They could explore the idea of registration in some form, but there's really not enough foundation for even a scaled down "Civil War" because there simply aren't enough players. Plus, one of the major issues in Civil War was accountability; because most superheroes had secret IDs, it was too easy for them to hide if things went wrong. That's not really an issue in the MCU, since pretty much all of the ones we've seen so far don't have secret IDs. Plus with SHIELD and Nick Fury out of the picture, who's going to administer the registration/oversee the heroes? Without SHIELD, the government doesn't really have the infrastructure in place for it.
All in all, it's just too early in the MCU's development to properly pull off a Civil War-type story.
That's not the same thing. The main point of the SRA in Civil War was to give the government control over people with powers and forcing them to work for SHIELD. Most of the people on SHIELD's list aren't actual superheroes and SHIELD didn't really control them, per se, because there wasn't actually any enforceable law against having or using superpowers. And the fact that SHIELD were the only ones with access to the list, speaks directly to my point: Now that there is no SHIELD, who's equipped to deal with them?
Yeah, yeah....it'd be dull if all he did was chase Coulson....if he's ALSO trying to keep track of alien technology and powers, there's all sort of chances for hijinks. It's not just Talbot chasing Coulson.
Well, the way it went with Stark in the comics is not the only way....to make the CW work in the MCU they have to pull a Stark and start enslaving them, there are not enough around to do that, and MCU Stark, unlike the MU versions at least has some morality
Everything's getting worse and worse for the heroes and I couldn't be happier with this show. Poor Fitz, he really thought Ward was his friend. I liked May interacting with Hill. Also one of the things I didn't like about the epilogue of TWS was Hill just working for Stark...the reason MAoS gives has it make sense. Still hoping for Hill to be a recurring character next season.
I'm glad Ward didn't want to kill Skye, makes for their good interaction on their part. Looking forward to his origin next week.
I think he enjoyed torturing Ward...who is a villain...which makes Deathlok heroic.
Or "You have to do a story that has something to do with Asgardians in the episode airing the week after T:TDW and you have to do it on a TV budget and make sure it has nothing to do with Thor himself. If you're lucky, we'll get you Jamie Alexander, but not in that episode".
That'd be good considering how many of the ones from the comics turned out evil.
How big does it get?
Black Widow and Hawkeye were already SHIELD agents and Captain America worked with them, and Falcon trusts Cap. Even Iron Man is a consultant and Thor tells other Asgardians to trust anyone wearing SHIELD's logo. I doubt War Machine would rebel against SHILED (or whatever we want to use in their place), and that leaves us with Hulk, Winter Soldier, and Deathlok. All who are kind of villains anyway. I don't see it. Everyone is as good enough as registered.
I really didn't like Civil War, how are you going to bust out an inescapable Negative Zone prison and technology that takes away powers and only use it on uncooperative heroes? Shouldn't there be, like, no super villains whatsoever if they could do that (aside from the ones they have hunting down heroes, of course)? How were there still villains after Civil War? There are way too many good Marvel stories to adapt into the MCU than to use Civil War (even Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes teased it but just ended up doing Secret Invasion).
They would be, if SHIELD still existed. But it doesn't. It's been infiltrated, corrupted, and destroyed from within and branded a terrorist organization, and pretty much everyone who had been formerly associated with it is under suspicion.
It could be a story, but it wouldn't necessarily be a very interesting one.
I wouldn't count on that just yet. After the issue of that hard drive is resolved, whether Garrett gets the data or not, there's plenty of time for him or his other HYDRA buddies to redirect their attention to the issues that interested all the players in Skye in the first place.
