Captain America: Civil War trailer

[ffutures]

Gacked from selenak:

Looks like they're making the whole thing be about Bucky Barnes and oversight of "vigilantes", but I'm hoping that there's more to it than that.

Nor can you allow people with too much personal power to put other people in danger - which is precisely what Steve is doing. Or you can - and people die (which is what is happening in far too many places in the world right now.)

And what oversight does anyone have over the Avengers? Or over any superheroes? The people? I suspect they are the ones clamouring to get the Avengers under control.

Tony learned this the hard way, travelling from "privatising world peace' to agreeing to some form of oversight. Steve, on the other hand, appears (from the trailer, which probably does not give the whole story) to believe in his own image - that he is always right and above the law. (And, indeed, Chris Evans has articulated Cap's position as something not far from this.)

Well, that gets us to some rather basic questions of political philosophy, which I think would be off topic for this thread. The fact that this trailer raises that kind of questions holds some promise for the substance of the film, though.
