This is about Captain America

The fight is incredible. I really can’t tell you how epic it is. Ever since the trailer for Captain America: Civil War teased the Avengers going head-to-head, I’ve been waiting to see that showdown in all its glory, and it did not disappoint. But that’s not why I’m still thinking about the movie weeks later. Marvel upping its game with almost every new release, but there comes a point where you have

to wonder, how long can it last? You can only have so many bigger and better explosions and fights before your audience loses interest (*cough* Age of Ultron *cough*), which is why Civil War is even more impressive. The action and humour is what I know and love, but there was something else that made this movie stand out. Something, distinctly not superhero-y. Something more, dare I say it, heartfelt.

In the end, I expected the Avengers to get back together. Everyone said so. Everyone asked, what would unite them? Instead, the biggest surprise for me was that they don’t kiss and make up. While they don’t exactly end the movie ready kill each other, the relationships they’ve built over the last few movies are pretty broken, if not completely destroyed, and I get it. Punch a superhero in the face multiple times and he’ll get back up, but break his trust in you and there’s no coming back from that.

The reason this Marvel movie stands out for me, is because you can take away all the flying suits, the indestructible shields, the badass fights and the epic explosions, and you will still be left staring open mouthed at the screen wondering how the hell the Avengers are going to come back from this. Seriously, does anyone have an idea because it would really put my mind at ease?
