- In honor of Marvel's Captain Marvel hitting theaters soon, let's jump back in time and take a closer look at one of the best MCU films to date, Captain America: Civil War, in order to find out what makes it so great. And the best way to see what makes this versus movie work is to compare it with another superhero versus movie that sadly isn't so great, Batman v Superman.

I heard there's some controversy going around with Brie Larson, and while Captain Marvel isn't the most recognizable comic book hero, we all probably have to see it regardless, since it releases just before Avengers Endgame. Interesting to see how Tony Stark Iron Man and Steve Rogers Captain America will revert Thanos' snap and bring back the fallen heroes from Avengers infinity war. Maybe it has something to do with Ant-Man, who knows. Wonder if we'll see some bigger new MCU villain like Galactus, or if the X-men will factor in in any way. Also, I haven't seen Aquaman yet but will do a vid once it comes out on digital and blu-ray. We'll see what happens with Shazam. I've lost a lot of interest for DC after Justice League but hopefully they can pull me back in, at the very least with Matt Reeves' The Batman.

Captain America: Civil War
In this superhero epic, the denizens of the Marvel Universe are forced to pick sides when Captain America (Chris Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) come to blows over ideological differences. After a mission involving a new Avengers squad led by Cap ends with several civilian casualties in Lagos, the team are asked to sign an agreement that would force them to take orders from a United Nations panel. Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) pressures Cap to accept this new arrangement, in part because he feels deeply guilty about his own past recklessness; Captain America, however, fears that the Avengers will only be corrupted by bureaucracy. Their disagreement eventually escalates into all-out war when Cap's old friend Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), now a brainwashed assassin known as the Winter Soldier, reenters the picture. Captain America: Civil War brings back former Avengers characters such as Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), War Machine (Don Cheadle), Falcon (Anthony Mackie), and Vision (Paul Bettany); it also drags into the fray low-rent superhero Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), and introduces both the powerful African prince Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) and a new, younger incarnation of Spider-Man (Tom Holland).

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Batman (Ben Affleck) and Superman (Henry Cavill) clash over differing philosophies about what kind of heroism is needed to protect the world, while the public they're defending is becoming increasingly mindful of the damage that superheroes and masked vigilantes cause. However, the duo are soon forced to confront an even greater threat created by nefarious billionaire Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg). Directed by Zack Snyder, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice also co-stars Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Jeremy Irons as Alfred the butler, and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman.

Justice League
In the wake of Superman's death, Batman (Ben Affleck) and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) recruit superpowered individuals to defend humanity from an otherworldly threat called Steppenwolf (Ciarán Hinds). Together with their new allies -- Cyborg (Ray Fisher), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), and the Flash (Ezra Miller) -- they form the superhero team known as the Justice League. Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Jeremy Irons, Diane Lane, Connie Nielsen, Amber Heard, Joe Morton, and J.K. Simmons co-star. Directed by Zack Snyder.

I make a video on Civil War and it turns into a video on how BvS could've been better. No matter how I try to renounce DC, I guess it will always hold a spot in my heart...
Filmento civil war was a vastly overrated movie, 6/10 and comparing it to dogshit like BvS is easy, go talk about real films not fucking capeshit
Filmento everything the villain did in civil war was carried by coincidences. Tony has No arc, his character just magically conforms to the story being told. cheesy jokes deflated the stakes and the end battle was a 2 on 1 cop-out, why not have a real winner in one on one combat after that marketing? Now its ok to have your “favs” but BVS UE is the superior film objectively speaking. Also it’s 3 years later and civil war doesn’t hold up...the cgi is cartoonish Yet BVS looks like Beauty defined to this day.
BvS was meant to form a team civil war meant to separate a team. I love BvS and i can say WB tried to have it both way we had lex pulling the strings trying to put the heroes against each other and the trinity coming together to stop doomsday.
This video was a little off putting most of your issues are all plot points working in the back ground.... especially in the ultimate cut....the martha scene is not meant to be rational batman can't be thinking rationally he is emotionally unstable when it comes to his parents...there are all this storytelling elements playing in the back ground.
Yes it could have easily been a better BvS movie if they just focused on the conflict you know you enjoyed Jese's over the top performance and blowing up ms.incredible and standing cynicaly on the top of the tower as both gladiators aproach each other. WB also wanted to do a dawn of justice movie and what i got was an epic trinity movie.
What if despite of the title this movie was always meant for the heroes to short out their differences and personal issues and team up to fight aggainst an impersonal eminent threat like these character always do whenever the world's finest meet each other.
For making BvS better all i would suggest a little fleshing out of the plot to incorporate more team dynamics and call the movie just dawn of justice....damn it WB you just couldn't resist the title Batman v Superman could you.
But marvel's fan can be grateful WB did or they wouldn't have green lit civil war who knows what the state of the MCU would have been then.
And this leads to one more point subtly is the key if you are loud and flashy you may face unjust scrutiny...ambition can promise great thing but sometimes promises can be broken.

"He's my friend"
"So was I"
*This exchange alone tho*
That hit me so deep... I was fucking heart broken. That bromance moment is legendary
that still hits deep
Also the exchange:
“Killing him isn’t going to change what happened.”
“I don’t care. He killed my mom.”
So much raw human emotion, and such a switch up from the standard trope of using ‘It won’t change anything’ as an argument. It’s just immediately shut down with such strong emotion. It hits hard.
“I don’t care, he killed my mom”.
Cap: He's my friend.
Iron Man: So was I.
Me: Since when?
BvS could have been solved with Superman saying “wait, let’s talk.”
In Civil War they both thought they were both right. No amount of talking would have changed that.
Even in Avengers 1 and 2, Tony and Cap had arguments that planted the seeds for future tensions in their relationship. Marvel had a long-term plan.
there's no way DC can top Marvel after Endgame, even Marvel can't top itself now
DC maybe able to top the solo movies but not the team up films. Justice League was garbage. Shazam was an excellent movie though
@@biguy617 shazam was really good
Shazam was OK movie like Captain Marvel
@@biguy617 I hated the 3rd act of shazam. Aquaman was a better movie overall in my opinion.
Velglow Shazam had the better character arc and villain. Shazam did not kill a villain's father for that villain to have motivation to go after him. The Shazam family was awesome. That is why it is a better movie.
That moment when Yondu's death in GOTG 2 has more impact than Superman's death in BvS: Dawn of Martha.
Thanks WB for firing Zack Snyder.

