Personal opinion, don't give a shit.
Involving only some characters is not comprehensive.
Part.I
have to admit that Civil War made me start to re-examine every character the MCU has seen so far.
Pointless squabbles aside, I personally don't think you can find any reason to bash "Civil War" for not being a good movie. The length of the film is 148 minutes and nearly two and a half hours. There is not a second of excess or procrastination in the plot (I decided to selectively ignore the so-called kiss scene). The plot is very compact and the fighting scene is very exciting, so that you can't watch it too much. Think, only in the aftertaste will you realize that this movie has left you so much room for thinking.
In the movies before the MCU, except for a few characters who have independent movies, the rest of the characters are really not so popular, such as Falcon, such as Hawkeye, everyone has more of a joint love for them, to say The zeal for Captain, Iron Man, Hulk certainly doesn't match. So I think the most successful part of "Civil War" is the shaping of the characters.
Let's start with these "little people".
Falcon
In fact, Falcon has a lot of roles in "The Winter Soldier", and also has a cameo in "Age of Ultron", but everyone always positions him as the captain's friend, a role that does not seem to be so important. But starting from the easter eggs of "Ant-Man", we have become more and more aware of the importance of the falcon.
In the days when Bucky wasn't around, Sam was Steve's most trusted, privately closest friend. I find it hard to describe Sam's affection for Steve, from his initial admiration for Captain America to his subsequent trust in Steve Rogers, it's a very quick process. Sam reminds Steve that "he (Winter Soldier) isn't the guy you remember", Sam helps Steve find Bucky, Sam helps Steve and Bucky hold Iron Man and War Machine to stop Zemo, it's all natural . Every time the captain needs Sam, he never needs to say "Sam" to understand that Sam is also very warm standing behind Wanda to block the bullets for her during the battle with the wishbone.
Sam was also a veteran, and he'd lost someone in the war, so he understood Steve.
I understand your feelings so I trust you, I trust you so I know you are right, then I will help you without hesitation.
Scarlet Witch Vision
wants to put these two characters together and say that apart from the little ambiguity between them that makes people smile, more importantly, both of them are new to the Avengers, and both feel confused about their existence .
Compared with "Age of Ultron", the red girl after joining the Avengers is really good. From the tacit understanding between her and the captain Falcon in the battle with Uncle Fork at the beginning, we can imagine her at the headquarters of the Avengers. There must have been a lot of training, out of guilt for Sukovia or just out of kindness like Spider-Man.
Wanda was called the Scarlet Witch when she first appeared, but you look at her room in the Avengers headquarters, she is just a girl who has not grown up; seeing people fear and hate her because of the Sukovia incident Wanda is very Sad, but she tells the captain that it's okay because she really thinks it's her fault; she was so shocked and panicked when the wishbone exploded, she never wanted to hurt anyone.
In the whole movie, Vision should have the purest soul. He tried to learn to be more like a human being, wearing a sweater to cook, very close to life, making people feel that Vision is not a cold artificial intelligence or technological product, It's cute, but he doesn't know that his love for Wanda has made him a real human being.
In a way, these two are the two most lethal people in the two camps. If they want, they can even fight everyone in the other camp alone, but they don't. On the one hand, their feelings for each other prevent them from Allowing themselves to be "real", on the other hand, they also know how serious the consequences will be if their abilities are fully released.
The movie doesn't actually make much effort to describe the relationship between the two people, but a gentle "I'm sorry." and "Me too." cover all the emotions spoken and unspoken, fresh and subtle , I think they see you in my eyes.
Hawkeye
The role of Hawkeye is really easy to ignore in a group of superheroes who can fly and fight. Compared with mortals, he even lacks Natasha's beauty, but looking back you can clearly see his growth.
Personally, I think Clint is the most father-like person among all the Avengers. In "Avengers 1", the widow sister doesn't care about anything but insists on saving Clint. She said that Clint is kind to her. We used to think that the two of them should be A couple, but it's not like that in hindsight; in Sukovia he tells Wanda to be brave, and he's almost arguably Wanda's first mentor since joining the Avengers.
