Civil War

Snapshots

[Mrs. Sharpe] Goliath knew what he was doing. He was breaking a law designed to save people’s lives. If he’d only gone legitimate. He’d still be alive. This is no more your fault than a cop could be blamed for shooting a punk who pulls a gun on him.

[Sue Storm] This is because our hands are soaked in Bill Foster’s blood, and you’re so blinded by your graphs and social projections that you can’t even see it.

[Ironman] What you need to appreciate is that there are forces within S.H.I.E.L.D. and the government who would like nothing more than to absolutely outlaw all superhumans. The compromised we offered them was regulating our behavior! Because going back to the good old days was never on the table, Peter!

Oh God, please tell me we aren’t so far gone that we’re signing up The Punisher? [Luke Cage] Your call, Cap. Do we hand this nut over to the cops or do we hear what he has to say? [Captain America] Quiet, Cage. I’m thinking.

[The Watcher] How long since you have eaten now, Stephen Strange? [Dr. Strange] Just a little water since the civil war began, Uatu. [The Watcher] Are you not tempted to simply end it? With your great power, you could stop this quarrel with a gesture or a whisper. [Dr. Strange] Precisely why I must remain above the fray. There is no right or wrong in this debate. It is simply a matter of perspective, and it is not my place to influence the evolution of the superhuman role. [The Watcher] As a watcher, I am more than familiar with such dilemmas. But tell me: Why are you fasting if you favor no side? What outcome are you meditating for? [Dr. Strange] Whichever victory is best for all mankind, my friend, and spills the least amount of blood tonight.

[Johnny Storm] Cap, what are you doing? They’ll throw us in jail if you surrender. [Spiderman] We were beating them, man. We were winning back there. [Captain America] Everything except the argument.

[Reed Richards] But the opinion polls and utopian ideals mean nothing unless you’re here beside me, my darling. I promise: No more traps. No more clones. None of those painful things we had to do on that path to respectability.
