CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR (2016) blew me AWAY. | First time watching

Dear fellow Marvelites,
Captain America: Civil War is a game changer! This film goes beyond the traditional superhero narrative, offering an epic, high-stakes conflict that pits our beloved Avengers against each other. The movie is packed with AWESOME action sequences, but it's the gripping ideological battle at its heart that truly sets it apart. Join me as I experience the action, the drama, and the passion of this crew.

Tony and Steve’s perspectives were flipped based on events in past movies. Tony created Ultron, which resulted in the kid’s death; he feels guilty and realizes he is not always right, so is more open to oversight. Steve originally trusted the government, but the events of Winter Soldier gave him doubts about institutions, and now believes that the Avengers are more trustworthy than government.

[@aaronbeatdown]

Steve's disillusionment actually started in Avengers, when he finds out that SHIELD is using the Tesseract to make weapons, which Steve actively fought against.

[@ghstdnsr]

A number of things, lines or whatever are actually attached to future movies and show and often go un-noticed, Like Rhodies crash, the call that Tony gets while reading Steve's letter.

@@Voltairus30 yeah, well then I’m guilty too. You catch a lot with rewatches. I doubt everyone catches everything on the first go around, and sometimes reactors make connections that hadn’t occurred to me even with many rewatches

[@fortunatus1]

@@aaronbeatdown Moreover, the World Security Council that governed SHIELD decided to nuke New York City in Avengers. Steve learned from his movies that the best hands are HIS. Not the governments and not even Tony Stark's. And he was right.

[@Alewaxon]

@@fortunatus1 was he tho? was he right? But hell, probably a conversation that would need to wait so it isn't spoilery... But the reality is that, based on your opinion and one that I've always thought about, Rodey's line to Cap I've always found very very pointed... When he tells him "Sorry, Steven. That's dangerously arrogant"; when they are talking about other people telling them what to do... And it goes to what you said, that Cap, as one of the leaders of the Avengers (certainly the de facto leader when it comes to strategy and missions) is usually the one that makes the decisions; so he isn't only saying "WE are the best suited to decide what to do", he is also saying "I'm the one that should decide"... And that's, like Rhodey said, "dangerously arrogant" and faulty as hell... What makes Steve the highest authority in THE ENTIRE WORLD? What makes you think that he is so flawless? Not able to make mistakes... He proved this movie, with Bucky, that he can't think straight when it comes to his personal feelings and attachments; which is understandable, but then let's not pretend that he should be the one who decides what happens IN THE ENTIRE WORLD and it's people There are many many many many issues with the idea that Cap should be the one calling ALL the shots... He isn't "perfect" as a person, but let's also talk about the external implications of it... Why would anybody in Colombia, China, Japan, Netherlands be ok with CAPITAN "AMERICA" saying to them: "I know better than anybody what should be done in this world; better than you, better than the people you elected in your countries, better than your own heroes... I am the one who decides"... The geopolitical aspect of it as a non starter for a lot of people... If we were to entertain the idea that one being in their group should be trusting with "total" power over their decisions, it wouldn't be Steve; it sure as well wouldn't be Tony either, it would probably be Vision... And Vision itself was against the idea of believing themselves to be sooo impervious to wrongdoings that they shouldn't be kept in check by anybody

[@neospock5034]

Most people don't argue that point, it's not much of a contest. Cap had one good movie followed by two great ones. Iron Man had one great movie followed by one weak one, then one that's polarizing, equally loved and hated. Thor had a good movie, a weak movie. then a polarizing one that was equally loved and hated. Only Cap had two outstanding movies in his trilogy. Only Cap didn't have any weak/subpar movies in his trilogy.

In the MCU Black Panther has almost identical physical abilities to super-soldiers like Captain America and Bucky. Enhanced strength, speed, agility etc. In addition he has the vibranium Panther suit which makes him bulletproof and gives him claws which are just as durable as Cap's shield.

“I’m shocked Captain America isn’t in favor of sacrificing freedom for order.” You might want to rewatch Winter Soldier. It clearly demonstrates Caps’ feelings on the issue and makes his actions in Civil War very logical for his character.

