly low. Same with Daredevil, they allude to the NY battle like it was a true tragedy.

I just like to imagine the casualty numbers are bullshit, thousands of civilians died, but Disney can't outright say that because MCU is mostly family friendly and supposed to be fun.

He's also fucked a number of businesses though and filed for bankruptcy on more than one occasion

I think the nail in the coffin for me though was when he set up a mortgage company right before the housing market crash claiming "there was never a better time to set up a Mortgage company"

I'm sorry, but there's no way that some people didn't know what was coming. The bubble had to burst at some point., these things don't come out of nowhere.

He must have heard rumblings when he sought advice before starting it. If he did , and started anyway he's an idiot, if he didn't he's naive

As for knowing what he's doing, he doesn't really talk policy beyond the wall, deporting mexicans and the like.

Seeing him debate is so fucking weird compared to seeing people debate in Britain. See we actually discuss civily and talk over matters, because it's serious business. Yes there are a few jibes and jokes here or there, but they are the exception.

If a candidate for prime minister was as easily triggered about his hands, or made reference to his penis size in a debate, he'd be laughed out of the party.

They were fully briefed by Nick Fury, who is the head of S.H.I.E.L.D which is the living incarnation of having all the information. It's not the lack of information that caused the WSC to object to Fury's proposal of an Avengers team, it's the fact that they were afraid of power that they didn't have control over.

That's not even different systems, that's just the Republican party.
If you look at the Democratic debates they're civil and they actually discuss the issues.
Which is sad because it's the Republicans who were originally the ones to argue against slavery and for other liberal policies at the time.
Now it's been flipped, and turned to the extreme.

Makes me wonder. Would things have gone differently if that woman would have gone to bitch at someone OTHER than Tony?

Yes, she lost her son, so her anger was justified. But the main reason it affected Tony was because he created Ultron and caused all that issue.

If she have gone to Steve, for example, I feel things would have gone differently. Probably he would have reasoned with her with a speech about how he doesn't forget the many he wasn't able to save, but still remember the countless of life they DID saved for what was going to be human extinction.

Here's my problem with the Sokovia Accords.

I would support them, if I were naive. Registering people who are human weapons so they don't go around the world fucking shit up with no consequences? Okay.

It'll start off okay, maybe the government will send them to fuck up IS, Hydra bases, bring water to children in Africa, all that good stuff.

How do they know that the UN won't drop the Hulk from a plane to fuck up North Korea or send Stark and Rhodes to blow up a Chinese drug ring with "acceptable" civilian casualties? Also, if we've learned anything from the Rwanda Genocide, we know that the UN won't even think of doing the right thing if it involves doing extra paperwork.

Same thing if I had superpowers, I'd never work for the government in case they try to clone me or make me do things that are just wrong only to get the upper hand against a rival power. Imagine how they'd use you if you were Thor, Kilgrave, the Hulk, Spider-Man or the Captain. In fact, why hasn't the government claimed Steve Rogers as US property and experimented on him to create more supersoliders?

Winston S. Churchill — 'Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.'

Dictatorships and monarchies are forms of government, and would compare to democracy rather than capitalism, not capitalism.

There are, in fact, multiple instances of enhanced individuals in the MCU just deciding to blow up what they feel like. We call those people "supervillains". The list includes Abomination, Killian, Red Skull, Ultron, etc, etc.

To me, it's a simple matter of "can they be trusted?".
Captain America is the most trustworthy motherfucker on the planet, hands down. Iron Man, on the other hand, is untrustworthy, irresponsible, and self-destructive, so it's only natural that he is looking to have big brother put him on a leash to keep him out of trouble. And in Iron Man's case, it's arguably justifiable after Ultron. Cap doesn't deserve the same mistrust that Iron Man does.

Why did they even both mentioning collateral damage?

Would anyone else on the planet really be able to handle the situation better than the avengers?

>>82580628
But that can be said with any ideological economy.
During America's Industrial Revolution it's focus on extreme capitalism create a huge wage gap from the povery stricken and wealthy to a point that most people were one or the other and very few would live in a state we'd cal today "middle-class". Pollution in cities got out of hand and spread diseases everywhere and people were starving. Children had to work, There was no work security and if you tried to form a strike the Pinkerton's would break your knee caps.

