With the Accords in place, the Avengers would be beholden to the government, and because of past damage, the UN might decide to not let the Avengers fight a future conflict. If the conflict is big enough (or cosmic enough), this could lead to the government being in over their heads, and a lot of civilians getting hurt or killed. The UN having this kind of hold on a group of superheroes means that they decide which conflicts are worth having superheroes intervene in, and Steve doesn't believe that they should be able to make that call.
The most significant moment in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law's penultimate episode on Disney+ was the return of Matt Murdock. Not because fans got Daredevil, but because during his legal battle with Jennifer Walters, the Man Without Fear revealed that Captain America won the MCU civil war. She-Hulk Season 1, Episode 8, "Ribbit and Rip It" thus changed the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States caused nationwide hysteria over issues of national security, domestic terrorism, and civil liberties. The US government addressed these issues by passing the PATRIOT Act and launching a full-scale war against terrorism and its supporters, while citizens in many parts of the country "erected spontaneous memorials consisting of candles, flags, and posters of missing people." However, the prevailing atmosphere of grief and distress soon gave way to sentiments of nationalism, patriotism, and American heroism. While this response was reflected in many pop-culture products of the time, perhaps no format was better suited to portraying "heroism" than comic books. In fact, the regular storylines of comics like Captain America and Spider-Man were temporarily suspended and 9/11 dominated the next few issues. These issues discussed the superheroes' inability to stop the attacks and asked whether superheroes could still protect society in the twenty-first century. This trauma was revisited when Marvel comics produced the multivolume, crossover superhero storyline Civil War over a period of roughly one year between 2006 and 2007. The Civil War plot, while demonstrating similarities to events that took place around September 11, was crafted as an allegorical treatment of the American Civil War and the terrorist attacks addressing contentious post-9/11 debates over national security and civil liberties. In particular, the series critiqued the American hyper-nationalism of the time by portraying Captain America's alienation from American patriotic ideology, which had previously been his character's foundation.