@@trevorphilips9065 I'm sorry, are you ignoring how it's the exact same case with Clark? Of course we knew he was coming back, in fact in seems they couldn't even keep him dead for 15 minutes if the rising dirt was any indication. And yeah, Peter's death was a lot sadder because the films made him far more human than Clark ever was. No amount of wannabe introspective philosophical bullshit is gonna change that.
And don't start with the whole "the movie is too smart" angle, BvS has its head so far up Snyder's ass that it could see all its bad reviews while looking through his teeth.
@@MG_Spy Pete wasn't sad it's been confirmed he has a sequel and only brain dead people would think Disney would kill there money character and he was barely in the MCU Civil War 16 minutes Spiderman Homecoming 2 hours Infinity War 7 minutes while Clark Man of Steel 3 hours BVS UE 3 hours and how is Clark not human he even experiences the consequences unlike Pete where he managed to ditch detention and doesn't have to deal with bills unlike Clark

But here we are with people apparently getting hyped up with snyder JL, let's see if it actually good or just another train wreck like bvs.
@@Napoleonic_S To be perfectly honest, I'm actually hoping that it's honna be good. I've been a Marvel shill got most of my live, but after Endgame I gotta say I'm emotionally satisfied and don't need any more movies (aside from Spiderman 3, Thor 4 and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3).
I would honestly like for DC to take the reigns now. Snyder is a pretty flawed filmmaker in my eyes, but at least he has a clear and focused vision for his movie and actually tries, which is more than I can say for other directors.
WW84 was unfortunately a trainwreck so if Justice League happens to be good I'm all for it. The DC movies need a good one now. I just hope that Josstice League is the bottom of the barrel and that the only way left to go is up.
@@Napoleonic_S It's obviously gonna be good because Snyder just reversed most of the bad scenes in JL and turned it good. Plus it's also R rated and Batman doesn't smile.
He is an old batman a human being that's why he is killing fighting crime for like I dunno more than 2 decades he doesn't care anymore for criminals.
In Civil War there are also several scenes where Steve and Tony reaches out, trying to resolve their conflict, showing us, the audience, that they value eachother, they value each other's opinion and they value the relationship they have. This means that the final personal conflict is all the more devastating and also why you can have a scene like the one where Cap drops his shield; because Steve, whatever disagreement he has with Tony, _values_ Tony and so when Tony tells him that he doesn't deserve the shield, it matters.
If Steve and Tony had had no prior relationship or had been antagonistic from the start, why would Cap give up the best weapon he's got? It would have made the severing of their ties less impactful.
Underrated comment. Explains beautifully why the buildup and relationship between two characters are necessary before making them clash.
Steve and Tony were already antagonistic from the start. First, there's the argument in Avengers 1 (Cap: Big man in a suit of armor. Take that off and what are you??? Iron Man: Billionaire, genius, and philantrophist) and then, they fought each other in Age of Ultron while Tony was bringing Vision to life.
Civil War was basically the boiling point between these 2 characters.
exactly and those relations are what made civil war work
exactly and those relations are what made civil war work
@@loudboy317 they were antagonistic, but bot in the Same way as Batman and Superman were. Cap and Iron man were on the same side, but were the contrast of each other. Cap was a Leader, who wanted the Avengers to be s good Team. Tony on the other Hand was a arrogant genius, who believed, he know better what needed to be done and was now standing in front of the man, his father always believed to be the best Person ever. But after their first Meetup in Avengers, they respect each other, which Made their antagonistic behavior in CV all the more heartbreaking
Batman and Superman were antagonistic to each other because... Reasons. There was no buildup for them or anything.
CV were friends, who were turned against each other, BvS was a Hero we know in this universe against a random powerful Guy, we've never seen before. Just like the villains in other movies, for example Steppenwolf in Justice League or Ultron in Avengers 2.
It's just not possible to throw a new Character in a movie, let him fight against a Charakter we know and believe it would have the exact same emotional Potential as two known characters fighting

@@jockeyfield1954 HiTop films?

