How could Zemo be sure Tony would even show up, let alone at the same time as Captain American and his boy toy?

Where does the UN and/or Ross get off lecturing the avengers about stuff like collateral damage when the government was going to throw a nuclear bomb at new york city to stop the aliens back in 2012's avengers (without even knowing if doing that will take care of the problem or not)

Why does Bucky not just drown out the words by covering his ears and singing really loudly? And why didn't we see these activation words back in winter soldier?

I guess winter soldier making that hydra twist does explain away the willingness they seemed to have in ordering a nuclear strike that seemed overkill even back in 2012...

Because he knows Tony is motivated by guilt.

Outside of the implication that that was HYDRA's doing, governments ARE pretty hypocritical anyway.

Valid point.

The guilt of the kid in Sokovia?

Then the guilt of not believing his friend to try and salvage his relationship?

Creating Ultron?

I continue to remark about how fucking stupid it was for them to immediately start fighting and letting the bad guy who caused so much shit get away if it wasn't for Panther.

......did you the first couple of scenes of the movie? The death of Tony's parents has haunted him for decades.

Out of all the things you could complain about, that can't seriously be one of them.

He didn't.

If Tony hadn't shown up, he would've just made sure the video got to him in some other way. Steve and Bucky going there would've just resulted in Zemo blackmailing them with the video. But Tony showed up anyway and expedited Zemo's plot.

Ross is the one that created the damn abomination, I can't believe he's not only still with a job, but got super promoted as well.

Also shame that movie is kinda black sheep considering it was setting up the mega mind villain and the doc samson hero. Damn shame, we could use more quirky characters in mcu.

He brought in a kid with super powers against a team of guys he knew would never seriously hurt a kid. It's not like he asked him to take on crossbones.

More dangerous things have happened on what were supposed to be safe or routine missions. The point is that after getting guilt tripped by a black woman over her son dying, he still goes out to another woman and takes her still in high school kid, regardless of powers or not. I mean, Quicksilver had powers...

ross invades brazil, unleashes hulk. Luckily not a large loss of life. Probably because he couldn't roll in with attack helicopters. but that whole invade sovereign nations bit in cap 3...
invades college campus with humvee's and an attack helicopter
has a hand in creating abomination which starts a huge fight in harlem and causes the most damage seen in a marvel movie up to that point.

i guess that is why stark listens to ross, since ross is really the only one whose fuck ups are close to his

One of my criticism is against Bucky. He think he's innocent or worth saving or worth all the trouble that's happening with everyone. If he was truly courageous then he would have turned himself in even if it meant taking his life. He knew he was dangerous and yet he wanted to live. I compare him to Banner. Banner knows he's dangerous and to stop the Hulk he tried killing himself. Bucky never thought about how dangerous he could be.

Didn't his plan only rely on Tony showing up? He just needed to turn him against Captain America and Bucky. Which would break up the Avengers regardless.

His plan would only really be messed up if only Cap showed up and Tony didn't bother. Which I don't think would have happened with that super soldier threat he was framing his plan to be.

I haven't watched the movie in a while but I think that's how it went down.

He didn't need Tony to show up. He was going to put the video worldwide. He only went to the bunker to kill the other super soldiers and then himself.

He just needed Tony to see the video to break up the Avengers.

He turned himself in to Wakanda exactly because of that. Specifically told them not to wake him until they could break the brainwashing. Which you'd know, if you watched the movie.

Did he want to see whether or not their empire crumbled from within, or was he satisfied just dying and believing that's what would happen?

He didn't know Tony would show up. Pretty sure he even says in the movie he could have released the video any time and would have.

Wasn't the goverment or Ross that dropped the nuke, that was the World Security Council, specifically Gideon Malick who orders it IIRC, who as we know from Agents of SHIELD is Hydra, and high in the ranks.

Because he couldn't. Arms were shackled. Plus I imagine hearing the words immediately starts to affect him.

He was just a soldier and knew he had no chance in a direct confrontation. He spent the time between Ultron and Civil War using the files Black Widow dumped on the net from Winter Soldier and came up with his plan.

I think he figured this was the only chance he had and if it failed or not he still would have killed himself. He just got lucky.

i guess that is why stark listens to ross, since ross is really the only one whose fuck ups are close to his

My impression was that the general consensus was that the military believed the Hulk was such a threat that Ross' actions were justified. Maybe up to the point that the Brazilian government allowed them to intervene.

And going by comments in the Netflix series and the like, I'm pretty sure Abomination being there was covered up so most people think it was just the Hulk rampaging around.

Oh and as for why the trigger words weren't a thing in Winter Soldier, it could be that he is programmed/brainwashed to only take direct orders from direct leaders of HYDRA and the words were a way for others to give him orders.
