I'm not sure these conversations are moving in the right direction, though. Black Panther's arc in Civil War is great, but it's also a movie that tries to whitewash a lot of its characters' crimes. The way it presents Tony's guilt, for example, is telling. It tells us that he's being held responsible for collateral damage in Avengers missions, something that he's only partly responsible for. No one - not even the people who know about it - ever points out that he's the one who created Ultron in the first place, and thus caused all those deaths. Or Wanda, who we're asked to see as an innocent who is being persecuted because she's different, not because she's a terrorist and a murderer. Or, for that matter, the implicit assumption that there's something wrong with wanting Bucky to stand trial for all the murders he committed - just because he has a killer insanity defense doesn't mean he shouldn't make it in court.