Zack Snyder: Batman never killed them, he just stunned them.
Stunned them into pieces.
It’s hurt to see Steve and Tony fight no matter how many times I watched it...
Indeed. It hurts because those are two characters knew each other for years, so seeing them fight each other was saddening. Whereas Batman and Superman's fight didn't leave an emotional impact because they didn't have a personal connection like Tony and Steve did.
Yes... Steve was not just a friend...he the person Tony put his trust in... because of how his father always spoke about Steve and admired him...when Steve revealed that he knew that Bucky killed Tony’s parents ... it’s tear me apart because of how much of an impact to Tony... this movie is such a great manipulation that I can’t choose who I’m gonna stand with... beside watching them tear each other apart... IMO , the best villain so far even greater than thanos...
Cause we audience side with both of them. It makes sense that Steve hide this fact because he wants to spare Tony’s feelings and protect Bucky. It also makes sense that Tony attacked Bucky out of rage even though he knows Bucky was being mind controlled because Tony felt betrayed by someone his father praised and helped sort of create. In the end we did see Steve apologize to Tony and Tony did let Steve break out their friends from prison, I like to see that scene as Tony forgiving Steve. Tony didn’t ask for Steve to return to Avengers but he repaired the shield anyway not knowing if he’ll ever return and now I’m sad.
True shit, i can rewatch any MCU movies except that one😔
I guess, Zemo is the best villain that could made Steve and Tony clashing each other.
It also worked because they didn't jump straight into it. It's like if the MCU was Ironman 1, then Civil War and then Avengers.
civil war was released four years after the avengers, but your point of multiple film story telling stands.
@Jim Halpert yeah, i miss read his comment, I see what you, and he, meant.
In general, I would also liken BvS to Spider-Man 3, in that BvS tried to cram three distinct major antagonists for Superman into one movie (Batman in a disillusioned and paranoid state, Lex Luthor, and Doomsday) and Spider-Man 3 had three separate villains struggling for screen time (Harry Osborn becoming the New Goblin, Sandman, and Venom).
In a way, BvS is arguably even more crowded and compact than Spider-Man 3 on the front, with Harry Osborn and Batman harboring a vendetta against Spider-Man and Superman, before teaming up with said heroes for the finale. Harry Osborn at least had two prior movies, to flesh out his character and explain why he hates Peter Parker so much and intends to mutate himself into another Green Goblin. Batman, on the other hand, only has a passing Easter egg of the vandalized Robin suit to barely explain why he was no longer in his right mind, to the point of breaking his one rule by killing random criminals in cold blood. On top of that, Spider-Man 3 also at least has the broader theme of revenge to help tie the "Peter Parker vs. Harry Osborn", "Spider-Man vs. Sandman", and "Spider-Man vs. Venom" a little more seamlessly into one story.

the one thing that ruins most DCEU battles for me is that everyone is too strong. 1punch and the enemy is now 5 blocks away and it becomes who can punch harder and a cgi camera flying with them. In marvel there is hand to hand combat and people using the enviroment likebucky pinning tony on the wall to rip out the reactor. the one fight I enjoyed a lot in BvS was batman figinh the villians in the small house because it was grounded with hand to hand combat. maybe making half your characters be able to punch through everything wasnt a good idea after all

What makes this video so brilliant is the way you don't just trash on BvS, you actually suggest ways the movie could have been improved. Excellent, excellent job
Yes. You can tell that he's not merely a Marvel fanboy; he's logically explaining _why_ BvS was shit, and why Civil War worked.
My favorite part. If he had written (or even just script doctored...QA'd it) BvS we'd have something worth watching.
good point
Until you realise the movie was story driven and what the characters were taken from their darkest comic counterparts. And also it turns out to be one of the darkest movies of all time when you realise that sups was facing backlash and it was impossible for him to be all jolly and optimistic. Further destroying a character trait was batman killing. He had gone so far into madness that his identity as Bruce Wayne was turned into a mask which he used to infiltrate places where Batman can't. That's fucked up. He doesn't even care about anything anymore. He dreams about either world ending events or his parents' death. That's even more fucked up. If bvs story isn't fucked up and mind blowing in itself then i dont know what is .

Oscar McCormack that reply came out of nowhere, what do you mean? I was stating that Pheonix, the new Marvel movie, looked fairly bad.
Dc: fight me marvel!!
Marvel : nahh, too busy topping myself
Yeah Correct 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What made Civil War so amazing as an experience was that Tony and Steve had so long to build up a relationship. We saw them laugh, cry...grow as people. That's not the case with BvS. We had, what, a movie with Superman and none with Batman? We know next to nothing about them.
Yeah, and even in Civil War, Tony & Steve reunite and become friends again right before the final fight. Which I think was a great decision, because it confirms how built up their relationship is & how much they don't like fighting each other...right before the heartbreaking end. Despite beating each other up and fighting earlier, both physically & verbally...the moment Tony finds out he was wrong he rushes to help Steve & Bucky, and despite still disagreeing about the Accords, Steve is immediately happy to see Tony the moment he learns he's there to help & no longer after Bucky..."It's good to see you Tony," - "You too Cap." As they proceed to go face the super soldiers threat together, a team once again. 😢
_(Steve's reaction when Tony finds them & starts talking is also perfectly contrasted with Bucky's reaction. Steve reacts positively and immediately trusts that Tony is there to help within a few lines, while Bucky keeps his gun trained on Tony the whole time, despite Tony saying he's not after him anymore...with Bucky only lowering it once Steve tells him to. Steve trusts Tony's being honest and can tell he's being genuine, but that's only because he's spent so much time interacting with Tony, as they built their relationship. While Bucky only trusts Steve, but trusts him a lot because their relationship is so strong & built up, etc. It just felt so natural.)_
And somehow their brief reunion doesn't feel rushed at all, which is incredible considering it happens over 1 minute with only a few lines exchanged between the 2.
Basically, the fact you point out - how built up their relationship was - is further accentuated by how little talking is needed to stop them from fighting earlier. The issue has to be so deep in order for them to be unable to talk it out at the end of the day, and Russo Brothers totally pulled it off.
Sorry /end ramble. 😅
What if superman caught the joker, but didn't kill him. When joker escapes, he kills Robin, causing batman the blame superman.
Yes. Would so see that. As long as Robin is not Dick Grayson. 😕
That would work so good to the audience
And Robin could be Jason Todd
Why the hell would Superman kill Joker? If Batman thinks Joker is so dangerous, he can kill him himself.
Exactly what I was thinking lol

