But it's not a real trilogy

How is it not?I do like how MCU Exchange puts together videos.
But it isn't.
How is it not?
I guess I can see where you're coming from but this is the first cinematic universe so trying to balance both while also telling larger stories gets a bit difficult. But I mean, it's three films based on the same character in his own "mini-series" so it's still a trilogy.I can't think of any other trilogies where the comprehension of those depends on movies outside of the trilogy. Not so much The First Avenger and The Winter Soldier, but Civil War - its story depends on stuff not mentioned in the first two movies, it assumes knowledge about characters who don't appear in those movies, etc.
That's another thread, anyway.

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct!But I mean, it's three films based on the same character in his own "mini-series" so it's still a trilogy.
Whether it's a trilogy or not, Civil War isf damned entertaining. To a lesser degree, isn't the Iron Man trilogy kinda reliant on MCU links?

I mean, on a related note, I literally wandered into HMV today and every single Blu-ray copy of Civil War had this as the front cover:

About sums it up, really.
Son, just don't.

What comprehension is missing in the film itself? New characters are introduced but you don't need to watch the other films to comprehend their motivations in Civil War.
Do you get more context watching the other films? Sure. But it's garnish.
Civil War is less Captain Murica 3 and more The Avengers 2.5 to be honest.

Nah, the backdrop to Steve & Tony's conflict is more than garnish. The events that lead to the accords - the context of Steve, Tony and the Avengers' involvement in the Sokovia incident, which leads to the main villain's motivation. That's integral to the movie and only really glossed over in Civil War itself. You wouldn't even know what Sokovia was when it was first brought up in the film, with Tony at the conference.
I'm not saying it's unwatchable, but it's like watching the first and final movies in a trilogy. It'd be an experience of "Who's that?", "What happened?", "This person knows that person?", etc.
That would be my biggest reason against saying it's a trilogy as well. Civil War is more about Iron Man to a large extent than Captain America.
When all is said and done, Steve Rogers has had a pretty tragic life.
It's Captain America 3: Civil War
It's also very much a Winter Soldier sequel as much as it is an AoU sequel.
Capitalising on the primary concept and marketing hook of that film nonethelessI can't believe a film is using one of it's main characters on its marketing.

Whoever was chosen to take the Super Soldier serum was destined to have a tragic life. Steve was chosen because he could handle it.
The more I see Civil War, the more I wish we had a more focused Cap 3. Because I found the highway chase from TWS vastly more entertaining than "hey, let's all fight" from CW.

1. Steve Rogers is not just some dumb soldier who follows orders, he thinks outside the box and asks questions and considers consequences.
2. Peggy Carter had plans to eat that boy alive before he became a delicious roast beefcake in Howard Starks hottie machine.
3. I dont understand people who didnt enjoy this movie.

Is anyone who has seen the other MCU movies supposed to give half a shit about this "flaw"? It's a serialized TV series with an astronomical budget. Anyone who isn't up to speed can watch one of half a million "previously, in these mahvel movies" things on YouTube before they turn up at the theatre.
Expected way more from this video ... it starts showing the important story bits from Cap 1 ... and the goes to all fight scenes and then goes to 2 and 3 and 2 and ...
And it misses the important bits about with Carter ... and I find this insane since I will never be able to rewatch cap 1 without remembering the classic tumblr post :
