The Civil War article was dumb. Firstly, the premise of the Cap movie can only be loosely based on the comic.

So pointing to the source material and suggest it's flaws - actual or perceived - will somehow sink the movie is highly speculative. Secondly, the flaws indicated in the source material are indeed perceived and not actual. I won't get into it other than to say that Stark and Reed Richards both have a dark side that leads to their actions and Cap's intentions, on its surface, may look like an attempt to carry on busting heads outside of any kind of regulation, but indeed he sees the registration act as an extension of what has gone before - Nazi holocaust, mutant registration - and what can come in the future - internment, weaponization, militarization.

Responses:

I expect the movie (though I'm less sure after Avengers 2) that the set up and conflict will be true to the characters and consistent with the themes - TWuG Sep 2, 20:42 9
- Sounds like the Stamford incident or something like it will occur on AoS -- nm - eag Sep 2, 20:50 7
  - You'd think Stark building Ultron would be enough to cause a split. -- nm - Mop Sep 2, 21:28
  - That makes sense. AoS has done a good job of supporting the MCU - TWuG Sep 2, 20:56 5
    - I doubt it - eag Sep 2, 21:16 4
      - Note that Bobbi/Mockingbird is on the Civil War poster. -- nm - Mop Sep 2, 21:36 3
        
        Not her - eag Sep 2, 21:38 2
        
        Oh, I guess you're right. -- nm - Mop Sep 2, 21:42 1
        
        Though if 2 AoS were to cross over to the movies other than Coulson again - eag Sep 2, 21:45
- There were major flaws in the Civil War comics. But Stark vs Rogers made sense. -- nm - Mop Sep 2, 20:45
