#IRON MAN WINTER SOLDIER CODE#
This is where the mysterious villain Zemo (Daniel Bruhl) enters the picture, having uncovered an old Hydra book containing the code words that can hypnotize poor Bucky, bringing out his murderous Winter Soldier side.
When the signing of the Accords are sabotaged, the Winter Soldier takes the blame.
#IRON MAN WINTER SOLDIER MOVIE#
The movie starts with a flashback to the 1990s of the Winter Soldier making an assassination on an old lonely road. And that means Bucky, and not just as an afterthought. This is a Captain America movie, and the sequel to Winter Soldier. That could have been the whole crux of the story, but of course it isn’t.
It’s a testament to the even footing that both points of view are given that even after having seen the movie twice, I still can’t completely commit to one side or the other. So with a small push from Sharon Carter, who gives Steve a speech that Cap famously gives to Spider-Man in the Civil War comic, Cap refuses to sign the accords and the Avengers are split. Tony can only trust systems, and Steve can only trust individuals. As Steve says in the movie: “The safest hands are still our own.” Then, in Captain America: Winter Soldier, Steve finds his trust in systems totally shattered as Shield is revealed to be mostly controlled by the Nazi death cult of Hydra. In The Avengers, Steve finds a government that lies to him, and a Shield that pilfers Hydra technology and is willing to launch a nuclear bomb at the island of Manhattan. The Army tried to stop him when he could save the lives of Bucky and his friends, so Steve disobeyed orders and saved the day. Steve Rogers, who, in his first movie, had such a powerful faith in the systems of government, has been repeatedly shown that these systems fail. He signs the Accords because he believes the Avengers operating above the law is no longer the right thing to do. So this is the Tony Stark entering Captain America: Civil War. He is shown time and time again that he and others are not responsible enough keep the world safe on their own. But over the years, from the first Avengers movie and Iron Man 3 to Age of Ultron, we have seen Tony becoming increasingly paranoid and obsessed with security. In his second movie, he famously stated that he’d “privatized world peace”. Tony Stark (Iron Man) began as the ultimate capitalist. When the lines are drawn, you understand w hy each Avenger has chosen the side they do. You understand why some characters sign the accords and others don’t. What is brilliant about the motivations of the characters in this movie is that they all make sense. This mirrors the “registration act ” of the Civil War comic which ordered heroes to register with the government however, since practically nobody in the MCU has a secret identity, this element has been stripped away. Once signed, the Avengers will no longer act autonomously, but be sanctioned and controlled by a United Nations panel. The Avengers are issued an ultimatum in the form of “The Sokovia Accords”. When an Avengers mission chasing the mercenary Crossbones through Lagos in Nigeria ends with the accidental destruction of a building, and the death of several diplomats from the nation of Wakanda, it seems to be just one step too far. The Avengers come to fight and people die. Avengers fought a war in New York, (the ramifications of which are still felt on the Marvel Netflix series, Daredevil and Jessica Jones), The Winter Soldier destroyed Washington, DC, and then Age of Ultron lifted the city state of Sokovia thousands of feet into the air then vaporized it. When the Avengers save the day, there is always a ton of destruction and collateral damage. Let’s set the scene: the characters in the Marvel U have finally noticed what we the audience have been pointing out for years. Even if you disagree with him, the morality makes this not only a thrillingly engaging action movie, but also one of the most emotionally investing that Marvel has ever produced. The grander scope and moral debate at the heart of Civil War is all filtered through Cap. Civil War works as an Avengers movie (with, oddly enough, more Avengers than either of the movies to actually use the title), but more importantly, it works as a Captain America movie. It feels very much like we were always heading for this.Īmazingly, it works. As the introduction of both Black Panther and a new Spider-Man to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the sequel to Avengers: Age of Ultron, the final instalment in the Captain America trilogy, and the sequel to both First Avenger and Winter Soldier, this movie is also the culmination of a journey that Marvel has been headed towards since Robert Downey Jr. Image source: Ĭaptain America: Civil War needed to be a lot of things.
