hahaha I love every review of civil war calling it cowardly for not taking a stance! you missed the fucking point! like it flew right over your head and you missed it! if it had taken a stance it would've discounted the entire point that these characters are fully disconnected from what's happening! they are trying trying to get the shot, get the quote, get the photo!
the entire time I was watching civil war, I wanted it to be a trilogy. I want the same movie again but from the perspective of one of the sides, and then the same movie again from the other side. I want two sequels with bias so the original hits all the harder.
both sides of the war toted exactly zero political ideologies that we got to know about. literally zero. its just war, buddy! and when you're in the warzone, it doesn't matter why people are shooting. it just matters that you don't get shot

I've seen a lot of fanfics portraying Tony as regretful of dragging Spider-Man into the Avengers mess, especially the not telling aunt may part.
I want to see more where Tony did it partially because his sense of what's normal for what age is simply screwed.
What was Tony doing at his age? Drugs, sex, collage and probably getting kidnapped for ransom
Being a vigilante would have simply placed Peter as a player on the board.
Anyway that's my theory that i wish i saw more of then "why would he do that! He's an adult!" I'll tell you why, it's because he's Tony Stark and his life's not been exactly "normal"

The fact that Mandalorians apparently do child fight clubs for training explains a lot about both Satine “extremist pacifist” Kryze and Bo-Katan “joined a terrorist group as a teen” Kryze

“At least Karim would lead the people with some sense of certainty . . .” I think it’s really interesting that Janai focused so much on Karim’s certainty in this quote back in season four, while she was agonising over whether or not to fully embrace being queen, because yes, Karim is much more certain and decisive than his sister, but we see that is actually its own weakness. While Janai often hesitates and deliberates (I loved her not being able to choose out of just two flower options, and Amaya’s exasperation; that was funny and cute) that also means that she looks deeper, thinks longer, and more often comes to better conclusions than Karim, who often just confidently charges into the wrong decisions. It feeds into this thing with the sun seed, where Janai has the patience to wait for it to grow (a metaphor for guiding her people into a new era, a different world, a more accepting world) even if it will take multiple lifetimes, and Karim does not. He takes short cuts. He cuts corners. He makes sketchy deals with forces he doesn’t understand or fully control. He might have led the people with certainty, but to no good end. Janai’s thoughtfulness is ultimately a greater strength than Karim’s certainty

I didn't hate Civil War, but I wouldn't say I absolutely loved it, either. It is an amazing movie, but it was very hard to watch.
I would say it is best to watch Civil War knowing as little as possible, so please be warned for any potential spoilers below.
It is incredibly well written, directed, shot, and acted. I really appreciate the story, it gripped me from the beginning, with the unique sound design during the A24 title card.
But I also nearly got a panic attack in the first 5 minutes. This movie is definitely not for those with PTSD, especially combat and/or gun-related trauma. If any of those apply to you and you still want to see it, I wouldn't recommend IMAX. You will feel every shot fired. Otherwise, the biggest screen with the loudest speakers is the best way to watch Civil War.
The cast was fantastic. Kirsten Dunst and Wagner Moura felt so real, and Stephen McKinley Henderson just seems like an expansion of his Dune character, in the best way. I'll be honest, and again this is kind of a spoiler, but I was expecting more Jesse Plemons. He was great, the scene was fantasticly blood-pumping, but I just thought he might have a larger role. My real standout performance, though, is from Cailee Spaeny as Jessie. Last seeing her in Pacific Rim: Uprising helped to reinforce the idea that she's still "just a kid", but her performance as the story progresses really exemplifies the horror of war that turns bright-eyed kids into weary adults in an instant.
As much as people will try to figure out the politics of Civil War or just make up their own, this movie isn't about politics. There is a scene that really drives the message home, if you're paying attention (LAST SPOILER WARNING).
The scene at the winter wonderland is just a microcosm of the movie and the war. You have two sides shooting at each other, and all that matters to the other is that they shoot first. It doesn't matter who started or who is from where or who believes in what. That might've mattered at the beginning, but now all that matters is being the last one standing.
It doesn't matter who started the war or why, all that matters to either side is victory.
I am a pacifist, but I appreciate war films, because most of them are anti-war. Civil War was hard to watch, but I'm very glad I did.

civil war as a movie is so fucking good and compelling but what really punched me in the chest was joel.
let me explain, with spoilers.
we watch him for two hours be a friend, be a mentor, be a good guy who grieves and mourns and screams about the shit that he sees, about the things that hurt. and this whole time we're watching lee as a closed off mentor figure, as someone who has Seen Too Much and just wants the shot. does not intervene, as photojournalists never do, who just watches, captures, shares to let others do the thinking and feeling and talking and intervening. and we watch jessie learn from her, desperate for the shot. to prove herself. to capture the moment. she stops caring about her own safety in pursuit of the perfect photo.
but joel. we have watched him care and cry and be kind. but when it reaches his moment as a journalist, he kneels down and asks for a quote, and the quivering victim begs "don't let them kill me" and all he says is, thank you. thank you for the quote. thank you for making my career, my article. and he watches the soldiers shoot. and we are forced to look joel in the eye as he says thank you. forced to watch in slow motion as he stands, as the gun goes off, as he looks away with disinterest.
his friend is dead down the hall. he barely even stopped by the body. in pursuit of capturing the moment, he foregoes his humanity. its shocking even though we've seen it in everyone else already. lee started this way. jessie became this way. sammy was not this way, but sammy is dead and that's because he cared for others.
but joel. its shocking because its the one showing so much fucking feeling throughout. he's the one who does not care when the man is shot by his feet. because he got his quote.

I keep seeing “Victoria secret prison colonies” in discussion of Ward and it keeps being something that. I don’t actually absorb as something upcoming? Like I hear things like “Kenzie will try to force someone to be her girlfriend at gunpoint” or “Weld will go into detail about how he fakes orgasms” and think “yeah I don’t see how we get there but that seems like something that could happen I’ll watch out for it.” But I hear “Victoria secret prison colonies” and it’s like the poster is describing a fanfic they don’t like. Or a plot point in a comic relaunch that fans of an earlier run think ruins the character and they don’t count as canon. Except it’s part of a singular text by one author and fits the general pattern of “wildbow character doing more and more horrific shit as their baseline for acceptable actions shift,” so I’m not sure why I’m having this response. Even after typing this up I won’t be expecting it I’ll just be reading and suddenly be surprised by Victoria Secret Prison Colonies.

Rhodey got replaced by Skrulls after Endgame NOT in Civil War
Just because he’s wearing a blue gown that’s very similar to the one he wore in Civil War, doesn’t mean he’s been missing since 2016.
Rhodey is wearing the leg braces Tony made for him up from the ending of Civil War to Endgame. It was in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier where he’s first seen not wearing them.
Meaning that it was sometime during that 6 Month gap between Endgame and TFATWS where he got kidnapped and replaced by Skrulls.
