Why "Captain America: Civil War" Was A Triumph

"Captain America: Civil War" might just be the best "Captain America" installment. This weekend’s opening came along with a ton of hype, and raving reviews. Combined with its international release a week earlier, "Civil War" has now earned $678.4 million globally, according to USA Today. The film is filled with epic fight battles and incoming Avengers. Although we already knew Steve Rogers or as we know him, Captain America; and Tony Stark who is Iron Man have had some rising tensions since "Avengers: Age of Ultron" when they disagreed on the creation of Ultron. Without too many spoilers, I will try to recap the best parts of the film.

The Premise

"Captain America: Civil War" is the battle between Captain America and Iron Man. After all the deaths and previous attacks, as we’ve seen in the previous films, the UN decides it’s time to keep a watch over the Avengers. Tony Stark agrees to start operating within the law, which we quickly learn it occurs after he is guilt tripped by a civilian who blames him for the death of an innocent boy and partly as an apology to Pepper Potts. Steve Rogers disagrees, and believes the Avengers have done much more for the greater good than anyone else could have done.

This quickly leads to a disagreement which then causes the super-heroes to be split in half. While some Avengers are trying to make peace and others keep a low profile, a terrorist attack at the UN implicates Captain America’s friend Bucky, the Winter Soldier. From here all hell breaks loose and the Civil War begins.

Appearances


We finally meet Spider-Man, or Tom Holland, and Black Panther, or Chadwick Boseman. They are also both on team Iron Man. It was also a great way to introduce them into the Avengers family. But that is not all, we also get a friendly visit from Ant-Man himself. Although Ant-Man stands with team Iron Man, we can’t help but love him. Both Ant-Man and Spider-Man bring some humor into the movie as expected. Ant-Man as we know to be a funny guy does a good job adding levity to tense situations and newbie Spider-Man also does the same during his fight scenes.


But We Have Questions


Where were Thor and The Hulk? Although I myself did not personally miss either, I am sure some fans did. I felt as if I was watching an Avengers film, rather than a Captain America one, perhaps it would have felt way too bloated with them involved as well.

Also, why did Black Panther’s costume give him a Cat-Woman look? Poor guy. Maybe it was the mask? Well, whatever it was, he deserved a much better suit.


Post-Credit Scenes


I mean, is it even a Marvel’s film without scenes in the credits?

Do not leave the theatre when the movie is over. The first clip is a scene that involves Black Panther with a fellow Avenger. The second is of Spider-Man which includes a text statement that reads “Spider-Man will return.”

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
