Don't think we know that yet. But I assume, since he's just as fast and as strong as Bucky and Cap, that he has more than just the suit.



I mean shite, with the claws, suit and superhuman abilities on par with Cap and Bucky, he's pretty invincible unless you can remove the mask.

But Zemo apologized, basically humanizing him


But the apology came out of nowhere. It seems like he did it because the movie is almost over.

The apology is inconsistent with his character. Through the movie he was killing people, torturing them, setting off bombs. He was very determined to achieve his goal. Then we see him crying, apologizing at the end. Come on, at least be a legit villain with some convictions. Even if you get killed, I can respect you because of it.

Well for sure Captain America is in the wrong against Tony because he did not let Tony make Winter Soldier answer for his crime. The insanity defense holds no water.


Come on. You think the Bucky from The First Avenger would go around killing innocent people? He was brainwashed.

They did a good job keeping it ambiguous

I'm not super up and up with the comics, but panther gods are involved with the mantle and gives him the enhanced speed and strength he needs.

And with Doctor Strange about to enter the picture, magic will have it's rightful place in the MCU.

I just got finished watching it, and I absolutely loved it. Why in the hell it was a Captain America movie and not an Avengers movie I don't know since the whole movie was about the beak up of the Avengers. Plus it was 10x better than the AoU Avengers movie.

Like most people here have already said, they knocked Spiderman out of the park, and Tom Holland nailed the character, and I mean absolutely nailed it. I've been waiting for so long for a version of Spiderman that not only nails the Spiderman that talks and verbally mocks non-stop during his fights, but also nails the awkward inexperienced Peter Parker. I love that they made his so young, so we can get that Peter Parker. I can't wait for Homecoming.

And Antman was awesome as well. Like most have also said, Rudd's dialog and interactions with the group as a whole was outstanding. But not only that, the way that they used him during the fight as basically and extension of their attack (like hiding him on Cap's shield and on the projectile). made for some great action sequences on his part. I thought it was pretty funny when it showed him running to the edge when he was shrunk, and it took him forever to get there. But I nearly lost it when he grew to Giant Man. I intentionally tried to avoid has many spoilers as possible, so the Giant Man sequence was a complete surprise for me.

Saw it today and it was pretty good. Like what's been said numerous times, Spiderman, Black Panther, and Ant Man were phenomenal. Showing what all Falcon could do was awesome too. Didn't realize that was Marisa Tomei as Aunt May until after the credits.

Crossbones on the other hand was wasted and was nothing more than a throw away villain. If I had one big complaint about the movie, it was the use of Crossbones.

This was for me the best super hero movie I've ever seen. I wasn't sure how they would fit all those characters into one movie but they did a brilliant job of touching on each one. We finally have a great Spider Man and I can't wait to see his stand-alone movie. Marvel was smart to put everything under one roof instead of letting different studios make their movies.

Bonus: Aunt May is fine and not 90yrs old.

1. It's rare to have a fight sequence captivate me as a grown arse man the way that the airport sequence did. THAT is why I continue to go to these comic book movies, for that feeling of being a kid again.

2. It is damn near unheard of to have two fight sequences do that in one movie. The fight between Bucky, Stark, and Cap was akin to watching a critical drive in the waning seconds of a huge football game; you know you're watching something important take place and that is a testament to the job that the directors and writers did to get the story and the relationships to that point.

3. Loved the foreshadow with Bucky holding the shield. Honestly thought for a minute that Steve was going to die and Bucky was taking over.

4. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel watching what was for all intents and purposes an Avengers movie without Hulk and Thor in it. But holy hell if T'Challa and Spidey don't completely nail their characters. Left the theater excited for both of their individual movies and had completely forgotten Thor and Hulk were even in the picture except for the time or two when they were mentioned in the movie.

5. WE ARE GOING TO GET THE DEADPOOL/SPIDEY BUDDY COP FILM FROM HELL THAT WE DESERVE!!!!!!!

Combination of mystic powers and technology.

The panther god in Wakanda bestows mystical powers upon the chosen warrior who wears the black panther mantel. Enhanced strength, speed, agility, etc...

Also the technology of Wakanda surpasses pretty much everywhere else on the planet, and of course the king gets the best stuff.

While I would love this too many things in the way.

The new spidey is going to be way too young for any team up with Deadpool. Also each property is in different studios currently.

Just saw it.

Had low expectations because O really thought they were going to try to do too much and with that many characters it would feel disjointed with a lot of action and no plot. Basically I was afraid it would be a transformers movie.

Thank goodness I was wrong. They nailed it. I thought it equaled Winter Soldier.


I guess if I want to nit pick...Zemo was kind of a weak villain and could have been better developed, but I get that he was basically just the MacGuffin used to get to the main conflict within the Avengers.

Eh, by the time the studios can get it worked out, Holland will be at least college aged. The personality of this Spidey is PERFECT for Deadpool's humor.

He would have killed Bucky with no remorse.

I know it is not a popular opinion, but I've always found Tony to be one of the most unlikable superheroes. Though that may be the point.

Just watched and loved it. If I had to nitpick, the first act drug a little. I think the winter soldier was a much more complete movie with better pacing. My top three marvel movies are now:

1. Winter soldier
2. Deadpool
3. Civil war

If the kid version of me saw this movie, I would have done everything I could to see it over and over again, just to watch all the "super powers" displayed in that airport scene.

Everyone got some quality time, and there was a huge cool factor. I'm sure me and my friends would have then picked characters and had adventures (or who could beat who discussions).
