I think a lot of people are judging this based off of meta knowledge rather than in world logic.

Meta knowledge says Captain America is good and pure and he should do whatever he wants because he will do the right thing.

Meta knowledge says that Starks side is a secret plot by evil to do bad things because their plans are more elaborate than anything Yagami Light could ever come up with.

However, in world logic tells us that I don't trust anybody to be totally wholesome and perfect and always make the right choice, especially where millions of lives and hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake. Contrarily I am wary of government oversight but checks and balances do help to prevent people from doing whatever they feel like, fuck the consequences.

They're basing it on this plus the fact that the movie kind of set it up a little awkwardly since the in the movie world, the government is clearly evil and keeps doing evil things. I'm talking from a realistic standpoint where both sides would be far more gray. In Civil War, they kept showing public catastrophes that would have been FAR worse if the Avengers hadn't gotten involved and used that as the reason they need to be controlled. Sakovia being the tipping point despite the fact everyone on the ground would have died if Scarlet Witch hadn't interfered...



Now I'm talking from a realistic standpoint that in our universe, they would need to be checked because we're not going to be gifted the fact that these good guys are virtuous and can do no wrong and will always be morally superior to the government.
