Re: Captain America: Civil War
Your movie has the same problem as the comic book event did.
You insist that both sides are equally right. That there is no right answer to whatever the question will be, but two are given and we, the audience, are supposed to decide which of our heroes are correct.
I'm here to tell you that once you put Captain America on a side, you have your right answer. We all have the right answer.
The movies, since Captain America: The First Avenger, have been building Captain America as the American ideal. Not because of his super-strength and mighty shield, but because he's brave and spunky and relentless and eager to do what's right even before he's shot up with an ex-Nazi's magic juice. He tried to enlist a half-dozen times. He jumped on the grenade when everyone else ran. His first thought was to rescue the kid who could swim. He happily served in an integrated Army. Time and again, in the movies he's been shown to be morally right. The moral choice for America.
If Captain America is the physical representation of America's morality, how can Iron Man also be right?
Also, if the movie ends like the comic did, please do this for the next Avengers movie:
