Lost in the Crossfire: A Review of Civil War

There is no story without context. That is something that always plays on repeat when approaching a story. Make sure it is clearly noted why this story on display matters and exactly why it is important.

Civil War does absolutely none of that and it took me right out of the movie. It sets in this warn torn America where the government is on the verge of collapse. This plot sounds like a very interesting concept. What if America had a second Civil War? What would be the root cause?

We don't get any of those answers. Which is what a story like this should give us. We know there are states formed together to be called The Western Forces, California, and Texas are independent and there is a place in the South known as The Florida Alliance.

That is all the political information we get as a core set of war journalists embark to try and interview the president before he is killed. The movie is well acted, of course, but there is no substance to the story. There is no point in caring about the characters because we don't know how this all came to be.

Had their been something in the early stages to let us know what political turmoil led to all of this Civil War would have been an easy contender for one of the years best. Now what it seemed like was a typical run and gun video game with a simple story of "enemy bad".

If the idea was to remain politically ambiguous to play cot, it truly backfired. They did not have to lean into a particular party to piss anyone off, but there should have been some form of extreme idealism that led to an uprising. We get a small glimpse that some things of political structure have changed. Such as the two term ideas, and we learn the FBI had been disbanded. We don't know why this came to be. We know nothing about how the new factions are governed. We know nothing about laws anywhere in the US at all. They skipped out on all the important details so we could get a front-line war correspondence view from the home front.

This, for me, has to be the biggest misfire from a film in 2024. It has the perfect concoction of ideas to really make a hard-hitting statement. What we got still could have remained, but all they had to do was lean into some reason for it all. In an age where we have so much freedom of expression, this film says absolutely nothing.

I don't think I pulled the back screw tight enough and now the back is a bit loose #I can probably fix it but I can also ignore it for the next 18 years #thats how long the old chair held up!! in germany it could now drink vodka and drive a car!!#not at the same time that is illegal! not at the same time!! (❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ*#but the day is not over yet my uncle asked me for a big art quest and I do not want to disappoint #he wants a muppet tattoo and asked me to draw it #my uncle has started to get tattoos a few months ago #as far as I know he has now gotten 3 note clefs 3 stars a flower and multiple birds #he also started getting piercings but so far I managed not to know exactly where #I think tattoos are super cool (´｡･v･｡｀) I wish I had a good idea for a tattoo but the last time I was very sure about getting a tattoo #it was heath ledgers face as the joker #at that point I was 12 and would not see the actual movie for two more years #a muppet tattoo is a way better idea!! he asked for the count van count! that is also one of my top 3 muppets ₍՞◌′ᵕ‵ू◌₎♡#I always thought I knew a lot about muppet lore but since I started looking up muppet pictures I think there are still a lot of secrets #can the muppets from the Sesame Street actually leave the Sesame Street?#I think Kermit is both on the Muppet Show and on Sesame Street but he is also like the boss muppet #he might have special abilities #I hope you're having a good day friends!!

the reason poolverine is so appealing is also because in all of his two-decade run in the xmcu they have given logan some of the most boring and rushed relationships with women (because it was the 2000s and the mold that they followed for rugged manly protagonists meant an astounding lack of chemistry between them and their love interests in favor of giving them the "dead wife who has a montage at the beginning of the movie" treatment etc etc) and then they put him in a 2 hour long film with a guy even more insane and fucked up than him and they matched each other beat for beat. say what you want about the mcu but they achieved a level of chemistry between logan and wade that fox couldn't reach in 20 years with like four different love interests. which is also a petition for them to either go the gay route or finally let logan find a woman he has good chemistry with and who can pass the bechdel test

#the only who came close to having good chemistry with logan was mariko and i could tell because when i watched the wolverine #and i saw them kiss i didn't have the same visceral disappointment i did whenever jean showed up in her dead wife attire #and like that film is meh but out of all of logan's love interests i liked her the most #she was a good character and they had good interactions #but even then can you even compare that to wade and logan on their film #anyways if you can't tell i am rewatching some stuff with the newly added context of the new movie #logan howlett #xmcu #poolverine #(also this is only about the movies i know nothing about the comics don't come at me)
