Oof @ItsAsIf great explanation

@ItsAslf Cap wasn't responsible for Charlie Spencer's death, that was Ultron (and if you want to go a step farther back, Tony). Lagos had nothing to do with Cap protecting freedom, that was Wanda making a mistake. The only deaths that resulted from the Sokovia Accords were Zemo's fault, the UN explosion.

In fact, if Cap hadn't broken the Sokovia Accords and did superhero stuff without permission, Vision would have died much soon than he did, Thanos would have gotten the Soul Stone, and Thanos would have won much faster in Infinity War. If Scott hadn't broken he Sokovia Accords, Janet would be stuck in the Quantum Realm, Ghost would have died, and Sunny Burch would have gotten the lab to do G-d knows what with it. The end of Doctor Strange is after Civil War, and if he didn't break the Sokovia Accords, then Dormammu would have consumed Earth.

Now let's look at when people did follow them, like Peter in Homecoming. By listening to Tony, he almost let Toomes get away with stealing a lot of Avengers equipment. It was only when he decided to ignore Tony (and the Accords) that he could save the day.

The Sokovia Accords wouldn't have prevented anything, and if anything would have proved a hinderance if they were ever actually followed.

The way I see it... the Sokovia Accords only prevents the Avengers from taking action without the UN's permission, if said action is occurring outside of the US. Indeed their actions in Washington, D.C. and New York were part of the blame the Avengers had to carry to eventually decide to follow the Accords, but I believe there would be less stress between Iron Man having to stop an alien invasion in New York, so he would likely be forgiven in that case.

Forgiven for breaking the law is the point though. He shouldn't have to be forgiven, since these instances require immediate action. If the Avengers had waited for Ultron to destroy Sokovia, there'd be no more humanity.

I love all you guys’s points on this post. Thank you fr for being so insightful

@Brett3801 Exactly... I suppose Iron Man would be called to intervene in the New York invasion of the Black Order anyway, Iron Man just anticipated any permission he would have required, so I assume he would be ok with it.

Which is exactly why the Accords are pointless. If Tony and Peter are allowed to just do that anyway, what's the point of them?

For safety of logic

But it's illogical. Tony had to break the law in order to save the day, so why have the law there? It's just a hindrance.

Laws are meant to be broken anyway
