Why Civil War has no Villain or "Bad Guy"

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2016)

I really enjoyed Civil War not just for the action but for the meaning behind it. It was different than other similar stories. This time, you could not point at Baron Zemo and say "You are the villain and bad guy," because Baron was also a victim, just like many more others. Civil War really provoked the thought and brought out the old saying "With greater power, comes greater responsibility." The Avengers had the power to prevent evil beings from destroying the world, but they also posed a threat for the same powerfulness.
For me, this really drew a similarity between the superheroes and the nuclear bomb. When USSR and the US competed for nuclear power, you cannot say either side is doing the wrong thing. They both fear the other would control a better technology and decimate them, so they both could not let go, kinda like they are in a tug-of-war.
Under this premise, it was no surprise that after Age of Ultron, Avengers lead by Iron Man began to consider putting more responsibilities and accountabilities on themselves.
That is not to say Captain was wrong in not wanting to sign the agreement. Although their mission killed hundreds at the end, they have saved potentially everyone else on the planet. But that is not a valid excuse to continue to free roam and potentially kill more innocent civilians. This is just like one of the moral dilemmas of choosing between killing 1 person or 3 people tied to train tracks - there is no right answer between the two. The only correct answer is to not put people on the train track in the first place - which brings us to the question of whether the Avengers should be under supervision.
My personal opinion is "yes." Although I agree with Captain that when they are regulated by the government, they could potentially lose time and be late to stop the criminals, but if they work with the government, they can avoid harming civilians much better since now they have millions to back them up. It is, of course, another dilemma between being legal but slowed by government bureaucracy and being illegal and harmful but can save more people. That is why I liked the ending of Civil War where Iron Man now deals with the government but Captain is able to act faster if things ever get too slow on the government side.
Just another thing that we should keep in mind: The only disadvantage in joining the government is the human nature. Being able to give orders to superpowers can corrupt individuals faster than you may think. This was what Captain was worried about. However, that is not an impossible problem to solve. It is impossible to eliminate greed and other desires, but it is possible to select only conscientious and logical people like themselves to be the governing body. With superpowers present, changing that is much easier than doing so in our world. Everyone in the States knows our government can't get anything done because politicians just want the best for themselves, and average individual lack the ability to change that. However, it should be easy to see that it is not the case in the Marvel World. When the governing body becomes efficient, we would see the Avengers unite publicly again.
