can you honestly tell me that if you had actual super powers, you would be ok with only ever being able to use them when the UN decided that you could?

That’s the thing. It’s not about the superheroes. It’s about everyone else. It’s about the people of Lagos wanting justice because a group of Americans went into their home and blew up their people. It’s about the police officers who were trying to do their job and were thrown onto the main road by Steve Rogers because of it. It’s about every single non-powered individual, looking at the ones in power and going ‘I don’t feel safe around you’.

And if I had actual superpowers, I sure as hell would not be okay with finding out that’s what my community thought when they saw me.

Because that is what Civil War was about in the mcu. It was 117 countries coming together and voting that they needed these superheroes to be controlled, so they didn’t just run riot everywhere and put people at risk, even if it was well-intentioned. And whether the argument they made was right or not, you cannot deny that Steve and Team Cap all decided that they knew better than all those 117 countries. They all decided to put themselves above the democratic vote and go ahead with their own agendas anyway. If I was a normal individual, watching those powered individuals do that??? Say a big ‘fuck you’ to my vote that asked them to be put in check????

I’d be fucking terrified. That’s what I’d goddamn be.

So yeah. If I were the superhero. I probably wouldn’t be happy about the UN deciding what I can and can’t do, you’re right (and that’s why Tony was saying they could be changed & amended, fixed so they fit better for everyone). But if I were the goddamn civilian?? Which is what 99% of the rest of the world was? Then I would be living in the fear that these ‘heroes’ who didn’t listen to the law would come and ruin my life whilst trying to save someone elses one day.

And That’s why I think that Iron Man was right.

they slash them?????

As someone around for 9-11 and the "NEVER FORGET NUMBER #1 GREATEST TRAGEDY EVER IN HISTURY" response to it I am in thrilled and invigorated by the fact that younger people just make amogus memes and TikTok nonsense about it. A huge chunk of America cared more about it than any entire genocide and thought you would cry learning about it. They hoped it'd make every generation patriotically angry forever and ever and want to join the military. Instead you Photoshop the towers into squidwards house and shit. Never stop lol

I’m physically unable to take 9/11 seriously, entirely because my grade 9 english teacher was bizarrely obsessed with it. We basically had an entire unit on 9/11. We watched that documentary from those students that were doing a documentary of firefighters and wound up getting the only footage of the first plane hitting. We did a novel study of a book about some kid being in one of the towers for take your kid to work day and him and his dad squeezing past the wreckage of the plane to escape in time. We watched that Nic Cage movie of him being a firefighter during 9/11 that gets stuck in an elevator shaft when the place collapses. I am dead fucking serious, we had to make up fictional people that died in the attack, write an obituary for our 9/11sona’s, and then write and deliver a eulogy as their grief-stricken parent. At one point in the unit the teacher clarified that she hadn’t personally lost anyone to the attack, nor was she anywhere near New York when it happened. She never bothered to ask if any of us had actually lost someone in the attack, which kind of seems like a thing you should do before making us invent fictional victims to give eulogies for. The unit began with her demanding to know where we all were on the day of the attack and what we remembered, and she started crying when we told her that 1. we were two years old at the time and couldn’t remember shit fuck, the closest thing was one of the older kids kind of thought they remembered being very confused at adults freaking out over the TV but that could have been literally anything, and so this meant that 2. we were the last class she would ever teach that could possibly remember 9/11. Probably didn’t help that someone pointed out that we were the class born in 1999, so in two years she’d have students that hadn’t even been born during 9/11. That may have contributed to the teacher crying over the whole thing.
