Can somebody explain the Civil War storyline to a non-comics fan? (I read x-men which isn't really helpful here)
As it stands I can't see what the fight is about. Tony Stark thinks anybody running around in a costume should be registered, why does everybody have a problem with that? Currently anybody running around in a costume will be arrested and jailed if they're caught. Why is expecting to be registered so bad?
How would you even prove somebody is a superhero. You don't have to be a superhero, it doesn't show up in your DNA. Why didn't Spiderman go, oh since rampant viglantism is having a dreadful effect on law & order and general morality, I'll burn the costume and stop, and if anyone fleeing the police runs past me I'll just stick my foot out and trip them up.
Is there some issue or deeper problem here? I don't get it and I'd really like to because angst-filled fighting over points of principle where no one is exactly right and no one is exactly wrong makes my heart pitter-patter - but as it stands I'm mostly just confused.
