The knight in the big world of American TV series

Chapter 2220

Chapter 2220

Then it was Tony's business.

Carter has always had feelings for Tony. Carter has been alone all his life, childless, and the closest person to him is his niece Sharon Carter. Sharon has idolized her aunt Margaret "Peggy" Carter, the legendary spy and co-founder of S.H.I.E.L.D. since she was a child. Carter saw a photo of her aunt with Kennedy and thought she had a cool aunt. When Sharon grew up, Peggy encouraged her niece to engage in espionage by buying her first thigh holster, while Carter's mother was against her joining S.H.I.E.L.D. So, Sharon was forcibly taken back to England when she was a child because her mother didn't want her daughter to become like Carter... At least in the eyes of women of their age, what Carter did was too shocking.

Sharon Carter looks up to her aunt Peggy Carter because she is the co-founder of the famous S.H.I.E.L.D. Sharon Carter is reluctant to reveal her relationship with Peggy because she doesn't want to disappoint her aunt's high expectations.

This also means that Sharon doesn't spend much time with Carter.

So it was Tony, a child with no blood relationship, who spent the longest time with Carter... Of course, this longest time was also relatively speaking. Carter was also very busy... but it was much better than Howard.

Howard is undoubtedly a genius, both in business and scientific inventions. But he is not so good at treating his son. He is a playboy, but he is afraid that his child will become a playboy like him. He discovered Tony's talent very early, and he is smarter and more perceptive than himself. So Howard treated Tony with the most severe attitude, hoping that his son would be better than himself and more responsible, instead of being like himself when he was young, flirting with other women and constantly hurting the people he loved most.

So the relationship between Tony and Howard was extremely tense... In addition, Howard cared too much about the business of SHIELD, which led to him serving the US government for most of his life... If you want to say who is the most loyal to the United States, it is undoubtedly Howard. I just don't know why a big capitalist likes to be so loyal to the United States. You know, the favorite saying of capitalists is that capital has no borders!

Strictly speaking: the profit-seeking nature of capital knows no national boundaries. In capital we are losing our human roots.

Capital was born in Europe. According to its nature, it wants to conquer the world. Therefore, it must regard the needs of all human beings in the world as its market and the resources of the entire earth as its material for proliferation. Therefore, it must cross the borders of Europe and bring about the process of capital conquering the world. World history is formed in this way. Human society is noisy, messy, full of feasting and revelry, and seems extremely complicated, but if you think about it carefully, it is nothing more than the poor pursuing wealth and the rich pursuing pleasure and excitement - basically, that's it. The pathological development of science under the stimulation of capital, greed, and power has made human life lose a lot of interest and full of crises. People always have some things that they are reluctant to give up. This is the weakness of human beings, and it is also the richness of human beings. To measure the material civilization of a society, we must see how its poor live; to measure the spiritual civilization of a society, we must see how its rich people do. Some people often raise a question, that is, what exactly is capital? Capital is water. On the surface, water can flow freely, but in fact, American capital has become a huge container that constantly controls the direction of water flow. So although water can flow, an external force can dominate the direction of water flow.

In short, Howard is too kind-hearted to be a capitalist.

But the tension between father and son actually made Carter, an outsider, become more intimate with Tony.

Especially after the Howards passed away.

Out of guilt, Carter treated Tony even more attentively.

There was no way. Carter knew the truth about the death of Howard and his wife. She knew that Howard and his wife did not die in a car accident, but were killed by Steve's comrade-in-arms Bucky!

For Steve, and to find out what's going on with Bucky.

Carter chose to conceal the cause of the Howards' death.

Out of guilt towards Tony, Carter treated Tony more attentively.

This led to the two of them really becoming family.

But at the same time, when the truth was revealed, the breakup was so decisive!

From the moment Tony learned the truth, he never called Carter 'Aunt' again.

And Kay undoubtedly stood by Tony in this matter. This made Carter very distressed. She knew that what she did was wrong, but she hoped that she could have a good talk with Tony and explain the twists and turns.

She knew that this couldn't mend the rift between them, but at least it wouldn't end up in their current state.

As Tony's friend, Kai, instead of persuading Tony to let go of his hatred, strongly supported Tony's revenge!

This is not a real friend.

At least in Carter's opinion, such people are not friends.

Who would advise their friends to indulge in hatred?

The fact that Bucky killed Howard and his wife is problematic in itself. After all, Bucky once knew Howard... Although he was not as good friends with Howard as Steve, they were familiar with each other. You know, after Bucky was captured for the first time and was rescued by Steve, he joined Steve's special operations team, and Howard had been providing support to this special team. The two were originally friends.

Bucky is also a determined fighter. When Bucky was captured for the first time, the Germans tried to turn him over more than once, but he refused and was tortured to death. If it weren't for Steve, he would have really died.

As a result... now he has rebelled.

There is definitely something wrong here.

It was later proved that there was indeed something wrong with Bucky.

Bucky has been brainwashed.

He didn't even know who he was, so killing his own friend under such circumstances... How could it be justified?

But Kai didn't care much about this fact, and directly told Tony that there was nothing wrong with killing Bucky for revenge!

Kai's view was not from an objective standpoint, but was entirely on Tony's side.

In Carter's opinion, this is just adding fuel to the fire!

That's the difference between Carter and Kai.

From ancient times to the present, there are countless famous quotes about friendship.

A bosom friend is always a friend indeed. A world apart brings a neighbor near. - Wang Bo Do not worry about having no bosom friends on the road ahead, for everyone in the world knows you. - Gao Shi Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity. - Kahlil Gibran.

