Talk about your understanding of the captain's behavior

Lourdes 2022-04-19 09:01:18

In the comments, there are actually a lot of people who scold the captain for being selfish and scum. It feels like these people don't understand the spiritual core of the captain. Through these trilogy, MARVEL has completely established the image of the captain in the MCU, and his core is protection - not fighting for himself, not for fame and fortune, the purpose of his battle must be to protect someone something important. Because of this, his weapon is a shield.

In the last battle, everyone seemed to only see the captain beating Iron Man in order to protect his friend, but he didn't consider Iron Man's feelings at all. But I think the exact opposite. In that battle, the captain appeared to be protecting BUCKY, but in fact he was also protecting TONY.
After watching that video, TONY was completely obscured by anger, and at that time he was full of killing intent. But what does killing the Winter Soldier do? Nothing will change except for an extra bloody case. Here, the movie subtly uses the image of Black Panther to reflect the situation of TONY from the side.

Black Panther initially mistakenly thought that BUCKY killed his father, so he vowed to kill the enemy at all costs. This point, and Tony's mood after seeing the video, should be exactly the same. But the result? Eventually Black Panther finds out that the Winter Soldier has been wronged, saying, "I nearly killed an innocent man by mistake." and puts his claws away. At this time, he finally understood the captain's insistence - "Don't be swallowed up by hatred, don't let it continue to spread, just end it with me." Because of this, although the real enemy who killed his father was in front of him, the black Leopard did not choose to continue to take revenge, on the contrary, what he did was to save. The black panther at this moment is the real rebirth after being redeemed.
Back to TONY? In fact, his experience with the Black Panther is no different. All the actions of the Winter Soldier are not his own choice, and in this sense, he is always innocent. Let Tony kill the Winter Soldier, at that moment, maybe he will feel relieved, but what about later? How will Tony face the condemnation of his conscience when his senses are restored? In the end, TONY is such a kind person who would be upset over the unexpected death of a child. So, the captain has to stop this from happening, he can't make TONY the devil of hatred.
In the last blow, after the captain knocked off TONY's helmet, he could actually kill him with one blow. TONY thought so at the time, and covered his face with his hand. But the captain would never do that. He just smashed the reactor in Tony's chest, because he knew that this battle would never end without interrupting TONY's abilities.

That's the Captain's fight - guarding the Winter Soldier, guarding the Iron Man, and guarding the Black Panther.

Therefore, when Tony regains his senses, he will not understand. This is why many people don't understand why the last two reconciled so easily. So in the end he didn't provide the Secretary of State with the captain's information.
The last letter was a sublimation of the captain's spirit. He knows that he is stubborn, unfit for society, and out of tune with this era. Such a character is likely to lead his teammates to a desperate situation again. Therefore, he took the initiative to give up Fulian to TONY leaders who are more able to judge the situation and weigh the pros and cons. It is impossible for me to sign the agreement, so I choose to retire in a place away from the crowd. However, as long as TONY - when anyone needs him, he will go there without hesitation and be by the side of those who need his protection.

This is Captain America.

Captain America: Civil War quotes

  • Lt. Col. James Rhodes: Secretary Ross has a Congressional Medal of Honor, which is one more than you have.

    Sam Wilson: So let's say we agreed to this thing. How long is it gonna be before they lojack us like a bunch of common criminals?

    Lt. Col. James Rhodes: 117 countries wanna sign this. 117, Sam, and you're just like, "Nah, it's cool."

    Sam Wilson: How long are you gonna play both sides?

    Vision: I have an equation.

    Sam Wilson: [sarcastically] Oh, this'll clear it up.

    Vision: In the 8 years since Mr. Stark announced himself as Iron Man, the number of known enhanced persons has grown exponentially. And during the same period, a number of potentially world-ending events has risen at a commensurable rate.

    Steve Rogers: Are you saying it's our fault?

    Vision: I'm saying there may be a causality. Our very strength invites challenge. Challenge incites conflict. And conflict... breeds catastrophe. Oversight... Oversight is not an idea that can be dismissed out of hand.

    Lt. Col. James Rhodes: Boom!

    Natasha Romanoff: Tony? You are being uncharacteristically non-hyperverbal.

    Steve Rogers: That's 'cause he's already made up his mind.

    Tony Stark: Boy, you know me so well. Actually, I'm nursing an electromagnetic headache. That's what's going on, Cap. It's just pain. It's discomfort. Who's putting coffee grounds in the disposal? Am I running a Bed and Breakfast for a biker gang?

    [puts phone on table, screen pops up]

    Tony Stark: Oh, that's Charles Spencer, by the way. He's a great kid. Computer engineering degree, 3.6 GPA. Had a floor-level gig, an intel plan for the fall. But first he wanted to put a few miles on his soul before he parked it behind a desk. See the world, maybe be of service. Charlie didn't wanna go to Vegas or Fort Lauderdale, which is what I would do. He didn't go to Paris or Amsterdam, which sounds fun. He decided to spend his summer building sustainable housing for the poor. Guess where: Sokovia. He wanted to make a difference, I suppose. I mean, we won't know because we dropped a building on him while we were kickin' ass... There's no decision-making process here. We need to be put in check! And whatever form that takes, I'm game. If we can't accept limitations, we're boundaryless, we're no better than the bad guys.

    Steve Rogers: Tony, if someone dies on your watch, you don't give up.

    Tony Stark: Who said we're giving up?

    Steve Rogers: We are if we're not taking responsibility for our actions. This document just shifts the blame.

    Lt. Col. James Rhodes: Sorry, Steve, that... that is dangerously arrogant. This is the United Nations we're talking about. It's not the World Security Council, it's not S.H.I.E.L.D., it's not Hydra.

    Steve Rogers: No, but it's run by people with agendas and agendas change.

    Tony Stark: That's good! That's why I'm here. When I realized what my weapons were capable of in the wrong hands, I shut it down. Stopped manufacturing.

    Steve Rogers: Tony, you *chose* to do that. If we sign this, we surrender our right to choose. What if this panel sends us somewhere we don't think we should go? What if there's somewhere we need to go and they don't let us? We may not be perfect but the safest hands are still our own.

    Tony Stark: If we don't do this now, it's gonna be done to us later. That's the fact. That won't be pretty.

    Wanda Maximoff: You're saying they'll come for me.

    Vision: We would protect you.

    Natasha Romanoff: Maybe Tony's right. If we have one hand on the wheel, we can still steer. If we take it off...

    Sam Wilson: Aren't you the same woman who told the government to kiss her ass a few years ago?

  • FedEx Driver: [At the door with a package] Are you 'Tony... Stank'?

    Lieutenant James Rhodes: [cracks up] Yes. This is... this is Tony Stank. You're in the right place. Thank you for that!

    [to Tony]

    Lieutenant James Rhodes: Never dropping that, by the way.

    [while walking off]

    Lieutenant James Rhodes: Table for one, Mr. Stank. Please by the bathroom.