[@blueroninstudios]

Exactly. If you remember correctly, Fury was on board with those automated helicarriers bristling with weapons to kill thousands of people until cap told him "this isn't freedom, this is FEAR." Cap is all about freedom and every person's right to choose, American or otherwise. You take that freedom away, like HYDRA did to Bucky, and like they tried to do inside SHIELD, Steve's gonna aheva very big problem with that, so if you're HYDRA, the last thing you see before getting knocked out is the sound of a spinning disk of vibranium being hurled in your general direction, lol!

There are a lot of little moments that she forgets about or misses. Which is fine because blind one time reactions on camera will do that.

[@PhilBagels]

But she was right about Tony. He should have known better than to trust the same people who tried to nuke New York, tried to steal his suit, broke into his house, essentially put him under house arrest and threatened him with violence if he tried to leave - all with no trial or even an accusation of a crime. Granted, Tony might not have known about all the horribly illegal stuff Ross did in The Incredible Hulk, but he's been a bad guy since we first met him. And SHIELD has been doing some corrupt things since we first met them.

[@genghisgalahad8465]

Yeah, Cap is the man! Actual honorable soldier and not a goon tool like Rumlow.

It baffles me.

[@Gojirastar5477]

Alot people miss that in that scene and the confusion on Bucky's face when he looks at the news paper. Also, if you pay attention to the fights, Bucky's fighting style is changes when he's in Winter Soldier mode. In the apartment fight he tries to use the metal arm as a defensive measure but as the Winter Soldier he uses it as a full on weapon.

They don't do a good job of making Vision's powers entirely clear. His primary ability is to control his own density. He can become fully immaterial, like a ghost, which is why you see him walk through the wall and some of Hawkeye's attacks pass through him. He can also become ultra-dense and nearly indestructible, such as when Hawkeye's attacks shattered against his face. When Wanda uses her powers to stop him, she's forcing him into his ghostly state, allowing Hawkeye to step free, then making him super-dense, so he falls through all the floors of the building. Also, he can fly and project a beam from the Mind Stone in his head, but that's pretty obvious I think.

[@louisfrancisco2171]

When Warmachine tells Steve he is a criminal, he clearly doesn't fully understand the situation. A murder squad was sent to kill Bucky, which is probably illegal in any civilized country. The criminals in that scene are the one who sent the squad (probably Ross) and the German police who followed that illegal order from a foreign individual.

[@roberttruhn5067]

Steve Rogers understands the concept of "total war," and he also is dealing with Hydra's infiltration/corruption from within of SHIELD, so he has a new healthy mistrust of large institutions. Tony Stark is dealing with his own personal crisis of faith, as his rebelliousness led to Utron's rampage, so he is focused on the need for oversight. I'm Team Cap all the way, but Vision's perspective is also compelling. Fantastic movie - it's on my Top 10 list.

Winter Solider was the one that hooked me. The first Captain America movie was kinda corny. I only liked the first Iron Man, the following ones didn't do it for me. Thor movies were meh. But the Winter Solider and Civil War touched on certain ideas of freedom and choice and how todays world seemed to have forgotten how valuable that is. Also how dangerous it was to give that power to institutions. These 2 movies also made Cap America the most interesting character.

9:40 that's Thunderbolts Ross, who was the general chasing Hulk in The Incredible Hulk

[@Caseytify]

P.S. Visions powers are not limitless. He's strong, and his vibranium body is durable. His other main power is that he can can change the density of his body; for example he became immaterial enough to fly through Ant-Mans body. Wanda made him become so dense he fell through the floor. Zemo is an atypical villain. He really just wants revenge for his family. BTW it's pronounced ZEE-mo. 😏

[@jabecker21]

Loved your reaction to this epic movie! It's very interesting to discuss the two sides that Tony & Steve took on the accords and thinking they each should have been on the opposite side. I think what you're seeing is that each of them are about halfway through their personal journeys. It's true that Tony started out very arrogant but starting in his first movie when he saw his weapons being used by terrorists the first thing he did was put himself under check by shutting down the weapons division of his company. From there he has made more and more decisions based on what he thinks is best for the public, not necessarily himself. Steve started his journey really seeing the good in things only to see Shield creating the hellicarirers in Winter Soldier and then finding out it was Hydra all along, so he no longer has any trust in government entities. Glad you're enjoying the MCU so much and that you like to really analyze the films. I vote YES on Star Wars. I'd say that depending on how much you know about the plot already is the order you should watch them in. If you know absolutely nothing then the release order is the best.

