It was done better in the movie than in the comic version. The comic Civil War crams even more heroes in, but still manages to have some strangely missing. Some of the better comic storylines like Infinity Gauntlet had multiple heroes and the first Avengers movie was especially good.Sinful wrote:I didn't like it. And in this case, not because my geeky comic book standards are too high.BrianC wrote:I liked Captain America Civil War better than the comic it's based on. The comic verison is flawed. The ending is rushed and the portrayal of some characters (especially Mr. Fantastic) is off. The movie isn't perfect, but I found it to be much more fun and enjoyable.
All these Marvel movies cramming too many heroes nonsense also has to stop because movies already have too much trouble cramming everything in as is. ... Oh, and origin stories, enough with the origin stories already. Never liked them, and sure as heck not having any fun ODing on them.
Spoiler
Mr. Fantastic, usually one of more level headed characters, is cold and distant here. He is the one behind the prision for superheroes.
Unlike in the movie, Tony Stark sticks to his guns throughout and takes over Shield, who still works for the government. The ending is very tacked on. Captain America just gives up when people side against him for no good reason.
Shield uses the Thunderbolts, a villain group similiar to DC's suicide squard, against the heroes at times, to the point where Spider-Man is badly beaten and almost dies, despite him being friends with Stark and on his side at first.
There is no real villain in the comic like the movie version, just heroes like Mr. Fantastic, who don't usually act like villains, acting like villains.
