Captain America 3 - Civil War TEAM SPOILERS

[Compound]

I personally hated the civil war storyline...

Wait, is Cap gonna die?!?!?!?!

He didn't die in the CW storyline, but he died in the storyline after that. Steve got better. Right now, he's 90, which I presume will be reversed right before the movie.

Here's what I think MIGHT happen...psyche. I'm not telling you because I don't want to potentially spoil shit! All I'm going to say is that after whatever happens in Civil war, it'll be what the Avengers team needs to bring them together, closer for the events of the Infinity war. It'll change them, for the better, make them stronger, and allow them to come together as the family they should be.

Well, the 3rd part of a trilogy is the rebuilding phase. I expect to see some rebuilding and the heroes coming into their own this film. I think I'll enjoy it, even if it ends up poorly, but it's pretty damn hard to fuck up Cap... besides, I can always just stare at Chris Evans.

Seems like Civil War is just a title, they're clearly not following the registration storyline that closely and it's mostly about Cap and Bucky

This one's for the fanfix writers, that's for sure. Maybe they'll throw in a lot of homoerotic subtext between Cap and Bucky. "STEVE DID YOU BRING YOUR SHIELD?" "Don't worry, Bucky; I always have... protection." *eyebrow wiggle*

If the movie were made by lesser men, it might have a horrible tagline, something along the lines of "Whoever wins... we lose".

The Russon Brothers and Marvel Studios have earned my trust

Every time I hear a criticism about Age of Ultron or something... I just think back to when I was younger reading Avengers and Iron man comics and I think about how lucky we are. Let's not be coy here, the Iron Man movie, Avengers movie, First avenger, Guardians, Winter Soldier, Age of Ultron? We are SO lucky that those movies turned out as great as they did. Okay, say what you want about Age of Ultron, but I still think Joss Whedon did the best he could, especially when he's having to set up future Marvel movie events, split the screen time between all these great actors portraying such cool comic book characters, and making it all very fun, exciting and emotionally gripping at the same time.

It's like the Star Wars sequels (and the prequels) you have a group of people with a tendency to be obsessive and pedantic waiting for decades for something so anything that pretty much doesn't match each and every person's specific personal ideal is a failure, people need to learn to take things on face value and for what they are.   

Take Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy which I adore, the TV mini-series and film were far from perfect but I watch them in a vacuum (not an actual one, I would suffocate almost instantly) on their own merits instead of in the context of the books.

Hitchhiker's is an interesting example. With the film, there was this part of my brain screaming, "You should be disappointed in this!" but when I left the theater, and every time I've watched it since, it's just left me feeling so darned good. There's something very life-affirming at the heart of it all. I don't watch it thinking, "This is the greatest movie ever!" It's probably about an 8 out of 10, but I can't escape the feeling of contentment I get when I watch it.

I feel it mostly captures the spirit, I'd much rather someone running with the idea and making it their own instead of slavishly sticking to something that I can't imagine translating to a film for the sake of 'authenticity'

[Edward J Grug III]

I haven't seen it since the cinema, but I really didn't enjoy it. Perhaps is should revisit it.

[Darth Geek]

I've never ready any of the books, or seen the earlier adaptation of it. But even I was a bit underwhelmed with the movie. It felt like they spent more time with the visuals than the humor. I was funny at times, and I really liked Mos Def in it. But there were some times when it seemed like the movie stopped being funny to show us the splendor of the effects (the rebuilding of Earth in particular).

[RoninFox]

I'd call the Hitchhikers movie my third favorite version of the story, ranking below the book series at number 1 and the BBC Radio Series as number 2. Can't say I've disliked any version of it to date (though I never got far on the old text adventure computer game, so I can't say for sure.)

[jonalame]

I love all the incarnations of Hitchhiker's Guide. I was going to rant on this, but I'm being told I've already done that years ago.

As far as Civil War goes, I'm finding my real world politics and my comic book politics don't jive. I'll leave it at that, because politics.
