They go from "the War on Terror is a scam and built on lies" (Iron Man) to "SHIELD is full of nazis" (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) to "CIA saves Wakanda".

Iron Man

Even from the very first Iron Man movie, the Marvel films were never against the War on Terror - Tony Stark and Iron Man represented the kind of war that liberals wished they could fight, where the bad guys get blown up and the technology is so good that no civilians are harmed. Compare Iron Man's sleek, smart suit to Jebediah's knockoff at the end of the movie, which is much bigger, and it perfectly mirrors the liberal conception of a good war as being one fought with drones and special forces instead of a big military occupation.

Yeah Tony Stark decides to stop selling weapons to the government (but immediately makes exceptions for War Machine), but then flies to Afghanistan and personally murders a bunch of nameless bad guys. But the audience knows it's good that he flew there to do murders because they take time out of being murdered to act reprehensible while he's doing it.
