Captain America: Civil War is a 2016 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Captain America, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is the sequel to Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) and Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), and the 13th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film was directed by Anthony and Joe Russo from a screenplay by the writing team of Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, and stars Chris Evans as Steve Rogers / Captain America alongside an ensemble cast including Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Renner, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Emily VanCamp, Tom Holland, Frank Grillo, William Hurt, and Daniel Brühl. In Captain America: Civil War, disagreement over international oversight of the Avengers fractures the team into two opposing factions-one led by Steve Rogers and the other by Tony Stark (Downey).

That scene when Tony sees his parents get get killed is so well acted, Robert showing the anger building, Sebastian showing the guilt and shame of his actions and Chris showing the conflict of being stuck in the middle between the two, great film!

That HE, Tony, needs adult supervision, not the Avengers as a team. Tony is an Asshat, pure and simple.

In the Civil War comic the line, "Plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and, say, No. You move.", was actually spoken by Cap.

[@Doragonrenja]

I always loved the nuance in “I didn’t *_know_* it was him” and the later “I can see now, I was really sparing myself”. Really gives a great insight into the denial Steve was in and how his connection to Bucky clouded his judgment, preventing him from facing the obvious truth until Tony forced him to be honest with himself and what he always suspected. Sadly, that humanization gets lost on most people.

[@insertnamehere2746]

Well, the truth wasnt OBVIOUS per sae. Anybody in hydra could have killed the Starks. Just because it was PROBABLY Bucky doesnt mean that Steve had the proof that it was him. The only thing that was obvious was Hydra's connection to the Starks death which was hinted at in Winter Soldier. This is what Cap knew. So when Cap said "I didn't *it was him*" he isn't lying, but he did know of course that the Starks' deaths were no accident which is why he replies "Yes"

I'm not even sure you could strictly call him a "villain". "Anti-hero", maybe. He's using extreme but arguably necessary measures (and, moreover, measures made necessary by the Avengers' own refusal to submit to accountability from the people they effectively rule) to destroy the threat that killed his family so it can't harm others. Wouldn't take much to make him at least the protagonist of the piece.

Introduces spider man, black panther and zemo, Wanda and vision become closer, we find out how Tony’s parents died and who killed them, and also find out the avengers aren’t innocent when it comes to civilian casualties. It’s insane they managed to pack all of this into one movie and actually make it work.

[@ot7biasedmashups]

Especially since the avengers don't make a collective decision. The fact that everyone has a different opinion on it and it spreads to all the other movies is just amazing.

[@bashengatheblackmanta7003]

For me, the heart of the conflict was what always interested me about this movie. Should the Avengers be held accountable? I think they should hold themselves accountable and that trusting a government with constantly changing agendas and the potential lives missed because of government dependence is too much a risk.

This movie was so fucking intense. Bucky is my favorite. Some people will lose their family and friends but to lose your free will is devastating. To be controlled to do the worst thing possible which is end someone's life. Bucky was tormented mentally and physically for almost a century. The guilt he feels is heavy. And knowing he could be controlled again makes him want to freeze himself. I just try to remember Bucky before he was captured. The guy who stuck by Little Steve when everyone else looked over him. Which inspired Steve to be the idealistic Captain he is now.

My favourite part of dialogue is at Peggy's funeral, when Sharon gives her speech because they pulled some of it from the comics. In Amazing Spider-man #537, Spider-man asks Cap how he deals with the feeling when it seems like the country is against you & Cap's response is, "Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world - No, YOU move.”

[@thehobbyist7275]

The "You move" speech gives me goosebumps because it covers so much of Cap's character. As big and iconic as he is and as a symbol of America he is, he's our country's ideals and not its government. Giving people a voice and having us stand up for what we believe in. The way Cap brings out the best in people is what makes him so great. Once a scrawny man whose greatest strength is his character. A hero from the past whose ideals transcend its time

"How are they doing these things without getting hurt?" - Well in this fictional universe, there's Vibranium... basically a metal that's impervious to just about anything.

[@wilder11]

11:32 This is where Tony goes wrong for me, personally. I understand the world's crying out for some order, but in the end - Tony is doing this for selfish reasons. He can't stomach the blowback of his own decisions - decisions he makes to try and help people that were dangerous. Spencer died because of Ultron. Ultron was Tony's creation. Tony created Ultron to help protect the world against threats like Loki. Tony has shown that he will compromise when he shouldn't, bend or break rules when he shouldn't - and cave when he shouldn't, when it comes to saving lives. Cap just won't do that. Cap would never have created Ultron in the first place - and he sure as shit won't hand over control of the Avengers to the UN. Not after what he saw with the downfall of SHIELD. The opposing side isn't insane, but I think it's ultimately wrong. Or, at the very least, Tony is agreeing with the Accords for the wrong reasons. If I was at that table, I'd hope I had the stomach to suggest that maybe Tony is problem. I suspect if Ultron hadn't been created, the Accords would have never come to pass. Or at least, they'd have been delayed, or softened. All that being said, I think that's the beauty of this film and why it's one of the best in the MCU - and one of the best superhero films ever made: it forces a critical issue, and demands that you really think about it. There's a lot to talk about in Civil War, and the Accords are just the beginning of it.

