He's basically like Oracle.
So what actually happens with the Avengers as a team by the end of the film? Is anybody even an Avenger anymore?
I really believed them when they said the conclusion was a game changer... Ive read some spoilers but so far I dont see a game changer.
Which is still bad, because then they've essentially crippled Rhodey just to give Tony something else cool to do.
I agree. I suppose the game changer is that Steve and Tony are left with a serious grudge, and that we have 2 groups of different Avengers now.
100% valid point. I guess he won't be hanging out in Captain Marvel's movie, unless he gets better. Not that I expected the MCU to go there. Might have been nice, though.

Bucky being put back on ice seems like a counter-productive outcome. Otherwise it sounds great.

Also, what is Zemo anyway? Some sort of politician?
Yeah, people talked about this character dying or that character dying, and this is actually worse because now they have to figure out how to pick up the pieces. It's like that line in the Hamilton musical, from an experienced George Washington to an idealistic Alexander Hamilton: "Dying is easy, young man, living is harder."If that's what happens, it's most likely to put everyone at literally the lowest point they can be - you have the team of "regular" Avengers who are now basically under government control, the rogue former Avengers who were broken out of prison and are now fugitives, Steve probably looking for a way to help Bucky and Bucky stuck back in cryo. And all of that is after a brutal fight between the two groups of former friends. It's an impressively low point to bring everyone to, which is probably the point. They want everyone to be at their lowest right now. It will make the eventual regrouping a lot more triumphant, and all of that jazz.
It just sounds like something that's gonna be hard to watch. Emotional horror story indeed.![]()

Bucky asks to be put back into cryo because he thinks he's dangerous, I think Zemo is still out there or anyone else from Hydra could activate the Sputnik, which would be bad for everyone. I think the only one who can turn off it is Tony, but they are enemies. He is sacrificing to keep Steve and his new friends safe.
With Steve as a fugitive, he would be a problem because his mind is still a mess.
He needs psychological treatment as well, but as fugitive, no one can help him.
Why do you think it would be Tony? Not disagreeing at all, just super curious. But yeah, Bucky's between a rock and a hard place because he desperately needs treatment, but not only is it possible that there isn't anyone who would know how to help him, he and Steve are on the run so he wouldn't be able to get it, most likely, unless someone decided to help them. It's even more sad if it comes out that Bucky was mostly minding his own business in the movie and just wanted to be left alone before the **** hit the fan, because it means he didn't want to be involved in any of this in the first place, and he might have been fine if they'd left him alone and nobody had the chance to trigger him (unless, ofc, Zemo was always going to trigger him; then he never would have had peace regardless).
They've got more important things to worry about!I wonder if this conflict is going to to mentioned in Ragnorok. I wonder what Thor's and Banner's takes on the situation would be.
