In my anticipation to see Captain America's
Civil War I bring you guys my Top Ten defender of the United State of America
that use the Red , White and Blue:
·
10 Punisher: I've never liked
this character much, I have issues with guns, but I loved his characterization
during the Civil War that show how much he really admire Captain America, and
Steve just punches the hell out of him because he kill two criminals in cold
blood even though they had join the anti-registration, and Frank Castel doesn't
do anything to defend himself, that freaking respect. So after Cap's death he
take up a Red, White and Blue Costume during a short time.

9 Nuke: This villain sort of
represent everything that's wrong with the USA's heavy handed interventions
during the cold world, he's a nationalistic fanatic that is hell bent on
finishing his mission. He sort off represents every negative American stereotype you can
find and multiplied by ten.

8 Jack Flag: This totally forgettable
character from the 90's, has a interesting evolution in a series of crazy
events where he ends up fighting side by
side with the Guardian of the Galaxy.

7 Patriot: Grandson of first African
American Captain America, he was part of the young Avengers, and he had some
issue: like fighting and representing a country that treated his people so badly,
but over time he learned that Patriotism looks beyond the sins of his counties
past.

6 Us Agent: Like Nuke he is
characterized with all the negative stereotypes you can think of for an American, but unlike Nuke he's a honorable
and noble person at heart, and he normally take the right decisions.

5 Major Victory is a time
displaced hero that was called Justice that was a member of the New Warriors
and latter a Avenger, that in the far future he somehow end up with Cap's
Shield and part of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

4 Bucky Cap. When Cap died
after the Civil War his old sidekick respects Steve's wishes and becomes the
next Captain America, but he doesn't have so many moral restraints as the old
Cap and he's trying to deal with all the messed up stuff that he did while he was Winter Soldier.

3 Falcon Cap: I love Sam Wilson,
as Cap I hope he keeps the Shield for a while he has potential for bringing in
new and interesting stories to the title. No it would be even cooler that after Sam Wilson a person of
Hispanic decent get to use the Shield, being the fact they will be the first minority
in the country.

2 Ultimate Captain America:
This alternate version of Cap, looks like a real bad ass, and his image spilled
over into marvel movie universe and latter into marvel normal 616 continuity.

1 New Captain America: Good old
classic Steve Rogers is a fantastic character, I love the inner conflict that
this character has when he must deal
with moral issues, his new suit reminds of a old school classic character
called the blue Shield.
Captain America: Civil War
Directed by the Russo Brothers
The Worlds governments want to hold the Avengers accountable for their actions, there is too much collateral damage
when the try to save the day, now without spoiling to much from the plot which
is pretty entertaining, things go really bad on a mission that leads the worlds
governments to draft the Sokovia Accords, to keep the heroes in check, the
equivalent to the original comics Registration and Initiative act, and in this case the Avengers action must be
sanctioned by the UN, so basically Captain America refuses to singe and become part
of this initiative, arguing that governments sometime have their own agendas
not caring for their respective population and that politics would can get in
the way of the Avengers from saving the world, while Tony Stark / Iron Man, for
many valid reasons, falls in line with the US government that wants the
Avengers to controlled. So a rift is
formed in the Avenger, the ones that view things like Captain America and others
that think that Tony is right. I won't go deeper into the plot but there are many
spoilers ahead in this post:
Characters:
Heroes: This movie makes it hard to establish a 100%
who is right, and in the battle between
the Avengers no one truly has a fall from grace becoming a straight up Villain,
it actually better handled than in the comics at moment where Tony comes off
like an ass hole in the whole arc.
Team Captain America:
Captain America (Chris Evans): We know that Chris can
plays a perfect Captain America, so I don't have too much to say in this department,
just give the dude 6 more movies as the Cap.
Bucky /Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan): At moments
this movie reminded me of the Jason Bourne series, and Bucky is basically a the Manchurian candidate from hell that has
but has really bad luck, but you really feel for the guy and how life gave him
a really bad deck of cards.
Falcon (Anthony Mackie): Before I was saw this movie I
viewed a couple of reviews and everyone talks about how bad ass Spidy or Black
Panther are, but I also enjoyed how Falcon is depicted in the movie he's much
more interesting than he is as Falcon in the comics, loved red wing.
Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner): Hawkeye is my favorite
Avenger and the movie does him justice, the dude that fights impossible odds
with no powers.
Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen): The Russian Jean Grey does better job in this
movie, but she still hasn't won me over.
Ant-man (Paul Rudd): Ant-man is a true high light in
the movie, and the director really takes advantage of his full power set. Can't
wait until Ant-man two.
Sharon Carter (Emily van Camp): Cap's love interest,
she has a knack in solving Steve's problems every time, mehhhh.
Team Ironman:
Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.): Robert Downey acting performance
is probably the best in the movie he
goes from heartbroken friend, to dude hell bent on vengeance pretty fast but he
pulls it off so well that it works.
Black Widow (Scarlet Johansson): The character has an
important role in the movie, but she isn't as interesting as she was in Winter
Soldier.
War Machine (Don Cheadle): This is probably the first
time we see War Machine just letting loose and it was freaking cool, plus the
character sort of plays the role of Black Golaith from the original crossover,
even though he doesn't die.
Black Panther ( Chadwick Boseman): I've been a Black
Panther fan for a long time and I understand the potential that this character
has for the marvel movie universe, now in this movie he kicks ass even though
he's on team Stark, but he has his own agenda and he's like a unstoppable force.
Vision (Paul Bettany): We get to see more of Visions
powers and we discover that his GEM actually gave Scarlet Witch her powers.
Spider-man (Tom Holland): The kid is the best Spidy
ever nuff said, thank you marvel for getting it right.
Antagonist:
Thunderbolt Ross ( William Hurt): Everyone's favorite
pain the ass, I love to hate this character he should have had more screen
time.
Villains:
·
Crossbone (Frank Grillo): This villain comes across
as a much better bad guy than Zemo, and he gives Cap a run for his money.
·
Zemo ( Daniel Bruhl): The only complaint that I
heard about the movie that I've heard on a general level is that this characters
plans are just too complicated, and they
are, but if you ever read a story with Helmut Zemo his evil planes are always
incredibly complicated, check out what he does on the second volume of the
Thunderbolts, you always have to reread what happens because you get lost
jajajaja. So the dude cann't make a simple vengeance plan, so they respected
the comic but they should have made him use the purple mask, its cheesy but
emblematic.
Supporting Cast:
·
Howard Stark
·
Evertt K. Ross: This character will probably find
his way into the Black Panther Movie.
·
May Parker: Bold choice for a younger May, good
move for the Russo Brothers
Issue Summary:
Repercussions and Lasting effects:
·
What will happen to the
Avengers?
·
What will to Cap's Shield?
·
Get Ready for a Black Panther
and Spider-man movie.
The Bad:
· No purple Zemo mask ¿why?
· shaky came at the begging.
The Good:
·
The best super hero battle and
action in general that I have ever seen.
·
It actually hard to choose a
sides because interestingly both bring valid arguments to the table, even
Thunderbolt Ross. You sort of flip flop on who side you are on at moments.
·
The dialogs have a good balance
between serious, too freaking funny. The dialogs between Cap and Tony are just
fantastic, they really hit home.
·
Did I mention the best
Spider-man interpretation ever.
·
Big cliff hanger, ¿what will
happen to the Avengers?
·
It makes Age of Ultron more
relevant, establishing the equivalent of the Stanford explosion in the original
arc.
