Unlock the Ultimate MCU Power Ranking: Which Marvel Movie Truly Packs a Knockout Punch?
Captain America: Civil War does just about all you could ask a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie to do at this juncture. It follows up on running threads, gives us numerous incredible action sequences, has a uniquely formidable villain with motivation that makes sense, and has character moment after character moment that just feel so right. Captain America: Civil War, really, is an Avengers movie under a different name—but it’s better than almost every other Avengers movie.
With factions led by our two favorite heroes, Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, we see into two distinctly different ways of thinking—and thankfully, Steve is the guy who’s right in the end. But as the Avengers break themselves up, and the villainous Zemo manipulates them against each other little by little, framing Bucky Barnes in the process, we get to not only see how these characters interact with one another (like Ant-Man meeting Captain America and Wanda, which is amazing), but seamlessly introduce Black Panther and Spider-Man, two of the universe’s most important figures, to the story. I could talk about this movie for a couple hours. It’s great.
MCU understanding needed? Yeah, a lot. The whole Civil War is caused by the competing beliefs that the Avengers do or don’t need government intervention based on damage caused by previous adventures. You don’t need to know what happened, but it helps.
