Seriously, it made our audience laugh. Every time.

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?

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!")

In the Civil War comics, the quote that Sharon attributes to Peggy is actually something Cap says to Spider-Man. [link] But I immediately made it headcanon that Steve got the quote from Peggy.

OH MY GOD. Sam and Bucky in the car watching Steve mack on Sharon. BEST SCENE. (Or maybe second best, behind "Can you move your seat up?" "No.")

And who the hell does Zemo remind me of? I guess I can just check his IMDB page, but I don't think it's another actor/character.