@@noodle_fc As I've noted elsewhere (in this thread, I think) Thunderbolt Ross is the embodiment of the US military as a supervillain. And Iron Man is the embodiment of US military tech as a superhero. Seems a bit odd that Stark, who told the US government to get stuffed in IM2 when they wanted to nationalize his Iron Man tech, would be willing to turn over all of his Iron Man stuff to the frickin' UN. And the whole "Well, if we sign we'll have leverage to change the rules to something more manageable4" is simply delusional. If you sign, you throw away your only leverage. Then they take your toys and give them to someone more compliant if you get uppity.

[@noodle_fc]

@@flatebo1 See, I don't think that's odd. From the very first MCU movie, Tony's development has been from someone who doesn't give a shit to someone who tries to do the right thing. But part of doing the right thing is dealing with mistakes. At the beginning of Iron Man 2, Tony hasn't made any serious mistakes (acting as Iron Man) yet. This movie is constructed incredibly well. First thing that happens: Cap, Sam, Wanda (and Nat) use their powers to avert a terrible outcome, but something goes wrong and innocents die. Later, Cap tells Wanda yeah, that sucks, but you live with it, you save who you can, when you can. Next thing: Tony has guilt and regret about his last interaction with his parents. Charlie's mom blames him for Ultron and Sokovia, and he carries guilt for that, too. He wants a way out from under that guilt, something that feels better than the advice Wanda got, i.e., make the best decision you can, then make peace with both the good and bad consequences. As Steve says of the accords, "this document just shifts the blame" (from them to whomever tells them what to do). That is _exactly_ why it appeals to Tony. He doesn't want to feel guilt over whatever might go wrong the next time the Avengers act.

[@KS-xk2so]

Tbh I put blame on him and Wanda. He was ultimately gonna shelve the Ultron initiative, but Wanda brought his PTSD back to full effect pushing him into "making" Ultron. Thing is Ultron wasn't made ultimately by Tony. Ultron made himself, looked at the Internet and decided we all got to go. Tony gets some of the blame but ultimately it ain't all his fault

[@FatLittleButterfly]

Both Cap and Tony is right. Without the accords, they will essentially be international fugitives, unable to help anyone officially. Imagine a bunch of people with powers doing whatever they want in a city. Its all fine and dainty if everyone has a moral compass like Cap but what about those that don't? Tony is right about needing oversight, but their oversight people could be corrupted too. *Flashback to Hydra being in every level of Shield. There's is no good solution here which makes this film great

[@OsSas3]

That's why Cap it's the leader, to oversight the Avengers and the new people that might come. Whatever they want? They're there for a reason. The Accords don't stop the murder and chaos, just validate the actions making the saving process WAY slower, do you remember how in the movie Tony said "Sign this and we would validate the 24 hrs prior"? We already watch how much good they did and it's like pretending police don't fuck up sometimes. Even while the directors tried to balance the ideals, Cap is clearly on the right.

That quote from Peggy was actually in the comics, but it was Captain America talking to Spider-Man, and it was a bit longer. I like the quote, but it can be used by people who are definitively in the wrong to justify not changing their stance.

One thing I've always wondered is how did zemo know that Steve didn't tell him about winter soldier. Cuz his whole plan hinges on Steve not telling Tony the truth. If you'd show the video and Tony already knew wouldn't have done nothing but made him upset but wouldn't have turned him against Bucky and Steve.

Steve didn't know that a brainwashed Bucky had killed the Starks. All he knows is that at some point Hydra was involved in their deaths. They could've just cut a brake line, or done one of a billion different things.

Bucky is one of my favorite characters in the MCU and Sebastian Stan plays him beautifully. It’s funny that over the course of 10 years and all his appearances in the Infinity Saga movies, Bucky only has 4-5 mins of dialogue, the rest is just Sebastian’s talent for facial expressions and body language to convey all that emotion. Superb performance!

Cap saved his two friends. He saved one from being murdered, and he saved the other from becoming a murderer. General Ross is the biggest idiot in all of the MCU. Literally everything he does is wrong. Especially the Sokovia Accords. He should be court-martialed, dishonorably discharged, and put in prison for the rest of his life. I apologize to idiots for comparing him to them. Marvel's perennial motto: "With great power must also come great responsibility."

BS, Steve, you were sparing Bucky from getting murdered in revenge, as well as Tony from becoming his murderer (or getting killed in the process). Tony fought Steve because he wouldn't sign the Accords that Tony later violated in more than one way, and then when he was attempting to murder Bucky. Steve saved them both, but Tony will continue hating him regardless. Tony has always hated Steve anyway because Howard Stark admired Steve. That's pure jealousy. At least Tony didn't interfere with Steve freeing the better half of the Avengers from that awful prison. But he still hates him and always will. They were never friends, just awkward allies in the best of times.

