    Oh oh oh, and don't forget how the X-Men just plain couldn't appear in Civil War, because their entire run and a large number of their story arcs has presented government-mandated control or oversight as the beginning of the genocide of all mutants.

    I liked the part where mister fantastic looks into an alternate timeline where alternate timeline cap kissed alternate timeline tony and the civil war never happened. Just massive sexual tension.

    That's true that part was good.

    However, what else was not good: Do you know what was happening elsewhere in the universe at the same time as Civil War? Annihilation. What happened in Annihilation, for the uninitiated? Well, Annihilus killed the ENTIRE Nova Corps except for Nova himself, made himself immortal, and led an army from the Negative Zone to wipe out everything in the galaxy. Do you know how big a threat this was? Annihilus was such a massive threat that it forced the Guardians of the Galaxy, Nova, Super Skrull, Ronan the Accuser, and smurfing Galactus to work together. So yeah, it got a Kree and Skrull to co-operate and Galactus to put aside his usual goals for a minute. That's what the rest of the galaxy was up to while Iron Man and Tony Stark were failing to discuss any sort of reasonable compromises or sensible implementations of the Registration Act.

    Bunch of negative nancies in here!

    The Captain America films have risen to unprecedented success with Winter Soldier being the #2 film for 2014 only behind Guardians of the Galaxy, not to mention the outrageous success of The Avengers films. This is only the beginning of the Civil War storyline, it's obvious that this story will later bleed into The Avengers and I can almost certainly guarantee it will be our third Avengers film several years down the line, which means Joss Whedon will be directing it, and everything Joss Whedon touches turns to pure gold. Additionally, there's no possible way to include all of the happenings that go on in Civil War because there would be way too little screen-time for far too many superheroes, so it's a safe assumption to say that they will include only the most pertinent events to the storyline in order to eliminate plotholes and waste.

    so how's about you settle down nerds and enjoy some more superhero films because this is a fantastic dilemma to pit heroes and comrades against in a continuing series of integrated storylines and it would be excellent for the silver screen

    I do hope the filmed version does better (and it could hardly be worse) because if it was handled right it would be a great premise. But it was handled terribly and matched by, what, One More Day, and that's about it, for recent Marvel smurfups?

    Also I've not said word one about any of the Marvel Universe movies, nerd.

    Nerd rage is the most amusing rage.

    I will admit I'm being unfair towards Joe Quesada though.

    Mark Millar has plenty of smurfing blame to accept for this debacle.

    Oh oh oh! I just remembered something else!

    Everyone got mad at super heroes because a super villain blew up a school.

    That's like demanding SWAT teams be disarmed because Adam Lanza shot up a school.

    Also, on recruiting Norman Osborn and Venom et al, you are correct. Saying "these known villains and terrorists will sign and support our bill so let's pardon them and sic them on all of the goodwilled superheroes who refuse to also sign even though they have saved our asses countless times before from said superheroes" does not make a whole lot of sense.

    Hey remember that time Kang blew up D.C. and enslaved the planet and nobody demanded a Super Registration Act? That happened just two years before Civil War. Supers failed to stop him at first, and the damage was enormously greater than Stamford in Civil War, but nobody demanded registration then.

    How strict have the past movies been in lines with the comic book stories?

    not very.

    So you're dislike of the comic book storyline probably wont translate to the movie.

    It will be an awesome storyline for a movie

    I still think they should drop the story and just have two and a half hours of a Cap vs. Iron Man vs. Thor vs. Hulk free-for-all.

    For the record, I'm okay with this turning into a bitch about Marvel plotholes thread, but I'm not sure that's what LWL intended it to be xD
