I think that's a really good point about how they're representing opposed sets of US ideals. You really get a sense of that in the scene where Tony shows Steve the pens and it feels like they're honestly trying to understand each other across the generational gulf, which of course is complicated by the sense Tony has of Steve having, on some level, usurped his position in his father's eyes. It's tricky because Tony knows that's irrational but the feelings don't go away, and Steve can see how difficult it must be for Tony but it's not like there's anything he can do about it, or should be expected to do. Really, Howard has a lot to answer for...
Yeah, I liked T'Challa - would've liked more about his powers but I came home and googled so that took care of that. I liked how they let him be the one to sum up at the end the fact that it had just become a cycle of vengeance for everyone and and he was going to have to step out of that cycle because he could. It sets up a more statesmanlike sense of him that forms a good introduction to what I hope we'll see more of in his own movie: him as king and superhero having to deal with his country's problems on both levels.
