His character shows up in Black Panther comics a lot. Or maybe they want to put him in role that Coulson had in the Phase 1 pictures, observer/audience proxy.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

One thing that pinged me about the Sovokia Accords, was that I couldn't see Steve putting himself under the control of an organization that he couldn't personally, thoroughly vet. In the MCU, I can't imagine a power center like the UN not being absolutely riddled with Hydra. Having a UN committee running the Avengers would be SHIELD all over again, except this time Steve would suspect if from the start. Tony supposedly found out he'd been helping Hydra via SHIELD, too, after CA: TWS, and thus should have known better. But Avengers aside, Tony held himself apart from SHIELD. Steve seemed to be pretty well embedded in it during CA: TWS. So the whole "half my coworkers were Hydra wtf?!?" thing probably hit Steve harder.

Anyway, I hope to see it again. Maybe next weekend.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I forgot too, my brain went straight to Watson/Wilson and that was painful for me, people.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

His character shows up in Black Panther comics a lot.

Okay, so we may likely see him again. Fair enough.

Tomorrow! I see it again tomorrow!

I saw it today too, although I missed about ten minutes near the end (from about halfway through the airport fight, to just before Tony saw the tape and the final fight started). Something I ate from the concession stand gave be bad gastrointestinal distress, and I had to run out.

So, lots of stuff that's been said already has me nodding my head quite a bit, although my main question in the aftermath is Why were Clint and Sam locked up in the Superhero prison? Take their gear away, and any old prison will do.

Also, Natasha really loves that jump-on-their-shoulders-and-spin-around-their-neck move.

Aww, GI stuff is the worst! you missed Nat choosing to let Steve and Bucky get away from the airport. All of Steve's crew were treated the same way, though Wanda's the only enhanced one: Scott is all suit-based, after all. But I expect a regular prison would still be considered too much of a risk for escape there.

One thing I wished I could have seen was Scott giving pointers on how to be a prisoner; tattoos and making hooch, that sort of thing.