Simple answer: Filmento should be a film consult on how to make and write good movies
The Real Reason Behind Marvel's Success is that they have Lights, and DC Has Dim Lights
Exactly it's too dark literally
some say it's to cover up their "random cgi monstrosities" lmao
This all started with the original Michael Keaton Batman. It was always at night, raining, etc.
Before that we had 4 Superman movies. They were in the day time, brightly lit, hopeful, etc.
Batman was trying to copy Blade Runner, and the DCEU kept that dark theme. Nobody likes it. Also the darker, muted color scheme for hero costumes. Why?
One of the few things BvS did right was how they introduced elements of humor into the movie. This was desperately missing from previous efforts.
Wonder Woman and Justice League had a few more light-hearted moments but not enough.
It wasn't until Shazam that they found a good balance between humor and the deadly seriousness of the threats.
Marvel established the right balance of humor way back in the original Iron Man. It just worked. The robot spraying Tony with fire retardant while he was testing the boots, the proof that Tony Stark has a heart, Pepper throwing Tony's date out of the mansion, Jarvis being snarky with the color scheme, and Stane's rant about Tony making an arc reactor in a cave with spare parts. Those were all comedic gold. They worked.
Then there was the seriousness. The original attack. Stane's betrayal, next betrayal, and next betrayal. The entirety of the cave scenes. The de-icing problem. The terrorists acquiring Stark Tech. The big reveal when Pepper downloaded Stane's files. Very grim stuff. All life-and-death.
But then it also had those "wow" moments, like when Tony first got the suit flying right, that look in his eyes when he was making the Mark 1 in the cave, that same look again when he knew he had to go stop the terrorists, Iron Man blowing up that tank and walking away like a boss, and of course that final "I am Iron Man" moment. In the comics he NEVER would have revealed his secret identity, but they had so carefully crafted his ego that it would be impossible for him to retain a secret identity. This was the "subversion of expectations" done right. It worked. it fit his personality perfectly.
All of these formed the core blueprint for other Marvel movies. Newer movies might tweak the formula a bit but they all had their seriousness, their humor (often gallows humor), and their wow moments.
And of course the best yet was Infinity War. It had the deadly seriousness of Thanos killing everyone, humor for nearly every character except maybe Wanda. Even the super-stoic Black Panther had that "get this man a shield" moment. But then it also had some of the best wow moments ever as well. Steve Rogers showing up, the awesome intro scene of the Guardians flying through space, Thanos' trickery at Knowhere, Nebula being tortured, Wanda using TK to wipe out those deadly blades, and of course Thor's arrival at Wakanda. All to be topped of with the Snap. Wow, just wow.
BvS and Justice League never came close to this tier of complete mastery of comic book adaptation.
Oh yeah, darkness. That's right. DCEU is way too dark, visually.
@@protorhinocerator142 I think the reason is WB. All of their movies are like this only.
The real reason of Marvels success is that they make movies for children.
they should have put this movie on hold and made the "joker kills robin" film first
@A Guy Studios the animated one? it's really good, I like it a lot
@A Guy Studios John DiMaggio (Bender, Jake the Dog, etc) is the Joker in that one, and I remember at first being caught off guard by how different his interpretation is but ended up being a very good performance
I always thought that
They probably would, DC can’t get enough of Joker
Voltaire Slapadelic actually the 2016 suicide squad mov was gonna have joker beat & kill robin & Batman besting joker into a bloody pulp but because of studio interference wb changed it
it seems that all the failing dc movies don't see that a bombastic final fight isn't winning the crowd.
in civil war, the argument between cap and tony (the one where tony callls wanda a wmd) is a quiet moment, and it's not the only one. in between action scenes (police escape, airport, soviet base), they put these quiet moments where we can get emotionally invested in the struggle.
by the time tony decides bucky has to die, we as the audience understand this reaction, and the emotional climax runs in sync with the action.
when tony states that cap doesn't deserve his shield (because the maker was killed by the person he's defending with it), he drops it. this is heavy stuff, because the shield symbolizes so much about cap (before the shield, he was a dancing monkey for propaganda, before that he was a sick weakling). he's willing to throw all that away because he cares about bucky, and he'd rather be a fugitive than lose his friend.
Cap dropped the shield because he knew he wasn't worthy of the shield. Also, he had become a fugitive of his own country. In other words. Nomad
This is called a writing 🔥🔥
To bad that the MCU ultimately can't make a movie about an ideological rift like Civil war was in the comics.
Tony abandons his own ideology halfway through the movie, and he never brings up the need for having an authority controlling the avengers again. It's just dropped.
Tony does not fight out of ideological reasons in the comic, he just wants revenge against Bucky. A cliche you-killed-my-parents storyline instead of a ideological conflict. That is the level that the Russo brothers write at.
@@disrupt94 Eh, I'm kinda glad they didn't. The comic version of Civil War was good as an idea but was executed terribly. It started off well with two sides pushing on the passing of the Superhuman Registration Act, but as the story went on and on, Tony's ideology shifted from 'having oversight on superhuman/meta individuals' right into 'suspension of habeas corpus, and arrest without trial'. It had the opportunity to view 2 negating perspectives on heroes as a whole, but instead of the grey-on-grey moral conflict (meaning both sides would have reason to be supported), it just went black and white when Maria Hill (who was on Tony's side/Pro-Registration) started arresting Steve and other enhanced individuals without warrants (and the fact that the Registration Act wasn't even passed yet at the time). Not to mention, Tony hiring publicly declared villains to ground and arrest those on Steve's side. Yeah, it did start off as an ideological conflict that would have provided reasonable debate, but as the story progressed up to Steve's death, Tony went from a reasonable pro-Registration Act figure, and straight up fascist (especially when he flat out told Spiderman that everyone who didn't register did not have rights, not even to a lawyer).
The MCU version was scaled down, and when you compare it to the comics, it does feel a lot restrained because we only see it from the Avengers (whereas the comic version had the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, the Defenders, cosmic organizations like the Carol Corps, the Imperial Guard, etc.). However, I did like how the MCU version had me torn on who to support: I understood Tony, and I also sympathized with Steve's cause. By the time the movie ended, I couldn't say who was right, but I can definitely say that neither was wrong.
The comic storyline? Not so much. It was either martyred Steve Rogers, or Nazi-lite Tony Stark. One was good, the other clearly in the wrong.
I will say, though - I agree with your take on Tony. It felt as if the whole conflict for an overarching, overseeing authority on metas was kinda forgotten. I hear that it will be a plot point in The Winter Soldier & Falcon show though - since both characters are associated with SWORD, and maybe to an extent, WandaVision as well?
@@cainyourkids " but instead of the grey-on-grey moral conflict (meaning both sides would have reason to be supported), it just went black and white when Maria Hill (who was on Tony's side/Pro-Registration) started arresting Steve and other enhanced individuals without warrants (and the fact that the Registration Act wasn't even passed yet at the time). Not to mention, Tony hiring publicly declared villains to ground and arrest those on Steve's side."
Using the wrong methods for a noble cause really only makes Tony a tragic anti-hero. Flawed individuals can snap under pressure. I agree that it's not perfect, but it was a fight where you were allowed to ask yourself who is right between two ideological standpoints, controll vs freedom. Extreme methods on one part does not mean that it's 100% black and white. Tony did not want Spiderman hurt. Tony wanted to talk the conflict out when Captain America attacks him (atleast that is how Tony woudl view it). It's not as black as white as you suggest.
" Tony hiring publicly declared villains"
Cap and Co ARE public villains. Perhaps even more so in the movie where Cap sides with Bucky who really could be a double-agent by Hydra for all Steve knows. in the comic, Cap kicks Punisher out for killing two villains about the join Caps team if I remember correctly.
Thing is, the Russo brothers could have written a Tony that was more gentle in his methods, and the conclict could still be ideological. They had the perfect arc for it, and they dropped it in favor of generic paste that makes Tony look like an absolute bellend regardless. He has faced mind-controll in two movies allready. Wanda is on his freaking team. It makes no sense for Tony to be mad long term, but not bring the conflict up again once He and Cap reunites.
Cap about to kill his old friend and let's himself be arrested because he realizes how much blood and horror their rift has caused, that's an emotional climax far beyond them breaking up but Steve writes a cute little Letter and they unite without real problems against Thanos.
There was a lot building up to the final fight in Civil War, everything they did they did for a reason, a reason that seemed grounded. Tony and Cap’s fight was building up ever since Avengers. In Batman V Superman Batman literally just decided that superman was a threat and wanted to kill him. That was his goal, there was no grounded reasoning. Although I do think of there was more building up on both Batman and Superman’s fight and they weren’t just fighting for blood it would’ve made for a better movie.

