it helps that civil war and the confession were beautiful Steve/tony moments that would be tragic to lose.

yeah, see it is only AFTER civil war where the writers right now are desperately TRYING to make it seem like Tony is evil and even then it just doesn't ring true. He is doing what he believes is right, the will of the people. Plus he is all hurty and missing his friends and has been made a symbol, and as such is no longer being taken at face value.

Plus skrulls!

*ahem* been meaning to ask but keep nervously not and/or forgetting- may I friend you and seanchai?
