I'm not angry or mad, or saying it's a huge spoiler.
Just saying to be a little considerate, when someone complains of seeing the title, instead of laughing at them for being in the thread when they were minding there own business and couldn't help but see it.

I don't know how you'd interpret the bit where General Ross comes in as anything else

'You've operated with unlimited power'

Nothing to do with Bucky. If you're only 'casually glancing' at a trailer, you probably don't care that much anyway.

Is this real life?

Did you do this in the
Ant-Man
clip thread?

This is what I responded too.
Why the hell are thread titles spoiling plot points of a movie?

Not everyone has read the comics and I am sure some of the people who haven't do not want any of the movie spoiled for them (like me).
HAHAHAHAHAHA

Only thing that the comic and the movie share is the title. And if it bothers you that much then I don't think you should be in this thread.


I was just defending this guy, who knew nothing about the story, and how I could see all they might have gotten out of the first trailer was that the conflict seemed to center around Bucky and how Cap was willing to give up everything for his friend and the consequences surrounding his decision.

The guy couldn't miss the thread title and he got laughed at for stating something he tried to avoid.

Again I don't think it's a big spoiler, but no need to hate on those who try to limit themselves from having the move spoiled. A simple thread title fixes everything.

New Civil War clip
 
Guys! Even the official synopsis has spoilers! Has Disney gone too far?!?
Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.
 
Y'all are like two seconds from me dropping full spoilers for the whole movie in your damn PMs

Then we'll see if this stuff is a spoiler
 
Don't worry about spoilers guys. Super hero registration has nothing to do with their conflict.
Baron Zemo kidnaps Pepper Potts and forces Iron Man to fight Cap for her life.
 
G-Fex is killing me.
I realize it's a minor thing, but GAF is usually such a nice environment for avoiding spoilers, even small ones. Spoilers are hidden, and threads where they aren't are always clearly marked. I appreciate it.
It's in the official synopsis and marketing.

It's not a spoiler. Not even a "small" one.
 
Isn't the superhero debate in the comics structured very similar to the modern day gun debate?

Should there be some kind of oversight regarding people with enormous superpowers just like there is for virtually everything else in life? They're really asking the tough questions here.
So am I missing something?

Iron Man:
There should be some form of oversight for incredibly powerful individuals, just as there is for virtually everything else around the world, from guns to drugs to cars.

Captain America:
There should be no oversight whatsoever because the people in charge could be evil and they will be evil in the movie to conveniently make me seem like less of a moron.
 
Captain: You know the oldest lie in america, Tony? That superhero registration can be innocent.
Iron Man: Shit in a tin can and call it shepherd's pie, I'm not buying it.
Captain America: Then if god won't kill iron man, the devil will do it!

*tchaikovsky starts playing loudly*
 
Stark, easily.

I'd like to think that Tony has realized how close he came to ending all human life by fucking around in the last movie, and that's why he has frightened himself into being on the pro-registration side.

That seems to be the case. In fact I have a hard time seeing how that's not a unanimous observation. This dude has been responsible for some major fuckups. Directly with Ultron and indirectly with them using his tech to open the portal in the first Avengers.

The same way he realized in Ironman 1 that his weapons and whatnot were out of control and causing all kinds of hell; now here he is again having damn near caused extinction. Worried primarily about his own destructive potential he wants to wrap everyone in the rope that perhaps only he needs to be constrained in.

Misery loving company and all that. The dude is projecting big time; and it's coming right at a point where for 2 movies straight the government and its oversight/control have disappointed Captain America. First in Avengers by using the cube for WMDs, second in WS by building those ships and the whole "This isn't freedom its fear" thing.
 
You'd have to be kind of daft to assume that Tony wouldn't be on the Pro-Registration side after the events of Ultron.

If Tony were Team Cap people would instead pull the excuse that Tony is just looking for an outlet to be completely irresponsible again. There are three key occasions in the MCU so far where Tony is arguably "responsible" for creating a problem within the confines of the MCU - Iron Man 1 by being a weapons manufacturer (self-contained), Iron Man 3 by fucking over Killian (indirectly debatable), and Avengers 2 by creating Ultron which is really the one big one. You could say Avengers 1 but I hardly count that since Stark Tower's biggest crime was having a lot of clean energy that Loki could steal.

When people criticize Tony for the stance he's taking it doesn't even really feel like they're doing it for the sake of Tony being morally wrong in his approach - it feels more that those people envision that the alternative wouldn't even involve Tony in the first place, as if anti-legislation would somehow mean everyone wins except him; the guy who would inevitably fuck that up in the first place. The fact that the one who refuses to be a team player has developed this much since Iron Man 2 is really intriguing.

Either way he swings there doesn't really seem like people think there's room for redemption. But I mean, that's not really limited to him alone - you could make the case that Scarlet Witch was responsible for fucking him up in the first place and fucking Banner up too. That and in this particular movie Cap is pretty much acting as a Bucky apologist so he's not particularly perfect either. I think if nothing else they got the perfect "leads" for each team since they're both flawed with a personal justification for their ideologies, while the likes of how Vision, War Machine, Hawkeye, Ant-Man etc. is a side they take for less emotionally aggravating reasons.

Personally I'm still #TeamIronMan though because I think the personal stakes of Tony are far more interesting considering what he's been through, and it's still a somewhat justifiable viewpoint from a storytelling perspective. But I'm not really all too aligned because I just miss when everyone were friends. I almost feel like this movie is going to make me want Infinity War sooner so everyone will team up again and be on the same page.

Y'all are like two seconds from me dropping full spoilers for the whole movie in your damn PMs