I think a big factor is also likeability... Most of the Marvel Characters have their own movie that builds up the character and you see their funny sides. That makes them more relatable. If anything harmful or serious happened to them, we as veiwers would also feel something.
Superman's character is almost non existant. He's always brooding and too serious / angry or emotionless. And when that person dies, you dont feel it. Batmans is also another serious brooding one. Combine the two and you get one boring broodfest.
That's DC for ya
That's because he was just learning about humanity and their ways. Having Batman there to kill him for the city's destruction is not the reason all. If everyone wasn't so blind, later on they would have found out that Zack was planning on making him into the version of Superman that all you perfecto happy go lucky Superman fans want. Instead of complaining and saying oh it's so dark. You can't always get what I want. There are different versions of Superman as well. Not all of them are smiles and lighthearted.
Hold up Clark Kent, the boy next door from middle of nowhere Kansas raised on a farm all his life by two humans is "just learning about humanity" now? I'm sorry, did Snyder have a couple of penguins in the sewers of Gotham raise this boy or something. Superman's been growing up with and around humans literally his entire life. His entire character is summed up with a good natured farm boy crossed with the perfect being. Granted Snyder apparently forgot that the Superman is supposed to be a superman in heart and mind as well and this edged out angst fest in tights couldn't comfort a scared or sad child if they were surrounded by a field of puppies. If this had all been a big setup for Injustice I honestly wouldn't have been surprised.
Wtf are you talking about, Man of Steel already did that for fuck sake. Then all of a sudden he becomes brooding and emo in BVS, sure maybe it's the trauma of killing Zod and countless lives that he wasn't aware of while fighting but then this just shows you how robotic of character Snyder made Supes.
Plus superman is symbol of hope, he is of pure heart and optimism no matter what especially the powers he has. But what BVS presented is like him having turned into some kind of a god which is so wrong in so many ways.
Because Marvel built up to it creating character development and DC didn’t want to take the time to grow their characters.
WB is responable for that. Neither Snyder or Nolan (executive producer) wanted things go so fast. They were following orders and Snyder came up with everything in the DCEU (at least aesthetically). Nolan left after BvS and WB threw Snyder under the bus despite make profit, all because BvS didn't reach 1 billion dollars. JL is another sad story.
DC are idiots if they expected BvS to beat the $1 billion mark because they had very little build up and the movies prior to it weren't the best. They're lucky that they didn't lose a lot of money
Warner Bros you stupid fuck.

