One of the things that was very interesting about Civil War was the way it made Age of Ultron better in retrospect because of the theme and variation that was going on. In Age of Ultron, Stark's mistakes didn't tear the team apart, because no one relied on him to keep them together. But in Civil War, Roger's mistakes can and do tear the team apart.

And in many ways his mistakes are all tied to his reactive nature. Captain America is symbolized by a shield. He protects the defenseless, he doesn't start fights, and that's what makes him special. But he also doesn't try to head off problems before they become disasters, he just deals with the disasters. If he had gone out and found Bucky between Winter Soldier and now, things would have been better; if he had told Stark about his parents under calmer circumstances instead of hoping it never became a crisis, things would have been better. And he doesn't think lack of oversight has become a crisis yet, so he doesn't see the need to address it.
