Are we supposed to just accept he was decrypting Hydra files in his grief and happened upon it?

“answering for his crimes” - except it’s easy to argue that he isn’t responsible, having been brainwashed by Hydra. And you can’t make an argument on either side of that issue with shoot-to-kill orders and underwater detention-without-trial facilities and government bureaucrats who literally LOL at the idea of lawyers.

Both he and Tony have great motivation, though one is driven by outside betrayal and the other by guilt. Not sure if that really makes a difference, but there it is.

I was going to say exactly this. Cap has been burned - badly - by trusting the decisions of others. And it doesn’t even go back to just the events of Winter Soldier - Nick Fury was using the Tesseract to build weapons modeled after Hydra’s from WWII, the World Council that used to head SHIELD ordered a nuke to blow up…

I don’t consider Captain America’s argument indefensible. He doesn’t want the Avengers to fall under the control of an eclectic body of people that will have their own agendas and it’s a real risk that they use their positions to further their own interests. Like the UN Security Council in the real world, a small…

Yup.

The Amicus podcast covered this subject in great detail in their last episode.

I do get out and vote for liberal causes. I can’t speak for other liberals. Also, I won’t stop blaming people for not believing in liberal causes; they are why the world is shitty sometimes.

Is anyone else tired of how cynical the identity politics have gotten, among the neoliberal left? Bringing up racial and gender inequality in defense of socialism is completely different than bringing it up in defense of military adventurism, corporatism, and the New Democratic way.

I have the same interpretation, it really feels like lip service to me. I was also not shocked, but very dismayed to learn that her emails revealed that one of the real reasons for invading Libya was concern around Gaddafi’s work to create a gold backed currency in Africa. Imagine what that could have done for a…

It was a response to people claiming that he was running an openly sexist campaign, not an unbidden brag. Nobody’s looking for cookies.

13) Spider-Man may have screwed with his Civil War role.

The worst lesson for Fox to learn from this is to chase the style of Deadpool with its other comic adaptations.

This makes a lot of good points, yet also seems to skim by what I consider the most important one — what made Deadpool such a breakout was also the one thing that many other Fox (and most WB) films lacked — respect for the material they’re adapting, and making an attempt to be as accurate to the spirit (and where…

Dear god I hope not. Part of the reason they keep failing with the Fantastic Four is they feel the need to tinker too much with the formula. Focus on the wonder of exploration. Focus on the family bonds. Don’t toss R-Rated comedy on top of characters that aren’t built for it.
