Topic title would have been: Captain America: Civil War - Am I the only one who thinks they got Captain America and Iron Man's roles backwards?

Bare with me here, I haven't read any of the comics, so I don't know if any of this is elaborated upon in text, but...

Given their personalities and backgrounds, I swear it seems like Captain America should've been the "pro-oversight, pro-regulation, take accountability for our actions" guy. Whereas Stark, the slightly more "rebellious" character, would be the one saying "if I see a situation heading south, I'm going to intervene." And secondly, he's the one building the autonomous army of "peacekeeping" suits and other projects on his own, why does he want oversight to hinder his innovation? Maybe the Ultron fiasco has him thinking that he needs oversight or regulation?

I dunno. I feel like they could just literally switch Rogers' and Stark's roles and the movie would make a bit more sense.


Not sure if it's been said but in the comic version, Rogers basically said he'd seen enough fascism in World War 2 while Stark was pro-Registration because a group of young metas had a reality show catching bad guys and one villain they cornered could literally cause massive explosions, blowing up in a neighbourhood and killing some of the team, as well as several nearby children. Stark felt guilty and went to the funeral, where one of the parents yelled at him (I forget what his exact role in it was).

Anyway, so the government wanted all heroes to register and they started the 50-State Initiative, with every state in the US having its own government-sanctioned Avengers team. Tony didn't want that incident happening again.

I liked how Spider-Man unmasked publicly and worried about Mary Jane and Aunt May being targeted so he joined Tony until Giant Man and others got killed and he switched sides after The Punisher took him to Steve's rebellion HQ.

The film sucked, though.
