Ironically and not, that's exactly what Iron Man brought Nu-Spiderman to do in the CW movie. Government is crying about control, so a war profiteer recruits, illegally extricates from the country, arms and indoctrinates a kid to collaborate in a paramilitary action to oppress the following groups represented: war veterans, the elderly, women, foreigners, scientists, disabled, performance athletes, amputees and people seeking asylum.

Geez. Considering the previous movie was about a nazi takeover of the US, seems like someone shoud have seen things coming!

In the comics he's originally on Iron Man's side of registration due to his personal guilt, but then he realizes what a bad idea it is and changes to Cap's side. But yeah in the MCU he's literally a child soldier who doesn't know what he's fighting for.

No he doesn't; he just realizes that it personally inconveniences him because it gets his (only) moral tether killed, and decides to walk back that support to restore his own benefit, at the cost and harm of everyone else.
