The much anticipated Captain America: Civil War is now showing in cinemas. Marvel fans are very ecstatic about this movie and if you're like me, you have already watched all of the recent Marvel movies leading up to this one. But some of you haven't. So here's a list of the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies pertaining to the Avengers franchise that you should see before Civil War, or even if you just want to have a Marvel marathon. Instead of going in chronological order, I'll be going in the official order that Marvel wants the movies to be watched in.
Captain America: The First Avenger
Iron Man
Iron Man 2
The Incredible Hulk
Thor
The Avengers
Iron Man 3
Thor: The Dark World
Captain America: The Winter Solider
Guardians of the Galaxy
Avengers: Age of Ultron
Ant-Man
Captain America: Civil War
The whole concept of
Captain America: Civil War is an interesting one to begin with. The Avengers are fighting among themselves instead of fighting an external enemy like they usually do. But they did it so well. We get to see what some of what the older classic Avengers could do as well as some of the newer characters that they put in this film, such as Black Panther, Ant-Man and a revamped Spider-Man. Some may say that the two sides, Team Iron Man and Team Captain America, seemed unequal. Iron Man had War Machine, Black Widow, Black Panther, The Vision, and Spider-Man on his team, while Captain America was working with Hawkeye, Sharon Carter, Falcon, Bucky Barnes, Ant-Man, and the Scarlet Witch. Now I am hands down Team Captain America and I chose that side before I even knew who was on his team. However, a lot of my friends say they're on Team Iron Man because of the superheroes he has; take the intriguing Black Panther and the powerful Vision for example. But we cannot discount the Scarlet Witch whose powers are amazing and not very well explained in the movies. I can't really say what I expected from the movies because since I've actually watched it, I don't want to give any spoilers. All I can say is that the movie was well developed and the action scenes were on point. Overall though,
Civil War is one of Marvel's best movies to date and it is definitely a must see.