Clint seems to have always had a sense that seniors need to take care of juniors, to Black Widow, to Quicksilver, and to Wanda. He has his own family, wife, and children. He did not accept the decree and chose to retire, but his friends needed him, and he did not hesitate to become a "criminal" to stand up to help. Wanda's house arrest strengthened his determination to help. I think Kuaiyin's death had a great impact on Clint, which made him see the goodness of the two children, Red and Silver, and made him feel that he was more obliged to take care of Wanda after Kuaiyin's death.
In a conversation with his wife, Clint said that these superheroes are a group of children in his eyes. He unknowingly regards the Avengers as family, and makes himself an invisible barrier for them, where they have nowhere to go. Give them a place to go when they go, and give them a little help when they are alone.
So it's not hard to understand why he would accuse Tony of being a "traitor" when he was in the undersea hell. We are a family. Family members should trust each other. You don't trust us but trust the so-called decree, which is betrayal.
In contrast, Black Widow
can never be called a "little person", beauty, skill, loyalty, and many beautiful qualities. Black Widow has long been more than just a supporting role. She should be all women in the MCU The most popular of the characters, but I still feel compelled to mention her here.
Natasha in "Civil War" is not the same as before. It seems to show more of the gentle side of women, guiding Wanda, comforting the captain, condolences to T'Challa, including later questioning Tony. Natasha's role in this film is not too much, but she has restrained her anger and become calm. Saying she's a spy on the Iron Man team is an exaggeration, but I think Natasha doesn't agree with the law at heart, out of everyone she knows best what the government might do with them, but despite that, seeing her stop Black Panther I was still a little shocked and moved at the same time when the Captain and the Winter Soldier left.
I can't stand by your side as a government agent, and as a friend I know you've done nothing wrong, so I'm going to let you go.
Black Panther and Spider-Man
can see how important these two characters are from the easter eggs. If "Civil War" is the transition from the second stage to the third stage of the MCU, there is no doubt that the transition point is these two people.
It's nice that the Russo brothers are such character-building directors that they didn't let the importance of these two characters surface, and they've already started to portray Black Panther and Spider-Man.
As a student party, a civilian hero on the street, the little spider naturally worships the Avengers, and he also expresses his worship through his broken mouth, but it is gratifying that his worship is not blind, and has not changed. A fool who will do whatever his idol says, he refused to join the civil war at first, and only joined the Iron Man team after Iron Man "became abducted", despite this, he is also doing what he thinks is right, although the steel Xia did not fully tell him all the legal events.
Black Panther is also definitely a surprising existence. He doesn't care what laws he just wants to get Bucky, and he's actually been independent of the Avengers throughout, which makes him see more clearly as an outsider. From the beginning of telling Natasha that he yearns for peace, to taking off his mask, and finally to Zemo's sad decision not to be blinded by hatred, the character of Black Panther seems to have won everyone's respect easily, so it is no wonder that the captain finally Feel free to hand Bucky to him.
Zemo
Objectively speaking, Zemo is the real villain of "Civil War", but he is the most hated villain. The pain of losing his family is so profoundly portrayed by Zemo's replays over and over again, how can you blame him for wanting revenge? Zemo is not a villain. As Black Panther said, he was blinded by hatred and became cold and vicious.
Zemo is tragic and heartbreaking, and brilliant. He understands the weaknesses of human nature, and also leaves these weaknesses naked in front of the Avengers, so that they start to re-examine themselves. You are all just mortals, you are not as selfless as you think, and you will forget your original intentions for personal feelings.
Part.II
is finally about to cut to the chase, the civil war between Shieldwinter and Iron Man.
Although the movie's subtitle is "Civil War", I don't think it's technically a civil war between them until Tony knows that Howard was killed by the Winter Soldier. "Them" here doesn't just mean Iron Man and Captain, but all of the Avengers.