[@acopp6891]

The first team-fight scene and the ending are the best scenes of the entire movie. You can clearly see Russo brothers' direction at its finest. The problem with this movie is the amount of stuff that they attemped to carry out. You have zemo's plot, the internal conflict plot, Bucky Barnes' plot, T'Challa's' plot, etc. When they put all these together, the movie stumbles a lot. Things happen very fast and the movie doesn't take its time to explain things well. (for example: the way Stark recruits Peter Parker is really mediocre and poorly written). From time to time, you don't know if are watching "Avengers: Civil war", "The winter Soldier: part 2", "Captain America 3: Zemo strikes back"... It's a good movie and I really enjoyed it, but it has problems.

That woman's child wouldn't have died if Tony had talked through his idea with Steve and the others before doing it but he doesn't and Ultra almost destroyed the world. And throughout this entire movie he's acting like Steve is in the wrong for wanting to keep his freedom when it's Tony's fault that freedom is threatened.

[@flatebo1]

@@quietdemon8138 Had they not stopped Ultron, all of humanity would have been exterminated. So, no, their insults/revenge was wholly unjustified because it is wholly misplaced. Ultron is responsible for the destruction in Sokovia. Ultron chose Sokovia as the location for his planet-killer meteor. None of the Avengers did. On the other hand, Stark is responsible for Ultron. But only Stark. Absent his reckless meddling with the Mind Stone, Ultron would not have existed. But that no more makes Stark responsible for Ultron's actions/choices than a parent is responsible for the actions/choices of their adult offspring. Every single example of the destruction "caused" by the Avengers is an example of the Avengers trying to limit the destruction others, notably the various villains, are trying to cause. When trying to stop another from committing an atrocity, you do not become responsible for the damage they succeed in causing. And it's especially galling that Ross brings up the invasion of NYC when the World Security Council (i.e. HYDRA) tried to end the invasion by *nuking* *New* *York*.

@@devinsteele2424 It's the majority of world governments that want to impose their will upon a group of people through the UN. Y'know, the UN doesn't have its own military. They rely on member countries sending military forces to work under the UN banner. The Accords would give the UN a small army of superpowered people under the UN's sole authority. An UN army which, through the Hulk alone, would outclass pretty much every military in the world. (It's especially hilarious given that, in IM2, Stark basically told the US government to get fucked when *they* tried to nationalize his Iron Man tech. And he's just going to turn over complete control to the UN?) Considering the kind of extremely criminal conduct that the UN has historically engaged in, and further considering that the UN leadership is quite often rather hostile to the US, giving the UN complete authority over all superpeople everywhere on Earth - including Thor, the prince and heir apparent of an alien race of gods - is about the single stupidest thing anyone could possibly propose. We're supposed to trust an organization whose president in the 1970s was literally a former Nazi (and likely HYDRA in the MCU)? No. If the Avengers violated any law, charge them under existing legislation. Even the incident which kicks off the action in Civil War did not result in anyone anywhere bringing charges against Wanda - despite the biased narrative that *she*, not Rumlow, was the one responsible for the Wakandan Embassy deaths. I'd also point out that, under the Accords, Wakanda would become the property of the UN. The entire nations is stuffed full of super-tech and a super-metal - vibranium. If the Accords places Falcon (a US ex-soldier using US military tech) under the authority of the UN, then it also places all of Wakanda under the control of the UN. Wakanda would have signed away its sovereignty, and placed T"challa specifically completely under the UN's authority.

This movie made me think about my country and is running it. It may be the same with all parts of the world, but I feel it comes down to this. When there is a great power that is helping you, if you can't control it then it is against you. It is all about "Control". I understand the pain of the parent at the beginning who told Stark that her son died because of him. Yes as human we will blame those outside ourselves for our pain. All in all, when it comes to planetary, global, or universal protection, if we experience a loss, we will blame those who survive upon defending us. We will blame them for not defending those who meant so much to us. In this film, I have always felt such heavy heart and dislike. When it comes to the global attacks that have been experienced in the Marvel films, even tho there are those that risk their lives to stop the threat, those that have experienced a personal loss will always blame those who "saved the earth". Humanity seems to just naturally be selfish in nature. Even if it means the survival of the whole planet, if it costs you a life or two in order to save the whole planet and all the lives that live on it, you will still be greedy and selfish and try to bring down those that saved the whole planet just because the cost was a loved one. I guess that it is what it is. There is always the saying of, "I'm just human" which seems to be said as a defense when one fails. As to say that as a human i am not perfect so I am sorry that I failed. so to say that you are human please accept the fact that you are human and that as a human we are capable of failure so when failure happens don't blame the world for what went wrong.
