Why I Respect Steve Rogers

Did anyone else find it rather out of character for Tony to not read through and the study the accords? After all of the betrayal he’s faced, he’s a suspicious man. Unless, of course, he’s okay with an underwater prison were people are sent without trial? I guess his idea of peace on Earth IS an AI robocop on every corner, so....

Thing is, Tony grew up brilliant, rich, and with little discipline due to absent parents. That absence, by the way, is likely why he craves attention. Tony is accustomed to getting what he wants. He only respects men if they prove themselves. He only respects women if they prove themselves and are off-limits/give him limitations (think Pepper, Natasha, Maria, and Mrs. Barton). It’s no coincidence that Pepper, the one who tells him “no,” who demands he act a certain way, is the woman he falls in love with. But after everything that has happened, Tony’s realized that he needs boundaries. Unfortunately, unlike Steve, Tony isn’t as familiar with good vs. bad authority. He’s a genius, yes, but people skills aren’t his forte. Steve has been under bad leadership. He knows it when he sees it.
