One more MCU movie to watch so I can finish my pre-IW ranking. Fortunately, Civil War is on Netflix, so I don’t have to deal with any more crappy illegal videos.

Why is Steve being such an arrogant prick?

Oh hey, that’s the “Pie Jesu” from Fauré’s Requiem that the little boys in the ruffly robes are singing at Peggy’s funeral.

Why are there police in Bucharest speaking German with “Polizei” on their vests?

I just completely ignored a whole action sequence to scroll through Tumblr on my phone. I don’t feel like I missed anything important. That might say more about me than it does about the movie.

i feel like civil war would have ended a lot differently if it had been jarvis inside the suit when tony saw his parents killed instead of friday

i’m trying to figure out if I want to interpret this as

a. Jarvis would calm Tony down and things would have been resolved somewhat peacefully

or

b. Jarvis would have been like: sir I believe we should kick him in the dick.

I would pay infinity dollars to watch b.

I always assumed a but now that I’ve read b you have completely converted me

I compared him to Tony Stark because of their similar “humor” – and I put that in quotes because Tony is actually funny. You are right though, new Thor didn’t give a shit about anything – his dead friends, the conflict with Loki, his home being destroyed. But those writers do sound … troubling. I see the criticism for Civil War, but I would argue that some of the personal soap opera conflicts weren’t done that well. They were never truly angry at each other, so the stakes never felt real.

Right, and of course TW was explaining the change in Thor’s speech patterns by citing the time he’s spent with Tony Stark. Which somehow occurred in the 2 years after AOU when Thor was not on Earth, but out in the universe searching for Infinity Stones.

The whole thing in Civil War was just kind of bizarre… and the writers have said things suggesting that they think Cap’s moral certainty is a virtue and Tony’s self-doubt is somehow a bad thing. Which I think is completely absurd, because it seemed to me that Tony came off as the reasonable one and Cap as an arrogant, self-righteous asshole.

(To the people tempted to bring up General Ross and the HYDRA infiltration of SHIELD again: I kind of doubt that HYDRA is going to infiltrate the governments of all the member countries of the UN. And recall that it was Wakanda leading the call for international supervision of the Avengers. Wakanda. Uncolonized, technologically advanced, hidden African nation Wakanda.)

Imagine saying a character “know[ing] they’re right and doesn’t want to hear it when you tell them they’re wrong” was a good thing. That this wasn’t one of Steve Rogers, Captain America’s greatest flaws.

Imagine believing that this is a character trait that CAROL DANVERS would be proud to have. Imagine never having picked up a comic book in your life, and saying that Carol Danvers isn’t one of these “flawed, fucked up people”.

Imagine if Marcus & McFeely actually gave a f*ck about Carol and didn’t get her character so wrong.

No. Thank fuck they’re not writing Captain Marvel.

Wait, so… they didn’t think that was a flaw in Steve Rogers? They wrote Civil War thinking that Steve was the sympathetic one and Tony “contorted ego” [???] Stark was the villain? Because boy, did that go wrong. I came out of that movie thinking that Steve was a complete asshole and Tony was the one being (relatively) reasonable.

…kind of like what happened when Waititi, Pearson, and Hemsworth tried to make Thor the “best” character in his own movie, eh, @fuckyeahrichardiii?

I feel like we don’t talk about Bucky Barnes’ name enough. I mean, who the heck names their kid after President James Buchanan? Who even cares about President Buchanan? Literally all I know about President Buchanan is that he was 1) unable to prevent the Civil War from happening and 2) almost definitely gay.

…wait.
