Gonna be honest, don’t understand how the MCU seems the Battle of New York to be the fault of the Avengers. SHIELD sent nukes to midtown Manhattan. How is what the Avengers did worse than nuking NYC?

Also SHIELD being destroyed, it was either them or a million American citizens murdered by helicarrier. I don’t get how the MCU says that’s worse, did they just decide the Algorithm’s intended victims didn’t matter?

Sokovia, at least, that you can blame Tony Stark. I’ll give the Sokovia Accords that. But NYC & SHIELD headquarters? Not so much.

Honestly the United Nations has let how much human rights abuse happen? We’re going to let the people that quietly allowed Rwanda & the Khmer Rouge make decisions about what’s worthy of Avengers involvement?

So much of the MCU is predicated on the idea that a handful of random weirdos are somehow better managed by existing national & international government interference & I dunno haven’t y’all see governments lately? Or ever?

I feel like that's text in Civil War, the Sokovia Accords are an attempt by existing states to get the genie back into the bottle?

it seems weird that Americans in particular would be okay with it given the sort of "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" logic that predominates here like if you don't want to regulate billionaires then why the fuck would you want to regulate superhumans

Like if I regulate superheroes NOW then I'm just making a headache for myself when I finally get the power cosmic

In X-Men stuff they say outright the reason people hate mutants so much is that as far as most people know there is no way for an ordinary human to become one The concept relegates you to always being in a position of weakness and that's intolerable

This is why the X-Men setting coexists so uneasily with the rest of Marvel and the whole concept of "mutates" like Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four

Yeah thats pretty much why they had to be written out of the Civil War arc. That and they remove pretty much any sense of moral ambiguity that writers might have been going for.

well and also it's hard to justify their anger about being registered when they've literally been registered for like ten years already
