About the binding agreement.
In his conversation with Iron Man against signing the deal, Captain America mentioned that everyone is responsible for their actions. Many people expressed their incomprehension. Obviously, signing an agreement is a more responsible and safe way. According to the meaning of the US team, it is even more irresponsible?

This involves the debate in Western philosophy and Christian theology about whether people are free or not. This may be unfamiliar to the people of the Celestial Dynasty, but it is not the case for European and American countries where religious beliefs are common. This debate has been around since ancient times, but the Christian line has basically inherited St. Augustine's theory that man is free, not determined. Because if man is determined, then no matter what he does, what will happen will always happen, and the evil he does is also determined, then God, who created everything, also indirectly creates evil, and God is the supreme good Beloved, how could it be possible to create evil? Therefore, Augustine believed that God created everything, but people have the right to choose freely, both the right to choose good and the right to choose evil. Those who choose good go to heaven, and those who choose evil go to hell. At this level, the decided person is not responsible for the evil he did (because he did not decide to do the evil), and the free chooser will be responsible for his free choice, whether good or bad (which is not the same as in our society). The pseudo-liberals of responsibility are fundamentally different).

Whether to sign a binding agreement or not is a struggle for individual free will!

sign protocol! Then the free choice will be handed over to the committee, and all future civilian casualties will be the responsibility of the committee, because the decision is made by the committee.

Refuse to sign the agreement! Retaining the right of individuals to choose freely also means that individuals are responsible for their own choices, including being admired and hated by others.

There is a question involved here, can an individual (the US side) be responsible for the lost life? Can you be responsible for the family who lost their life? The dead always die and never return. The more civilians die, the more hatred and contradictions will accumulate. Based on the power of superheroes, revenge will require more powerful power. This is what Vision said, the superposition of hatred and the escalation of battles. Therefore, superheroes must sign an agreement to participate in the action more comprehensively and securely.

Let's put this issue aside for now.

Make an assumption first. Suppose all the superheroes signed the agreement and came under the control of a committee. So the same question, the committee decided on behalf of the superheroes, can reduce the casualties of civilians?

Here (in the very thing of signing the agreement) hides a trap - that superheroes cause civilian casualties = they make the wrong decision! So are the superheroes making the wrong decision? Let's review the history of the superheroes since the founding of Marvel Studios. Stark started from that dark cave... Barbara, according to Disney's three views, every Marvel movie has a The war is either forced to choose the battlefield, or it is already the best choice. So what is the main cause of civilian casualties, is it a decision? wrong! It is the product of the execution process! Just like the Scarlet Witch tried her best to lift the self-destructing terrorist into the air, but it still exploded, killing a floor of civilians.

Why are there civilian casualties? Because 1: The equivalents of superheroes and supervillains are super different; 2: Superheroes and supervillains are constantly increasing (triggering, being bitten by spiders or being irradiated, the source cannot be controlled.), and they are enemies of each other. 3: Without that brain-dead villain who specially went to the Sahara Desert to exterminate human beings...
If the first and second rules are not changed, civilian casualties cannot be avoided.

In this way, there is only one way for the committee to prevent civilian casualties from being linked to it. What if terrorists attack? Do not move! Let the conventional forces of the special forces solve it. What if the civilians die and the soldiers cover the national flag? Take care of me! What if aliens come to New York and start a mass extinction, and the little human bugs, snot, snot, and tears will shout at the steel man to save me, what should I do? Then start fighting! And then civilian casualties, then the committee spokesperson apologizes, the bureaucrat in charge resigns, gets a new one, and the civilians continue the dog leash... Familiar, right? right? However, it really has nothing to do with superheroes! Someone hit the tank! Therefore, Gang Nan said that this is the safest method when he persuaded the members of the art troupe to be good.

That's right! This is just a well-rounded, shirking agreement, and Gang Man knows very well that he is frightened by the mother holding the photo of the dead son, and he is not thinking of reducing or eliminating civilian casualties (because anyone with a bit of wisdom knows that this is impossible. ), but someone understands that this is not what he wants, so what if he must hate it? Hate the committee bureaucrats, they make the decisions! Gang Nan has the pseudo-liberal elements in brackets. He is free, but he is not willing to take responsibility. From the relationship between him and many women in the first part, it can be seen that this is the setting of the second generation of modern rich, so he signed .

And what about the troupe members? The young people of the American Empire World War II generation are full of patriotism! Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor made the whole country of the US imperialists boil at that time, young people flocked to the military camp, and many young people who could not join the army because of insufficient conditions committed suicide... In the past, fighting back against the Nazis and Japanese devils has become a profound way for the US imperialists to defend their freedom. brand! Come on, Jap, I take responsibility with my life for my free choice to defend freedom! You can kill me if you can, but if you can't kill me, I still want to be free! for justice! Fight for the weak! What about the ones that have been affected? You hate me for killing me if you have the ability. If you can't kill me, you still have to fight for freedom... That's why the members of the art troupe don't sign! Because he is a middle school young man at heart!

And when superheroes are under the management of the committee, it will bring a second problem. Will the collective decision-making of the committee be better and more just than individual choices?