Extreme of anything is bad.

If it was fascist the people who don't contribute would be forced to work in whatever way they were capable. There wouldn't be fat people living off the government. Only people with actual health conditions would be able to apply for that and they would be taken care of from a different pool, not a socialist one. The dictator would decide what gets done, when, and what pays for it, and it would happen immediately. It wouldn't get held up over long periods of time, need authorization, or need taxpayer money.

Essentially, capitalism is the only thing that fights actual fascism. Which is just about what most countries are under, fascist governments.

As some one born with Ausperger's syndrome, and people have told me they wouldn't have known unless they told me, you have no idea how fucking pissed it makes me to see that people born with this developmental disabilities have proven themselves to be capable of being independent, but then you have libcunttardfags who instead use a "disability" (ie being fatter than a literal blue whale) as an excuse to go "oh woe is me won't someone help me support my terrible lifestyle", instead of actively working to overcome their disability.
And then other kids born with autism get a bad rep because despite the fact they're being raised to be a productive member of society "normal" kids give them shit because Timmy the Tard can throw a spas attack and won't get in trouble.

This is a simply stupid way to judge, people will make mistakes. There is no such thing as perfect judgement especially from a single individual. 50% of comics are the hero fucked up and caused a bad situation/made it get worse.

The movie assumes the UN is an actual functional governing body that actually accomplishes things and not a completely irrelevant mess like it is in real life.

But yes, the Accords are really stupid and I'm not entirely sure why Tony is so on-board with them. Where the Avengers go and how often they go doesn't really factor in to the collateral damage they cause. It's more about what they're doing there, which is almost always taking on some sort of catastrophic threat to humanity in some shape or form.

If they were sent to stop such a threat there would still be tons of collateral damage. Captain America even says this, the Accords just shift the blame. I think deep down Tony knows this as well, he's just doing what he thinks he has to do to keep the team together. Steve's stance is that if they have to concede their rights like that then it isn't even worth staying together in the first place.

Tony is also an emotional wreck who now spends his days reflecting on the past and all of his fuck ups like Ultron, Pepper leaving him, Sokovia, his parents dying, etc. Even though that last one wasn't him he still blames himself for it because he's an emotional wreck. When it appears that Bucky was the culprit of the bombing he practically leaps at the chance to please Ross and catch him in order to keep the team together, because that's all he has left.

When they do something that a hero considers wrong and get their shit kicked in for it.
Like Cap and Bucky doing that smooth-ass double-team on Tony in the Civil War finale.

Tony was, at that point, attempting murder. He wasn't trying to bring Bucky in, he was going to kill him a LOT. This is why the scene with Black Panther just talking to Zemo was put there to contrast it. T'Challa was bringing a criminal to justice, Tony was just in a murderous rage.

Regardless of where you stand on the moral implications and legal obligations of someone who committed a crime while under mind control (Bucky, December 16, 1991) Tony Stark was acting on his own to commit murder in the name of vengance. T'Challa restrained himself and prevented the death of the man who killed his father by bombing the UN of his own accord, while Tony went into a murderous rage on the man who was forced against his will to kill his mother.
Of all the people in CA:CW you could point to as the definition of "out of control vigilante", it's Iron Man in the last ten minutes.

So how exactly would having the Avengers under UN supervision prevent collateral damage at all?
Most of the things Ross blamed on the Avengers wasn't even their fault.
>b but Vision said that their existence provokes disaster!
exactly their simple existence provokes the creation of supervillains it has nothing to do with their actions whether they work for the UN or continue solo the superhuman genie has already been let out of the bottle you can't put it back in.

All the Avengers working for the UN does is create red tape to tie them up with in a real crisis.

Wouldn't this just create a legal loop hole where heroes could get out of any responsibility?

How does "oversight" suddenly means the Avengers are accountable to anything.
Considee their power and realize they are about as accountable before as they'd be after, and if someone tried to screw their friends they'd fight back, well the direct ones at least, not the 70 yo ex villain.

