In Zemo's plan there were a lot of variables that just happened to work out in his favor. If Team Iron Man had managed to capture Cap, it was all over. If Cap had bothered to tell Iron Man that there was something going on, it was all potentially over. If Iron Man had brough other teammembers to Siberia (specially Vision), it was all over.

Regarding Steve's characterization, I despised his holier-than-thou attitude (both towards Tony and what the Accords represented). This was only made worse by the fact he kept the secret about the Starks' death, which also turned him into a hypocrite ("Sometimes my teammates don't tell me things"). And when he was caught red-handed, he tried to get away with the "I didn't know it was him".

I agree with you regarding Scott and Clint, specially Scott, being so willing to leave their families behind. What bothered me as well was the fact they both gave Tony flak even though it was their own fault they ended up in prison. And to make matters worse, Clint even joked about Rhodey's injury. That was low.

What is potentially my biggest complaint is the fact that the conflict of ideologies over the Accords, which should've been the centerpiece of the movie, served instead as a backdrop to the heroes acting as pawns of Zemo's plan. None of the two hero/hero fights in the movie were actually driven by the heroes' disagreement over the Accords.