[@CristyReacts]

I know a LITTLE BIT about Star Wars... some of the classic lines ("Luke, I am your father") and such... because of pop culture references. But I've actually never seen any of them! So would you say release order is the best?

[@jabecker21]

@@CristyReacts Yeah, I'd go release order. You'll also definitely get less messages from people telling you "you're doing it wrong" that way. It also depends on if you are going to add in any of the tv shows (there's multiple series both animated and live action). Those, and some of the side movies, I would add in chronologically. I can send you a recommended list if you'd like.

[@jabecker21]

@@CristyReacts Here's the Star Wars order I'd recommend if you want to watch everything. It's the major Episode films in release order with all of the side movies and series added in chronological order. You should at least watch the Episode films and Star Wars Story films. If you end up really liking the first three films then I would recommend adding in the live-action series. If you absolutely love them and want to be a completest you can add in the animated series but some of those have a lot of seasons and will slow you down from watching the major films. • Episode IV - A New Hope • Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back • Episode VI - Return of the Jedi • Tales of the Jedi (animated series episodes 1-3) • Episode I - The Phantom Menace • Tales of the Jedi (animated series episode 4) • Episode II - Attack of the Clones • The Clone Wars (animated film & animated series seasons 1-6 & season 7 episodes 1-9) (episodes aired out of order so there’s a chronological order you can look up) • Episode III - Revenge of the Sith • The Clone Wars (animated series season 7 episodes 10-12) (there’s also a really cool fan edit inserting these episodes into Episode III film) • Tales of the Jedi (animated series episode 5) • The Bad Batch (animated series) • Solo - a Star Wars Story • Obi-Wan Kenobi (live-action series) • Tales of the Jedi (animated series episode 6) • Rebels (animated series) • Andor (live-action series) • Rogue One - a Star Wars Story • (this is where Episodes IV - VI fall in Chronological order) • The Mandalorian (live-action series seasons 1-2) • The Book of Boba Fett (live-action series) • The Mandalorian (live-action series season 3) • Ahsoka (live-action series) • Resistance (animated series season 1) • Episode VII - The Force Awakens • Episode VII - The Last Jedi Episode • Resistance (animated series season 2) • Episode VII - The Rise of Skywalker

[@alexspindler1]

Loved that you loved this movie! It's tied for favorite Marvel movie and so much happens. But even with the massive cast, it's about Cap and Tony's different directions being pushed by Zemo. A really good villain driven by revenge against the Avengers for what they're responsible for. You're completely right that it's so strange for them to be on the sides of the accords from where their characters started but they've both changed and learned so much. Tony has directly faced the consequences of his own actions by being injured by his own weapons, directly attacked by his own creation in Ultron, she made aware of the collateral damage in Sokovia. He doesn't want to feel responsible anymore. Cap started completly devoted to the chain of command but he really felt betrayed when he found out Nick Fury was developing Hydra weapons from the Tesseract in The Avengers. Nick was doing it out of fear of the new threats like gods on earth but it was not a small thing to him. Little did they know that Shield was corrupt at it's core with Hydra. He can't trust organizations anymore and takes on the responsibility (and consequences) of his actions. There is the issue as well of people who can separate themselves from the hero by taking off a suit and those who can't. Being restricted from leaving your house because of what you are is an issue that bubbles up in other universes like The X-Men (quite a few great movies in there).

[@inarar5334]

They definitely would have been on opposite sides of the argument when we first met them. But the events of the movies in between have Steve believe less in those who give orders, especially against his own personal moral values; and Tony being his own worst enemy and because it's Tony, if he needs minding, so does everyone else.

