      Well yeah but I mean the person who gets victimized the most in the movie, at least at the outset, is Wanda, who kind of is a mutant

      I mean, she's a mutant in the comics, but in the MCU, mutants don't exist. So the whole thing hits different.

      Well yeah she doesn't go by the term "mutant" but I mean she is a mutant, she's going to be locked up for the rest of her life due to having a "superweapon" she can never divest herself of because it's built into her body

      In my read of the movie the way the Accords deal with Wanda is when Steve draws the line, the legal logic they're using means there's no way forward for her but being locked up indefinitely because she can never convince anyone she's "safe"

      Which reminds Steve way too strongly of how the US saw Japanese-Americans like his buddy Jim Morita from the Howling Commandos, who also had to choose between living in an internment camp or going on life-and-death missions

      Yup, he's absolutely defending Wanda, and is right to do so--but Wanda is not part of a wider community of marginalized meta-humans. Most meta-humans in the MCU are not marginalized.

      Fair enough I guess I was a fan of the old Netflix shows which kind of did posit the existence of an underground community of "people with powers", but their connection to the main films was shaky

      Yeah the movies don't really acknowledge the tv shows much; if Agents of Shield were really in the same 'verse I'd have expected that to come up in Civil War in a big way.

      And to be clear, Wanda is *herself* marginalized: after the fall of Sokovia she's a stateless person, and I'd argue the her marginalizations are why she got locked up when Banner was allowed to just run off and be a walking WMD somewhere in the global south.

      Well, Bruce wasn't originally "allowed" to flee, they had him locked up but reluctantly let him go to stop the Abomination and then he disappeared But Incredible Hulk is only very loosely "canon"

      (And Incredible Hulk follows on very loosely from Ang Lee Hulk, where the only reason Ross "let him go" is he thought he was dead)

          In Civil War they straight up say the reason for the Accords is the whole world is furious that Bruce escaped into space after Age of Ultron and absolutely determined not to let the next super-war-criminal do the same
