I Did Not Like Civil War

[amarie24]

To clarify, I'm talking the movie, Captain America: Civil War.

I do not like it at all.

...At least they pretty much did my baby, T'Challa, right.

Still...ugh. Fuck MCU!Tony Stark. Fuck RDJ. Fuck this movie.

Edit: Yeah, this one, too:

It's all well and good to see someone stand up to Congress and it's all a nice fantasy to see someone say "I can be trusted, because I'm good, but you're corrupted with politics." But, really, do you trust Tony Stark?

And then on top of that? One of the main arguments Tony makes against Congress to be able to keep his suits is "we're fine, America's safe" and "I have successfully privatized world peace". All of the racist, Western imperialistic implications of a white Western, American man saying that he successfully privatized world peace. Like...really.

You would have to fill up a whole book series to talk about the ugliness of that and yet, like you said, within the movie, it's considered a heroic triumph. What in all the world.

Yeah, that's a line that easily needs a response. "To privatize world peace is to make the private agency a world ruler. That's not peace, that's domination."

You know, a super-hero franchise that starts out with the superhero being the good guy then going through the evolution into bad guy (without ever really changing motivation or most characteristics) could be something to watch...

Psst...Beast. Write that story.

Get a movie contract and write that story. @___@

I didn't get the contract. But, I did just write a Case for it.
