So you're saying that because people see Sharon shoot Cap, even though we know it wasn't her fault as she was being "controlled" by Faustus, we should just blame her anyway because people saw it that way? It's the equivalent of of blaming the knife in a stabbing or the bomb in an explosion, not the person holding the knife of the one who set off the bomb.[B]Regardless of what people saw or thought doesn't suddenly mean Sharon's to blame. If I saw you stood over a dead man with gun in your hand of course I'd blame you, but it doesn't necessarily mean I'd be correct tin blaming 🙄Civil War issue #2 Cap portrayed as an outlaw and a fugitive.
Civil War #3 Cap has already gone underground from Cape killers with his Secret Avengers
Civil War issue #6 cap authorises the breaking and entering of the Baxter building, the home of one of the most loved groups of family superheroes in 616.
Civil War issue #7 Various members of the public prevent cap from attacking stark because they don't support Cap anymore.
This is just some of the examples from the main storyline, not including the tie in issues where he is portrayed as a wanted criminal ✅
I don't know perhaps if you were mind controlled/ hypnotized/ brainwashed into doing it and therefore you weren't responsible for your actions but your "controller" was, just possibly like what happened to Sharon Carter. ✅ 🙄 [/B]
I never once said he wasn't a criminal, you said he was "hated" but that's still an over-exaggeration on your part IMO. He wasn't hated at all, even members of the Pro-reg side even saw him as their friends despite all of the things that happened during the "war".
You're reading waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much into this as a comic book reader Will, see it as a normal citizen of the 616 universe, you see Sharon Carter shooting Captain America twice.. its totally different, if they had seen her standing over Captain America with her gun drawn and him shot maybe I could understand (we're over-looking the fact that nobody properly saw her except the evil dude for the sake of the argument).
But lookey here, I'm standing in the crowd outside the courtroom waiting for Captain America to come in, he starts walking in to enter and then suddenly he gets hit in the shoulder from a sniper bullet. He starts to stumble, Sharon Carter rushes over to him and shoots him twice in the stomach.
Now from how I see that, she was the murderer, lets pretend this had happened in real life shall we? What proof is there that she had been mind-controlled? There's none, we only see Carter shooting him in the stomach and she can't exactly give any evidence that she's been mind controlled.
If this were in a court of law and I were to say "oh I've been mind-controlled" do you think it would stand up? No, it wouldn't in the 616 universe either without proper evidence (like in say the Wolverine storyline where he's locked in "The Cage"😉.
I'm not asking you this from a comic book reader, with all the knowledge of what Red Skull had been up to, but as a 616 citizen who witnessed Sharon Carter shooting Captain America twice.
EDIT- I'm not arguing against that she isn't to blame, because I know she isn't, all I'm saying if they looked over CCTV tapes or whatever and see what happens, very clear it will be her that murdered him and there will be no proof otherwise or that she had been mind-controlled -EDIT.
