Movies that typically bear very little resemblance to the source material. He has a lot of "good premise, bad execution" in his career, so his work is ripe for loose adaptation.

And on top of all that, Tony tells him "What we discussed! Keep your distance and web 'em up!" Spider-man was not supposed to be trading blows with any of them at all.

I guess Thunderbolt's little story of having a heart attack on the golf course that gave him "perspective" is supposed to be our explanation of his character differences from then to now.

"I don't care." - Black Panther

The specifics of the final fight are far from my favorite aspect of Civil War, but it's more defensible to me to have one hero red and go nuts for a few minutes (at the end of an extremely stressful few days) than to have Batman spend months or years (I forget the timeline) premeditating the murder of Superman.

Not since the first Avengers. Thor 2 teased Guardians (skipping Winter Soldier). Winter Soldier teased Age of Ultron (skipping Guardians). The Avengers movies both have Thanos teases, which is set up for
Infinity War more than anything (skipping a ton of movies). And now Civil War teases Black Panther (skipping four…

It did feel like the movie was conspicuously going out of its way to say the sentiment without actually saying the words (Amazing Spider-man was the same way about avoiding the phrase). I don't understand why.

The more I think about that reversal, the more I like it. The movie fakes us (and the heroes) out that we're going to have a traditional third-act "and now they team up to fight the real bad guy" turn a la BvS and a million comic book crossovers. Then it turns out, there is no larger plot to end the world. There is no…

Yeah, I'm hopeful that because his family was "off the books," only Fury, Tony and Maria should know where Clint is, and they won't be motivated to let the UN in on that information. He'd essentially be under self-imposed house arrest, but at least he wouldn't be separated from his wife and kids.

To be fair to Scott, the last time Captain America went on the run from the authorities, everything basically worked out for him. I could see him (given that he's a bit of a dummy) thinking simplistically "Well surely Cap's right and if I help him we'll be able to sort everything out soon enough."

Ultron, who wouldn't exist if not for two of the Avengers literally creating him. They did the best anyone could do in Sokovia, but it's hard to argue with people blaming them when their own out-of-control Iron Legion caused the danger.

I doubt he'd show up in GotGV2's stinger. When those things tease a future movie instead of just adding a gag to the movie they're in, there's always some connective tissue (Ross, Coulson, Selvig, Thanos, Sif & Volstagg, Hydra, Black Panther and Spider-man themselves here). I don't see the Guardians and Black Panther…

They really do need to fight a genuine supervillain team. Even something simple like The Wrecking Crew would be appreciated. The airport fight in Civil War feels so great in part because they're all having actual blow-counterblow fights with actual characters rather than smashing a faceless drone in one hit before…

"I call it hot ham water."

Seems like they kind of backed into it unintentionally. Slattery was cast first for Iron Man 2, and can't play however young '40s era Howard is (at least not for how long they needed him to). Hence, two Howards. Wouldn't be an issue, but then later movies keep flashing back to Slattery era Howard. So either you get…

Not the 2003 movie, no. MCU starts with Iron Man (2008).

Would it help if I said that he's an extremely good actor and probably the best choice available, but that the idea of making this movie at all is still terrible?

…Did they though?

I've seen this sentiment before. I'm curious: why do people think The Incredible Hulk isn't MCU canon any more? Tony watches footage from it in Iron Man 2 and The Avengers. Mark Ruffalo's Banner mentions breaking Harlem. General Ross is back in Civil War. And the arc of the movie sets up the idea that Hulk can be…

A wonderful amount of… time!
