This epic tumblr rant in response to these thoughts on The Sokovia Accords in Captain America: Civil War is worth the read! No tea, no shade, just facts.
(But really it always bugged me a little that Peter Parker aka Spider-Man didn’t really know what he was fighting for. He was only on Tony Stark’s side because he only knew Tony. It’s pretty shitty of Stark to use a kid like that, but that’s another whole rant, lol.)

What do you think about the Sokovia Accords in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Leave a comment below!
After that in-depth analysis, I only have one question: Who’s Edward Stark?
A prior Lord of Winterfell, I imagine.
Also probably worth noting that the Winter Soldier was exactly the sort of outcome the Sokovia Accords were designed to create. A powered individual (not even that high powered) turned from a human with choice (Bucky), into a weapon, held suspended, not even experiencing the world, until once more needed. (Winter Soldier)
If the X-Men had been part of the MCU, it would have been even more obvious how awful the Sokovia Accords were
So im gonna point out the one flaw or crack or whatever you call it. Captain America doesnt exist without the Government wanting a super soldier. Proving his worth after or having moral high ground, or even volunteering for a “classified” experiment doesn’t allow you to destroy random cities in OTHER NATIONS WITHOUT PUNISHMENT. Capt was made by America for it……IF anything this fight should be about aborotion rights based points and not questionable ideals.
In reading this, I wondered if Black Panther was also letting the UN know about his special abilities, and was wearing the tracker? Did he let the world know about his identity? Was he putting his movements under UN approval?
Not at all; he is arrested under the Sokovia accords following his pursuit of Bucky but then immediately released under the terms of diplomatic immunity. Pretty sure this was likely due to the UN being very curious (and greedy) about someone who has access to enough vibranium to build an entire suit and hoping that if they honour his diplomatic immunity they may be able to negotiate for some.
In fact, this is the setup for Black Panther II, where everone is now searching for vibranium…
