You'll get why Loki was pretending to be Odin, what that play was, and Thor's newest anger towards Loki.boy09 said:I guess I'll check it out then. That'll give me an excuse to watch Thor: Ragnarok again afterward.Farmer1906 said:

They definitely *******ized the Civil War plot lines from comic to film adaptation. In the comics, it was easy to pick #TeamCap, but in the films, Cap's motivation comes across as pretty shallow and short-sighted.
Uh, what? Cap just got done taking down a government agency infiltrated by HYDRA whose sole intent was to completely strip freedom from the populace. You think him not trusting another government agency to oversee the Avengers was selfish?
Sounds like they're saving that for IF.jeffk said:
Also, if they really wanted to up the ante of the film, they should have had Bucky die instead of just getting his already fake arm sheared off. There really wasn't any lasting consequences to this huge conflict other than the dissidents having to spend a couple nights in the slammer and Rhodey having to get new Lt. Dan legs.
For me, the only point that happens is where he has to bring him in kind of thing. I guess he believed he didn't do it (irrational) and thought he was saving his friend. Once they know about the super soldiers, I see no issue with his actions or motives.jeffk said:redline248 said:jeffk said:SeattleAgJr said:

If that was the main theme of his choice in the film, then no. But they muddied the waters sufficiently with all the loyalty to Bucky above country stuff to the point where govt oversight of SHIELD actually becomes the less-wrong choice.
The bombing to kick it off & Goliath were the only fatalities unless I am misremembering. To me, Spidey getting unmasked and Cap being arrested were "bigger".jeffk said:
Oh, I know. It just made the movie's big fight at the airport and final show-down feel pretty inconsequential - we already knew everyone would walk away (sorry Rhodey), so there wasn't much suspense. And honestly the comic version of Civil War included some "big" fatalities which gave it some gravitas.
As I understand it, Marvel sold the rights to Universal Orlando. In the agreement, they can't have those Marvel characters in a park east of the Mississippi. That was for the big ones like Hulk, Iron Man, Spider-Man, etc. That's why they're able to put Marvel stuff in California, China, etc. They're also adding Guardians of the Galaxy at Epcot as they weren't part of the Universal deal.Brian Earl Spilner said:
Good point.
And no, it doesn't. I guess Universal got special permission for their Orlando park. I can't keep these deals straight.

"We know pretty much what's going on in Avengers 3. You've been told who's the bad guy and what he wants for several movies and it's not going to change: that's what's going to happen. you run it in the best possible way with twists along the way, but you have no idea what Avengers 4 is. Nobody knows, and that's what makes me particularly excited. I look all the time on the internet: people have no idea! 4 resolves the intrigue of Infinity War; [the movies are] clearly linked, but they almost seem to belong to two different genres. We did not want to cut a film in half and say, 'Pay now and come back in a year for the rest!' These are two very different stories, on a tonal and structural level."

Cap was my bet to die in Infinity War. If he makes it to Avengers 4, as it appears he now will, what major character - or characters - die in IW? Because somebody big, if not a couple major somebodies, are likely to.
From what the filmmakers have told us recently, it sounds like Thor and Thanos have the most screen time in IW. If so, maybe this serves as Thor's final arc? So maybe Loki loses his brother and finally does the right/noble thing for once and sacrifices himself in A4 to save others?
Surely Cap and Tony have a heartfelt reunion and one last go at it together in A4. There's no way they kill Tony in IW, right?
What about Hulk? Black Widow?
Spider-Man survives this phase, so does Black Panther obviously, and I'm assuming Doctor Strange does as well.
Everyone else I consider "secondary" / relatively expendable in IW.
I'm mainly talking about the Big Five...
- Tony
- Cap
- Thor
- Hulk
- Black Widow
Right now I'm thinking Thor bites the dust in IW, and then Tony and Cap die in A4. Who knows with Hulk and Black Widow, but I could see both of them surviving / coming back for the next phase.
As for everyone else, I think anyone besides Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Doctor Strange is fair game over the next two Avenger movies.
