  1. Just going on record here to say that I believe the Sharon Carter depicted in Falcon and Winter Soldier is our introduction to the evil Skrull faction that we'll see play out in Secret Invasion.
  2. Now that the website is back up, I can post this. Watched Civil War yesterday. Main verdict is that it's not knocking Winter Soldier out of my #1 spot. That said, the plot certainly had a Winter Soldier vibe to it. It's a darker storyline with some unexpected twists. The beginning feels a little slow after the opening scene. The action in that is really good, even though I feel as if they wasted Crossbones. After that, it feels to me as if it drags for a while. More or less until the next action scene. It just doesn't have the energy of Winter Soldier. Falcon's action scenes are superb. The use of his new wings and tech really makes him dynamic and fun to watch. Of course, Anthony Mackie delivers his lines with panache, same as he did in Winter Soldier. The stairwell scene is awesome. So is the tunnel chase. Black Panther is great. His accent, body language, and demeanor are perfect. Chadwick sells it big time. Ant-Man is a great addition. Paul Rudd is killing it, and the twist in the airport scene with him is awesomesauce. Looking forward to Ant-Man & the Wasp. I'm still not ready to call Holland the best Peter Parker and best Spider-Man, even though he gets an unexpected amount of screen time in this to establish the character. He's good as both, but I still need to see a movie centering on him before I'll make that call. He's got great lines ( beyond the ones shown in the trailers ) and looks awesome. One thing I will say for certain is that I like him better than Garfield in both parts. I really didn't like the ( now middle ) reboot. We'll see if he edges out Toby. Seeing Vision in street clothes was just weird. I get where they're going, trying to add a little fan service suggesting the comic romance between him and Scarlet Witch, but I don't think they really sold it. It's so lightly suggested that I don't even consider it a spoiler. They're the most underwhelming characters to me. Further viewings may change my mind as I catch other nuances, but the first impression is meh... Hawkeye was fun, and his comic persona comes through more here, as it did in AoU. Getting to see the arrow-riding scene made it worth him being in there, although it almost feels as if he was in there exclusively for that purpose. Rhodey's plot point is what bumps him up a notch. Naturally, I won't spoil that. Black Widow's fighting is naturally awesome. Her place in the film is exactly what you would expect it to be, considering her character. The last third is easily as good as Winter Soldier. It's fast paced and gut-punching. Zemo is a decent villain. He has a fair back story, his evil plan is convoluted, and it gives that mastermind feel. Thunderbolt Ross maintains his black-ops feel from Hulk, but tempered by someone who's been promoted to a suit. I think he did quite well. Wakanda looks great in the end. They didn't sell me on Sharon Carter. What's going on with her feels even more fan-servicey than the romance between Vision and Scarlet Witch. Freeman didn't have much to do here. What I hear is that they're establishing him for Black Panther. I barely noticed him, honestly. Evans and RDJ kill it, of course. To me, this is somewhere around AoU, so far as how much I like it. It's not at the top with Winter Soldier, Guardians, Deadpool, the first Avengers, the first Iron Man, etc. It's well worth the watch for the action alone, but it just isn't as fast-paced as Winter Soldier, keeping up the energy from start to finish. I'll probably go back for a second viewing next Friday. We'll see if I add to this.
