Yes. But the biggest plot twist in TWS involved Alexander Pierce. Doesn't make hm the main character.

Not the same.

The most emotional scene in Civil War involved Iron Man.

When Flash crossed over to Supergirl that was a Supergirl episode featuring The Flash.

Why? The story was all focused around Supergirl's world and it was furthering her story, whereas it didn't effect Flash's story or character arc at all.

This was different though. It wasn't clearly a Cap movie with IM guest starring. The story wasn't just about Cap and Bucky. It involved IM and the remaining Avengers as well. The film also furthered Tony's story and character.

It's not just about whose in more action and who gets more screen time Lol. Wolverine got the most action and screen time in DOFP but it wasn't his story. It was Xavier's story. And Xavier doesn't get much action Lol

Btw the 70% Friday drop off isn't so bad considering last Friday's figure includes the Thursday previews.

The first 3 "X-Men movies" were more Wolverine centric than this was Cap centric 😛

And it involved Cap. Yes, Tony was a big part. And he had an interesting arc. However, the emotional part of the movie was just as important a Cap moment as it was Iron Man's.

Cap not only had to fight for his friend Bucky's life, but he also was fighting Tony FOR Tony. If he hadn't stopped Tony he would have regretted killing Bucky his entire life. He was caught up in a rage. He was out of control.

But this is definitely a Captain America movie. It just so happens to have good screen time for other characters as well.

Suck it up.

First MCU movie where Robert Downey Jr. wasn't top billed; he was second to Chris Evans. He was the star, Downey was the secondary antagonist, and it's another variation on the political thriller, which is what Captain America movies are.

Suck it up.

The movie was as much about Bucky and Iron Man as it was about Cap.

I wouldn't call that a cameo. That was a full-fledged role.

You weren't saying that earlier. You just said it was an Iron Man movie. Big difference. Iron Man was definitely and WITHOUT QUESTION second fiddle to Cap by all accounts. If you missed that you're blind.

It's called Captain America but it's as much about Iron Man.

That's how I see it.

Cap had top billing, but this was a film about Tony Stark as well. There's no getting around that.

Yep. Not a bad drop at all. It just suggests the film won't have great legs.

I was happy with the amount of god damn sheer respect Cap got in this movie.
No one bested him.
His fight with Iron Man was quite PIS-y, I will admit, but I was happy as **** regardless.
Team Cap all day, everyday.

I especially loved seeing Cap stomp Spidey. 😂

Yah. Cap only won because he used smarts and combat experience to help him win. Spidey will undoubtedly win any future matchups....or at least he should. It was really fun to watch those 2 though. 😄

Is it okay to stop using spoiler tags now?

Then can we stop calling it The Dark Knight? It was a Batman movie, but it's as much about the Joker. They should have just called it Batman v Joker. 😄

^ Oh nothing wrong with the title. I mean the first 3 "X-Men" movies were really Wolverine movies. And Cap rightly had top billing. But anyone who suggests that this was just a Cap film and nothing else is clearly kidding themselves.
