Let’s Be Honest: Captain America: Civil War Is Overrated

When Captain America: Civil War first came out, it felt like everything that we hoped for from a comic book movie. From Spider-Man finally joining the MCU to Black Panther's incredible debut, it was an ensemble film that defied the odds and left us happy once the credits rolled.

The Locations Are All Over The Place

One of the biggest weaknesses of Avengers: Age of Ultron was how it hopped between scenes at a frantic pace, making the film quite choppy and difficult to follow at times. Captain America: Civil War is guilty of exactly the same thing, switching between locations as if Nightcrawler transported us all in one bamf! Seriously, if you manage to travel as fast the Avengers do, please do share your tips and secrets with us. We’re tired of waiting for planes and buses, and having to book a couple extra days purely for traveling.

There’s one particular instance where Cap is at Peggy Carter’s funeral in London, then King T’Chaka of Wakanda is killed in Vienna, and Cap suddenly rocks up there out of nowhere. Afterwards, there’s a trip to Bucharest, then everyone’s suddenly back in the States. Do you see the point we’re making? It’s pretty much all over the place and difficult to follow.

We all love a good globetrotting adventure, and it’s great to see stories taking place outside of the States, but some logic still needs to be applied here. No one was teleporting and they still required transport to get to places, so it’s hard to believe they could magically turn up in one place and then appear somewhere else in a jiffy.
