i just read an interesting comment from this post on reddit:
“Bucky was an American, disabled veteran, war hero, and senior citizen. His targets weren’t wartime combatants, they were American civilians. His handler (in TWS) was an esteemed American politician who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
If something like Bucky’s situation is possible, what could happen in a world where the Avengers are put under the leash of the Accords? I mean the guy who acts as the UN representative (Ross) was the guy who created the Hulk by accident when he was trying to restart the super soldier program.
In this universe, it’s not even paranoia, it’s pattern recognition.” [x]