Get the fuck out of the 9th century. Morality has not been "the gods decreed it by my victory" for a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong fucking time.

Cap knew (by Sharon's info) that the anti-terrorism squad was going to execute Bucky without a trial.
Cap knew that Bucky had been mind-controlled and was not at fault for his actions.
Cap prevented the summary execution of a victim.

No part of that is "i'm right because i won", it's "I'm right because the civilized world agrees that civilized people capture and try suspects instead of gunning them down where they stand" and "I'm right because he didn't do those things of his own free will so summary execution is completely inappropriate".

Ross, on the other hand, was "this is right because the United Nations, the most powerful organization on the planet, says it's right". Ross was "might makes right", not Cap.

Capitalism is bad not because everyone doesn't rise to the top. That's nice. very nice.
More skilled people having a better lifestyle is ok.

Capitalism is bad because the levels of lifestyle you're competing for go to the very bottom.

Capitalism is good if through taxation we'd ensure that everyone lives from one level and above -food, housing, health care, social security- and then from that level upwards position was determined by competition.

The problem isn't competition. It's competing even for the fundamentals.

Because (sometimes) taxpayers doesn't use all of the roads, so they doesn't want to pay for all of them.

You got confused because you asked a two-part question and my two-part answer had the second answer first.
Let me try this once more, in even *SHORTER* sentences:
>when they do something bad
this was the answer to "how is that decided"
murdering suspects is bad
>get their shit kicked in
this is the answer to "how is that enforced"
good guys beat up bad guys, not kill them

Get it?
Getting their shit kicked in is NOT how you decide if they're bad or not, it's what happens after you decide that they're bad. Sometimes when you kick their shit in they realize they were on the wrong side and you become buds. Other times you web them up and hang them outside the police station with a note stuck to them.

>what if he was wrong?
He wasn't. He saw first-hand, in Winter Soldier, that Bucky was not himself. He got Bucky to come around a little bit, then Bucky got mind-wiped again.
>so you have to have the world agree with you?
Okay, at this point you're obviously trolling. There have been a few thousand years of philosophy on how it's morally better to capture an enemy than to kill them. And among those institutions that claim to hold this rule in very high regard are the US government and the United Nations, who are the people who are saying
A: You should trust us to tell you what you need to do
B: Kill that guy as soon as you see him

Anyone over 14 can see the problem with that pair of messages coming from the UN and the Counter-Terrorism Taskforce.

According to US law you're both responsible to a degree. The guy with the knife is guilty of assault with a deadly weapon and destruction of private property in furtherance of assault.

You are guilty only of destruction of private property with the mitigating circumstance of self-defense. You probably won't get billed by the court for the window and vases, but the shop owner could still sue you. If you aren't at least moderately wealthy, though, they probably won't because it costs money to sue someone and if you don't have any money for the shop owner to take then it would just be a waste of his money to sue you.
>>
>But if those 117 countries that signed the Accords included North Korea, Eritrea and other countries with horrible human rights records

That logic is one step away of being stupid.

>That pretty much means that The Avengers are doing work approved by Third World dictatorships.

And that's it. You're just stupid, OP.

The accords are a UN thing, so it means for every Avengers action, there must be a democratic decision making process which involves directors of security from several nations before anything can be done.

It's not like King Jon can jut say "I want the avengers to do this" and they just go and do it, you moron.

Not only that, but Tony Stark's motivations weren't even because he agreed to the accords, he just didn't want to be forced into retirement and be considered a fucking criminal, cause he's a famous bilionaire philantrophist that runs one of the biggest companies in that universe, so of course he'd be signing with the government when they are threatening to get rid of his toys.

If the accords were to be decided by the Avengers, like the filme marketinfg sugested, then it would've been more grey, and there would be no right side. But as it is, with the government demanding them to sign or else they become criminals, it only mkes sense that Tony would sign first, to avoid biggers issues, and THEN work his way around the terms of the accord, which he clearly stated to Cap that could be changed later on, once it gets off the eye of the media.

So go be stupid somewhere else, OP. God damn it.

