Movie Meltdown - Episode 348
This week we prepare for Civil
War! Or at least a lengthy discussion of the movie Captain
America: Civil War, as well as how it fits into the
Marvel universe, how it compares to "Batman v Superman"
and what this means for super hero movies in the future.
And as we try to decide if we are
the geeks of yesteryear, we also delve into...
Doctor Strange, Guardians of the
Galaxy, Vulture, Watson/Bilbo, his make-up looks gorgeous, the
battle for New York, The Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos, it's so shiny
and wet looking, old best friend versus new best friend, Spidey
sense, Black Widow, Paul Rudd or Bradley Cooper, hot Aunt May,
Jennifer Lawrence, he's got the arm... he's gotta use the arm,
figuring out what to get Mary Jane for her birthday, leaving marks
on the shield, Agent Hand, The Thunderbolts, a nice big chunky
marshmallow, Gwen Stacy v Mary Jane, Forrest Gump, Chadwick
Boseman, The Kree, Back to School, The Mandarin, nomad Steve
Rogers, War Machine, these are real bonds of friendship, the
stairwell scene, fall in love with and marry Velma, Commander Maria
Hill, pulling a Saw moment, chess game... he had you a hundred
moves ahead of time, I would love to see the gold limbs, Daredevil,
when he kisses Agent 13, fan service, Jennifer Lawrence, rando
wasteland planet, Uncle Tony, Professor X, so much The Raid, how
dopey could that have looked, building a holodeck, retconning the
story, Midtown High School, Agents of Shield, Jessica Jones, Vison
and Wanda, Baron Zemo and our boy is back in our yard.
Spoiler Alert: Full spoilers
for Captain America: Civil War, but we assume by now
you would have seen. If not... do it.
"I feel like people need a
reminder... Captain America and Winter Soldier weren't just
buddies. That was a team... they were a duo."
