re: So. I'll just leave this here RE: Captain America:Civil War

Sorry.

I liked BvS, but CW did pretty much the same thing so much better. Hell, even the villain's motivations (which, again, are seeking essentially the same outcome as Luthor's) make more sense in CW.

It is a better, well crafted, more entertaining movie. Period.

NOW...had there been a few more movies that developed the BvS characters AS THEY WERE IN THAT MOVIE as a "set up" as was the case in CW, opinions about the movie might be different and more positive.

People might be willing to accept killer Batman if the Robin storyline had been fleshed out, as well as filling in the gaps over the last 10-15 years. Diana/WW's "mystique" and role might not have been viewed as "forced" (despite the widespread praise for Gadot's work in the movie). Had there been an MOS2, there could have been more flesh on Supe's/Clark's bones to explain his attitude in this movie.

Notwithstanding people's problems with Snyder's style and darkness, BvS was rushed because the MCU was kicking DC's dick in the dirt. If Suicide Squad, WW and the free standing Batman are of quality (since they are NOT Snyder versions), they might actually serve to give some context to BvS and people will appreciate it more in the future. But that is a dumb fricking way to roll out a cohesive universe.
