"Hey, did you see Avengers yet?"

"No."

"Me neither."

"Yeah."

"Who do you think is the lonliest avenger?"

"... I dunno, maybe Bruce Banner."

"The Hulk? Why?"

"He has no one really, and he has to stay away from people too."

"But he chooses to isolate himself."

"Oh yeah."

"I think its Captain America."

"Cap? Why?"

"Well, think about it. He's pulled out of time and thrown into modern day, and all his friends are dead, and the girl he loves is old and dying and has dementia and his best friend is trying to kill him and is a weapon of Hydra, and the morals he was raised on back in 1940, like patriotism and honor and courage are no longer a thing. He doesn't really belong in the modern world."

"... wow."

"I know."

"How long did it take you to think of that?"

"That's all you got from all of that?"

"No, I got it, pulled from time, friends and family are dead, best friend now a weapon, I got it. But that's deep thinking."

"I'm proud of that."

"Good for you, Marvel nerd."

"You're one too, shut up."

"I can't deny that."

"... oh my God."

"What?"

"I just had a brilliant and depressing thought all at the same time."

"What is it?"

"What if the only reason Tony Stark became a superhero is because his dad talked about Captain America, the first superhero ever, all the time?"

"..."

"..."

"Oh my God."

"I know!"

"Oh my God."

"I understand your pain."

"Why would you say something like that to me?"

"I just wanted to share my idea!"

"You know I love Iron Man!"

"But I love Captain America!"

"Iron Man is better. He has a suit."

"And what is he without it?"

"A genius billionaire playboy philanthropist."

"... okay, I walked right into that one, but really, he is kind of a jerk."

"How dare you say that!"

"I said it! He's mean to anyone except Pepper and he can't get along with others!"

"Like Captain America is a total angel!"

"He's a team player, unlike Iron Man! He's a soldier; he works to better the lives of millions."

"Yeah, he's a soldier, not a superhero!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"What?"

"Do you realize what Marvel has done to us?"

"What?"

"Captain America: Civil War against Iron Man. They've already started the war. They've planted it inside us even now. They're making us fight!"

"..."

"..."

"Damn they're good."
