MCU 12: No. 6 'Captain America: Civil War' makes the MCU (and its fans) choose sides

from Popcorn for Dinner · host Bankole Imoukhuede

Fresh off the heels of the success of 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier', Marvel quickly announced that the Russo Brothers would be returning to helm the next film in the Captain America franchise. What then followed was a series of announcements that gradually sent its fandom into a shared delirium. Robert Downey Jr would be reprising his role as Iron Man...this time as an antagonist. The film would loosely adapt the famed Civil War storyline. The Black Panther would be making his MCU debut in the film. Then the big one: Marvel had reached a deal with Sony Studios for part ownership of the most important character in their expansive roster. Spider-Man would be making his MCU debut in the film, played by relative up-and-comer Tom Holland.It was a lot to whet a fan's appetite, but it also raised slight concerns that maybe they were, quite literally, writing cheques that their mouths couldn't cash. Well, 10 years on, did they cash that cheque? Is 'Captain America: Civil War' one of the best MCU films? Would Steve & Natasha be part of the KKK? SOMEHOW we answer all of this and more on this chaotic episode that does threaten to incite our own Civil War.(3:00) - Why we like (and hate) civil war (19:05) - The Accords(38:00) - Do we hold Bucky accountable?(43:15) - T’Challa & Spidey’s MCU Introductions(1:00:00) - Categories(1:24:30) - Film-specific superlatives You can support us hereAlso available on YouTubeHost: Bankole ImoukhuedeGuests: Ebuka, Steve & ZikoraProduction by: Bankole Imoukhuede
