Okay, on Civil War, just in general: WHY did the location titles need to be SO HUGE MY GOD IT'S BERLIN NOW I SEE IT BERLIN???
(That's not even really spoilery, but whatever.) (But my question still stands.)
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
At a Q&A, someone should ask the Russos that.

Seriously, it made our audience laugh. Every time.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I thought the same thing! We can't see Berlin for BERLIN
Someone needs to talk to me about Tony's questionable choice re bringing a 16 year old into a possilbly fatal battle. How many people will kick his butt when they find out just how young he is? Is this as bad as I think it is?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
An excellent and fair question.
I have to say I'm not opposed to the new guys (I mean, T'challa is clearly the best, and Spider Boy was cute and funny ), but could we please get some more women in this thing?

I also wouldn't mind further acknowledgement that not everyone in the world is either black or white.
ION, Bucky makes me so sad.

Apparently having Asian characters is a big no-no for the MCU based on what the screenwriter for Dr. Strange was spewing. Well, unless they're someone's houseboy, I guess.

Yeah.... That train of thought really started with the Dr Strange trailer.

Oh hey, Steph et al. -- what was "the thing"? And did they do it?

I don't get how Age of Ultron couldn't handle a large cast, but Civil War was all "Here, have T'Challa! Ant-Man? Why not? Hey, let's have some Spider-Man, too!" and it worked just fine. (Though, to be totally fair, I think the film didn't *need* T'Challa, Ant-Man, Spidey, or Hawkguy. But they didn't bloat it or slow it down.)
Though yes, damn it, if you're going to give us more existing characters, Carol Danvers would be nice, you jerks.
Man, this whole movie was basically Broken People Make Questionable Choices and Shit Goes Boom, wasn't it? Not in a bad way, and I like my characters to have depth, but Tony and Steve are so fucked up.
I should have known we were getting more Maria Stark as soon as we got the flashback scene at MIT, and yet I didn't see the footage of her death coming. (And wow, I totally forgot what RDJ looked like when he was young. Super pretty.)
It goes without saying that I'm SO RELIEVED they didn't kill Steve. [edit: Jesse, that was The Thing. Cap is killed in the comics storyline of Civil War.] I was all set for it, and as the movie progressed, I was thinking, "Well, everyone wants to kill Bucky, so I can't see how he'll be the next Cap. I guess it'll be Sam?" Literally, when the end credits started, I let out this huge breath and said "Oh thank GOD." (Also "West Coast Avengers!")
