Public Perception
The way the Marvel Cinematic Universe public react to this conflict and the reasons for it could be key to its outcome – after all, it’s the death of innocent civilians that prompted the Sokovia Accords in the first place. That’s not to say that whoever they side with will win, as it depends on exactly what the public have been led to believe in the first place.
If the public have been manipulated by someone like Baron Zemo to believe that one team is in the wrong, they will turn against that team and support the wrong team. If the public know the truth from the start, they will support the correct team.
Regardless, public perception will be key, as that is a great tool to utilize when it comes to presenting one team as being morally right. If the public support the wrong team, their opponents will win. If the public support the right team, that team will win.
Speaking of Baron Zemo, incidentally…
