i’m all for the don’t-hold-a-grudge message of civil war but i do not think tony “feels entitled to take the life of an innocent human being to satisfy his own anger” stark deserved steve apologising for lying

tony “claims the moral high ground vis-a-vis the accords despite the fact that he broke the agreement the moment he didn’t like his new boss’s decision” stark

tony “holds bucky responsible for the winter solder’s crimes even though he was literally brainwashed while simultaneously feeling like his own tragic backstory is a good enough excuse to commit murder” stark

tony “beats steve to a pulp for having the nerve not to take his side in the fight when he’s genuinely trying to murder bucky even though he’s told that bucky is innocent” stark

and i’m supposed to believe that steve looked at everything that tony did and went maybe i should apologise for lying to him. that was the real problem here. attempted murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon are just water under the bridge

I chose to see it as Steve making amends for his own conscience regardless of Tony’s actions.  After all, just like Wanda says earlier in the movie ‘I can do nothing about their fear, I can only control my own’, I think that Steve is being accountable for his own actions. 

That’s just me tho.
