Why I Am Inclined To Watch The 'Civil War'

A few reasons why 'Captain America: Civil War' has been on my radar

Why I Am Inclined To Watch The 'Civil War'

I have always been more of a DC person. Batman is the way to go. Every time. But I love movies, and even though I am not at all involved in the comic universe for Marvel, I have enjoyed their cinematic universe. Of course, there have been some downs, yes I am pointing towards “Captain America: The First Avenger” and “Iron Man 3.”

When I saw the first trailer for “Captain America: Civil War”, it was okay. I never focused on it too much. The idea was not exactly new, because this movie has been in a buzz alongside “Batman V Superman” which runs along the same lines. Two loved superheroes fighting for what they believe is right.

I do have to agree that with every passing trailer, teaser, poster, my interest grew so much that I had started getting excited for it. However, there are some particular aspects of the movie that make it absolute certain for me to watch it.

In the following points, I will be addressing the characteristics of the movie that make me super excited for it.

The CGI is pretty sick

CGI is so common now a day, that it is difficult to differentiate if it is good or not. And there are actually very few movies that are able to take it to another level. This movie does that. When I saw the trailers I was instantly hooked, because even though we have seen such amazing CGI effects (Avatar and even Jurassic Park/World), Civil War brings whole new effects to the table. In specific, I am a big fan of the scene where Tony Stark puts on his suit hand just by extending it from his wrist. It was really amazing.

The suits

Following up on Tony Stark extending his robo-arm, this movie’s costumes have been taken to another level. Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, all the side-kicks, have not disappointed. I am surprised by how functional and realistic these suits have become. I am definitely impressed with Falcon’s suit this time. The wings are much better, better designed, and smooth from the last time he was on screen. But, for me the character suit that stole the show was Black Panther. Wow. It is incredible. It is some legit shit. The mask itself is so expressive. It is so clear that he only means business, and is here to make a mark. I am already so excited for his very own film. And since I do have a favorite (Black Panther), I do also have doubts about our friendly neighborhood superhero. It’s not bad, but I just don’t know how to react to it. The first appearance of spider-man in the trailer made him look entirely out of CGI. Like, the actor was not there at all. Not even on the car going, “Hey guys!” in his Justin Bieber voice. I don’t know, I still have to watch the movie, let’s hope he doesn’t bring the momentum down.

Trailer was on point

Now, this is something very important. This was a huge problem with Batman V Superman. They gave almost everything away in the trailer. Civil War was really careful about this, and that is brilliant. I am aware of the premise, but I don’t know what happens. And that is how it should be. You should not show the ultimate funky looking rabbit you have in your hat. Yes, Zack Snyder, you should have let Doomsday be a surprise. But returning to Civil War, the team behind it has handled the trailers perfectly and have given only things that tease well. BvS was more like Kim Kardashian on Instagram, and Civil War is Kelly Brooke anywhere. You gotta keep that tease in check.

So, these are some reasons why I will absolutely watch Captain America: Civil War. There are some others as well, such as Black Panther and his entire story. I am really excited to see what this character brings to the already established MCU. It’s difficult to step out when you have Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans in a movie, but the actor and writers have managed to explode him.

And of course Scarlett Johansson. I mean how could I even skip.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
