    I honestly cant believe Captain America: Civil War came out 6 years ago. It's in my top 10 favorite MCU films. Been looking forward to the Infinity War Honest Reviews. Was team Cap from the get go. These Captain America films have honestly changed my life. Rest in power Chadwick Boseman.

    Ant-man did have some of the best moments in this movie, like when he goes into Iron-man's suit:
    Tony: Who's speaking?
    Scott: It's your conscience, we don't talk a lot these days.

    Oh, yeah. I've waited a long time for this.
    Always loved your Honest Reviews the most. Yes, it is cathartic to rant about bad movies and make fun of them, but to hear someone as passionate about something as you are about superheroes talking about why they love something just feels so wholesome and nice. Also love your insights and little details, so it's always a pleasure for me to hear you talk about things you like and why.
    Still prefer Winter Soldier myself, as I find it tighter and more intense. But I get why some people prefer Civil War and its bigger scale and spectacle, while still giving the characters their due.
    Great review, great to see you're still doing this. Hope you're doing well.

    And yes, if it wasn't for Zemo, you could make the argument that the whole team was there at Wakanda to successfully stop Thanos... so yeah, definitely he was the most affective antagonist.

    I really liked Civil War. And I thought they did a good job keeping the two sides of the argument well balanced and reasonable, but with one huge flaw. GENERAL ROSS! They literally have one of the villains from a previous MCU film on one side of the debate!

  • @michaelnally2841
    @michaelnally2841 2 года назад +1

    Personally I find this film to be a bigger accomplishment than most of the other MCU films. The had 12 different heroes, give each one an appropriate amount of screen time, everyone jelled while kept the focus on Cap, introduced Black Panther well, and on top of that included one of the best action scenes in the entire MCU. I do also like a couple bits like adapting red wing into a drone

  • @DianaGohan
    @DianaGohan 2 года назад +3

    Major props to Erod for doing a 15 minute review on Civil War and still covering it so well. Probably because he wanted to focus on what was most important and worth celebrating and not dive too much into the supporting cast or a lot of the other plots as yeah you easily could go on for much longer on this movie but I think he nailed all the most important talking points; why this works more then the comic because you care about the characters (as Linkara pointed out both Iron Man AND Captain America aren't likeable in the Civil War comic which.... yeah makes the drama a lot less compelling so I don't get the people who say the comic is better. The comic has more going on and more characters sure but at the end of the day if you hate the primary leaders of both side and it's a story based on tough decisions with no easy answers that has a definite actual answer that feels like a failure); why Zemo is such a great more subdued villain (and thankfully that wasn't lost in other works), how this wasn't cluttered and still focused on the right characters, all of the awesome action scenes and writing and what makes this also my favorite MCU movie (a lot of the other big event movies are really close like Infinity War/Endgame and even No Way Home but all of the balancing acts this one do are just right and fully work on me) and heck getting even to work in all the stuff from the other honest reviews from favorite character/scene/line, the after credits (no BALS this time though heh heh) and yeah even the Stan Lee cameos as I guess that is going to end once we get to Endgame but hey let's enjoy the ride until we get there. And I do appreciate Erod pointing out how that Cap was originally seen as a "lesser franchise" after his first debut (not the worst as Hulk did make less money plus had issues with Universal but yeah Iron man was clear Number one and the first Thor did make more money and seemed like that would be the second solo main franchise) and how that changed after Winter Soldier (I should also note that Robert Downy Jr. was originally only suppose to cameo in Cap 3 and not have a major starring role when Downy Jr. was planning on leaving the role for the most part after Age of Ultron but changed his mind and it was reworked thank god to be more about both of them which yeah makes things way more interesting) so yeah everything was covered... except I do with Eric mentioned this is the first overall good comic book movie TRILOGY that's ever came out. Where stuff like Sam Raimi's Spider Man, Christopher Nolan's Batman and heck even the Iron man movies had more flaws overall this was perfect 10s across the board but eh otherwise good stuff and can't wait for the Doctor Strange honest review... do wonder if we're getting one on Spider man Homecoming/Far From Home but still great to finally see this out.

