10 Biggest Problems With Captain America: Civil War

Think on this one for a second: Tony Stark is motivated to call for superhero registration after he's made to feel bad for the death of a child, so - in order to make it right - he very quickly puts another child's life in danger?

It doesn't matter that Peter Parker is a superhero - the fact that 10 minutes of Civil War is dedicated to Iron Man convincing a teenager to come and do some fighting undermines the entire point of the film. It makes Tony's point null and void. It's not that the scenes in question are bad; in fact, they're awesome. It's that the very act of Iron Man inviting him in explicitly contradicts his whole argument.

And of all the decisions made by the characters in this movie, this is probably the only one that doesn't ring true at all; we can understand Tony's position on superhero registration, even if we don't necessarily agree with it, because we know how he feels about all the deaths he has inadvertedly caused - one of the first scenes of the film is spent getting us to understand exactly that.

It's hard to sympathise with the guy, however, when - at the drop of a hat - he's willing to involve a teenager in a dangerous situation in which he could easily die.
