Helmut Zemo didn't just fracture the Avengers in Civil War, his plan set off the exact three-step chain reaction that made Earth lose Infinity War. When Banner warned Tony about Thanos in Infinity War, Tony hesitated to call Steve on the flip phone because of the Civil War grudge. Five minutes later, Ebony Maw attacked New York, kidnapped Strange, and dragged Iron Man to Titan before Cap could even get on a Quinjet! Because Zemo turned Wanda and Team Cap into wanted criminals, Vision had to turn off his transponder and meet Wanda in secret in Edinburgh, leaving them with zero backup when Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight ambushed them for the Mind Stone! During his breakdown at the start of Endgame, Tony looks right at Steve and says they lost because they weren't together ("We needed you, Cap. In the past tense. That trumps what you need. It's too late buddy... you weren't there!"). Thanos had to fight a half-roster on Titan and a half-roster in Wakanda instead of the full Avengers team at once, all because a normal human with a VHS tape tore them apart from the inside two years earlier! #Marvel #MCU
