Yeah. I'll stick with mentally. I appreciated how everyone had their own point of view, and no one was "right" or "wrong", and maybe there are no right answers, and of course Steve is going to mistrust institutions, and of course Tony is going to try and assuage his guilt, and of course he's rudderless without Pepper. Poor babies.
We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Dana, a lot of people are doing that not just mentally
I have super complicated feelings about Tony. He's not totally wrong -- it would be a stupid lazy caricature of a movie if he were -- and in the places where he fucked up, well, you can see how his enormous damage is driving it. I'm not Team Tony, but I am Team Hug Tony And Get Him 8 Hours A Day Of Therapy And A Puppy Now.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Even when I otherwise adore them, the Tony Stark Defense Squad makes me grind my teeth, especially in the context of something that's labelled a Cap movie.
And there weren't any good answers to be had, there really weren't.

I should specify with whitefont one that it's on Tumblr and meme where the teeth gritting happens.

I just read a post (by Minnow, for those of you who know who she is) that mentioned how Tony always outsourced his restraint. He had people to say "Tony, no", and with this, he was trying to outsource it to the Accords.

I had conversations along that line before the movie!
I am basically only discussing it here. MCU fandom is so fraught right now

Tony loses Jarvis in Ultron (still not forgiving that), he loses Pepper here, and nearly Rhodey. The man's not in a happy place in terms of support.

Oh, he's definitely not. He has PTSD from Manhattan and he has a lifetime of issues from even before he ever ended up in that cave in Afghanistan. He needs intensive puppy therapy.
I'm not anti-Tony, but I am anti-Tony's choices.
I can't stress enough how much I loved the scene where Tony recruited Peter. It got me so hard in all the feels. His entire demeanor with this kid, this insanely brilliant orphan who is JUST LIKE HIM, was a thing of beauty.
Most of me really wants to believe that Steve actually addressed the letter to "Tony Stank."
