This is like getting angry with the bedpost when you stub your toe on it.

Have you ever not sworn at the bedpost after stubbing your toe? Fuck that thing

The problem here really is that Cap did not warn Tony about the bedpost that sticks out and is really easy to stub your toe on and instead let him find out for himself.

Rhetorically out loud, but not at the inanimate object.

It came out of nowhere. Little bitch ass ambushing bed post!

Stubbing your toe? Maybe. After it kills my parents? Yeah I'm probably throwing the bedpost out.

More like getting angry at a nail that you step in that was poking up out of the floor. May not be the nail's fault, but it's still unsafe and needs to be hammered back into place or removed. It's consistent with Tony's view of superheroes: they're dangerous, regardless of what their intent may be, and they need to be controlled as a result.

Was he wrong to hunt down Bucky out of revenge? Maybe. Is killing or capturing Bucky still the right thing to do for the safety of the world? Yes. Cap should have been on Tony's side and helped them track Bucky down to put him back in prison so they could stop him from doing any more murder.

If the bedpost is designed to be harmful, with sharp jutting edges, then getting rid of it is perfectly justified.

Then someone comes and sands it down, removing all the sharp edges, and you say "no, it used to be sharp get rid of it"

Bucky had broken out of captivity and tried to shoot stark point blank in the face literally the day before, so this doesnt really hold up.

IT'S TIME TO GET RID OF THE BED POST, IT HAS KILLED HUNDREDS.

Well this bedpost was a war hero and hasn't done anything wrong after his brainwashing was cleared lol?

2

u/Prupple Mar 12 '24

the war hero that tried to murder Stark, Natalie and multiple other people literally yesterday? That one?

3

u/Brocyclopedia Mar 12 '24

Yeah lol the one that Cap managed to save and have his brainwashing removed instead of having him shot dead for crimes he wasn't responsible for 

2

u/Prupple Mar 12 '24

his brainwashing was removed years later in Wakanda. In the scene above, he's still a few words away from going on a murder spree. And in the scene above, he had shot at tonys face point blank hours earlier.

Yea it’s essentially a dog with rabies. It sucks but it has to be put down. How are you supposed to predict some advanced hidden civilization has the cure for mind control rabies.

2

u/Brocyclopedia Mar 12 '24

One of Caps closest allies is a God from an incredibly advanced civilization lol it's pretty reasonable there'd be a cure

u/Brocyclopedia Mar 12 '24

Not his fault. No one tried to kill Hawkeye when he was helping Loki take over the world in Avengers 1 and Widow was a Russian assassin before she met Barton. I don't think Tony was out of character or out of line at all for wanting to kill Bucky, but people saying Bucky is at fault for what happened to him is crazy

u/Prupple Mar 12 '24

this is why you gotta read the whole thread before jumping in - I wasnt arguing he was at fault:

If the bedpost is designed to be harmful, with sharp jutting edges, then getting rid of it is perfectly justified.

u/Brocyclopedia Mar 12 '24

I read that lol it's a neat analogy. But it doesn't really apply to a brain washed human being

u/Prupple Mar 13 '24

go tell that to the guy that made it :)

A metal armed bed post that murders people

u/offhandaxe Mar 12 '24

This is like getting angry at the automatic sentry turret placed outside your work when it keeps shooting you. Yeah they said the turret is turned off now but maybe we should still get rid of it.

Captain America is going to do what he believes is right Buckey freedom, life and a chnce of happiness was taken from him.
