In terms of narrative ambition, and giving meaningful screen time to an ever-growing stable of onscreen characters, Civil War rivals Joss Whedon's MCU standout The Avengers. (We'll get into all that in a later piece, once more people have seen the film.) And its storytelling is similarly complicated, and not always successful. Civil War's internal politics, and its symbolic ones, are deeply complicated. And it's no surprise that both modes inform each other. It's no surprise that one of these modes is much more fun than the other. In the other mode, they get pissed because communications have broken down, and they find creative, involved, and very immediate ways to beat the ever-living crap out of each other. They explore the principles they operate on, and sincerely try to communicate them to each other. In one, heroes have quiet, sincere talks about their personal beliefs and intentions.
Most of Captain America: Civil War breaks down into two storytelling modes.
