GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Finally saw Civil War today.
Overall, I was really satisfied with the movie. I don't think anyone really got short shrift and they did a fantastic job of introducing us to T'chala and their version of Spider-man (and holy crap am I looking forward to Marvel's Spider-man movie. Strangely young and hot Aunt May aside, I was sitting there the entire time he was on the screen going "That's my Spidey!".)
I assumed the stuff Bucky took from the Stark's car was the Super Soldier serum. They said in TFA it would take decades to re-create the serum. 45ish years later sounds about right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aunt May is only surprisingly young and hot for Aunt May, not for the aunt of a current-day teenager, really.

True. And that's pretty much what I meant. I know Ben and May have historically been portrayed as much older than one would expect, given Peter's age.
On another note, regarding what Steve knew about the death of the Starks, I could have sworn he said something along the lines of "Yes, but I didn't know it was him."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
He did say that, and then Tony told him not to lie.
Consensus seems to be that it wasn't an outright lie, but he knew that Bucky had been involved in lots of stuff like that, and just didn't want to think about it.

Also, women used to look a lot older a lot younger. Which I know from my extensive watching of old game shows!

Also, Aunt May may have been several years younger than her brother/sister who was Peter's parent.
I have a romance novel from the late '70s where the 35-year-old heroine is bemoaning her middle-aged frumpiness.

Again, I didn't mean "There's not way she could be his aunt!" but rather she's much younger than Aunt May has traditionally been presented as. My youngest aunt is only 13 years older than I am, and one of my cousins has an uncle who is the same age as him. Family dynamics allow for a lot of variables.

Okay. I apparently missed that line. Put me on the side of those that believe Steve would never have lied intentionally. Though it's entirely possible he suspected but didn't want to believe it.

I think it's more a matter of suspected and didn't go looking for confirmation.

When it comes to Bucky, I can see Steve very guiltily performing a lie of omission. Because it's not like it's a question that should ever come up.
