Episode 53.5: “Captain America: Civil War” and the Marvel Cinematic Universe

What started as a fun digression into the world of superhero movies turns into our longest episode ever - no joke, you could watch the entirety of Captain America: Civil War and still have a couple minutes left over on this one - as we dive deep into all things Marvel (with a little bit on Supergirl’s move to The CW thrown in for good measure). Caroline considers an open challenge to a fellowDaredevil reviewer, we give our very positive takes on the new Captain America movie, we discuss Marvel’s not great (being charitable there) record of representation and why a whole lot of other big blockbuster franchises are actually doing way better there (including DC and Warner Bros!), Alasdair disputes the idea that casting certain roles is a “no-win situation,” and we close things out with a ranking of our respective top five Marvel movies, because dammit, even if we have a whole bunch of issues with the MCU, they do know how to make some wonderfully entertaining movies.
