Ok...just a couple months until movie time. Prediction time. Let's see who's closest.
1) How many characters bite the dust and who?
2) If the Avengers are still an unit after the movie leafing into Infinity War, who's on the team?

I hear people on Facebook complaining that that the cast( especially the fight scene clip) isn't as big as the comics. I remember hearing you guys say that including the entire marvel universe was a huge mistake in the comics.
Somebody elaborate on this, please.

Man, even in the Civil War movie, Iron Man comes off as a massive asshole trying to make his argument. Makes me stand my ground more with Civil War: I'm with Captain America.
Also, SPIDEY!!!!!!!

The Winter Soldier events would show you why its a bad idea for the Government to be in control

The Winter Soldier events would show you why its a bad idea for the Government to be in control Especially when said government has been infiltrated at every level by a long-thought-dead terrorist organization from the second World War.

Curious....why is the Civil War comic storyline so hated? I read all the books (granted VERY late) and loved it! I just never get why its so disliked. They wrote Tony Stark so badly out of character that they had to retcon it later by saying that Extremis had taken over his brain and made him cold and robotic. That's my biggest issue. What should have been a neutral conflict which left fans seeing the merits of both sides pretty much turned into a bunch of assholes vs. Captain America and his team of good people. You also had a fake Thor murdering Goliath, Reed Richards condemning his fellow heroes to a Negative Zone prison knowing full well it impacted their health, and Spider-Man changing sides so he could be a good guy again. It was just a mess.

Really, the only good thing that came out of comics Civil War was the story with Cap's death and Bucky taking over for him.

So, you take a premise that has real ideological questions (in their world at least) and cast the two biggest heroes in the world on either side. Both sides have legitimately powerful and strong arguments, so you don't winde up with a face vs. heel scenario, but one that actually shows some potential nuance as the sides debate whether the dangers of superhero vigilantes should be mitigated by controlling them to prevent unneeded civilian casualties and whether those rare situations are worth stripping away people's freedom and autonomy. Then you flush that away by making one side so cartoonishly villainous that you're sure they edited out a panel where Iron Man and Mister Fantastic tied Miss Marvel to the railroad tracks.

Actually, they left that panel in with the edition I got. Also, Iron Man had a devilish mustache painted on his armor.

Ok...just a couple months until movie time. Prediction time. Let's see who's closest. 1) How many characters bite the dust and who? From what I've heard / read about it... (MAJOR spoilers if true) {Spoiler}They start and end with a funeral. The one at the beginning is for Peggy, the one at the end for Steve. They've also filmed endings with three different people picking up the shield, those three being Bucky, Falcon, and Sharon Carter.

2. Hawkeye
3. Quicksilver, they'll revive him and kill him immediately.
4. Hopefully Black Widow, i'm just getting sick of Scarlett Johanson.
2. If the Avengers are still a unit, who are on the team?
Vision, Scarlet Witch, Thor, Spidey maybe, Falcon and new Captain America

Two are all but confirmed via spoilers: {Spoiler}Peggy Carter and Crossbones And my other guess is Black Widow. 2) I really think the new Avengers lineup is going to be inspired by the West Coast Avengers. Hawkeye, War Machine, Scarlet Witch, Vision, Ant-Man, and the addition of Falcon. I feel like the studio is going to want to keep most of the original team broken up so that they can bring them back together in epic fashion in part 2 of Infinity War. After all, "Avengers Assemble" will mean a lot more when it's followed by the original six standing shoulder to shoulder for the first time in years.

Civil War made Spider-man an absolute idiot with the ID reveal thing solely for a 'big' moment they knew they were reversing in a matter of months since it was just setting up his deal with the devil.
That's one of the reasons I hate it. It set in motion events that made me stop caring about the comics version of my favorite character.

As far as my answers. {Spoiler}Peggy passes away from old age.
Crossbones dies in the explosion the really gets the storyline rolling.
Scarlet Witch dies in the battle with Zemo which leads Vision to leave for space and into Thanos' grasp.
Cap dies after he surrenders following the Zemo battle/Wanda's death. A hypnotized Sharon Carter puts a bullet in him while he's handcuffed.
The remaining team will consist of Bucky Cap, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Ant-Man and maybe War Machine. Spidey is an ally but not full on member.

Answers: {Spoiler}
- Peggy passes on (pretty much confirmed by set photos)
- Crossbones dies (spoiled since his death partially sets off the whole Accords thing)
- Rhodes will not die (too obvious. He'll likely be fitted with cybernetics to keep him alive)
- Black Widow dies at some point during the final melee.
- The New Avengers: Ant-Man, Hawkeye, War Machine, Winter Soldier, Cap. Black Panther is not a full member, but does offer support (namely, giving Cap a new outfit and Bucky a new arm.)

Poor DC. I'm hyped still for Bats v Supes, but two weeks before it comes out, and Marvel says: "Hey guys, look what we got!" This was posted in our Walking Dead thread image Poor, DC. It just cannot win.

DCCU just needs to lighten the frig up, everything is grim dark.
Batman is fine since he & his world is dark but others shouldn't be.
I'm not saying go B&R or Adam West level but damn.
