Civil War The Captain America: Civil War CRITIC REVIEWS Thread (TAG Spoilers)

Different reasons. We are meant to know as an audience that Superman comes back, it's the reaction to his sacrifice that further drives Bruce's and the world's narrative.

In MCU there is zero risk of the heroes dying because Marvel want their property to be filled with heroes who are good. But the failing of that from good story telling is there is no tension in any scene.

Every time they should, they don't.

CATWS Fury should have died brutally to the WS. You don't need him. Maria Hill simply takes his role.

AoU Ultron captures Widow and leaves her alive with a comms device. He should have televised her death to the Avengers which adds to why Hawkeye goes in to isolation and Tony should regret.

CACW completely avoids all consequence to action.

Except all these heroes will be back for IW. And you don't need to kill off anyone to raise stakes. That cheap story telling. Civil war has consequences.

While I agree that Marvel chickens out on killing people, don't act as if Snyder 'killing' Supes in BvS was 'raising the stakes', it wasn't, it was a ridiculous hamfisted attempt to shoehorn the 'Death of Superman' in an already crowded movie, it was probably the worst major death in CBMs ever, we all know that he will be back for JL

Though you are right about Marvel, not black widow (since she is one of their only major female characters) but they should have killed Hawkeye in AoU, the writing was on the wall (his family and all, he was even discussing renovating the house in the final fight) but they probably chickened out at the end and let him live, Quicksilver was killed instead

As for Nick Fury, imo they should have him killed by Thanos in IW1 or 2, that would be an appropriate time

They're use to that... You can't blame them. LOL

How many times do you need to repeat yourself? Fine,you like your superheroes dead. We get it. But death=\=consequences.

I just want some sort of consequences to raise the tension. There aren't any in this movie at all as with all the MCU except for CATWS. This movie was such a huge departure from that level of story telling.

This is the CRITIC REVIEWS thread. Y'all have plenty of discussion threads on this board. Take this discussion to one of those.

Kevin Smith talks CW. Previously he had tweeted CW is the greatest cbm ever. In this show, he says CW is shoulder to shoulder with TDK and elaborates on his high regard for the movie and what Marvel is doing and especially for CW, how he is now a jaded, middle-aged industry guy who has lost the youthful exuberance of the kid who waited breathlessly for a month for The Empire Strikes Back, but how CW makes him feel like that again.
