The climactic scene of Captain America: Civil War occurs when the biggest names in the Marvel universe come together for a huge fight. Iron Man and Captain America’s forces are at a stalemate. After trying to talk out their differences, diplomacy has ended. What brought them to this lowly state?
Cap and Iron Man do not agree on a proposed regulation. Will they talk out their differences, or fight each other. Unfortunately, it seems that the dominant strategy for both is to fight rather than talk. Thus, the heroes find themselves in a prisoner’s dilemma. A suboptimal outcome ensues as the heroes are on a collision course. A hypothetical payoff matrix and a fun in-class activity are found under the “How to teach” section of the website or by clicking here.
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.