Who decides what is bad? You didn't answer it at all, morals and laws aren't universal and if every super hero just beats up who they think is bad hero or not then you just have constant super hero war.

You keep side stepping issues instead of answering any saying they'll just figure it out

>He wasn't.
You didn't answer this, he could have been wrong still. He may have understood what he saw incorrectly. Your argument is based on knowing the outcome exactly so is not a proper answer.

>There have been a few thousand years of philosophy on how it's morally better to capture an enemy than to kill them.
And there are many that don't. What if the hero ascribes to a different one? What if a country does? What right do they have to push their moral code on others? Is it just being a super hero cause then any can claim to be? You haven't answer the issue at all

Spidey sees a mugger
stops him
This is good

Spidey sees what he believes to be a mugger
beast him up
actually is not but he is know beaten up anyway
Now according to you he "knew" so that is fine, but anyone else would be unhappy

You see? You haven't thought anything you said through. What if Cap was wrong and Bucky was actually dangerous, you say he "knew" but the simple fact is he could have be wrong. What of they only way top stop him was murdering him? That is a morally grey area, are you going to let random people who just so happen to have super powers decide that?

I think he did agree with them. If Tony didn't endorse it, I don't think the international community would have as much legitimacy to reign them in. It would be difficult if the avengers presented a united front against the accords. With tony on their side, the UN can have some moral weight.

BvS Superman is literally so evil, Flash has to come back from the future to warn Batman that Superman would destroy the world. There is no ambiguity here.

How is that worse than letting random people who happen to have a badge decide? It's being decided by human beings one wat or another. And Cap has a way better track record than anyone else.

Why aren't we having any discussions about the wider implications of Ross being allowed to ignore new evidence when it comes to light or giving out kill orders when he feels like it? Or imprisoning people with no right to council? Why is it ok for him to do that? Because he holds an official position?

I'd rather have a costumed clown out there trying to help but making mistakes along the way, than a power hungry despot who thinks his position should let him get away with anything.

UN sees what it believes to be a bomber
Goes to kill him
actually is not the bomber but was saved by Captain America so it's okay.

Problem?
>>
>>82582447
yeah, sure, but that's the outsiders not understanding the situation because they're outside of it
it makes sense for the world not to trust them since they don't understand, but not for other avengers who know what happens from inside

>Letting foreign powers, especially fucking China, have a say in matters that directly affect your national interests

>>82582425

He did agree with them, but not as it was.

He lost the argue with Cap. His final argument was that if they didn't decide that, it would get decided for them later.

Then he spent the rest of the movie trying to convince Cap to sing because he didn't want him to become a criminal, disagreed and discussed with Ross all the time, and in the end he clearly went outlaw just to help Cap deal with Zemo.

So yeah, he did agree, but just liek we agree on having a police force or army take responsability for our security in real life. But Tony's motivations in the movie clearly were damage control.

Talking about it vs random people jumping to conclusions and running off to do it. Also do you admit that I am right then and that according to you at best the heroes acting as they want is as bad?

>Why aren't we having any discussions about the wider implications of Ross being allowed to ignore new evidence when it comes to light or giving out kill orders when he feels like it?
Cause that is not the point we are discussing. He actually did something wrong there and if that was brought before a delegation and investigated they would see that. The story only works by framing it a very specific way

>I'd rather have a costumed clown out there trying to help but making mistakes along the way
No you wouldn't, go look at what real life vigilantes actually do cause it never works out nicely.

Organisation with systems in place for when shit gets fucked up vs random person that is hard to make accountable (like how they were trying to track bucky).

A bunch of people with the powers of nukes should be regulated, Captain 'America' helped a terrorist and KGB agent, and Scarlet Witch should be jailed on some faraway island forever.

TWS showed exactly why you shouldn't give anyone absolute authority. That includes the Avengers. From an in-universe perspective, there's no way of knowing if the Avengers are any more trustworthy than SHIELD.
>>
>>82582768
The issue really shouldn't be if they should be regulated, it is how. Civil War just makes it so the act is very questionable when we see other media like hero academia have a registration system that works and makes sense
>>
>>82582816
>I DISAGREE SO IT MUST BE TROLLING

No, fuck off. The Avengers killed thousands of people.
>>
>>82582710

>Talking about it vs random people jumping to conclusions and running off to do it.

