Captain America all the way. How did iron man's agenda work out by the way? Such a great story, but I still wouldn't be Starks friend after he sold me and my friends out. It is still kinda weird seeing both of them as teammates even after that story.

Ima gonna steal this and look for some occasion to use it! IronMan private msg quote post Address this user
I'm very much on Iron Man's side. If Super powered individuals were real, the public would in fact demand the government be exerting some control. And the super powered types would soon find themselves in need of government granted qualified immunity, lest they be sued into oblivion for the unintended consequences of their actions.

Okay, so Captain America or Iron Man have the only chance at winning - sure you can 'throw-away' your vote on your favorite character. But it's a two party system. And was just asking between those two in the specific film, Civil War. Punisher, Deadpool or Hulk could be selected after general election. And you can have ale regardless. Chaos is just unknown.

Like in real life, if I don’t like the characters, I choose not to choose, which is legitimate choice to me.
I don’t like Iron Man or Captain America, now if Iron Man went back to the Gold Standard Iron Man, I might just vote for the image.

Agreed. That and not putting coffee grounds in a garbage disposal? Was that in Civil War?

Me neither... and it's a free county - but it's in the movie - Civil War. Two guys to pick from A or B. As I recall they both put out some beliefs that'd you'd be into one or the other. Don't think of it as a 'like' fan thing.

If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8. xkonk private msg quote post Address this user
Iron Man was right that people with powers need training, and wrong about everything else. So by and large I'm with Cap.

Maybe it was the writers making it up to him, but Iron Man was on the right side of Civil War II.

The government couldn't even run the post office correctly, so why would anyone have confidence in it to regulate anything from mutants to superpowered humans?

If mutants and those with super-powers were real, they would be running things, not the government.

And didn't he basically admit, in Civil War II, that he was wrong in Civil War I?

Masculinity takes a holiday. EbayMafia private msg quote post Address this user
My emotional side says Cap but my pragmatic side has to agree with @IronMan that in the real world Super Powers would have to be regulated to a greater degree than a high powered rifle.

Funny you bring up this subject though, the other day I was thinking about the sides they ended up on. Captain America, USA Rah, Rah, Law and Order ex-military presumably very conservative is the resistance to having supers regulated by the government that he loyally fights for. Tony Stark, brilliant Scion of industrialist Billionaire, presumably with low regard for rules and regulations, no loyalty to any government or organization, just completely folds any resistance and becomes an almost gleeful field enforcer in the effort to hand over control of the Avengers to government oversight. With Cap and Iron Man I think the writers got it right as to which personality would go to which side of the Civil War.

Oh, pshaw ... the Post Office does an amazing job and has for years. They are struggling right now, due to a Postmaster General who was appointed to purposefully undermine and disrupt US mail service. But besides that, the USPS is the best in the world at what they do. That's why they are often contracted out by UPS, FedEx, and Amazon to deliver the "last mile."

@EbaySeller

I always felt like it would have been more logical for the sides to have been the more established heroes (Avengers, FF, Alpha Flight) and the more outlaw type (Spidey, X-Men, Daredevil) duking it out.

If we think of this in real world terms, it would make sense to have some kind of licensing or regulation, but the X-Men would certainly not want to register.

Neither would Spidey, due to his secret identity (does anyone have those anymore?)


I'd always felt like that would have been a more interesting debate on public safety versus individual rights.

@Tedsaid it's more in line with the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970 which reset the USPS as a more corporate-like and independent body within the federal government. Before that, the federal government ran the post office into the ground. It was a shit show.

Don't think I even read my own question. Since I say 'like.' But meaning that as like to vote for.
