Can we take a minute to talk about the masterpiece that is Captain America: Civil War? Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard all about it. Tony Stark, distraught over the innocent lives lost to his invention, Ultron, believes the only way to prevent more innocent people from dying is to work with the government. Steve Rogers,the embodiment of American ideals, refuses to side with restrictions that could take away the ability to save people. Arguments ensue, fighting happens, and hearts are broken; I cried more at this movie than I did from my first break-up.

In all honesty, this movie is probably the best thing that has ever happened to me. As a person who has sold her soul to all things Captain America, I knew this movie would change my life. Watching Steve Rogers stand up for what he believed in reminded me all too much of the kid from Brooklyn who lied on his enlistment form. Point blank, Steve Rogers is a hero who will do anything to protect America, even if it does mean becoming a wanted vigilante.

Steve "I can do this all day" Rogers

My favorite part of this movie was, of course, Bucky Barnes. While The Winter Soldier was amazing and one of my favorite movies in existence, that movie does nothing more than introduce Buck as TWS and show Steve's remorse. Watching Bucky come back to being Bucky was a life changing experience. The moments Steve and Buck share in this movie are so sweet and beautiful. Bucky literally carries around a picture of Steve in his journal, aka they're total boyfriends. Steve and Bucky fighting side by side, using Steve's shield, is what I was born for. Seeing Bucky laugh, bond with Sam, and joke about his age are refreshing changes from the prisoner of Hydra he was. It's just so great to see Bucky become a person again. Seeing people interact with him and treat him with respect are what made this movie so great.

Boyfriends Steve and Bucky


Oh look, boyfriends tearing Tony apart


Rip me to pieces

Although I could literally spend my entire life talking about Steve and Bucky and how they are honestly dating each other, there was one thing that pissed me off for the entirety of this movie; Secretary of State Thaddeus Ross and his support of the Sokovia Accords. It was so annoying to hear "you know, it's your fault all these innocent lives are being ended." Like yes, innocent deaths are awful, but more people would have died if the Avengers hadn't stepped in? They were constantly talking about Wanda and how she was a danger to society, despite the fact that by taking Brock's bomb and killing twelve people, she saved a hundred others. Even more annoying was Tony's support when he knew he was wrong.

Steve I am right bc I know everything

In summary, through the good and bad, if you haven't seen Civil War yet, I honestly have no idea what you're doing with your life.