[@Saje3D]

I just want to point that Steve ALWAYS sucked at following orders. He broke the law attempting to enlist multiple times, then disobeyed orders to rescue Bucky. He’s never been a “company man.” Took him all of five seconds to decide Tony’s suspicions in The Avengers were worth investigating. He does what he thinks is right regardless of what others think or even what he’s supposedly obligated to do. That was a part of his persona from the beginning. People miss that. A lot. And at no point does Tony decide to follow the rules himself. He smuggles Peter in and out of Germany, certainly doesn’t offer his identity or powers up to the authorities according to the very law he’s allegedly enforcing, and effectively deploys a human trafficked child soldier. He still doesn’t give a fart about anyone else’s rules. Just what HE wants.

[@LittleGalaxyBoy]

24:20 Oh yeah that would've been a massive shock for people watching the MCU without all the trailers, leaks, and rumours surrounding these films around the time they were released. We knew for a while that Marvel Studios were trying to bring Spider-Man into the MCU, a good few years for people following the whole Sony and Marvel drama. Little background. Sony own the film rights to Spider-Man since 1999 when Marvel sold many of there Movie IPs off to differant companies in hopes of making money as Marvel were facing Bankruptcy, Marvel later went bankrupt in 1996. This was all before Marvel had there own in house studio so everything pre MCU was created by Fox, Sony, and Universal making it difficult for any early Marvel film to cross over for legal reasons. Sony developed a Spider-Man trilogy in the early 2000s starring Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker and directed by Sam Rami. I'm pretty sure there was plans for an X-Men character to show up in one of the films like Spider-Man (2004) but that never happened, Fox own X-Men so legal stuff etc. There were plans for a fourth film in 2008/2009 but that was cancelled and Sony rebooted Spider-Man with Rami stepping down as naturally he would've preferred to stick with his idea, cast etc. Marc Webb came in and directed The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) releasing the same year as The Avengers, making it the first Spider-Man film to release during the MCU. This film starred Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker and was a full reboot with it's own origin story, cast etc. No connection to the past trilogy. And because of it's release alongside Avengers, Marvel actually tired to connect both films together by having the OsCorp Tower from Amazing Spider-Man be featured in the New York Skyline within The Avengers (2012). OsCorp is owned by Norman Osborn a Spider-Man character, connecting Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man to the MCU. But as we know this never happened and both Toby and Andrew's Spider-Men connected to exist within there own universe. When Amazing Spider-Man 2 didn't do the best Kevin Feige the president of Marvel Studios met with Amy Pascal a producer who has worked on pretty much all the Spider-Man films in giving her advice on what to do leading to plans of introducing Spider-Man into the MCU. And thus we got a 15 year old Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War. If Andrew was the MCU Spider-Man then Peter would've been 18+ as a High School graduate and most likely in College. In the Civil War comic Peter was in his early 20s so this would've been closer to what we got in the comics. All of this is also why we've haven't seen any X-Men or Fantastic Four characters in the MCU even with the later X-Men films releasing alongside the MCU. But as of 2019 Marvel now own the rights to X-Men and F4 so it's only a matter of time.

[@CristyReacts]

SO interesting. I love all this behind the scenes info. Thanks for the in depth comment! Do you think those other Spider Man movies are worth watching?

[@LittleGalaxyBoy]

@@CristyReacts I'm a 2000s baby who grew up with the Sam Rami Spider-Man films so I'm a little biased towards them. Those films were my childhood and I do highly recommend them with Spider-Man 2 (2004) being my personal favourite live action Spider-Man movie. Spider-Man 1 is pretty cheesy watching it back but it's very charming, kind of like the 60s comics but it's also pretty dark as well and Sam Rami's (Horror director, Evil Dead films) iconic cinematography makes its way into the film so some scenes feel like there from a horror film, More so Spider-Man 2. Only problem I have with those films is how the "Kids" in Spider-Man 1 suffer from the 2000s trend of having college age actors playing teenagers. The Marc Webb films starting with The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) are good, very slightly differant take on a Spider-Man origin but many parallels to the comics as well, some elements are even closer to the comics than the Rami films. I wasn't too big into the Amazing Spider-Man films but they've grown greatly on me. Andrew Garfield is an amazing Spider-Man, shines the most in the sequel but Toby I feel is a better Peter Parker. Tom Holland is the best of both worlds. And finally the Spider-Verse animated films that I adore and came out of nowhere shocking the industry with it's amazing art style, animation, and overall just an amazing film. The final film of the trilogy will release in 2024, so far this is my favourite Spider-Man trilogy and could easily be one of the best film trilogies of all time if the third film is amazing. I do recommend watching the Rami and Webb films before you get to Spider-Man: No Way Home in the MCU as it acts as a fun comparison to Tom Hollands journey as Spider-Man. *Rami Spider-Man:* Spider-Man (2002) Spider-Man 2 (2004) Spider-Man 3 (2006) *Webb Garfield Spider-Man:* The Amazing Spider-Man 1 (2012) The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) *Spider-Verse:* Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse (2024)

