      On the whole I enjoyed Civil War. It was a hell of a lot better than the awful Batman V Superman. I left the theatre thinking I needed to see it again as I think I may have missed some plot intricacies.

    I agree with all you said, except that I haven't seen BvS so I can't comment on that from experience. It sounds to have been a major misfire; what a wasted opportunity!


Honestly, I regret going to see it, the only highlight was Wonder Woman. Other than creepy evil ones from Lex Luthor I don't think there's a single smile in the whole film, it's downright depressing. I would have walked out of the theatre had I not been there with someone else.

    There's more about rhe Sokovia Accords in the Agents of SHIELD TV series that makes them sound more like the comic book Registration Act. All "enhanced" people are required to register, with their names, fingerprints, and DNA samples, and to be classified as to their risk level. That puts me more firmly on Cap's side of the argument, given the Marvel Universe's tendency to have their databases handed over to Hydra etc.


The trick with that is, the movies completely ignore Agents of SHIELD. While AoS plays by the rules of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it's not truly a part of it. So when evaluating the films I ignore the developments on AoS, which have no weight at all in the movie division unfortunately. While I used to think Marvel had it right having the tv shows and films in the tv universe, I actually think DC may have the better approach as Supergirl, for example, obviously has nothing to do with Man of Steel.

      - While I have a hard time believing Cap could beat Iron Man one-on-one, the emotional pain Chris Evans and Robert Downey brought to that final battle was fantastic.





Cool, I'll have to check it out!
