@Kim Chaussin: Batman and Superman almost never fight in canon, and when they do it's extremely brief. DC does a lot of stupid shit, way more than Marvel, but superhero gang wars are pretty squarely in Marvel's court.
@Nos Rin: Seriously? You've never seen DC Comics trying to force conflict for the sake of conflict? I've seen Superman fighting Captain Marvel and/or Batman so many time that I'm pretty sure there's a DC editor out there who's actually sexually aroused every time that happens.
@Runic SSB: totally agree. I found it annoying. This is further example of why I prefer DC over marvel. I constantly hear about marvel heroes always butting heads, but from personal experience I've almost never seen that in DC.
@Timothy Du: Just watched the trailer; looks really good, and (like you said) nothing like the comic. They actually have a good reason to be at odds and no one's being an asshole.
@Runic SSB: Fortunately, it doesn't resembled teh comic storyline and mostly focused on arresting Winter Soldier.
Like Wanted, which the comic was about Supervillains with ending of protagonist sodomizing the audience and horrible as movie, they wanted to avoid Mark Millar's comics.
I'm still pissed that they're seriously adapting this. Civil War was a shitty arc that started two awful trends; major events where heroes fight each other instead of the villains, and Captain America being a violent bully.
You're right, Jo. Even moreso in the comics, since in those Cap isn't super-strong; he's just as strong as a human can possibly be without being superhuman, which still isn't enough to take on Iron Man.
Well, Tony could also just equip a lethal weapon and shoot him. That's not the point, really. Plus, Captain already proved to be able to punch metal multiple times in his comics. Hey, superpowers. Can't really bring logic into it.
(cont) and then there's the situation of him using those together (Tony's a smart guy, he'll think of something like this). Use the Hulkbuster as a strongpoint, bring up airborne iron legion forces to flush Cap's team out of hiding and towards the massive hulkbuster, with air support.
(-cont) none of which have much reach to them relative to Iron Man being able to go airborne and use that against Cap, nor the raw strength to compete with the Iron Man armor if Tony just decides to cut his losses and fly off, repair or switch armors, and come back, or even level the area. (cont)
To be honest, there's an even bigger set of problems.
1: Iron Legion. Come on, we gotta see this.
2: "Veronica". How is cap gonna fight against that beast?
3: Aerial superiority: Cap shows a preference for pistols, fisticuffs, and shield-throwing (Cont)