[@DrekeXorn13]

28:00 Actually I think you have this the other way around. The Accords sort of started this division, but the real division comes down to this. The whole world thinks Bucky was the one who blew up the UN, including Team Iron Man. But Steve knew it wouldn't be Bucky at all, and once he found Bucky he learned there were other Winter Soldiers and that Zemo supposedly wanted to wake them. So Team Iron Man thinks Steve is not only breaking the Accords but is wrongly protecting Bucky from the police. The other members of Team Cap (Hawkeye, Ant-Man, Falcon, Wanda) do not believe in the Accords and are simply helping Cap

You're right that Tony's character and Steve's character seem to be reversed here... but consider that Tony just recently created Ultron. He did so in the most positive of motivations, but it turned out bad. If he had listened to others, that could have been avoided. Tony is learning that HE needs the angel on his shoulder to help keep him focused on the good path. Meanwhile Steve just went through the Winter Soldier event making him question the people in authority. He realizes that even if the system is designed for the right reasons (like SHIELD was), if it is populated by the wrong people, it could be a bad outcome.

[@ritskumar8053]

How do people even pick teams is beyond any understanding. It just shows their absolute lack of knowledge. You can't pick a team here as both Tony and Steve have completely different perspectives. Captain is an out and out soldier, he knows when he's saving people, there will be causalities. It doesn't weigh him down as much and as he is a soldier, when the organization he works for ends up doing something wrong and he has to act on his free will, he finds it even more difficult. Hence, he cannot sign the accords. However, it's opposite for Tony. He is a civilian, a normal human being well except the billionaire part. So when he tries to save someone but ends up with deaths of others, he is left devastated. He cannot bear it, he cannot live with himself. So, he immediately does things to correct himself. That's why he wants to be held accountable. That's just about the accords where I feel them both are right in their own ways. But everything that follows after, I've no doubt in saying Iron Man was right there without a shred of a doubt. I've seen too many reactions now where people pick Captain's side just cuz they like the characters of Captain, Bucky and Falcon. They don't really have any reason to back their judgement. It's so vague. Captain's side is wrong cuz they're acting on their on will without bothering to tell Tony about what is up. How can he trust them? He is the one who chooses to fight Tony's team in case you didn't notice, Tony doesn't choose to fight him. And, how do people even expect to expect better from Tony in the last sequence is beyond me? The guy has just literally watched his parents get murdered brutally and the murderer is right in front of him, he is supposed to do nothing, are you telling me you would do nothing if you were in his place? And, the soldier, civilian thing applies to Bucky and Hulk as well. Both of them lose control of their minds. But, u see Bruce is so traumatized and terrorized cuz of it. It kills him. On the hand, Bucky chooses to fight Tony stark thinking it's not his fault as he was controlled. And, I don't agree with that. If you're killing people, whther or not you're in control or not, you have to be punished for it because the family members of those people deserve justice. And, in the ending scenes, it's clear that captain America is wrong, he himself says sorry to Tony. You know, people should understand this that whatever Tony has done since he's become Iron Man, he's done it for the the greater good of the people in the interest of the public in a broader spectrum. Whereas Captain does what he thinks is right in his opinion which is always wrong as you cannot trust your own judgement, it'll always be askwed because of human emotions. Like it was here If it was someone else in Buckys place, would he be doing what he's done in this movie? Hell No!

[@DayumSonny]

This movie showcases the classic 'Freedom vs Safety' debate. If you sacrifice freedom for safety, you have neither. Steve understands that. Tony doesn't.

