Gladiator matches are one thing. Wars amongst friends are another entirely.
Soon after "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" takes theaters by storm, we'll be graced with the long awaited, "Captain America: Civil War."
In one of the biggest superhero years on history, "Captain America: Civil War" seems to be the one that everyone is looking forward to, and thanks to the scarcity of trailers for it, all we've had to go off of is hype. Batman fighting Superman has been universally known as a battle we all want to see. But Captain America fighting Iron Man? Did Tony curse again?
Which begs the question, "Why the heck are these two going to war with each other?" As the trailers show, they need to be put in check with all the destruction that's been caused by their actions. The Superhuman Registration Act is supposed to just that, as enacted by everyone's least favorite war hero, General Ross.
Tony Stark is game for whatever it takes to stop the chaos. Which, apparently in the trailer, involves turning the other cheek if a crime is about to take place. "I'm sorry, Tony. If I see a situation pointed south, I can't ignore it. Sometimes I wish I could."
The trailers heavily point to the emotional fights that will ensue between Captain America and Iron Man. I mean come on, who else isn't going to get emotionally involved in this scene?
For those who don't want spoilers, stop now. I'm not going to spell out the nitty gritty, but one reason I'm expecting to have every guy I go with to bring tissue boxes is because of the Crossbones character.
At the end of "Captain America: Winter Soldier," we saw Brock Rumlow's character nearly burnt to a crisp, and anyone who's read the comics knows he becomes Crossbones.
There's also another factor at play that producers will not confirm or deny for the movie: death. The beatdowns at the end of both trailer strongly hint at the possibility of death in the movie. For those who read the comics, you know what I'm talking about.
I asked fellow Fresnan and Marvel Enthusiast, Garon Skinner, about his assumption from the trailers, "I think that Vision or Captain America will die in the movie. In the comics, while the movies have strayed away a tad from the comics, Vision was created by Ultron and has a brief time where he's actually a pawn under Ultron's control. They didn't do that in "Age of Ultron." I think there's gonna be a turn of events that will cause certain characters to switch sides."
He went on to say, "If Captain America does die, that'll be the last straw for Tony. Especially if it is Crossbones that kills him, although I don't think they'll do that because Captain America has become such necessary asset not only to the teams, but to the fans."
There won't be words if that actually happens. I mean I almost walked out of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" when (spoiler ahead) Han Solo died. I don't know how or why they would, but if they did get rid of Captain America, I'll be sobbing.
Prepare for possibly the most emotional movie you'll watch this year.
