Captain America or Iron Man?

Their political philosophies have evolved over the last few movies. Cap started as a true blue for Uncle Sam and now is a rebel. Iron man started as more of a rebel and now is playing more of an establishment man...

It really is amazing how the movies, on a very shallow level, make valuable points about the world ProudToBeBlueInRhody May 2016 #1

But I will say Tony STARTED as a establishment, a weapons dealer, who THEN changes based on learning where the weapons end up. So he has sort of flipped twice.

I was team Iron Man, basically because Cap is way too loyal to a guy who is essentially a zombie.

In that I was raised by conservative parents and indoctrinated with conservative values, but then grew suspicious of what was really going on.

So, I guess that gives me a little more empathy for Steve Rogers. Plus, I grew up poor, not a poor-little-rich-boy like Tony Stark.
