the Captain America defense of Bucky and refusal to comply with the Sokovia Accords is a very interesting ethical debate to me. I can argue and see both sides.
Look if it was one of my friends who had his mind taken over and had killed dozens if not hundreds of people Captain America would not allow me to keep my friend from judgement and potentially jail under the 'but he was brain washed defense'. He would walk right through me, apprehend my friend and submit him to the court system and whatever happened after that he would not concern himself with.
Similarly with the Slovokia Accords if I or a group claimed to be 'sovereign citizens' and tried to opt out of the gov't systems I think Cap would be one to bring us to justice.
And yet in both situations I think Cap does have the moral high ground. So this is a question of when does the Moral Right trump the Rule of Law. And the only answer I can see for that is 'when you have enough power to not submit and to assert your moral choice'.

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Off to a Blockbuster Start with $76 Million in China
“Avengers: Infinity War” has made a blockbuster start in China, the last major market to release the Disney-Marvel title.
By 10 p.m. Friday in China, the film had earned $66 million (RMB423 million) on its first full day of release, according to data from China Box Office. That gave it a 96% share of all cinema revenues in China that day.
The $66 million came on top of about $9.3 million earned in previews Thursday, according to Ent Group. That gives the superhero tentpole an estimated opening total of close to $76 million.
Disney reported pre-sales and midnight screening figures of $65.4 million for the three-day opening weekend. That is an all-time record for Disney in the Middle Kingdom.
“Avengers: Age of Ultron” has the highest full opening-weekend score for the “Avengers” franchise with $156 million, which is also the fourth-highest opening score of any film released in China. “Monster Hunt 2,” released during the Chinese New Year holiday period in February this year, holds the all-time record with a $187 million start.
To the end of Wednesday, “Infinity War” had a global gross of $1.251 billion. That comprised earnings of $479 million in North America and $772 million in international markets.
The Marvel Comic Universe is already the biggest foreign movie franchise of all time in China, with a combined gross of $1.12 billion (RMB7.1 billion), ahead of “Fast & Furious” with $913 million (RMB5.8 billion) and “Transformers” with $834 million (RMB5.3 billion).

Is that particularly noteworthy? It has more movies than the other two combined doesn't it? Like 18 v 8 v 5? If anything Transformers is the p4p champ

LMFAO. So many people lost their shit when Marvel released that. Some of the comments were priceless. My personal favourite,
"You made Captain America into a fucking Nazi! I hope Jack Kirby crawls out of the grave and stabs you to death with pencils!"<45><Lmaoo>
Of course, it will never happen in the MCU. For one thing, it would alienate too many fans. For another, Evans is done after A4, so it would have to be Bucky as Cap.

The movie has been subtly changed for the Chinese market. It's official title is now,
Infinity War: Wong Saves the Universe.
Starring Wong.
Co-starring a bunch of round-eyes. None of whom are as awesome as Wong.

Didn't they tease Wong as a bad guy at the end of Doctor Strange?
He is talking the long burn approach to his scheme
