Oh, and to nerd out a minute - it sounded like Peter was referencing when he already had powers but didn’t use them to stop a bad guy and then “the bad things happen.” As in referencing Uncle Ben’s murder for that ultimate “Great Power / Great Responsibility” lesson.

All valid points. Thanks!

Nope, plenty of folks did get the joke. Jokes don’t always translate through text especially in kinja nerd threads, based on both my observation and participation.

Except if Spider-Man accidentally kills a dozen folks fighting ____ threat, he could theoretically just lose the mask and walk away without any accountability. Not saying he’d do it, but there would be masked heroes who’d not be able to deal w/ the guilt / legal repercussions (or want to), because most of them would…

Just hook a well-grounded cable to his ankle (or some building-sized Stark mega-capacitor). Lightning go bye-bye. Well, there is the problem of Thor’s ludicrous strength...

Wow, way to get specific with Pelosi (as opposed to, say Boehner or Ryan), as if every speaker of the House during the entire existence of our Government hasn’t done the same.

It’s baffling that anyone who cruises comic book movie forums doesn’t get that most of us are fucking joking about comic book physics.

But does Tony have any legal standing as Sponsor? Pete won’t let Tony tell Aunt May about his secret. End of credits stinger shows Pete lied to Aunt May about his ‘fight’ - so Pete’s Legal Guardian didn’t even know he went to Berlin. Tony’s guilty of kidnapping and child endangerment (esp since he threw Pete into a…

Pete was shipped to an Avengers battle on another continent (as a minor, and without consent of his legal guardian whom he couldn’t even trust with his superhero secret), by an Avenger, who outfitted him in total bodywear upgrades, and participated in said battle to capture an assassin with multiple confirmed…

Except the part where Tony kidnaps a minor and extradites him to a foreign continent / country w/o the knowledge of his legal guardian, whom Pete wouldn’t even let Tony reveal his Spider secret. Kidnapping a minor, once again, to engage in friggin battle with enhanced vigilantes literally illustrated throughout Act 1…

The Vision could literally alter his appearance and emulate every single one of Peter’s powers to observers like the Sokovia Accord council. Well, except the web-shooters, but Tony could fab something like that up no problem. So there’s already potential in the MCU for masked superheros to have their public personas…

No, the Avengers at the time of Sokovia Accords’ writing were all public personas who did not hide their legal names, but when Tony threatened to dox Pete’s secret to Aunt May, Pete stopped him. Spider-Man is an Identity, not Peter Parker’s actual persona, which is hidden by a mask (unlike the Avengers like Tony and…

Yeah... but, he was shipped to an Avengers battle, into another country, btw (and as a Minor without legal guardian consent), on another continent, by an Avenger, who outfitted him in total bodywear upgrades, and participated in said battle to capture an assassin with multiple confirmed murders. Just a quick “but he’s…

Feels flimsy. Even Steve / Tony / Sec Ross mentioned how this would eventually be applicable to all enhanced / vigilantes.

Ah, crap Johannesburg - http://marvelcinematicuniverse.wikia.com/wiki/Duel_of_J…

So you’re cool w/ a masked person able to hold up a crumbling airliner boarding tunnel just signing “Spider-Man” then? On a document vetted by 137 world leaders designed to regulate said powers?

Quinjet pilots don’t ask questions.

Yeah, it’d have to be his legal guardian, which according to spider-webbing of Tony’s hand, isn’t gonna happen.

Pete’s spider-webbing of Tony’s hand kinda answered that question, then.

Ah, I thought Tony / Sec Ross / Steve’s convo indicated Sokovia Accords would eventually be presented to any enhanced / vigilantes.
