Phase 4 Finally Makes Civil War's Avengers Complaint Look Stupid
Marvel's handling of the Avengers in Phase 4 finally shows how silly General Ross was to complain about damages in Captain America: Civil War.

InAvengers: Age of Ultron, the team decimates Sokovia, leaving many dead and an entire land mass displaced, and they seemingly didn't have to pay for or even clean up their mess.

In Age of Ultron, the fight leads to 177 Sokovians killed and $474 billion in damages.

Rather, they do what they think is right and necessary in the heat of a fight, using whatever they