In most cases of the same conditions, more people and more resources do mean more security, and individuals are likely to make the wrong decision because of a momentary anger. However, there is a dangerous landmine hidden in it. One wrong decision by one person may not result in extinction, but once the committee controlling all superheroes makes a wrong decision, there may be extinction results! Who says the committee won't be controlled by Hydra or Three-Headed Dog or something like S.H.I.E.L.D. in Captain America 2? If a superhero suddenly does evil, there may be other superheroes to correct it, and all the superheroes do evil at the same time, we can only kneel and shout hallelujah with a slap on the corner of our mouth!

Absolute power means absolute power! A committee that controls all superheroes has the potential to become a super villain. Just imagine that one day the US team said to the chairman with a peach blossom eye: "The chairman is very big, do you think that anal style looks down on you? If you Let me be a member of the Standing Committee, and I will bring my younger brother to help you clean up the sect..."

Based on the freedom of choice, the possibility of anything is half and half, and he may make a good choice or an evil choice, whether it is an individual or a committee all the same. For Team America, who believes in free will, is there any reason to sign a deal? If he's evil, he can't sign an agreement, and if he's good, why have a committee? He is already the best choice.

2. Why do you have to fight.
Once a growing creature (increasing superheroes) starts to become a society (in sufficient numbers and communicating with each other), exclusivity does not appear, but once there is a faction, or even further political rules, there will be natural Become a community where exclusivity and aggression coexist. S.H.I.E.L.D. is a relatively loose alliance, and the committee with the power to punish and decide is large, and it will naturally appear most of the logic, or the logic of the unifier. For example, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in this country and that country, there was Zhou Jun above the monarch and messy forces below. If you went to another country to have a child, he would not necessarily drive you away or set up a household registration book, but unified The strong Qin in the world has an absolute advantage, hehe, do you think the family planning is to eat fast?

If all the main superheroes become part of the committee, then that little bitch, we have all registered, do you want to register? If you don't register, do you want to kill a few civilians yourself? What a precious life the commoner bugs are! Are you responsible? ...The more superheroes the committee has, the more powerful its siphon effect, which will eventually make the superheroes a community. When the community is very large, the identity gap effect will occur (see X-Men), and the committee will be a country or a family of its own to some extent, what kind of family? Superheroes, races, anything. Based on its ability to be far stronger than that of human beings, there will inevitably be arguments such as ethnic confrontation and survival of the fittest (kneeling to Magneto).

And what about the superheroes on the committee at this time? Unity or division? Only division is guaranteed to avoid the outcome of the extinction of the human or superhero side (unity signifies that they either unanimously choose to exterminate or enslave humans, or vice versa - based on their uncontrollable power, humans are unlikely to be comfortable enslaving superheroes hero.).

The split superheroes (that is, the current split or original state) are good and evil, good and bad, all of which are a matter of human values, and once they become a united collective, they will quickly evolve into ethnic issues. The choice to stick together, or to wear the armor when I need it, and to show my blood when I feel (rather than a committee) need to step up is a big question in itself. Am I going to have to go to a committee to make you do something you don't know if it's good or bad because I'm capable? Still like the little spider, "I have the ability, and when the weak are hurt, I want to help them". What Saint Meng said, without compassion, is inhuman! - This is not a superhero, but a manifesto of man.

Whether a person is free or not is not a question of who is right or wrong. The choice between Steel Man and War Machine is probably not based on free will, but based on political, social and cultural recognition... Honestly, just now my girlfriend fought The phone said that I had reunited with my ex-boyfriend, and I wrote an egg, grass! ………………………………

Writing about halfway through writing a movie review, I became a single dog, and I am still an older single dog. Based on this, this piece of shit has a special meaning, so I have to finish it... ...

When a person is in a society (not to mention the sovereign of the state, it is easy to understand), when he is not in a situation of special persecution, in principle, he is willing to abide by all the rules of this society. Socrates died for it, Rousseau wandered around for it. To a certain extent, no matter how much we have opinions on this society, most of them believe in this society in their hearts, because "in the final analysis, man is a social animal." Based on this, the committee as the enforcer of social power has a higher level of justice than the individual, so the obedience of the steel man war machine Black Widow is "I am the steel man!" After a series of battles, became a superhuman There is a need in the heart to become an ordinary social person again. The war machine was originally a soldier, and all the wealth of the steel man comes from the society. If the wind and the rain are necessary, the identity of the steel man has become a burden to some extent, and the black widow, the former Soviet and Russian dark agent, needs to be normal. social acceptance.

There is another reason - they are tired.

They respond to the justice in their hearts to save the world and help the weak, but they are not to be gods, and if they are to be gods, it is not for justice, but for power. So Captain America never gave up that costume, and the little spiders always wrapped themselves tightly. They fought with all their might, lying on the bed with scars. What they wanted to hear most was not Aunt Mei's shouting from outside the door. "Peter, have you eaten?"

The committee gave them a chance, they might have thought, that when signed, it would be more like a job of righteousness, receiving assignments, completing assignments—or dying—like soldiers fighting terrorists, they would be more Calmly return to ordinary life, instead of racking your brains alone to work hard for the villains and bear so many grievances and grievances. They will have more opportunities to stay with their loved ones and to be close to society. Because it's just a job isn't it?

I think this is the meaning of armor, cloak, shield. Putting them on, they are superheroes, and taking them off, they return to the normal life they long for, so the crew members will say "Suit on!" when they are ready to fight.

Iron Man will grow old, and Captain America will die, but the armor will always be there, maybe one day the armor will fly across the sky and you will exclaim "Look, Iron Man!" But the names of Stark and Steve may have been Forgotten, only justice lasts forever.
