beautiful, but the last scene, where you see "supposedly" all heroes from both factions going at it...
well.. it's empty
look at this scene..
https://youtu.be/dKrVegVI0Us?t=128
does not even remotely resamble the royal rumble that civil war was...
oh well :/

Yeah, this was addressed earlier.

Only the stuff in their immediate area is going to be real. Everything else will be green screen, just as it usually is for these kind of movies.

It looks bad. Really bad.

I think witchedwiz was referring to how small scale the film version of civil war seems compared to the comic, which of course has the quantity thing going for it (if not the other thing.)

or, this, basically:

 

[ScreenSplitter]

About 15 miles back are Daredevil and Luke Cage getting major stitches because nobody on their team flies

 

[lupinko]

That was totally a superhero landing.

or, this, basically:

Anybody expecting that should review the MCU. There aren't nearly enough heroes and villains to recreate that royal rumble without pulling them out of the magic hat, without any introduction, which wouldn't work.

Theoretically, they had the perfect chance to include the MCU's television/netflix/SHIELD part and they didn't. Oh well.

 

[ScreenSplitter]

They could have waited a little longer but a lot of characters were absent in the comics civil war (Hulk, Thor), and they want to do Civil War when the MCU is at its peak. We want to see Civil War with RDJ's Stark!

And yeah, they could have included the Netflix heroes, but really I'm assuming that the TV and the movies are very very tangentially linked unless told otherwise. Shame with Ross calling Cap out as a "vigilante" that Daredevil isn't present mind.

Yeah, I got that. I think what additionally limits them is that visually, it is grounded in live action.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I'm glad there are less characters. The Winter Soldier worked because it had good character moments that worked alongside the action scenes. I wouldn't want to lose that just for more spectacle.

It is not just the amount of characters. Comic Civil War shows the airport scene could look much better.

 

[Sadist]

Well, duh.

 

[Slayven]

Well in the comic they had Cloak for transportation.

 

[Oersted]

Well, duh.

It also looks bad independently from the source

 

[FyreWulff]

Even if they had the rights, the cost of paying all the actors alone basically makes a comic book scale fight w/ principal level characters in an all out brawl not feasible, ignoring proper filmmaking structure

 

[Renekton]

Any idea what Helmut Zemo is up to?

The problem with that scene, besides the abysmal shot framing, is that the airport looks too pristine. Give me some destruction and collateral damage man. Sell me on the war.

Well, the fighting has to start first.

Check the scene where Iron Man is attending to a downed Warmachine.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Well, the fighting has to start first.

Sure, but we saw some hints of the fights scenes and the airport still looked in better condition than I would expect. It's one side-effect of having two non-powered people.

Really, I still maintain that the main issue with that scene is that the framing is crap and looks like the most cliche trash ever. I can't even begin to explain how much I dislike it.

Check the scene where Iron Man is attending to a downed Warmachine.

I mean, the place is smoking hard, sure. I guess I expect more collateral damage considering the story.

 

[Ahasverus]

Theoretically, they had the perfect chance to include the MCU's television/netflix/SHIELD part and they didn't. Oh well.

Yep. I fully expected Daredevil and such here, I mean, it concerns them. They should just officially separate the Netflix side, as the film division is never going to be bothered using them.

 

[witness]

Anybody expecting that should review the MCU. There aren't nearly enough heroes and villains to recreate that royal rumble without pulling them out of the magic hat, without any introduction, which wouldn't work.

Doesn't change the fact that the environment is so incredibly dull and uninspired that they are fighting in. It just magnifies all the other problems with this. With less heroes for the fight, there should have at least been an interesting environment for it to take place in.

 

[Renekton]

I think the first trailer had lots of stuff blowing up in that scene, including air bombardment.

exactly..
I mean, i understand limitations and whatnot.
but instead of building a civil war as a toned down 5vs5 thing, I'd have preferred them to hold it for a few years and build on the rest of the cast of mcu in the meanwhile..

they might be doing a favour the the mcu in the immediate, if this film performs well, but not in the long term, as they would waste a chance to produce one of the most controversial arc of marvel comics with a "simplified version" for a cash in..
oh well..

seriously.
civil war? the magnitude of the word?
and how many heroes are fighting? 20? 30?
like.. wow..........

 

[FyreWulff]

They don't got much time or money left for Robert Downey to believably be Stark. He's already 50 and getting more expensive by the movie.

We're eventually going to have an MCU reboot years from now anyway.

More characters doesn't necessarily mean better. The Civil War comic itself is evidence of that.

 

[Johndoey]

So Zemo made Thor clone in the tube?

 

[Sou Da]

So Zemo made Thor clone in the tube?

I said this pages back but I think Tony reviving Quicksilver is going to take the place of him trying to clone Thor in this.

 

[Red]

Maybe that shot is after they've made up, and everyone is pulling into some epic high fives.

 

[jrDev]

How can anyone be on team Stark. He straight created a murderous robot and then blew up a whole city.

This is bullshit I'm sorry...

Or maybe it will actually make a better film instead of a 10 year old boy's sand box about no names punching no names with no story arc for any character whatsoever.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

I love Ant-Man, and I kinda still like Hawkeye, T'Challa is fantastic, Falcon is useless. I like Wanda so far and think Rhodey is boring as fuck. Natasha is cool. I don't have any opinion about Vision yet, never liked him a lot in the comics. Iron Man and Cap both are great.

But in the end, it boils down to "OMG Spidey!" and "Get fucked Bucky".


So, #TeamTony it is.

 

[BronsonLee]

Oh my god, that would be FOUL

Wanda already hates him, that shit would push it too far

Maybe that shot is after they've made up, and everyone is pulling into some epic high fives.

And then a FREEZE FRAME

 

[Hystzen]

Tony flew a nuke into space and was ready to die. Cap has just punched his way to victory he has done nothing

Team Iron

 

[The Kree]

This is bullshit I'm sorry...

By all means, ignore the post I was responding to.

It doesn't look like they are there, first of all.

Team Iron

no one ever watches first avenger, apparently

 

[black070]

The comic to film comparisons are so ridiculous - this is the MCU version of Civil War, not a direct adaption, we've known that for a long time now.

 

[Johndoey]

Tony going full mad scientist to fix his mistakes? I can dig it.

 

[Oersted]

I did say it looks bad regardless of the source. And I think everyone knows it wouldn't be a direct adaption and still can be underwhelmed.

 

[demosthenes]

I still don't think the guy in the tube is tony's. The place is very dirty, and dark, tony's places aren't like that. Russos's said that both sides could be validated I don't think they're going to have tony go crazy.

 

[Hystzen]

Pfff he just crashed a plane and went to sleep in ice that's nothing

 

[Timu]

Nah...I think Tony blast the arms off using his chest reactor while Bucky is trying to rip it out.

That would be insane if that happens.

Tony...

Spoiler

#TeamIronman

Lol.

 

[Ithil]

Why would it be damaged before they started fighting?

 

[Oersted]

Why do they attack in straight lines at the same time?^^

 

[Ithil]

Because it's like a comic book.

They are about to begin fighting.

 

[Angelus Errare]

What's with those Blair Witch ass guards?

They both have to hit the button/twist the key panel at the same time.

 

[The Kree]

They are about to begin fighting.

Nah, it needs to be destroyed before it gets destroyed. The Russos are garbage if they don't know this.
