No Civil War for Avengers 3. It doesn't make sense to make your heroes into villains and politicize the MCU.

 

[Chewy]

RDJ's Tony Stark as the antagonist is not gonna fly in a movie

Aside from the severe problems Civil War had, I also don´t see how all that plot could fit into a movie of watchable length and still have the needed deepness for the main characters involved...

 

[Incredible Hans]

So FAR the film Continuity is alot better than the regular Comic universe. lol

Sounds good. I get really annoyed by continuity errors.

BTW, I just noticed something which is really stupid in Star Wars.

They try to hide baby Luke from his father, right? So that Anakin would never find him...

How stupid is it then not to change Luke's last name.

If I tried to hide a baby from his father who is a guy called Skywalker, would I really let the baby grow up with the name Skywalker? No, I would give him a brand new ID, right?

Yoda and Obi-Wan are dilettantes.

A basis might not mean a direct adaptation, though.

Captain America and Iron Man have had their fallings outs throughout the years. "Civil War", however, made it into open combat.

Well, the Star Wars galaxy is fairly large and Tatooine is a pretty backwater planet that Vader wouldn't visit often or at all. Plus, being told that his wife died, he probably assumed his children died along with her, so had no real motive to search for them.

Come on!

Tatooine is the planet where Anakin grew up himself!

And now another guy whose name is Skywalker lives there.

No one would be so careless. If you try to hide someone from his father, you don't put him in the same place where his father lived and let him use the same family name. That is simply stupid.

Besides, how do Yoda and Obi-Wan know that the Emperor told Anakin that his wife died? They weren't present during that conversation.

 

[Matt Mortem]

So......how bout them Avengers?

 

[Iceman]

The Marvel film universe is still new. Even if Civil War were a good idea it can't really be done until the universe is mature and everyone (not just comic fans) fully understands the motivations behind all the main characters and a LOT more characters are established. Maybe in 20 /30 years time if the MU is still going strong and then I'll just say it's a bad idea rather than way too early.

The Avengers is sitting at 96% with 20 Reviews

Only about 240+ more to go.

 

[The Morningstar]

Civil War just wouldn't logistically work in the MCU. You can't villainise any of these characters. And there simply isn't enough superhumans to make a SHRA worthwhile.

What you could do is have a clash of philosophies over the idea of Avengers being privatised or actually part of SHIELD.

 

[warcam]

Actually 25....24+ & 1-

 

[Whiskey Tango]

So many better stories than Civil War, what is the obsession with that one?

 

[ElMariachi]

Civil War is great but wouldnt work on the big screen. Nobody wants to see preachy Cap and Tony as the bad guy. He was an awesome bad guy though. Wait, what am i talking about? Stark was right!

 

[The Morningstar]

The thing that makes Civil War even worse than it already was? Apparently Marvels intention was for us to side with Stark and the Pro-Reg side.

Ha, well you ****ed up there didn't you?

 

[TheVileOne]

Nikki Finke suggested that Kevin Feige is a candidate to replace Rich Ross as head of Disney.

I kind of hope he doesn't. I know people have issues with Feige but what he's accomplished as an architect for the whole MCU is amazing. I hope he is around for Avengers 2 and such. But still, I don't see how he could do any worse of a job than Rich Ross. I just hope he wouldn't be set up to fail.

 

[TheVileOne]

The whole problem with Civil War is that Tony Stark has always been the maverick and the rule-breaker. He's not the type that would've sided with registration. Cap is more like that person.

There's nothing really fascist about registration either. It's basically the same idea as Avengers Academy. SHIELD and Nick Fury basically say, "OK you young upstart heroes we're giving you free training under the greats if you want to run around in a costume so you know not to blow up a playground full of kids."

I thought the Pro-Reg side was a stand in for the Bush Administration and the Patriot act.

The one thing that I couldn't understand is what made Stark's Registration act worse than the mutant registration act. The Superheroes didn’t really care about that did they.

You could say that power changes people.

 

[Scarlettess]

soooo who's watching Graham Norton right now?

Mark Ruffallo is on it, and Graham just introduced the show with a little about each character, Cap's being "Captain America, the world's goodest superhero, and according to his star on his chest employee of the month at Mcdonalds"

edit: of course he was joking.


and CLIP alert! NEW CLIP!

 

[Son of Coul]

The cool part about Civil War is the angle of superheroes fighting superheroes. The story of Civil War itself isn't anything spectacular, so if the right story gets us to that fun idea, it's not necessary. The Avengers seems to get these heroes kicking the **** out of each other, and since that's the entire angle that Civil War hinges on I don't see a real reason for bringing that to the movies.

And like everybody said-- Pro-Reg as villains, Anti-Reg as fools, and no moral sense of camaraderie prevailing (especially in a capper to the trilogy) will likely keep a direct adaptation from seeing the light of day, hopefully.

Seen this floating around. It'd be a hell of a career move and I couldn't blame him but I'd hate to lose him at Marvel.

Oh I LOVE it.
Mark Ruffalo is on The Graham Norton show. I'm gushing with nerdagasm.
