"I won't ask," he says, gently. "But just to bring you up to speed - I'm guessing your Superhero Registration Act is something like the Sokovia Accords. Steve and Tony fell out over that, but I think it would have been sorted out, I think they'd have found a way, if it hadn't been for Zemo and his bombing of the UN peace talks while wearing my face, and the goddamn recording he played for them of the Winter Soldier assassinating Howard and Maria Stark."
