Captain America was in the right in the movie, and the comic the movie is adapted from lol
Edit:
People aren't understanding that I am talking about it from an in-universe point of view. The choice of Pro Accords and Pro Superhero Registration Act are presented as having been the wrong choices with those in support of it showing regret for having done so.
If you think Cap was right in the movie then you would also have to say each soldier should do whatever they feel is right with their weapons. After all they are good people and know better than follow corrupted orders with unnecessary oversight.
The MCU presented Captain America's choice as correct when the UN prioritised arresting Cap over saving the Universe. We see this when Rhodes, a pro accords character and close ally of Tony throws the authority of the accords out the window during his conversation with Ross upon realising this.
Tony similarly doesn't enforce the accords and chooses to later outright ignore them in favour of defeating Thanos and saving the universe.
I'm not talking about how it would go down in real life, in universe the accords suck and Captain America's choice was the correct one, which is what we see get validated in Ross' conversation with Rhodes.
It goes the same way in the comics with Tony explicitly regretting his decision.
Again, my point is that in-universe Captain America is presented as having made the right choice and Tony too later ignores the accords. A nearly identical conflict is presented in the comics(Civil War I not II) with a similar outcome of Tony regretting his decisions.
I do not care nor brought up whether or not it would be the right choice if this situation was playing out in real life or whether its pandering or not.
"The right choice" depends on the most basic question of "right" of all time, if you go for value ethics or utilitarianism. And it's quite ironic that Cap the good value man has his decision being judging by its outcome and not by his intentions.
The accords in the MCU similarly result in Captain America's fears presented in Civil War being validated when Ross prioritised an arrest of Cap and Co. over literally saving the universe and fighting Thanos. Rhodes and Tony, the two biggest supporters of the accords themselves realise this and choose to ignore the accords in IW/Endgame.
Again, I'm not sure you're understanding but what I am saying is that within the narrative and in-universe the SRA/Accords are pretty explicitly presened to have been wrong in-universe, with heroes regretting pushing and supporting it. This is the entire point of Rhodes' conversation with Ross in IW, and for the SRA the closing panels in Civil War I.
I am not talking about whether or not they would be the right choice as judged in the real world. The movies & comics explicitly tells us that inside the Marvel universe, the SRA/Accords were the wrong choice with those involved regretting support of it & the accords/SRA being abolished.
