Sorry this is so random, but I saw your tags on that Steve post and his "Sometimes you can't save everyone" line, and it got me thinking. I've finally figured out some of the reasons it rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe it'll line up with what you're thinking. They'd just said they feel guilty/responsible for the deaths in Lagos because of their mistakes (Steve missing the bomb, Wanda doesn't go into it, but I think not controlling the blast and not moving it away from the building). (part 1)

Steve’s lines after seem to ignore that though, and they should find a way to live with people dying sometimes instead of working to not make the mistakes that led to those deaths. I get trying to make sure the guilt doesn’t consume Wanda, but it also shouldn’t be hand waved away. Giving her a “here’s what we can work on so less/no people die from our mistakes” would help Wanda so much more than saying more people would die if you can’t deal with the guilt/what you’re feeling. (part 2)

I don’t know, just wanted to get your thoughts since I love your writing. Thinking of putting together a post to flesh out my reasons, and to rewrite the scene to match what I think Steve should have said. (part 3)

Groundwork: I think my main problem with that line was from my perspective, it sounded weird coming out of Steve’s mouth. And I don’t know how much of that is influenced by 616/Hickmanvengers Steve who ‘uplifts the helpless’ or however that speech went. I’ve never been shy about admitted that I don’t quite understand MCU Steve Rogers, though I try, but I know he’s different. But there’s a certain level of not only pragmatism but moral calculation to that line that I wasn’t expecting and it always just twigged something wrong with me. I don’t disagree with him on principle, either. You do have to accept losses and not let them drive you crazy in that line of work.

But, onto your post, I agree with what you’re saying for the most part, but I also can’t imagine Steve didn’t have that conversation with Wanda at some point. Of course the movie does not show/imply this at all, but still. Urgh, okay, let me try to sort out my own thoughts here. The thing with Wanda is - if she hadn’t done what she did, more people could have died. And like you said, it wasn’t completely her fault (I mean obviously the real blame lies with Crossbones, but you mentioned Steve not seeing the bomb/detonator.) But because she didn’t have full control or because she didn’t have enough training, people died unnecessarily still. Everybody in the movie was trying to protect Wanda for good reason - raking her over the coals for Lagos would help no one. But it also can’t just slide (one of the many problems I have with AoU is that everything slides). Why did it happen, will it happen again, how can we prevent it? Does Wanda need more time and training before she goes out into the field and who decides? Does Cap decide? Who does Cap answer to? Or the Avengers? Does someone need to step in? And from there, the more stringent parts of what the Accords are or could be (since the Accords are rather vague in the movie beyond you will work with some UN body as far as I remember) start to fall into place, but that’s another story. 

I take issue with many things about Wanda and Wanda’s situation in CACW, but just unpacking this scene alone, that series of lines certainly fit the situation - Wanda needed someone to tell her not to beat herself up - but also, idk, Wanda needed to beat herself up. In a healthy way. Does that make sense? In the ‘you can do better and this is how and I’m going to help you’ way that Steve is really good at. I agree that it would have been more constructive (but I also think that line was probably supposed to echo Tony confrontation with Mrs. Spencer.) 

And honestly, like I said, I’m pretty sure Steve did have that conversation with Wanda and we never saw it, but that’s the problem. We never saw it. I’m fine with superheroes accepting losses and processing them and moving on. Policemen do it, firemen do it, military does it. Steve’s not wrong: if they couldn’t do it, they couldn’t do their jobs. I’m not okay with that seemingly being the end of it. 

You can’t just let guilt sit. You’re right; you can’t let it eat you. But that’s not what guilt is for, if you know how to handle it. Guilt/regret is there to set an alarm off in your brain that you’ve messed up somewhere and you need to try to fix it. I’ve never had much patience for the side of Tumblr that lambasts Tony Stark for doing something ‘because he felt guilty’ because yes, while Tony’s guilt can lead to terrible things, on the other hand: Good. That’s what guilt it for. To feel guilty and do nothing isn’t much better than overcompensating for it. 

So yes, absolutely help Wanda process her guilt and her grief and her fear. Don’t let people or herself destroy her for what in the end was a terrible accident. But absolutely let her own up to her mistakes and learn from them. You’re the boss, Steve. This is what you do. 

But this is the MCU. If anyone were allowed to do that the whole thing might explode. 

(Bluntly, it’s an underwritten scene and that’s the real truth of it.)

Wasn't there a civil war going on in the country? I don't think it was ever said, but either side could have had them.

i don't think we know! like i think they vagued about it and focused most on wanda's anger towards tony rather than give us fact about who really did it

i could be wrong though of course

oh my god,,,so they really never specified huh

a criminal shot bruce wayne’s parents, so, naturally, he became Batman and dedicated his life to...hunting down exclusively the engineer who designed the gun ten years ago in his garage. A Good Story
