The Winter Soldier is all about Captain America sticking to his principles over blind obedience to authority, setting up that position in Civil War. Every movie Iron Man is in moves him one step from renegade playboy with a wearable jet plane to realizing he isn't infallible and needs oversight.

[@jonnemesis11]

+TheCaptainJon Perfect way to sum it up

[@TheCaptainJon]

***** Mordalon makes great points and I would only add that you seem to remember only the first half of those movies, namely Iron Man 2. You seem to focus on that opening scene where Tony tells the military to piss off, but ignore or forget that he did in fact end up giving Rhodey a suit and realized he isn't the only one that could make arc reactor weapons as demonstrated by Whiplash. During the diner scene Nick Fury reminds Tony and the audience that you can't just hop into a suit and make it work, they have to be coded to you. This is brought up again in IM3, therefore Tony willingly and knowingly programmed his weaponless Mk II for Rhodey to take.

[@TheCaptainJon]

Yes, and in the comic CW ark started with comparing Super Heroes Registration bill with Nazis Germany moovments to register jewish people. And Captain America decide that this bill is against freedom.

[@DarkTitan9174]

Johan Liberal It was always a load of bullshit, BvS is one of the dumbest superhero movies I've ever seen

[@g0rsk13g4n9st4]

@Johan Liberal BvS aimed high(er than your average superhero movie), I'll give it that. However, it ended up failing on nearly every level. Between that and Suicide Squad, they may as well rename themselves the "DC-takes-itself-way-too-f**king-seriously-EU". So, as far as i'm concerned, their entire camp can STFU about Marvel's "villain problem" until they themselves actually make something halfway decent. Their piggybacking off the "greatness" of Nolan's TDK trilogy is starting to get old.

[@dirigibility]

Pretty sure whoever said it was too smart for audiences had only read a three sentence plot synopsis. "Huh, a superhero being tried in court over the damage he caused in the last movie? That sounds relatively sophisticated!" And then it was just another bad action movie.

[@comfyDev]

I'm sure they thought BvS had deep and meaningful things to say about the nature of man, fear, and power... in between the sequences where a grown man dresses up as a bat, and swings a space god through concrete pillars by the foot.

[@JackChristmas]

I think the whole "Why isn't Captain America pro-regulation and Iron Man anti?" question about Civil War ignores the significant character development these two characters have undergone throughout the series. In Iron Man 1 and 2, Tony was all about refuting authority and being a celebrity-hero on his own terms, but gradually he obsessed more and more with developing technology to make the world as safe as possible, regardless of the risks and sacrifices he would need to make in order to do so. On the other hand, Captain America started out as just an obedient soldier, but over the course of his movies he learned that there was more to loving his country, and more to being a force for good in the world, than just obeying orders. He disobeyed orders in The First Avenger to save his friends, and The Winter Soldier was pretty much 100% Steve disobeying authority figures because their actions were evil. Where these characters ideologically clash became clear in Age of Ultron, when they basically had a mini Civil War over whether or not to create Vision: Steve wasn't willing to risk creating another Ultron despite how much was already at stake; Tony was willing to take the risk if the reward was being able to defeat the Ultron he'd already created. With this in mind, it's pretty clear why Iron Man would champion safety over unrestricted freedom, and Captain America would champion liberty over security.

[@Jobother]

Jack Christmas it comes down to this; cap believes that people can be trusted because he trusts himself to do the right thing. Iron man believes that people should be regulated because he can't trust himself to make the right decision

[@Favar1]

Interestingly, I think the argument of "Just give fans what they want!" is wrong. The average fan doesnt know what he wants. Or rather he wants, often, to make his franchise darker, more serious, to show his character more powerfull (as he is in the comics ie. deadpool teleporting arround or superman straight up pulverizing aliens). Sometimes it fits, ususally it doesnt. There was one period in the comic book industry history when the creators shifted more to indulging in the fans needs. It was the nineties and it was terrible.

[@steaksauce232]

+Favar1 I remember watching a Zero Punctuation where Yahtzee said that the worst thing you can do is give the fans what the want because they'll usually say that they want more of the same of what they're getting. You have to give them something they want that they didn't know that they wanted.

[@Favar1]

Well ok then, i Misspoke i guess. Not a hardcore comic book fan here, but I have read knightfall and yea, its bad. Maybe its just my perception of the times. I certainly wasnt lying.

