Both Avengers movies directed by Joss Wheddon were so campy (in an awful way), that Civil War saying people died on those films feels like a ret-con, and that's a major disadvantage Civil War suffers being a sequel to 2 poorly made comedies films.

Now, Spiderman and Antman don't know why the f*ck the fight was about., and what should have been a dramatic fight scene plays like friend playing Smash Bros. To make matters worse the trigger that causes the final Cap vs Ironman fight is not the opposing ideologies, instead is a forced plot development, which sort of just exists so the fight can happen, which majorly cheapens the whole enterprise.

Now the Spiderman / Ironman setup I utterly hate it. No w Winter Soldier being mind controlled also cheapens the character and it's motivations, as it fully reedems and absolves the character from all sins.

The villian is an improvement over previous Marvel Cinematic Universe villians, Marvel Cinematic Universe has many of the worst developed villians of all time, they might be super developed on comcs I really dont know as I dont read them, but their film counterparts are usually terribly one-dimensional, thankfully Civil War does better, Also why title the film Civil War othe than marketing purposes, if there's no war at all and also no one dies? Bring back Jhon Favrea.
