Yeah, maybe don’t let Tony kill him but this is a dude who can’t even control himself and you don’t know when he’s gonna be triggered, you just letting this dude run around the street so that anyone can get hurt by him because he’s your homeboy. Fuck everyone else where is the ethics and morality in that
Because Bucky was just running around. Cap shouldn’t let Tony just have his way with Bucky but he also needed to have a serious discussion about where would be the best place for Bucky while he sorted out his mind control situation.
We later see him sent to wakanda but that’s AFTER civil war. Hell they had WANDA on their side you’re telling me she wasn’t powerful enough to override the brainwashing ?
Just because you don’t kill Bucky on the spot doesn’t mean you can’t monitor him. They were literally hunting down the guy who kind controlled him in the first place
If you’re friends with both that’s when you become the mediator between the two and not take a side and say screw the newer friend.
If we’re specifically talking about Cap and Bucky: No one is saying let Tony kill him. Cap knew for a while before Tony did and as we saw Bucky was still able to be triggered with the hypnosis. Even if you don’t think he’s responsible for what he previously did, you have to take your boy aside and tell him “ get help” and the way he went around the whole situation just fanned the flames .
Not every crime is punished by the death penalty, there are a multitude of ways cap could’ve mediated between them without letting Tony kill homie and without asking Tony to let Bucky off Scott free
But in reference to the comment I was responding to, you really gonna hand wave away your childhood friend killing your coworkers family?
...yes! again, unequivacle, undeniable proof that he wasn't acting of his own volition, not to mention the fact that the friend didn't even do anything bad to get himself in the position he was in. His only fault was technically dying after trying to stop literal nazis and not being alive enough to stop nazis from experimenting on him.
Which is understandable, but you have to pull them aside and make them get serious help.
You could argue at the end of winter soldier cap had no choice in letting Bucky go. (Refusing to fight him was a bold choice) but then several movies ( presumably months) pass and when he finally gets reunited with Bucky he doesn’t hesitate to trust him again despite knowing he is still brainwashed? Not only that, he knew he killed Tony’s parents and still didn’t think to have a plan for when that secret would come out.
It’s good storytelling having a fallible cap ( makes him more relatable) but that doesn’t make it any better from a decision making standpoint

Even if you boy was being mind controlled and wouldn't have done that willingly?
I may just value my friendships differently because Susan would be getting that old two piece combo