[@leodouskyron5671]

+Favar1 I disagree. Not only are all fans different but also when you just make them darker and more powerful because the studios thinks the fans want it you and you get. "Fant4stic". Those fans of the comic wanted a good FF movie and they got one... The Incredibles. The fans wanted a fun family of superheros. The fans want the details as correct as possible and the core of the series reflected. You do that you win and make money.

[@ybother4921]

Not really. Listen to what the fans say and use that as a starting point. Then take your expertise and experience decide which fan suggestion you want to go with and turn that suggestion into something good even if you have tweak it a bit, feel free to mix in your own ideas as you go. Completely disregarding the fans will earn you nothing but scorn.

[@noisekeeper]

+Favar1 "The average fan doesnt know what he wants." Incorrect line of thinking. It is more appropriate to say that fans know exactly what they want, it is just that they cannot agree as a group on what they want collectively.

[@gurugeorge]

Actually Cap's and IM's expected roles being reversed from what you'd expect in the Civil War movie is one of the more interesting things about it. Stark has been on a long arc since the first movie, of becoming more chastened and more responsible, meanwhile Cap's arc has been (via Winter Soldier) mainly on a course of "do these organizations actually represent what I stand for?" What turns a natural rebel into an upholder of the law, and what turns a soldier into a rebel? Add into the mix the fact that they were starting to become good friends despite their very different personalities, and the clash should add a bit of depth to the movie.

That’s why I thought Civil War was so great. Yes, Cap as a solider would normally follow the rules and be ok with a higher authority overseeing the Avengers and Tony would be against it. BUT, the events of Age of Ultron showed Tony that he did need oversight and he almost destroyed the world through his own recklessness. And Cap realized from the events of Winter Soldier of Hydra infiltrating SHIELD and the government compromised at the highest levels that he couldn’t just blindly follow orders but so what is right no matter what. Character Arcs and continuity! I love it.

[@movienachos121]

One of my third grade students said his dad took him to see Deadpool. I was kind of surprised but then again most of my third graders' parents seemingly let them play GTA on a regular basis as well. In any case, he told he that he had apparently fallen asleep during Deadpool and couldn't remember much about it.

[@drews2444]

Thrilling

[@35Spidey]

In the Civil War comic story, Iron Man is pro-registration and Captain America is anti-registration. This was presented as Tony Stark realizing that the public and government were on the verge of wanting all super heroes outlawed, so he saw the need to agree to join forces with SHIELD rather than be hunted down and arrested. Cap doesn’t agree with being forced to do this and fighting other heroes. The Civil War film is using the same story framework, but in the Marvel films Tony Stark is even further motivated to have superheroes be government controlled, as he creates Ultron who then goes rogue and tries to kill billions of people. This event is what causes the government in the Civil War film to draw the line against super heroes functioning on their own in the world. Captain America in the film feels basically the same as in the comics, that freedom is the most important thing to protect and that no government should have that much control over people, despite the fact that he is a soldier who normally follows orders (this was alluded to already in the Winter Soldier film). I think that, although it seems backwards on the surface, that these viewpoints give these two characters an interesting arc: Tony Stark goes from an arrogant vigilante who mocks the government to a more humble philanthropist who sees the need for public safety in a world of super powers, and Steve Rogers goes from military hero who follows orders fighting for America to a somewhat disillusioned man out of time who finds himself fighting for freedom against his own government and his fellow heroes.

Captain America and Iron Man are inverted because that has been their story arc! Cap grows away from the chain of command after being betrayed and feeling compelled to help his friend. Tony Stark is emotionally defeated and just wants someone else to call the shots so he can just be a cog in the machine. It's exactly how is should be.

"Get ready! Hard r superhero movies are coming!" - Mike Stoklasa

[@daniel-ve7yp]

Spawn and Dredd 2 are the only comic book movies I can think of that should be rated R. People who want R Batman are stupid, and so are the studios who are gonna start that trend. What those people don't understand is Deadpool wasn't successful just because it was a hard R, it was successful because it was faithful to the source material. A little toned down, but it was appropriate for who Deadpool is. It's not appropriate for 99% of all other superhero movies. DC should either embrace that Superman is a boyscout, or not even bother making his movies. From man of steel and BvS I can see they are ashamed of that character, not even saying his name once in MoS. The same goes for the rest of the upcoming DC characters that are still riding the Nolan trend. And based on Deadpool's success I'm afraid they're not gonna fix that any time soon. Hopefully movies like the dark gritty Aquaman and Wonder Woman will bomb, and stop the trend.

My friends and I frequently use Plinkett quotes especially after throwing back a few. Keep up the good work and I’ll buy Space Cop.