True friendship is like a wildfire - it shines brightest in the darkest moments around you. - DM

True friendship is a slow-growing plant. --Washington

The friendships they describe are all full of ideals and ambitions, full of honesty and truth. However, in reality, what will happen to such upright friendships?

Imagine a situation where you have an argument with someone and you don’t have the upper hand on the point of view, how would you like your friend to behave?

Researchers believe that conflicts occur quite frequently in the social and political fields, and people often have to take sides when conflicts occur. At this time, making fair and just choices is of course moral, but at the same time, loyalty is also a commendable quality, and this loyalty includes loyalty to friends. If your friend has a conflict with someone else, and you still deal with the conflict impartially and objectively, it is an offense to your friend. Because one of the functions of friendship is alliance, that is, when a conflict occurs, you should be united against the outside world. Researchers believe that as a friend, not standing on your side is a betrayal of the alliance and disloyalty to friendship, which is basically a negative reaction.

To verify the above hypothesis, the researchers conducted several experiments

In the first experiment, the researchers set up the following scenario:

You go to a bar with your good friend A and a new friend B who you just met. You and B were chatting happily at first, but suddenly you started arguing. You yelled, "B, you loser!" B was not to be outdone, "You are the loser."

As they were arguing, B suddenly asked A - your friend, "Who do you think is the loser?"

In a neutral scenario, A said, your quarrel has nothing to do with me.

In the opposing scenario, A—your friend tells you that you are a loser and you should apologize.

In the scenario of partiality, A - your friend says to B, B, you are the loser and you should apologize.

Afterwards, the subjects were asked to answer a few questions:

1. To what extent do you feel that your relationship with A has become closer/distant?

2. To what extent do you feel your friendship with B has been damaged/strengthened?

3. When your friend (A) needs support, to what extent are you willing to support him?

4. In this matter, who is more wrong, you or B?

The results showed that the neutral scenario and the opposing scenario were similar, that is, both were negative feedback. In the question of future support, the score of willingness to support in the neutral scenario was 47, only 5 points higher than that in the opposing scenario, while in the protection scenario, the score of willingness to support was 76, which was significantly different from the other two groups. This experiment also preliminarily demonstrated the researcher's hypothesis that when you are neutral, you are roughly standing on the opposite side of your friend.

So could it be that neutrality itself is disgusting? The researchers conducted a second experiment in which the scenario was very similar, except that this time the subjects became outsiders, and A and B were good friends.

The results still showed that people were just as negative toward neutral friends as they were toward opposing friends. The researchers’ next experiment constructed different levels of relationships, including familiar people and good friends. That is, the subjects’ reactions when a familiar person was neutral/oppositional or a good friend was neutral/oppositional. The results showed that the closer the relationship, the more damage neutrality/opposition caused. In the discussion, the researchers stated that wanting to withdraw from a friend’s dispute will not only fail to establish your image as fair and selfless, but will also damage your friendship and destroy your intimacy. At this time, neutrality is like opposition, which destroys the alliance between you. The researchers finally pointed out that although it is sometimes right not to stand on the side of a friend, you still have to consider it carefully for the sake of friendship.

What Kai did is consistent with psychology!

He undoubtedly stood on the side of his friends, and as for Bucky... who is he?

Kate doesn't know anything!

Moreover, in this matter, Carter did not actually take a so-called neutral or objective stance!

What if, what if, this person is not Bucky. It is someone else, and has nothing to do with Steve.

Would Carter, or even Carter himself, really care? Would they avenge their friend immediately?

I definitely don't think about being neutral and objective!

In fact, they just chose their own sides, Steve cared more about Bucky, and Carter cared more about Steve!

But isn't this choice a betrayal of Howard?

You know, Steve’s iconic shield was given to him by Howard!

(It's even more disgusting in the movie. After Tony was knocked to the ground by Captain America and Bucky, Tony said to Captain America, you don't deserve this shield, and then Captain America gave up the shield directly! In short, Steve doesn't care about Howard's friendship! He cares more about Bucky!)

So Kai actually doesn’t like Carter either!

Of course, the same is true for Carter.

But it was precisely because of this dislike that Carter was able to see Kai more clearly.

She discovered that Kai didn't really care about the so-called country, at least he had no so-called loyalty to the United States. Even if you look at Kai's resume, you will find that he is a soldier who fought for his country, and a very good one.

But it can be seen from Kai's words and actions, and from many of the things he did to him.

He seems to care more about individual morality, he cares about what is good and what is bad!

If you look at his mission logs when he was in the army, you will find that he is not very serious about fighting against the enemies of the United States. He even refused to go to the battlefield in the Middle East and criticized many practices of the United States more than once, but he was much more "enthusiastic" about those so-called drug dealers!

Show no mercy.

The same is true of what he did after retiring from the army.

He is not enthusiastic about, and is even indifferent to, fighting for the interests of the United States as a country.

For example, many people know that he has a very good relationship with Atlantis, but he has never said a good word for the United States in the communication between the United States and Atlantis!

He can clearly distinguish between good and evil, but his attitude towards the United States as a subject is very general.

All I can say is that he doesn't care about this country.

This kind of person... Carter is not easy to evaluate, but in Carter's self-evaluation system, this kind of person will not be evaluated very highly.

Of course, there was one thing she always seemed to overlook.

Why do you, a British person, love America so much?

"With all due respect, Mr. President, I don't think Kai will speak for us on this point."

In one sentence, Kai was put into a separate category.

Kai and we were divided into two entities, and a subtle opposition emerged.

"If Kai was really willing to help, our knowledge of Kamar-Taj wouldn't be so poor."

That's right.

No one can doubt that Kai knows a lot about Kamar-Taj, but how much information about Kamar-Taj did Kai reveal?

The answer is...no!