What a good commentary and comparison. I think one of the biggest letdowns with BvS wasn't the villain but the lack of motivation and character growth for both Batman and Superman. The Winter Soldier built very reasonable motivations for the split and led to an inevitable confrontation. BvS had Superman just being himself and Batman angry but without fully fleshed out motivations.
Imagine this scenario. Superman laments the destruction and loss of lives from his battle with Zod and begins a downward spiral of self-doubt. The public still praises him as a god-like figure but Superman doesn't feel he is worthy and his doubt causes him to avoid the public. He becomes less and less of a hero and tries to disappear for a while. Batman having seen the loss of thousands of lives in the conflict and also seeing previous captures released back into the public start to doubt whether true justice is being served.
Batman could have a small expositional scene with Alfred where he states that he sees no victory in what he has done. Superman caused the loss of thousands of lives but is still perceived as a hero. Criminals just get released again to hurt the innocent. Batman comes to epiphany that he would rather kill the criminals and bear the burden of their blood on his hands than watch the innocent take their place. That is not a burden he can bare. With that insight Batman becomes a true terror which motivates him to rid the world of the criminal element through death and also to show the world that they worship a hypocritical 'god'.
The increase in criminal deaths from a vigilante forces a cat and mouse game between Batman and Superman eventually forcing the penultimate battle between the two. After a long fought battle between them (obviously Batman has to use his Kryptonite powered suit) Wonderwoman shows up to to lay the smack down on the two weakened men and to knock some sense into their heads that they are both looking for justice but have lost their way. She has already seen the destruction of power hungry people (from the Wonderwomen movie and Ares) but understands that both are only wanting hope and justice for the innocent.
This encounter allows a dialogue between the parties so they can realize that both Batman and Superman have failed and that they should not only use their abilities to help the innocent but also need to be symbols. This provides a weakness for Superman and Batman in that they have both have fallen prey to their darker innate natures and could be better as a team.
These are just some character growth ideas that I think would have worked in the movie. I did not want to address the villain as I think BvS could have used another villain instead of Lex Luthor to allow them to work together to defeat them but ultimately showing that Lex Luthor was the mind behind the villain and there there is more to come in the DCEU.
So much potential but so much wasted.
This is an awesome idea, with the right execution, it would have worked amazingly. Wish this had have been the movie. Consider pursuing a career in script writing :)

Toxic Anoxic tru
The clip you showed about Zack reasoning Bruce's killing criminals, it is exactly how Bruce thinks. Zack isn't trying to justify why Batman wasn't exactly killing, he is trying to tell us why Batman thinks he is not exactly killing(theres a difference). Batman in this movie is delusional and borderline psychopath, completely driven by rage.
no point explaining to filmento, he doesnt understand anything now hes too bz reading all the praise comments, there is alot of thinking in BVS between actions and feelings that led to batman into becoming this rogue vigilante whom now kills but filmento doesnt understand this, especially in the events of man of steel during the war between aliens according to batman whom cannot see superman as a human. Filmento really has no idea what hes talking about right now
Nah he would have just said that in the interview. He wasn't talking from Bruce's perspective he just realised he fucked up portraying Batman
@@GenericMedusa99 That's extremely inaccurate. The entire point that Filmento is making is that everything you're describing happened off screen, so most audiences couldn't care about it. There is literally 12 movies worth of content before Civil War. Not all of them are focused on Cap or Iron Man, but a lot of them are. To sum up the reason why most audiences didn't like BvS and why most did like Civil War is because Marvel laid foundation, tons of it, before getting to where they were at that point. DC had one movie before that, Man Of Steel, which was a great movie, but that's not enough. BvS needed more foundation, not just more before it, but it needed to show more in the movie itself. Your point is 'There's more story there', and what Filmento, I and others are all saying is 'You're right, so show it to us.' There was some flaws with both movies, the Martha scene was absolutely terrible, but BvS would have worked if they gave us more substance to it
I've been watching your channel non stop now since couple of days. Thanks for the content
thats simple, in civil war we already know cap and tony,we know their points of view in bvs we dont
@Oscar Rivers 'Humans trying to be gods'
Thor's arc in Endgame and the entirety of Homecoming, just to name some, goes against that.
Also, humans trying to be gods is not that unrelatable either. For example, let's look at Tony's arc altogether. He experiences the chitauri invasion. If you had the power and resources to try and safeguard the Earth for another invasion like it, you'd do it, won't you? That's why Tony tries 'playing god' in Ultron. Likewise, there are reasons for characters wanting to be god. What I'm trying to say is that there are exeptions if you look into it, and that the 'Humans trying to be gods' isn't necessarily a flaw.
Oscar Rivers Their points of view are TOLD to us, but we don’t EXPERIENCE them. CW works because we saw how those get there and like this video points out, the conflicts are personal. BvS is a cash grab that spends too much time setting up future movies than focusing on the movies they got.
Also we know what DC is about. And any of the movies Snyder had unlimited control on sucked (before you bring up Wonder Woman, he had people to tell him ‘no that’s stupid’ on.)
Shazam was good because it embraced the spirit of the character, while still showing Billy become heroic in the end, as well as had a well crafted sequential narrative that knows to keep the focus on the title character, where it belongs.
Also Snyder didn’t direct it, and considering that the man hates superheroes as a concept, especially Superman, that’s a good thing.
이민형 humans dont try to be gods
@Oscar Rivers It's funny how you are so affected by the comment basically saying BvS is trash. It's soooooo funny how hard you defend it LOL
@Oscar Rivers but for a movie that is heroe vs heroe we need to know those two characters,in cw,we already had 4 movies with cap and 5 with tony where through those film they change their perpestive bout govern,in bvs we dont know batman and know little about clark

What also makes Civil War work better is that we had several solo movies along with the Avengers movies with Cap and Ironman going through personal stuff along with having conflict with each other before seeing the breaking point. Rather than with BvS it’s pretty much one movie and not seeing enough of build up

Abyss Roamer Not just this. Literally every superhero movie these days wants to be the Avengers series. This, Josstice League, Fant4stic. Hell, even what the FoX-Men franchise has become!

