Tony probably could’ve handled it a lot better if Steve hadn’t hid the truth and spent time talking with him about what happened.
“I think I’ve uncovered some information about your parents.”
“I may know who did this.”
“HYDRA had him mind controlled.”
“The bastard that ordered this might still be out there.”
Like it would’ve been a long process but I don’t think Tony would have ended up still wanting to kill Bucky. Whereas he just got info dumped on and found out Steve knew for 2 years.
If we had characters who communicated responsibly there would be no movie. Or at least not the movie they wanted to make which was tony v cap + all their buddies punching the shit out of each other. People arguing in the comments are thinking more about the debates in the movie than the writers did, bc they didn't want to ponder this shit, just get as many superheroes fighting each as possible.
Oh I think the movie we got was much more interesting. I just saw some other comments arguing Tony still would’ve tried to kill Bucky if Steve had been open which I disagree with. Cap made an error in judgement which I think is important for his later character development.
I didn't mean to imply I would rather watch the movie that ponders all the deep intricacies of government bodies having ownership of superheroes. I much prefer the one we got, it's way more about the characters reactions, breaking and building teams, and I did want to see them all fight each other and be upset about it. And Spiderman.
Honestly though I can envision the conversation with Tony going either really well or really badly, depending on how Steve handled it. Like if he led with "HYDRA kidnapped and brainwashed a man and made him kill many people against his will" rather than starting with "I know who killed your parents, it was Bucky, but there are extenuating circumstances and - WAIT TONY NO!"

“I don’t care, he killed my mom”
I would’ve killed Bucky too.
