GGG Spot: Civil War- The Comics and Upcoming Film
May 6th is coming up quickly, and we are so excited for the next installment to the MCU with ‘Captain America: Civil War.’
Chris leads the Civil War Spot with Dan and Tyler backing him up. Not only has the film been widely considered the most anticipated movie of the year, but ticket sales for the first day have already exceeded all of the past MCU films and we are 2 weeks away!
WARNING! We may go into spoiler territory!
Film Synopsis:
Political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability when the actions of the Avengers lead to collateral damage. The new status quo deeply divides members of the team. Captain America (Chris Evans) believes superheroes should remain free to defend humanity without government interference. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) sharply disagrees and supports oversight. As the debate escalates into an all-out feud, Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) must pick a side.

A lot has led up to the events in ‘Civil War.’ Before you watch the movie we suggest you watch: Iron Man 2 & 3, Captain America 1 & 2, Avengers 1 & 2, and the Marvel One Shots from Phase 1.
Comic Event Synopsis from ‘Civil War’ issues 1-7:
In a battle between Nitro and the New Warriors, Nitro exploded, seemingly killing the entire team and a huge number of civilians (including 60 school children nearby). This led the United States government to introduce a “Living Weapon of Mass Destruction” registry for all super-powered individuals. Most heroes were divided on the issue, and a Civil War ensued.
Events from ‘Secret Wars’ issues 1-5, ‘Fantastic Four’ issue 533, ‘Incredible Hulk vol. 2 #91-92
The Superhuman Registration Act had been a long time in the making. The logical extension of the often-proposed, never-passed Mutant Registration Act, the Superhuman Registration Act arose following the devastating attack on Manhattan in reprisal for Nick Fury’s “Secret War” and the Hulk’s destructive rampage in Las Vegas, which killed 26 adults, 2 children, and a dog (unbeknownst to the general public, the Illuminati subsequently deceived the Hulk and jettisoned him into space following this incident).
‘Amazing Spider-Man’ issues 529-531
Tony Stark (Iron Man) was among those working to prevent passage of the act. He even hired a new Titanium Man to attack him immediately after his testimony before the Commission on Superhuman Activities, hoping it would hammer home that the act would make the nation less capable of dealing with rogue or foreign superhuman threats. The anti-registration camp seemed to be making headway, and may have even defeated the bill by the narrowest of margins, if not for the events that took place in Stamford, Connecticut.