It's random people deciding either way. And you can't use jumping to conclusions as some isolated problem only the heroes suffer from when that's exactly what the UN did with Bucky.

> Also do you admit that I am right then and that according to you at best the heroes acting as they want is as bad?

No? Obviously the heroes actually save lives unlike the UN


>Cause that is not the point we are discussing. He actually did something wrong there and if that was brought before a delegation and investigated they would see that.

Holy shit how naive are you. That's why James Clapper is in jail right now, right?
>No you wouldn't, go look at what real life vigilantes actually do cause it never works out nicely.

Real life vigilantes are more like the Punisher than Captain America.

>Organisation with systems in place

And throughout the entire movie we see those systems completely failing to protect anyone.

Yeah, that was totally the Avengers fault. The Chitauri were just flying around doing an aerobatics show when the Avengers just started throwing them at occupied buildings.

And then Captain America made a totally unprovoked attack on SHIELD headquarters. And then they attacked that poor, defenseless robot that Tony built who just wanted to make a city fly into the earth at a thousand miles per hour to wipe out all of humanity.

I'm not replying to the same shit again, you refuse to look at the bigger picture and only the one that fits your view. You use false equivalences like a person deciding and saying it is the exact same as a council discussing the idea. You even said you wanted "costumed clowns" and then right her you admit you don't, you are so close to seeing the issue but refuse to. The punisher even fucking exists in that world

No the UN is not perfect (before you try and pull that one on me) but it is much better than what we've had before (I await your edgy meme arrows). Giving officials many of which are elected is better than random people who just "know" and it all works out magically
>>
How do they decide who is a hero and thus gets to do what he wants?
>>
>>82582908
>>82582973

World Security Council worked for the UN

>>82583159

You're the one using false equivalences. The Punisher is wrong because he goes out with the intent to kill and never considers a nonlethal response. Not because he wears a costume or is too powerful.

Your whole point is that it doesn't matter what the end result is as long as you can say you had a system and you stuck to it. I'm saying if your system does not bring about positive results than simply having a system for the sake of it is worthless.

So in summation:

Punisher bad because he goes out with the intent to kill his enemies.

German death squad bad because they go out with the intent to kill Bucky on sight. No different from Punisher.

Captain America good because he spares his enemies when possible, and is always trying to minimize casualties.

Having official authority and/or a badge doesn't magically change bad into good.
>>
>>82583045
That's exactly what the Avengers eould be if you let them do anything they deemed necessary.
>>
>>82583349
And now we are back to the issue of define if a hero is acting morally giving them power to do whatever, which you couldn't do and even if you could doesn't solve the issue of when a hero fucks up especially if they believed they were doing right and could show that through a moral code.

It would be much better to have some regulation where there was now due process and proper accountability

It would but that's not even close to what we saw Ross pushing in the movie.

It leads to it as they are no longer random people acting on what they feel is best but a regulated force

As I and many others pointed out it should be a part of a larger change that would go through teething issues. If you want to enforce law you need to have some regulation, you wouldn't want the police to just be random people going around beating who they think is wrong

No, what we got is a bureaucrstic smokescreen so that people who are just as unaccountable could hide their actions and motives. At least the Avengers could never cover up anything they did or use blackmail to get what they want.

>If you want to enforce law

I really don't give a shit about enforcing law. The law says you're a criminal if you put unapproved chemicals into your own body. The law says you're a criminal if you tell people the truth about how they are being spied on. The Avengers do what they do to save lives. Saving lives > obeying some shitty rules

>you wouldn't want the police to just be random people going around beating who they think is wrong

They already do that though. Shit, even within the movie they do that.

All you're saying is it's ok as long as a panel decided it. I'm saying, that will only be true as long as that panel is actually making good decisions. Simply being a panel doesn't make them right. They still actually have to be right.

Your entire position rests on the ASSUMPTION that those random people are dping a shit job and that the people you chose would do better. When that actually happens you'll have a point.