Nice Reaction again!! IRON MAN will always be my favorite but I would not call it the best one. How do you pick they are so detailedly well done!! Can't wait for the next! " I'm with you till the end of the line" 😉 Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎

[@mikebrown7326]

Hi Cristy!😊 Captain America and The Avengers films are some of the best in the MCU! Yes, Winter Soldier was an exceptional film!!!! 🏆🏆🏆🏆 That was clever of Zemo. Just as we think they are getting back together he reveals that Bucky killed Starks parents. I am team Captain America. He is the most wholesome and logical IMO. You should watch Star Wars sometime, but there is a lot. There are three trilogies plus several stand-alone films. Great reactions to another excellent MCU film, Cristy!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

[@CristyReacts]

Thanks Mike! I agree that Captain America movies are the best!

[@retromaven2159]

Cristy, I think you set a new record for "WOWS" in this one! I think you hit the nail on the head when you describe your new found love for Marvel characters. Stan Lee purposely tried to make his heroes as close to real life as possible, with al their foibles, which makes us able to relate to them on a much deeper level. Buckle up because the intensity level is about to go off the scale but we all faith you can handle it. And count me as a YES for the Star Wars movies, especially the original trilogy.. And a Christmas movie for the holidays would be a nice treat, too! Can't wait for your next reaction!! 😀

IRL these movies (and perhaps moreso some of the DC ones) were taking criticism for celebrating the heroes while ignoring all of the human casualties of these giant battles. It's cool that Marvel answered that real-life criticism making it the basis for this in-universe conflict.

IF you watch Star Wars ... same thing as the MCU. Release order. The first three movies are chapters 4, 5 and 6 but the second trilogy --episodes 1-3 -- hinge a lot on the viewer having seen the 4-6 already. The Ant-Man on Hawkeye's arrow came directly from an Avengers cover. Avengers issue 223. Black Panther's main powers are strength, speed and tracking ability (heightened senses). Additional powers come from his tech and suit, you'll learn about that in his movie so I won't spoil here.

Basically, this is Tony and Steve reverting to their original selves. Tony trusted the system implicitly up until he was forced to see the flaws. He still retains a great deal of faith in it. Steve has never liked bullies, or pushing the innocent around.

[@FutureBoy85]

😂 Your Wakanda puns were funny 🙌🏼 It took me a second to get the first one, but once I did 😆 I also thought it was funny when you called Black Panther Catman 😂 The comment you made about you being surprised about Cap and Tony's stance on the Sokovia Accords was interesting. If this would've happened in phase one. You would've been a 100% correct. However, since then. Cap has been disillusioned with the government after finding out Hydra was in control of SHIELD and Tony feels guilty about all the collateral damage caused by the Avengers. Hence why they switched positions. When it comes to the Sokovia Accords. I'm team Cap, but when it comes to Bucky, I lean more towards Team Ironman. I think Tony would've handled it better if he had not me lied to about it. So him finding out that way really hurt him more. As always, I loved your reaction, and you should definitely watch Star Wars 🌟

I live watching these sorts of videos because it's truly amazing how so many people never saw these film during it's original run and more so in the most recent past.

[@quixote6942]

VISION AND WANDA: Another thing they have in common are that their powers came from Infinity Stones. The Vision can alter his Molecular Density from Being Ethereal (Lighter than air, which is why he can fly) to becoming as Strong as the Vibranium in which he was made. He can also become heavier than lead (Which is why Wanda could put him through the floors).

[@surfersilver6610]

Wanda didn't put him through anything, his own increased density caused him to exceed the floorspace psi capacity thus collapsing...over and over again.(plus each floor below now has the above floor + Vision weight on it.)

[@JoseChavez-ct1db]

Tony's little tantrum at the end just makes me angry. Like, tons of people lost loved ones in Sokovia. But somehow because he has the technology and the money, he gets to have his revenge while other people just have to sit there and deal with their loss.

[@user-ir7ls8kh6v]

Good reaction ❤

[@inarar5334]

You question how Spidey can hang with Cap because of his size, but I guess you missed when he effortlessly catches a punch from Buckya metal arm, and then casually twists it to admire it. Peter is incredibly strong. He's almost always pulling his punches. If that were the only factor, Steve would be screwed. But Cap is way more experienced and not as excitable. Think of Spidey like a glass cannon, or maybe a little more durable than that. He's very strong, very fast, but can be caught and hurt. He heals faster than most, but tends to take A LOT of punishment in big fights when he's hit.

