Superheroes usually manage to roll back the various apocalypses but rarely use their powers to build a better world. The villains are the ones constantly dre...
The only good part of that movie was T'Challa's arc, which is legitimately compelling. Everything else was poorly adapted nonsense compared to the source material. The "civil war" is a zero-stakes boxing match in an airport lmao
Yeah, but I don't think they could have adapted the comic ending where the Pro-Registration and Anti-Registration sides fight in the middle of Manhattan causing untold amounts of property damage
Captain America gets Iron Man on the ropes and is about to finish him off when a group of policemen, firefighters and EMT's run up and tackle him "Being all like, no don't kill Iron Man, he's a real hero like us!"
Captain America looks around at the destruction and is all like "Well shit, this isn't what I wanted" and gives up
Then on the way to his trial, Crossbones gives Cap the ol' Jack Ruby treatment, but then it turned out that Crossbones was a distraction and the Red Skull had hypnotized Sharon Carter to kill Cap instead
I don't disagree with your larger point, but let's not pretend the comic arc was anything even remotely good to begin with. Tony Stark started off as an egotistical billionaire arms dealer and that arc still managed to character assassinate him by being just cartoonishly fash (well, beyond the baseline background fashiness of course).
It was even more funny because in the context of the Treat Cinematic Universe, Captain America actually did have some decent reasons to be hesitant about it (which is to say a significant amount of government bodies recently having a literal decades long SuperNazi infiltration) but instead the reasons he gave in his argument were...
'Actually me and my friends are all morally infallible even when we destroy things and maybe kill civilians on accident so how dare you say we should be accountable to anyone but ourselves.'
At the end, Captain America has a speech where he's like "listen, I know we disagree and I'm sorry my best friend killed your dad, but give me a call when the status quo is threatened and I'll be there"
And even though the oversight team wins there isn't a single scene where the UN influences the Avengers at all, Thanos shows up then the avengers do whatever they want to stop him
They also had to undergo actual training in regards to their powers and tactics
Because a group of young, untrained heroes tried to fight a man who's power is literally "A suicide bomber who doesn't die from exploding" next to an elementary school and then got themselves and 300 kids exploded
Yeah, I remember the whole "We made clones of the kid we accidentally killed in the training camp" thing
Also the whole "Yeah, we brought back Slapstick as a manic little monster, what are you gonna do about it?" thing
Would have been interesting if they expanded on the whole 50 States Initiative thing where every state got a superhero team, but we can't expect comic book writers to run with a good idea every time can we?

Comics!

I haven't actually read the comic (or any comics really) so I'll take your word for it :stuff:

okay dude

At least in the comics there was the element of conflict added that they had to give up their secret identities
They also had to undergo actual training in regards to their powers and tactics
Because a group of young, untrained heroes tried to fight a man who's power is literally "A suicide bomber who doesn't die from exploding" next to an elementary school and then got themselves and 300 kids exploded
Depends what you were reading, because the editors coordinated nothing.
Yeah, I remember the whole "We made clones of the kid we accidentally killed in the training camp" thing

I mean in the movies none of them actually have secret identities.
