Yea, like Eurell said above, I don't think anybody was under anybody else's control, except for maybe Fury and Hill and Coulson interactions. Even between Fury and Cap, none of the interactions felt like orders, which is a nice thing about the universe and their relationships. The group sees Fury and Cap as their leaders, but the relationships are all of mutual respect, and not of subordination. Any one of them can probably walk out on Fury whenever they want, and I get a feeling they won't be pursued (by Fury) as going AWOL.
You stick in something like the Sokovia Accords, and it changes everything.