[@jasontoddman7265]

Peter also has what he calls his Spider Sense (which forewarns him of imminent danger he can't detect yet with his normal senses) and extremely fast reaction time. These will become clearer when you see his own movies. I would also recommend seeing the previous versions of Spider-Man before you watch Spider Man No Way Home (the third and so far most recent MCU Spider-Man movie). I don't want to spoil the reason why, but you *will* get way more out of that movie by watching the Toby Macguire and Andrew Garfield versions (in that order) first.

Cap is more about freedom. Freedom to make your own choices. That's definitely America. Ironman is more about order. Remember, in Avengers Age of Ultron, Tony said he wanted buid a suit around the world. Meaning with technology & order.... "Even if it impacted our precious freedoms," Tony said.

That was a super fun reaction. I really enjoyed it. I am team cap all the way. On a side note, try a pair of softboxes on both sides of the camera. Your eyes pop with what you have, but I think a pair of softboxes will soften things and keep the eyes shining. It's just a suggestion.

So antman growing goes with his comic appearance. Hank pym was antman and his wife that they mentioned are the real original avengers with Thor, Ironman and hulk.

[@nvp8191]

Here are some non-spoiler facts about the villain Black panther and Spider-Man. In the comic book Zemo was a super soldier serum going wrong which also messed up his face but in the MCU he believes all superpower Beings are what's wrong with the world. Black panther has super strength reflexes and instincts. His suit is made completely out of vibranium the same thing cap shield of which Prince T'Chala designed. Spider-Man is one of the strongest characters in Marvel comics right under the Hulk and Thor. He can also stick to any surface not just with his hands or feet but his whole body. Also have thick skin which is similar to bulletproof Kevlar with a healing powers that gives him the ability to heal from nearly fatal wounds within a day or two. Spider-Man also has super reflexes that are tied to a abilities he calls spider sense which warned him from up-and-coming danger and provides a form of super speed. Not the type of super speed like a feature like Quicksilver but tied to his reflexes and spider sense he can dodge bullets from a machine gun from point blank range. Peter also highly intelligent he created his web shooters and the web fluid which half the tensile strength to hold a bus.

[@surfersilver6610]

Read the 1st line and stopped. Red Skull in the MCU is a SS gone wrong that messed up his face. In the comics he initially wore a Red Skull mask but later on made a Red Dust of Death that he accidentally was exposed to causing his real face to become a permanent Red Skull face. Zemo in the 616 comics was never a SS. He made a super glue that caused his mask to bond with his face after Cap knocked him into a vat or some other interaction due to Cap(been a long time and I never owned that issue). Later his relative(son?) Became the new Zemo a skilled fighter swordsman and cunning strategist. I've read that 2nd Zemo got a hold of the Cosmic Cube power or some other Mcguffin at one point and he was leader of The Thunderbolts.

[@thatpatrickguy3446]

