Scribbles About Movies: Captain America- Civil War

Alright so the next movie on my Marvel List was Captain America: Civil War! This isn't the next movie within the MCU to be released after Avengers... but I thought that I could watch this before Ant Man and still enjoy it. Plus this is the oldest Marvel Movie on Netflix, part of me wonders if they'll get rid of it soon and put on Thor: Ragnarock because that would make more sense to me but with deals between Disney and Netflix's streaming services... who knows. Part of me wants to watch ALL of the Marvel Movies... but I might just wait until they're available on Disney's streaming service... because that's something I'm interested in.

So for some reason I always thought of this more as a mini-avengers movie instead of just a Captain America Movie... and I feel like it's half and half. Thor and The Incredible Hulk are not in this... but this is where we're introduced to a few more Avengers. Spider Man is first seen in this movie (I think?), Black Panther and Ant Man came out before this- but this is where a lot of the other characters meet Ant Man. And it's definitely kind of told from the perspective of Captain America with some scenes focusing a little more on Iron Man... so that was a little different than many Avengers movies... but it was still good.

And I feel like the "Teams" are important... Team Iron Man is made up of Black Panther, Black Widow, Spider Man, Vision, and War Machine. On Team Captain America we have Ant Man, The Scarlett Witch,  Hawkeye, Falcon and Bucky. And basically they're fighting because Tony Stark wanted them to sign a paper that was supposed to protect them and protect more people... but it limited what they were able to do... so Captain America's team didn't want to sign it...and it led to some of my favorite fight scenes ever. First off... it's really cool to see a bunch of the most powerful superheroes fighting each other...and they also all really care about each other and they think that what they're doing are the best and that it will ultimately protect the group in the long run. Soooo after sitting on it a few hours... I can see both of their sides... a few hours ago when I first started watching it I was like "Okay... Captain America's right! I don't see how anyone is siding with Iron Man." But looking back- Iron Man had a good point.

And I though the Captain America side was a lot braver... and they were. They had a lot more too lose and they kind of did... spoilers. They were getting in lots of trouble for their choices. I think Ant Man has a kid, Hawkeye has a few kids and a wife... and they're all fighting with some of their closest friends... so it's hard.

This movie was a little slower in comparison to The Avengers. I didn't think it was bad at all... there were just some times when I checked out a little bit... and I don't know how I liked the end that much... it just felt like they wrapped things up a little too easily and not everything was resolved... I think this is maybe my least favorite thing about the MCU so far is the end of the movies... because as epic as everything is the stories can't really wrap up because it's setting up a different move... and then I don't necessarily think that the previous movie is mentioned all that much in it. So... I feel like they kind of build up to something that's a little meh... but still... the movie itself isn't unexciting and I thought the nods to Avengers: Age of Ultron were pretty good. And it did make me excited for watching the next few movies like Black Panther and Spider Man.

So overall... I don't know if I liked this more or less than Age of Ultron. I think I liked it a little less... but I did like the fight scene with all the Avengers a lot and I thought it was pretty good overall.

Hope you guys liked this review... and I don't know what I'll watch next. Probably Guardians of The Galaxy... but I did watch Coco finally... so I might put a review on that first.

Byee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
