Honestly, I wasn’t going to say anything, but I am so sick of this particular argument that I rather feel the need to put it out there.
This argument tries to make it seem like Steve is aware of the full situation surrounding the Starks’ deaths and is intentionally keeping it a secret from Tony throughout Civil War.This is simply not true.
The only clue that Steve was given was Zola’s statement that “accidents happen” and a brief picture of the newspaper article about the Starks’ deaths among a montage of other disasters and deaths. Here’s the clip for those who forgot/haven’t seen Winter Soldier.
And this scrap of vague information was given to him right before he was blown up by a missile and nearly killed again.
This was a minor detail when compared to the enormous reveal that was “SHIELD has been HYDRA all along” and that three helicarriers with advanced targeting systems were about to be launched to kill 2 billion people. So it honestly wouldn’t surprise me at all if he simply forgot.
There was a lot of other, bigger stuff going on, and in the grand scheme of things the fact that HYDRA may have arranged or been involved with the car crash that killed Howard and Maria was incredibly insignificant.
Additionally, the end of Captain America: The Winter Soldier had Natasha and Steve leak all of HYDRA and SHIELD’s stored files to the world.
Tony was free to look through these at any time between then and Civil War. This includes the entirety of Age of Ultron, as well as Iron Man 3.
(Tony also hacked into the SHIELD databank in the original Avengers movie, so he had plenty of time to look through the recesses of their files if he wanted.)
Did Tony simply just never bother to sort through any of the data he got himself access to?
But no, clearly it’s got to be Steve’s fault for not remembering to tell Tony that he had reason to suspect HYDRA involvement with the death of his parents almost three decades ago.
(It’s not like Tony very vocally dislikes his father or anything.)
As for the gifs, well…I pulled a few of my own to supplement those mere four.
And a few more to put the end back into context.
So Tony purposefully lying to Thor to get the scepter for his personal project and going behind his team’s back to create the Triskelion 2.0, to which Steve responds with some light but serious comments about not telling important information to his teammates…is somehow on par with (or worse than) Steve not mentioning that he suspected HYDRA was involved with the death of Tony’s parents, to which Tony responded by repeatedly attempting to kill Bucky - a man he knew had no agency in the situation - and Steve - for trying to stop him.
The leaps of logic that most stans have to take to arrive at these conclusions is kinda astounding.