The Avengers are a group, and it's not surprising that there are differences of opinion between groups, and they weren't that serious at first. For example, War Machine and Captain feel that the decree needs an emergency plan, but War Machine can accept the decree but have an emergency plan, while the captain is, with an emergency plan, you can accept the decree. More like Black Widow, Falcon, Vision, they may not even have a clear idea of accepting or not accepting the decree. And this happened before the Captain knew of the Winter Soldier's whereabouts, so those "winter soldier-initiated civil wars" are completely nonsense.
I've never seen Tony look so serious from start to finish. If it was in the past, Tony probably wouldn't agree with the decree. He was obviously the most unconstrained person among the Avengers. Saying he accepted the decree to shirk his responsibilities is a bit over the top, but we all know that Wanda once gave Tony a vision of the destruction of the Avengers, and he felt it was his own fault, so he was in pain too, if there was a mechanism that could To minimize the damage he brings to the world, he is willing to accept even the sacrifice of freedom to be subject to a government he hates. Tony doesn't trust Bucky as much as Captain, so when the bombing happens he has no choice but to trust Ross (the government) while trying to convince Captain not to take a detour.
Where was Bucky when the bombing happened? A man wanted all over the world buys fruit in a Romanian vegetable market. How sarcastic it sounds, not only does it sound, it looks sarcastic. This person has quietly integrated into life. He put on gloves to hide his metal arms, put away his anger and lowered his eyebrows. He would buy a small amount of food and go back to his home alone, open his little book and look at the Write down things related to Captain America trying to recall something. He didn't know yet that he had become a target.
Having said that, the most grateful thing about Zemo is that he let Steve find Bucky, finally.
What can be clearly felt is that so many years of torture, brainwashing, and killing, did not make Bucky violent but made him quiet. In the fragment of the memory, Bucky dropped his eyes after being knocked down while training five other winter soldiers. , he is simply disgusted by these, but he is powerless. Maybe he'd given up resisting, but when he wasn't brainwashed or frozen, he was just as quiet, as gentle as Sergeant Barnes before. As for Steve, it doesn't matter whether the evaluation is objective or not. He has unconditional trust in Bucky. Bucky said that he didn't kill the old king, so Steve stopped talking and helped Bucky escape.
As long as you say it, I will believe it.
Zemo activates the Winter Soldier, which I think is a hint from the director.
Not to mention how Steve and Bucky are to each other, we know from The Winter Soldier to Civil War that while Bucky doesn't remember all of their pasts, Steve is still special to Bucky (in Zemo). During the interrogation he didn't remember his name was James but said my name was Bucky), the brainwashed Bucky would even have a psychological struggle to prevent himself from killing Steve as a mission, however, brainwashing and being activated are two different things, activated Winter Soldier Jumping into a helicopter can kill Steve without hesitation, and Steve knows that Bucky remembers himself ("If he's really that bad, it should be me, because I'm the only one who can come back alive"), no To be so cruel to himself, the moment he raised his head in the dust, his expression was unbelievable, even if he could kill himself, who would the Winter Soldier be soft on? From this moment on, Steve couldn't possibly blame Bucky for killing anyone while he was in Winter Soldier state.
Next, Steve pulled Bucky out of the water. I don't know how everyone was watching it. Anyway, I was very excited when I watched it. Thinking about the last time Bucky dragged Steve ashore, I personally think this is also a hint that they have a relationship with each other. The feelings are the same, neither of them will give up on anyone.
After that, the two camps met head-on at the airport. This was a very exciting game, although everyone did not use their full strength. After all, they are all partners and friends, who can really do it.
From the beginning to the present, the Captain faction did not want to compete with the Iron Man faction at all. Their goal was very clear, to prevent Zemo from activating other Winter Soldiers. And Tony, I think he started to reflect when he landed to check on the little spider, he started to think about what he was doing, even involving a student? Later, Roddy was seriously injured, and Falcon felt so guilty. In fact, at this time, apart from Ant-Man fainting, could Falcon, Wanda, and Hawkeye escape if they wanted to? But they didn't, not just Falcon, everyone felt guilty for Roddy's injury, which once again proved that they still regarded each other as friends rather than enemies.
In the hospital, Natasha accused Tony of being too conceited. In fact, on the contrary, I think it was Tony who was not confident enough. Like I said before, the conceited man in the past would never be bound by the law.