Great reaction to one of the best Marvel movies! Dissertation begins now. :-p The Captain America trilogy consistently had the best storylines, but as one of the earliest of the Marvel superheroes (first published by Timely Comics, and then by Atlas Comics after it acquired Timely, then by Marvel) he had the biggest legacy to choose stories from. The changes in psychological perspectives of the characters makes them seem even more real and relatable. Steve, the good soldier of the first movie, has become wary and distrustful of the government he serves as he realizes it has become more Machiavellian and overwhelmed with bureaucratic self-interest. Bureaucracy's only concern is for its own expansion and power. It is much like the amoeba: unthinking of anything but consuming others to become larger, except bureaucracy never fragments to become smaller versions of itself. It is only a destructive parasite. That is what Steve has learned. And the UN is often the worst of example of an invasive parasite using its power for selfish manipulation and the destruction of its enemies of the moment It cannot be trusted to do anything positive because its own self-interest is its guiding principle. But I'm an old punk who has watched and learned the same as Steve has, and while I always have had a healthy distrust of the government and its overweening bureaucracy, the more I see and learn about bureaucracies the less and less I trust them. And the UN can go eff itself. Iron Man's defining characteristic in the earliest movies was his unshakable faith in himself. That faith has been shaken more and more from The Avengers on until after the Ultron debacle he doesn't trust himself at all. In many ways he has been relying on others to help check his worst impulses, most recently Banner whose mind he recognizes is as good as his own, but with his latest crutch leaving at the end of Ultron he feels more lost and unstable. And with the separation from Pepper he feels completely adrift. So he clutches at any straw, in this case the Accords, to try to stay afloat on his sea of self-recrimination, even though the overly independent early Iron Man would have found such things unthinkable. I love how, in the MCU, in many ways Wanda/Scarlet Witch is THE most powerful Avenger, but she is also very human. The catastrophic loss of life in the building when Rumlow's explosion escapes the protection of her magic devastates her, as she feels that she now is no better than those who without concern for the victims killed her parents and neighbors with Stark weaponry in their apartment building when she was a child. That feeling devastates her, as it might any real caring and feeling human, and that is very real and relatable for the audience. And, as I've said before, Elisabeth Olsen plays Wanda so very well in these movies, expressing so accurately the horror for Wanda of having done what those she hated did to her. Wanda isn't a cheat code or an easy button, and while that is more difficult to write, it is much better. Also, Wanda is, if I remember the revised comic timeline correctly, in her late teens in this movie. As far as the Accords go, I'm so Team Cap (which was probably obvious above). I'm the only one I trust to decide what I think is best to do with my abilities (as inferior to the superheroes' as they are). Besides, the thing about bureaucratic institutions is the amount of time they will typically spend in meetings and debates before deciding on a course of action, which is often "Well, it's too late to do anything about it now, so we'll do nothing except perhaps punish any survivors." I also love how Sharon/Agent 13 has a big role in the Cap movies. She could have been a one-and-done background characters, but the early MCU did a great job (as the comics did) of weaving background characters into recurring roles throughout the long narrative of multiple movies/issues. It added to the realism. And Sharon Carter is a great character and Emily VanCamp played her very well. "When you can do the things that I can, and you don't, then the bad things that happen, they happen because of you." Peter sums up the basic philosophy of Team Cap right there, but Tony doesn't get it. I love how RDJ's ad-lib reminder to Tom about how he was supposed to make room for Tony to sit next to him was kept in the movie. So great! 😀 I say it everywhere, but Hawkeye is my favorite of the original MCU Avengers. The initial exchange with Wanda here is part of why: Wanda: "What are you doing here?" Clint: "Disappointing my kids." 😀 And then he follows it up with a typical awesome line from the Avenger Dad: "If you want to make amends, get off your ass." "I can't believe they're all fighting each other!" Which is obviously where the movie title comes into play, yeah? 🙂 Speaking of the Avenger Parents, I think Hawkeye and Black Widow chose to be on different sides to try to mitigate some of the damage. And I love that they're not really fighting, and Wanda calls Clint out on it too. And, in the end, Avenger Mom does what is best for the fractured family. The final battle was both horrible and awesome. No winners, everyone loses. Like Civil Wars throughout history tend to result in. You're right in that it could have been Iron Man: Civil War, or even Avengers Civil War, but the Civil War comic was a Captain America storyline, so... There were no real villains in this movie. There were just people acting hateful/villainous because they had lives ruined and they blamed the Avengers for it, even if that wasn't really fair. From Miriam Spencer, the 'villain' at the beginning who unfairly but understandably lashed out at Tony for her son's death to Zemo the 'villain' throughout who lost everyone he loved, these were damaged people who wanted others to hurt as they did. And it continues the villainous motivations standard from Age of Ultron, where the only reason Wanda and Pietro were villains was because they wanted to lash out at Tony. It is psychologically very well done and I love that deep and nuanced reasoning of the characters in the first three phases of the MCU.

In the comics the Civil War covered all the heroes title and villains that Marvel had. So, heroes and villains were fighting along side each other during the Civil War. As to "Should [you] watch Star Wars?" There is so much Yes in that answer that, if you haven't seen it, Star Wars should jump to the top of your list. And before you get too confused with peoples opinions just watch it in release order. There are story spoilers if watch chronologically. Chronological viewing is good for a second viewing.
