That's ignoring any reason he has to distrust that supervision/oversight.

So Robert Redford was going to be in charge of the supervision/oversight? I thought the Accords said the UN would be in charge of the supervision/oversight. So Cap distrusts the UN? Or is it really because Cap wants to be a tyrant with no supervision/oversight on his power and authority?

This is why Civil War is such a huge failure of a movie. Saying "I don't trust the supervision/oversight" is the STUPIDEST excuse ever. It's like someone saying "I don't trust Donald Trump so I won't trust whoever wins the election in 2020 or 2024 or any future Presidential elections."

Governments are NOT corrupt. Individuals are corrupt. When Richard Nixon broke the law, the people didn't say "The Presidency is corrupt. Let's abolish the Presidency and have no President anymore." The people said "Nixon is corrupt. Let's get rid of Nixon and bring in a new President."

There was NO REASON for Cap to not sign the Accords other than the fact that Cap thinks that since he's more powerful than the rest of the people, he should rule over the people like a tyrant and he shouldn't have any supervision/oversight on his power and authority.

That was a flaw in the character's thinking, that corruption in authority made him think he was above it. He saw enough corruption and attempts to take advantage of their power to lead him to believe that he needed to be his own decision maker in how he used his power. Authority thought elsewise.

That's no flaw in the movie's narrative. Iron Man saw the need to answer to the authority even if corrupt, because he saw how taking on too much power almost undid everything with the Ultron debacle he created. Caps flaw is what drove this story and divided the heroes. Caps did end up a fugitive from justice didn't he?

All you are doing is making a case for Iron Man's stance, not one against the film.