FUCKING EXPLODING VARMINTS I will not stop until Exploding Varmints is a fucking meme.

[@ghostofandy]

Haha! bc F4 was a box office BOMB!

[@RapidlyTap]

Watching Mike talk about BvS in this episode is fucking surreal

[@Brikkwall]

Deadpool facts: 1. Hollywood is going to burn this franchize to the ground. 2. This was not Marvel reinventing itself, it was a push from a select few key person. Probably Renolds being the best salesman.

[@t.l3846]

This aged well

[@Crimelord2k10]

Oh no, now aliens are coming! Looks like Jay is gonna be the front of the daisy chain and be probed on the same day.

[@JAFOpty]

at least lets bring Paul Verhoeven back to do some of these

[@Mechonomist]

The Ann Arbor district library was a highlight of my childhood! Saw my first R rated movie there haha

[@SamuraiChris78]

Favorite line from Dead Pool "shit speckled muppet fart"! I lost it! lmao

[@jordanDswift]

I preferred "Finish fucking her the fuck up!"

[@joe14636]

So random! XD

[@SamuraiChris78]

The Uncanny One That's the humor that a neck bearded hipster would scoff at!

[@SamuraiChris78]

***** You mean last year? Have you not read Dead Pool comics?

[@qwertyytrewq71]

what are you 5?

[@white-dragon4424]

2021 calling! I think you should change your expectations for anything to be released 2020 onwards!

[@rooty_rootz]

Intro was great.

[@Oxossis]

This BETTER not be the last episode. Watching this show is the only thing I do in my life.

[@OpenMind3000]

Didn´t like the movie too much. It is a 6/10 Movie for me. Everyone is saying: "Wooow, Deadpool is so revolutionary, because it is a funny, brutal superhero movie!" Kick Ass and Kingsman did the same thing and in my opinion those movies were way better. :)

[@courtneyvaldez7903]

Super did it better than those other two.

[@adorcserod704]

+OPEN MIND All of those movies are really liked as well.

[@pavelmichalek7302]

+OPEN MIND Haven't seen Kingsman actually, but I 100% agree with you about Kick Ass being better and funnier movie than Deadpool.

[@pratti]

Yep. Kick-Ass is way better than Deadpool. It was funny when it wanted to be, it was mature when it wanted to be, and it was goofy when it wanted to be. It was also C-A-R-R-I-E-D by Chloe Moretz and Nicolas Cage. Too bad Chloe Moretz lost whatever talent she had when she turned 12. What a horrible actress.

[@SteakBentley]

+Courtney Valdez Super is a great film but calling it a superhero movie is kind of a stretch

[@MrJacobHart]

I miss when the show was like this.

[@4rmond]

Just because the movie is rated R and has 4th wall breaks doesn't make it a "revolutionary risk-taking" film you hacks are making it up to be. I myself have had this comic book movie fatigue for a while, but I feel the reason why some comic book films like The Dark Knight and The Winter Solder were so great was because they felt nothing like comic book movies. The Dark Knight was like a thrilling detective story that applied a lot of social commentary on modern day issues like terrorism, the justice system, etc and The Winter Solder reminded me of such exciting spy movies like Mission Impossible. These movies didn't rely on lore alone of the source material to deliver a worthwhile standalone movie, which was why they were seen as such game changers for comic book movies.

[@VagusDoc]

Not even 3 minutes in and already.............. best episode ever.

[@lewatoaofair]

Mike is talking about how he wants a different movie, such as "one where the heroes fight each other." They were literally just talking about both Civil War and Batman v Superman.

[@cozy4732]

I think he meant one where they fight each other for more down to earth reasons, without super heavy, dark themes or impossibly high stakes.

[@TOKAGERO1]

+Cozy like they hate each other? like somebody stole the other guy's girlfriend? yeah that would be better.

[@cozy4732]

TOKAGERO1 I like the Planet Hulk example. Hulk's pissed at Tony cause Tony stranded Hulk on an alien planet. Boom. That's it. The planet's not gonna crash into earth, it doesn't contain a rare gem that fires energy beams, it's just a planet, and Hulk's stuck on it. So, he has to get back. That's it!

[@TOKAGERO1]

Cozy The planet hulk story is not some small down to eart story at all

[@cozy4732]

TOKAGERO1 The story itself is not down to earth, figuratively AND literally, but the character motivations are.

[@Tracer_Sweat]

I'm not gonna lie, I died when he was cutting his hand off and made the "Dear God, It's me Margaret." reference xD