When he learned that the bombing was Zemo's conspiracy, Tony went to the underwater prison, and seeing the state of everyone, especially Wanda, coupled with Ross' distrust, he fully understood that he was wrong before, and the government really Not to be believed.
How good would it be if the three of Shield Tiedong joined forces to attack the other five Winter Soldiers, but the plot just didn't go that way.
As I said before, Zemo knows the weakness of human nature. He throws the mess to you to know that you will really split this time.
I felt guilt on Bucky's face when I saw the video. I felt that after being activated and brainwashed for 70 years, Bucky had given up struggling long ago, but although he wouldn't blame himself for killing those people, he never forgave him. over yourself.
Whether it's Bucky pulling the reactor or Steve pushing Tony to the ground and beating him, Dundong is undoubtedly capable of fighting Iron Man alone, but they won't, they just want to subdue Tony and let him calm down and listen to the explanation. Tony couldn't calm down at this time, and at the same time, Steve and Bucky were the tightest strings in each other's heads, which directly led to the final lose-lose situation.
There is one detail that I think is great. After Bucky's metal arm was blown off, Steve attacked Tony like crazy. We the audience watched the fight just to watch the fun, we couldn't see where the real action was, but the RDJ acted very well, and in the end When the captain raised his shield and smashed it down, he reached out to cover his head, although in the end Steve just smashed his reactor, but it showed that Steve was really deadly before, so that Tony thought for a moment. Steve would kill himself mercilessly, and how much Bucky meant to Steve was so subtly and unmistakably expressed.
It's not surprising that Steve is so angry and so crazy, Bucky is the most distressed of all. Being stripped of his freedom for 70 years, acting as a killing machine to kill in cold blood that doesn't fit his nature (Steve knows best what Bucky is), and being charged with Hydra in the end, Steve can't change him He doesn't want to change anymore. He just hopes that his new teammates can accept Bucky. As a result, Bucky's broken arm is broken again. You may have seen some explanations. Bucky's upper arm is still there, and his robotic arm is connected The upper arm is connected to the nervous system, so Bucky almost passed out when Tony smashed his upper arm. Natasha said "I said it's going to be worse", what was Steve's reaction? "He's still alive," he replies. As long as Bucky is okay, being arrested and accused of himself is nothing to Steve. How can you remain calm if you watch someone who is so important to you being treated like this by fate one after another? Certainly not.
This is the first time in the MCU that Steve is so excited.
As for Tony asking Steve to return the shield, I think it was just a whim. His reasoning was "you don't deserve it." This line is a bit of a no-brainer here. It's impossible for Steve to kill Bucky to avenge Howard. It's "worthy".
As for what some people commented on the Internet as saying that Huo Daddy is not worth it, do you really think that it was Bucky's fault that the Winter Soldier killed Howard? If so, can we assume that the Zemo family's death is Tony's fault? The command to let the vision attack was given by Roddy, so is it his own fault that Roddy is disabled? If Steve's protection of Bucky seems too childish and unselfish, why isn't Tony ruining everyone for his own hatred?
From comics to movies, Steve, Bucky, Tony, they have been made into more flesh and blood characters, they all have their own dark sides, and they all have their own shortcomings. No one is a saint, everything is for the country and the people. They also have their own emotions in life, and they will turn against their friends for their own personal grievances and grievances.
At the end, Tony received a letter from Steve. From the tone of Steve's letter, he could feel that his state of mind was very peaceful at the moment. He forgave Tony and felt sorry for Tony, but when it came to Bucky, it involved his friends who were imprisoned, Steve Never give in. Tony has calmed down after all this time, he's a smart guy and won't get into bullshit, and he's already realized how wrong it is to use laws to control everyone, so he acquiesced to Steve's jailing and leaving with Bucky.
Like the title, everyone has wounds they can't touch. Steve's wound is Bucky's, Bucky's wound is from the dark past 70 years, Tony and Zemo's wounds are deceased family members; none of them are innocent, they are all directly and indirectly Who has hurt, but you can't blame any of them.