That was an amazing idea. How the previous movies tie into your idea for BvS!!!
i've watched those films in past few months - you're 100% on point!
Yes, absolutely would have been better with personal reasons to fight.
There was a personal reason. He just missed it thinking the movies had to be the same. The personal conflict is Batman and Superman's personal differences in what Justice is. Batman's brand of justice is corrupt- he's killing people by sending them to prison so they get murdered. It's shown in the scene where Clark opens the letters sent by Luthor of the dead inmate with the question: "JUSTICE?"
Justie is what these characters are all about considering the next movie was going to be justice league. Filmento gets it wrong here thinking they had to fight over lois land or something. Also, he says people batman knew should of died to make things personal. I guess he skipped the beginning of the movie where Wayne tower collapsed and batman got pissed when he was sent a picture of the aftermath with the words: "YOU LET YOUR FAMILY DIE" But Filmento doesn't cover that.
@@fourth1000 see I do think the conflict of what justice is would have been good if they didnt try to rush into justice league just to keep up with marvel. Would have been nice to see a MoS sequel and a solo batman first. Oh well
@@headshotzbyjcent Thank you for your reply. The DCEU was never trying to be like marvel.... initially. The original idea, was 5 films to build a superman story that would grow the character from dark, to his true form self. BvS was always the sequel. Then Justice league 1,2,3 and then done. It would of got rebooted after.
It wasn't until after, the studio started pushing for more movies to be like marvel... which is probably why Affleck wanted out because he was only scheduled for 3 appearances as Batman.
Justice does work, if the idea is fighting together from BvS on. Have you seen LA Confidential? Great neo noir movie. In classic sense; two cops hate each othe over their style of obtaining justice. On likes to break a few bones.... the other, by the book. It's not until they relize there are enemies bigger then their squabbling that they unite. My take.
@@fourth1000 I feel ya man. Personally I really would have liked BvS if instead of the lex luther and doomsday we got, the antagonists were lex luther from the animated justice league series and someone like bizarro. That lex just seemed smarter, more powerful, and more manipulative in a way that I can see him getting superman and batman to fight based on their moral beliefs. And I say bring bizarro at the end when supes and batman realize lex luther is a big threat just cuz I think doomsday and the death of superman was just too early. Either way atleast dc seems like they're going in the right direction now. Plus we got the animated movies.
@@headshotzbyjcent jcent james thank you for the reply. Allow me to try to convince you with this. The death of superman came along when it did because it's just when the comic producers thought of doing it. It was only made to be an edgy what if with no meaning/catharsis in mind. It's just, what if we told people superman died and watched the sales come in.
In snyders version, there is meaning. Doomsday is the literal personification of what the public fear about superman after the Zod fight. Snyder is great in this way- like tarantino he doesn't tell you what to feel he lets some chips fall where they may. Some critics say snyder thinks destruction of the city is cool and style. I think opposite. If you wished superman was real, this would be the result if you wrote the story not as a propaganda to heroism with good PR for the character but in a real world sense allowing the audience and charcters to discern the events for themselves. The story is more interactive this way.
The world fears one man with god like power: socially, politically and religiously. Even batman feels if that power goes bad one day, we will be powerless.
Doomsday is the personification of that irrational anger, rage and cataclysmic disaster. But the trinity working together exorcise this demon of sorts.
And at the height of the world hating him, superman gives his life for it and the world mourns and batman feels remorse about his corroded valor.
And hope is born.
LEX LUTHOR: This isn't intended to be classic lex. it's actually whiney lex jr. Lex Luthor is iconic but he gets away with such a bland motivation that when we see it in other films we say "generic evil business man is evil cliché" but why does Traditional lex get a pass?
This lex Luthor (who I am not saying is better) fits withing the narrative of God-like power. He is an iconoclast of godlike beings. He wants to prove superman fallible based on his upbringing. Just like how people who are raised religious have bad things happen to them, they say "fuck god."
Batman and lex are essentially the same character. They want to destroy superman at the cost of everything. Batman willing to lay down his life after 20 years of fight. To me, lex Luthor willing to spend every last dime to destroy superman funded by a company his father started I think he could care less about. Supermman is his new hobby.
That's it. Let me know what you think.
I was even going to post, why the Martha scene works and what people overlook when judging it because they only go by the memes that make fun of it.

Hands down the best line in the video.
12:05 that just killed me xD Anyway, great video, as always! Learning a lot from those.
Hello, I just wanted to tell you that you are the first youtube channel that I subscribed to. And this is the first comment that I've ever given on a youtube video. This is one of my favorite movies and I love your video on it. So many other CZcamsrs miss stuff like this, you gave me a new understanding of storytelling better then any book, or college proffeser ever has or will. I hope you keep making videos, and some day I'm going to take the skills you've given me and use them to tell a story that will amaze everyone. Thank you.
Problem is if bat v superman was personal, superman wouldn’t hold back and batman wouldn’t last 3 seconds
Counter point: if the personal and underlying conflict is batman wants to kill and Sup's doesn't, then it is reasonable (to me at least) that Superman would still hold back just long enough for Batman to gain the upper hand. Read the Dark Knight Returns and I think you get a good idea of the only way batman could win. And honestly, watching Superman win wouldn't be entertaining because he is so powerful. Half the entertainment of a BvS fight is seeing a man take down a god.
Tait Washburn I’m team batman all the way 😂 superman is just broken. You make a great point.
@@bennovanniekerk6929 hmm Batman is just broken but he's human so it doesn't make sense, and that's y Batman sucks. Batman has more skills than SUPERMAN, write a list and see for yourself.
DarkKent Of course Batman is more skilled than Superman?? Obviously he is. He worked to be who he is, while Superman was just born powerful. Were you trying not to make any sense?
@@blueberryblues5644 omg my point was skills vs powers dude Batman has more skills and does more things than SUPERMAN has powers! That makes no sense and no human in a typical lifetime can amass the amount of skills that Batman has that's why he's stupid. Batman c*#k suckers don't like Superman because of his powers and yet don't mind a human doing more
why do u even need a 17 minutes video to explain this when you can just tell with just one sentence
"you can't tell a 10 years story in 2 hours"
It had only been 8 yrs at the time of civil war sooooooo...... you’re wrong
@@frostanimations9842 oH HhE wAsNT rEAdYyYyYy
@@frostanimations9842 well I dont see a single animation on your channel
@@connermitchell1663 he means it was an 8 years story, not 10 years. He isnt saying that doing it in 2 hours is possible, hes just correcting the timeline, at least what I think hes doing.
The answer is clear, DC fans are tone deaf morons.
The original BvS script was leaked which then fed Civil War and eventually BvS had to be rewritten while MCU used the leaked script and make a movie without any studio meddling.
In fact Marvel revealed the secret of "Civil War" in relationship between Cap and Crossbones. In "Winter Soldier" Crossbones says in elevator fight scene: it's nothing personal. In "Civil War" intro when he fights Cap, he says that it's because destroying his face in "Winter Soldier". And this fight is way more exciting.
You're forgetting the best versus movie: *Monsters Vs Aliens*

no.

