Whoever Said "Rome Wasn't Built In A Day" Clearly Hadn't Seen My Work Ethic And Hustle

Okay something I never figured out about Civil War is why Peter is on Tony's side beyond manipulation.

Tony very much manipulates Peter, despite Peter being excited to go. He does insist that he Can't travel to Germany, and the big change in opinion is when Tony threatens to tell Aunt May, to which Peter visibly reacts with a sort of desperation. I'm not saying he isn't excited when he's actually there, what with filming a video diary, but the fact remains that he's WAY out of his own depth.

But the thing is... Peter is like, technically a mutant right?

Under the rules of the Accords, his status as a mutant would HAVE to be disclosed, publicly. So, if his side is successful, he would be legally required to register his identity and ability. Or maybe Tony would have to.

It's also super messed up that at the end of Homecoming, Tony arranges a press conference when Aunt May STILL doesn't know Peter's identity.

Tony literally blackmails Peter with his identity to get him to fight for a cause that will expose his own identity? It's just not sitting right with me, I don't know if maybe I missed something.

He’s seen a lot.

He probably enlisted as a young man, like all the others, with the hope of becoming a war hero. And stayed in the service after the first world war because he felt more at home in his skin surrounding himself with like-minded soldiers. I know this sounds obvious, but it’s still interesting to acknowledge how much he chose that life because he wanted to avoid the social pressures such as courtship and conventional marriage.

One day Alison and Mike receive a letter. It’s from a woman asking very politely if she could bring her father to see Button House; he was stationed there for a time during WWII and is now very elderly - his fondest wish is to see the house one last time before he dies. The letter is signed by the woman, her surname is Havers.

Alison (forgetting that the Captain mentioned that name in ‘Redding Weddy’) asks Cap if he knew or remembers anyone called Havers from his time in Button House. Very quietly he tells her that yes, he knew a Havers, why? She explains the situation, that he wants to come and look at the house before he dies. When the Captain doesn’t answer, Alison asks if everything is okay. His only response is a very quiet, “Yes. I should like to see him again.”

So Alison replies to the woman, agrees that she and her father can come to the house. To make the journey a little easier on the old man, they agree that they can spend the night so he’s not doing to much exerting travelling in one day.

When they arrive, the Captain is at the door with Alison to greet them although they can’t see him. It’s his Havers for sure. He has aged, obviously, well into his nineties by now, but it’s definitely him. Cap could never forget that smile. He watches Havers as he, his daughter, Alison and Mike slowly make their way around the house. He remembers walking these same hallways with Havers, an unspoken truth between them beating like a heart. It’s bittersweet, seeing him again after so long, but he’s glad he got this final chance.

He talks to Havers as they all go around the house. Pointing at things and down hallways, asking him “Remember when we...” followed by a question Havers won’t answer. Alison can hear it but she’s kind enough not to say anything. She knows this is between Cap and Havers.

The Captain goes into Havers’ room that night, just to get a look at him alone. Say the things he didn’t want to say in front of Alison, even though Havers is asleep and wouldn’t hear him anyway.

But then something happens - Havers begins to glow and too late Cap realises that he’s dying. He calls for Alison, but she’s fast asleep elsewhere in the house and wouldn’t come. Havers’ spirit is there and he can see Cap now.

“Captain,” he says, “is that really you?”

“Yes,” Cap replies weakly. “I... I have missed you Havers.”

“I have missed you too. Am I... dead?”

Cap sniffs. “Yes. Yes, I’m afraid so.”

“Oh.” He sounds underwhelmed, like he expected more from death. “Well. I am glad I got this chance to see you again before I go. I missed you every day after I left. I came to your funeral, sir.”

“I saw,” Cap replies, “I was there.”

At that, Havers’ spirit laughs and Cap suddenly doesn’t care. He knows times have changed now, he knows that he would be accepted by now if he’d lived long enough. In another life he and Havers could have worked, they could have been happy.

So he gives in and says, “I loved you, Havers.”

Havers gives a weak smile, returns, “I loved you too.”

And then he moves on, and he leaves Cap for the second time.

to celebrate 8 years since civil war release, let’s review all the ways tony stark was an absolute loser and actually the reason thanos won in infinity war:

created an omnicidal A.I. that the rest of the team warned him against creating

decided that the entire team needed to become government puppets because he felt guilty for creating said A.I. that, once again, NO ONE SUPPORTED HIM IN MAKING

(also the reason bucky was forced back into the fight bc tony caused sokovia and thus caused zemo’s need for revenge but i digress on that pt)

when members of the team who can’t disconnect from their abilities raised concerns about how the accords dehumanized them, he had them arrested or locked them in his tower

bribed (yes, bribed) a child into fighting on his side because he knew he was outmatched

instructed vision to shoot sam out of the sky and then shot sam point-blank when he avoided the blast that would’ve left him severely injured AND LANDED TO HELP THE PERSON IT HIT

wanda on the raft. this is its own point. he let her be restrained and collared like a fucking DOG as if he hadn’t already done enough damage in her life (killing her parents & brother)

proceeded to break the accords THAT HE HELPED WRITE to chase cap across the globe because he felt left out of the action

blamed a brainwashed pow for BEING FORCED to kill the starks AGAINST HIS WILL and proceeded to BLOW HIS ARM OFF and ATTEMPT TO KILL HIM DESPITE KNOWING THAT NONE OF IT WAS HIS CHOICE

mocked natasha’s trauma because she dared to disagree with his methods (he is, in fact, incapable of letting go of his ego for one goddamn second)

even after receiving an apology, refused to contact cap for three years despite KNOWING about the threat of thanos

in conclusion,
