S.H.I.E.L.D.’s cold calculation of humanity allowed Hydra to squirm inside, but Captain America’s Avengers would never waver, and would never allow such diabolical concession.Ĭaptain America: Civil War is the result of Steve Rogers refusing to bend to the popular vote.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier was a punishing revelation for Rogers, but by that film’s climax he thought his good nature could right the sinking ship. Steve Rogers goes into the ice a righteous patriot but thaws out on a planet incapable of operating without compromise. That confidence, however, is rooted in a dead past.

Tony is all doubt while Steve is absolute conviction. He may have all the money in the world, but Captain America leads the Avengers because no one questions his path. He will always find one more patch, or one more fix to course correct. Tony Stark has an insatiable desire to redeem past sins through tin can heroism. Rogers straps on the mantle of a nation and leads the charge so that the rest of his countryman can follow behind. Do the right thing.Ĭaptain America is more than a costume. For him, there is right, and there is wrong. Steve Rogers doesn’t mean to make things difficult.
