CMV: I think Iron Man/Tony Stark was right in Captain America: Civil War [MCU]

To be clear here I genuinely want my view to change and my friends have tried with little success, and so part of me thinks maybe Stark was wrong and I want him to be wrong but I'm just not convinced yet. And second I don't think his actions specifically relating to Bucky are justified and don't want that view changed, he was rattled and not thinking clearly, I'm specifically discussing signing the Sokovia Accords.

I think that as a normal person in the MCU I would want the Avengers to answer to the UN in some way especially after these tragedies and Sokovia/Ultron, and looking at real life it's hard to trust private paramilitary groups with no oversight of any kind.

As an outside observer its very easy to say Captain America is right because we as the audience know that Steve Rogers is objectively a good guy with his heart in the right place and the same can be said for his allies, but in real life checks and balances are important because we can't know for sure. And yeah sure sometimes governments can be wrong or slow or corrupt but that's a lot better than completely unchecked power (I'm not going to find any libertarian anti-regulation arguments very compelling in this regard; see Gary Johnson being booed for supporting the concept of drivers licenses).

Tony himself even said the Accords could be changed to add more safe guards and Cap was on board until he got mad about the unrelated fact that Wanda was being kept at the Avengers compound by Vision. I just think it's hard to agree with Cap on this one.

Edit: I was reminded that I want to make it clear I am aware of how the comics did Civil War and specifically wanted to only discuss the MCU for reasons I think are pretty clear lol.

Part of the point of the movie was that neither side was completely 100% right. However, there were very legitimate problems with the Sokovia accords:

1) They required a superhero registry: This would mean that any superheroes trying to keep a secret identity could be found out and likely that powered people who choose not to be superheroes would also have to go on a registry

2)  Oversight speed. While with virtual technology now this one could probably be fixed, what of you need to do something in the moment but have to wait for permission.

3) Who's giving oversight? The UN has difficulty with this problem because certain countries have veto power. So in the end the Sokovia Accords become problematic for the same reason the Avengers are: humans are fallable and can be manipulated.
