Batman v Superman provided actual depth into the Christ analogy.... especially when you view Lex as the Devil, Superman as Christ, Doomsday as the Antichrist, and Batman as the nonbeliever. Also it opened up so many possibilities to how the DCEU can go.
Civil War is arguably the most bottled up MCU film that opened up or set up nothing except be a properly well made advertisement for a Black Panther solo film. It was mostly a filler film with actual stakes made at the last minute.
As much as a controversial character take on Lex Luthor, his strategy and being behind all the manipulations to stage up a war between Batman and Superman was more sinister and worthy of villainy than Zemo who had identical agenda to so-called manipulate a war between the Avengers. The only thing I disagree is how Doomsday was executed... it could of been done better... but the actions that Zemo was doing was so random and made little sense, especially when all he really needed to do in the 1st place was to send the tape to Stark.
I saw this in the comment section of a article.
Lex had a motivation that was good. His father beat him severely, which gave huge low self-esteem, and pled for a god-like being to save him who didn't come. He hates Superman because there were beings like him who could've saved him.
Also there was something on reddit showing how the end of BvS fight was a take on Excalibur
They are about the same for me. Have to see the directors cut of BvS to really decide who I thought carried the theme better.
One thing to point out is how the Avengers were congratulated at first but years later people started to care about the casualties whereas it was more instant in the DC films
This is true
I had problems with it as well. I argued with many DC brehs and
@MartyMcFly about it. It wasn't until I watched the movie again and started (finally) watched Justice League Unlimited that some of it made sense to me. There was an episode of Superman destroying buildings left and right just by being "active"
You should be Negged for this shyt as well
But yeah, Civil war was cool. More for the simple cats that aren't really THAT familiar with the comics but can just watch without needing much explanation
The character motivations were incredibly simple... He/they killed my family, he's my friend, he signed the accords... That's it.
But it was cool because of the action and seeing BP and the new Spider-Man. Not sure if I'll go see it again though, But still a dope movie. Score wise I have it slightly above BvS (and that's mainly because of Lex Luthor in BvS being a clown).
Better than Ultron for sure
I think Civil War is the better movie. But nothing from it stayed with me. BvS there were themes throughout that made me think more about it.
Maybe personal preference cause I'm a huge Batman fan.
I really enjoyed both movies. Civil War for its action and pace. BvS because of the lore and mystery.
BvS downfall is that it bites more than it can chew. Particularly in a 2hr 30 min movie and 30 mins pulled out 3 months before its release.
Civil War knew what it wanted to be and thus everything just flowed better.
note and answered everything.
, not that Civil War is perfect of course, but it was light years away a much better movie.
what scenes were these?
