Captain America and Civil War:

Captain America and Civil War:

So, as most of you know, 2016 is the year of the superhero flicks. Of Course, no film has garnered as much inter web status as recently as Captain America: Civil War. Yes, Marvel’s… I mean Disneys (same difference) trophy superhero franchise outside of the X-Men universe and recently acquired and acclaimed Star Wars.

Fan Boys (And me to some extent): “ERRRR MAH GEEERD! CIVIIIL WAAAAR”
But yes in the midst of all the cool CG, Trailer Cameos , Yes I’m looking at You Peter Parker, and the cool 90s action flick punchlines in the midst of a dysfunctional romance. If you are a serious comic book nerd and generally, to keyword GENERALLY, take issue with films not adhering to the canon Material then before you continue to eagerly convulse (whether it be because of the appearance of someone like Black Panther or because you think Chris Evans looks yummy in his spandex tights… or whatever they make superhero outfits out of… I Think its UnderArmor…  HAHAHAHA #ProductPlacementBrandingReference #IseeYou) I have taken it upon myself with my own knowledge as well as this concise article by screen rant (see link below) you are able to see what i consider are the main discrepancies between the two(Mainly because highlighting all would be too long):

  1. Inciting Premise: The incident which incites the premise, in the comic some pretty lame superheroes end up facing a much higher level hero and as such collateral damage happens which “DUN DUN DUN” causes a proper training program to ensue because of public opinion, what we know of the movie is that, yes because the movies are tied together, apparently due to the repercussions of the last 2 Avengers movies, higher accountability is needed. But, guess what in both, some heres agree some don’t. You would think there would be something called a vote to take place or some sort of superhero management as it is an organization but oh well the plot must continue…

  2. Bromance: Is it sad, i think Captain America is a lame hero, pushing these American ideals, which have been proven fallible, to the rest of the world. Come on, 20 years ago maybe, now we see too much on social media, yet, I digress. So in the comic , Caps main beef is that there needs to be adherence to a superhero registry which would mean his secret identity would be revealed. #SarcasticFaceEmoji. However in the movie Cap basically has beef with the fact that they basically try to pin crimes on his friend Bucky #SarcasticFaceEmojiAgain

    Spiderman: Though This one isn’t as pertinent, because things like the roster and who’s here and on which side is more important and who’s film franchise is blocked by distributors and which film is being made which decides who appears and who doesn’t is WAAAAAAY more important (e.g. Fantastic 4, Thor, Hulk, Thors Clone and the majority of the marvel Roster) But, because this was the major scream factor for many fans was the resurgence of the new iteration of Spidey for this film. Now in the comics, Spidey gets on Starks side because of his new suit etc and even goes as far as to reveal his identity for good faith in the administration and eventually goes over to Caps side after a whole heap of events. Where he stands in the movie or if he even picks a side (as they forced Black Panther in this film, because in the comics he kept his nation out of it and remained neutral, same goes for Black widow but i digress again). Basically, spideys’ fate is bound to be much different from the source material, but i like the rest of you guys await to see what happens.