    • @DianaGohan
      @DianaGohan 2 года назад

      Also should be pointed out the big reason that got Civil War off the ground was that though it was a project the Russos wanted to make it wasn't something Feige was totally onboard with... until finding out that the DCEU was going ahead with a Batman v Superman movie as their SECOND film. Seeing the competition was trying for something like that made him realize "okay we put in the work to actually make something like that work and we need to show them how it's done" which got that the go ahead which was especially ironic since for awhile DC actually put Batman v Superman in the same release slot given to this movie. And if you look back at 2014 a lot of people at the time thought that was a death sentence for THIS movie and that BvS would totally cream this movie. Seriously even the guy from Cinema Sins made a video about that
      ruclips.net/video/DOLQTfKVV4I/видео.html
      Which is so hilariou in hindsight because BvS wound up having to chicken out and change the date and obviously failed in every way possible compared to Civil War. Finanically, critically, through the fans. Heck except for super Snyder fanboys I think EVERYONE who has seen the two movies agrees Civil War is better then Dawn of Justice. Because it is and seriously shows how much DC fumbled the ball and how on top of it Marvel is.

    As "Overly Sarcastic Productions" excellently explains in their "Trope Talk: Paragons" video, There's a reason the movie is "Captain America 3" and not just "Avengers 2.5"; The conflict of the movie entirely revolves around Steve Roger's decisions and actions because he's the charismatic paragon leader who will uncompromisingly fight for what he believes is right.
    Everyone who's on his side is on his side because he's Captain America and they have faith in what he's doing is the right thing. Everyone against him is against him because they know Steve THINKS he's in the right and will never give up. Trying to convince him otherwise would be futile so they have no choice but to try and subdue him by force.
    Captain America: "Stark tell you anything else?"
    Spider-Man: "That you're wrong. You think you're right. That makes you dangerous."
    Captain America: "Guess he had a point."

    @alexandrefrauches132 2 года назад +2

    This movie is a great exemple of how adaptation can be different and still be better than the source material. Some people complain about this film (and MCU movies, specially nowadays) saying they don't follow the comics accurately but is not the case. They are able to make good stories by focusing in what made the stories they adapting so important and interest. In the case of Civil War it was the concept moral dillema splitting the Marvel heroes and putting them against each other.
    Makes sense for the film to focus not on armies of heroes fighting each other and everbody acting out of character but on the moral conflict between Cap and Iron Man and how affect the relationships between the avengers. They look at the strong points of the comics while fixing it's problems.

      Since you like to complain torwards the Blockbuster Buster over bad researching. I just think Mavel Ultimate Alliance 2 is the perfect balance and the best one out of the three Civil War versions. Because MUA2 follows the Civil War story and changed some of the more questionable moments and made them better, while also telling a good story that's simply original.

    @MichaelAarons1701 2 года назад +1

    I’ve always had a problem with this movie and it has never been easy to like it because of the fact that it made some very poor decisions. The fact that it is a “Captain America” movie instead of merely being “Civil War” already undermines the issue of being torn on sides especially since there’s now a solid moral divide where each side has its points but the main problem for me is that there is a villain. The entire plot hinges on Poor Communication Kills and rhe characters holding the Idiot Ball so that rational discussion can’t diffuse a situation allowing Zemo’s *convoluted* plan to actually succeed.
    Just have Bucky act recklessly during a mission to create the split between Cap and Stark so that you see it from both sides. Have him stop Crossbones from releasing that virus he stole but at the cost of collateral lives compared to all of Vienna becoming infected. It adds the extra layer of the lesser of 2 evils. And the whole business with Secovia which Stark has no guilt for since Ultron happened unexpectedly once Tony merely stepped out the room so he is innocent of anything that came of it since it was unpredictable. Furthermore, General Ross’ big lecture about The Avengers’ recklessness slaps the MCU’s efforts to show the Avengers actually care about endangering civilians caught in the crossfire which _Age of Ultron_ made a huge stink about to stick it to a certain…it’s Superman…
    If you need Tony to feel bad about the problems the team has caused, then bring up Tony’s villains or the Hulkbuster fight. That would at least validate Vision’s theory that they bring out the crazies they rise up to fight. And as for the inciting incident of why a registration needs to be enacted, have Scarlet Witch fail to contain the blast from Rumlo’s grenade and it causes a huge fire in the marketplace ruining peoples’ lives or livelihoods.
    And with that, no villain, no predetermined winner, and an actual moral gray zone.

And these honest reviews are also for the main channel without having to pay anything.
