With the "Captain America Civil War" premiere on the horizon, it’s important for people going to see it to know what caused the Avengers to break up and start fighting in the first place. In the 2012 movie, "The Avengers," there was some tension for the Marvel team. However, as the Marvel Cinematic Universe progressed, it became clear that while these people might work as a team, they also had different ways of handling things and different philosophies.
The "Iron Man," as demonstrated in his 2013 movie, is more of a creator, a fact that the Marvel Cinematic Universe went more in depth on during the 2015 movie, "Avengers: Age of Ultron." By wanting to put a ‘suit of armor around the world,’ and by doing so, created Ultron. As we are all aware, Ultron went bad, reasoning that ending all humanity was the only way to save it.
"Captain America" takes a direct approach and does whatever he feels is right, even if it’s against the flow or wants of everyone else. This became extremely apparent in the 2014 Captain America movie, "The Winter Soldier." Captain America took down SHIELD for having been infiltrated with Hydra, a Nazi organization bent on world domination, only to get ridiculed for taking down corruption. Most people assume, that he’s only fighting against the “Super Human Registration Act” because of his friend Bucky. This isn’t all true.
The big argument that is going around about the movie that comes out on May 6, is whether or not they should enforce the Superhuman Registration Act. The Superhuman Registration Act basically says that anyone who has any kind of super human abilities have to register with the government. This means that the government can control and monitor everyone with superhuman abilities, which gives the government all of the power that the Nazis had during World War II with the Jews. While team Iron Man supports this Act, Captain America actively fights against it. Both sides make compelling arguments about why they choose to support their view. But anyone who has read the comics knows something for a fact. In the comics, Captain America was assassinated by Sharon Carter but Crossbones was blamed. Sargent James Buchanan “Bucky” Barnes, ended up becoming Captain America in his best friend’s footsteps.
However, the Marvel Cinematic Universe doesn’t always follow the comics. It does, however, not stop with this movie. So, are you Team Iron Man or Team Captain America?