Petition to bring Zack back to the dceu
Another great thing is that this is not a standalone film. The relationship between Tony and Rogers had been growing and developing since the events of the original Avengers. Which again just serves to make the conflict more organic and PERSONAL
The only mistake in BvS is WB rushing the whole things.
yes. One of the reasons
And the iconic Martha plot
@@romanoff8691 it’s only iconic for how sh*t it was 🙃
Bahaha, that opening with the comments over the monologue... Genius. Take my free like, good sir.
"Nothing wrong with DC"

@@Bryan-bd5kc lmao no . The story of bvs is written in a way that it becomes the reason for jl to come together. And it's a much better movie than it gets credit for
@@DivvayKhatri if they had the patience to introduce us to Aquaman, the Flash, and Cyborg. Jl wouldve been fine for me. But i guess WB really doesnt have the patience to do that
@@megumareta6361 DC couldn't wait because Marvel are literally ahead of them in storytelling. So, they just go with it. The difference between civil war against BvS was Tony & Steve knows each other. So their conflicts gets personal. While in BvS, Clark & Bruce doesn't know eachother. So their fight are not motivated against anything. For me, superman motivation are shallow. He regretted that he kills Zod while when he still alive everything around him dies? That is called warped sense of justice.
@@DivvayKhatri Nah, to sum it up, in CW, Tony and Steve have a real conflict, and in bvs, it was all just bullshit
“Batman” and “kills criminals” is not something I can imagine in the same sentence
Difference: one made me feel, the other did not.
Even if BvS followed Civil War, it wouldn’t work as well as Marvel’s movie because we have spent so much time on Steve and Tony and their relationship, but we’ve only spent one movie with Clark and Bruce together.
Ultra Instinct God they didn’t even give Batman a movie by himself first they just threw him in with pretty much a man of steel sequel damn near
Exactly...They had so much time to develop as characters..DJ just rust it by watching marvel start a universe
AgénT there’s a lot of Batman movies but only 1 origin movie....live action speaking and even so that shouldn’t mean anything look at the Spider-Man movies
Plus it doesn’t have to be an origin movie just a movie to give us time to get use to the DCEU’s Batman.
AgénT no it’s not cause Spider-Man was the character that we were supposed to be invested with in that movie which is why he has little screen time and I said it doesn’t have to be an origin movie just a movie to be invested in Batman as a character in the DCEU
AND Marvel spent almost a decade building this world and giving these characters....well character. Goals, morals, friendships, other relationships, that all were built on in this movie. BvS was DC trying to capture that magic, without putting in any real work. They put too many characters, with no real reason for interacting into a bowl and pulled them out, seemingly at random. Plus garbage writing. My mother's name actually is Martha, and that entire scene made me hate both Bruce and Clark. Plus Lex being a bad Riddler, the dream sequences/dreams/flashbacks.
@doggo People have hypothesized that originally the movie was supposed to feature Lex Luthor AND the Joker as villains, and Joker got cut and his character merged into Lex's. Dumber things have happened.
@@ArcaneAzmadi it's more likely that they referenced Luthor around the young type of billionair kids who get consumed by finding new toys. Elon Musk when he was younger actually pretty similar to Luthor in the movie. I don't agree on making such a person the villain though.
They should have followed the flow of batman superman: world's finest. They can always fight each other to the death later in the dceu
DC could (should) have used you as a script consultant. I'm constantly impressed how you can cut to the heart of a story problem, and more impressively, identify what should have been done to fix it. Great work.
Bruh the bvs you described actually sounds dope 😂😂
I’m a Marvel stan who would watch the shit out of that, I still enjoyed BVS for what it was 🤷♂️😂
The animated film "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" is a lot like what he described
I just dislike these versions of the characters. I hate how Batman recklessly kills, and how Superman is just a Jesus allegory
Read Frank Miller's run of Batman for a little more understanding if you haven't.
To be fair, Superman was always used as a sort of "perfect figure" in the comics
@@wapinschawyams8532 Don't remind me. I still have a bad taste from All Star Batman and Robin
Parvika Singh I’m a big fan of the comics, and I just feel like he gets the core of the character wrong. I feel like watchmen was ok, it’s just that with watchmen, you only really have to read the one book, meanwhile with Batman, you can’t just read the dark knight returns and expect to get the character

"Your movie killed Robin and Jimmy Olson because OH DARKNESS!"
What it makes it worse is that Zack Synder said it was Dick Grayson who was killed, which even WB decided to backpedal on because killing Grayson is a worse idea than making Cassandra Cain a boring pit pocket.
THEY SHOULD HAVE JUST FREAKING HAD JASON DIE. Dont get me wrong I love Jason and he is my 2nd favorite Robin BUT HE IS ALREADY SET UP FOR IT. DYING IS HIS THING. ITS BASICALLY HIS BRAND
@@damianwayne3000 Plus he's more interesting as Red Hood than as Robin. As Robin he was a retread of Dick Grayson.
As Red Hood he is a compelling antagonist who reminds Batman of one of his greatest failures. As well a reminder of what Batman could become if he decided to forget about his One Rule.
