It's a big moment but it made no damn sense. He just had to reveal his identity to the GOVERNMENT. They never said anything about the public. Peter basically just put himself and all his loved ones at risk for no reason
Well of course Tony Stark and Reed Richards don't have a problem with the "Super Hero Registration Act" THEY DON'T HAVE SECRET IDENTITIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Iron Man had a secret identity for forty years in the comics. It was only two years before Civil War when he revealed it because he was saving some kid's dog.
Or the bad bus driver driving at that time,near and when there is a fight,and not following safety rules,and the civilians for always overreacting,and the villains
Captain America stands by what's "the right decision", despite the consequences, and feels that no one's rights should be revoked. Iron Man weighs the options and tries to choose what's best for the most people, even if it's unfair to the superhuman minority.
Wait what happened to him? I just came from a reddit thread asking opinions regarding movie vs comic civil war and became interested in comic civil war so I went here first because it seemed very long and I didn't want to read through all of it.

Civil War is pretty much satisfying. The whole storyline and tie-ins are equally interesting. The tie-ins here a must-read. I love the Young Avengers & Runaways, Frontline, Choosing Sides, Wolverine and Thunderbolts. I love the stories of Penance (once Speedball), Hulkling & Wiccan and even Deadpool & Cable fooling around the conflict.
I actually shed a tear hearing this story. All of the superheros we love and look up to, they are battling and killing each other. It's horrible because this can actually be true in our real world and I hope we never come to that catastrophic realization
Captain America was never in prison at the end of civil war, he was killed by Crossbones on the steps of a court house when he was going to face a trial
No that is the story Death of Captain America. At the end of Civil War he was being hauled off. Two different stories, Death of Captain America is the follow up to this
I liked the part where the woman spit on Tony,cause it kinda sparks the entire event. That woman most probably lost her kid and she reacted how any parent would.
I'm so glad that you were able to clarify as to how the world doesn't know Spidey is Peter anymore. I'm a little lost in the marvel arks and it's really nice to have channels like these to explain them with captivating narrations.
@@stevenkollin4409 That comment did not age well. They showed with their Thanos-Plotline spread out over multiple movies how you can actually do it... if only they had done that for this movie....
My favorite thing about captain America is that he isn’t just America’s poster boy like everyone thinks he has his own agendas and his own ideals and is willing to go against the government for the greater good
I personally think Captain America is right... I would never trust a gov. that can control super humans. And if it weren't for the heroes intervening in the first place more people would have died. I agree that there has to be consequences but giving gov. the control is going in the wrong direction. For every non-moral super-villian there will be a superhero that will oppose them. "the best hands are still there own." You don't get to label superhumans as all non-moral because a few people died..
Exactly, if they killed a few humans. We kill each other all the time. Attempting genocide to name one. Normal people are more of a threat to people than super humans. So what would happen if normal humans took control of the super humans? See capt Americas point? Done and done, no need to argue any further. I just completely murdered this argument. Cheers 🍻
I'm trying to get through the Runaway's Civil War arc and I needed a refresher on the main story. You guys are amazing, keep doing awesome stuff like this.
I had these comics back in the day. I have to say, the way you describe it (plus the slide show) make it even more exciting than it was actually reading the comics lol
To think that a big part of this plot could have been avoided if the heroes were not forced to reveal their identities in public... Honestly, wasn't it just enough to register into shield without also having their identities exposed?
***** The Problem with that is, the Government is always being hacked and had their secrets leaked, which is why having regular heroes registering would also mean signing their own death certificate if or when they cross paths with villains that hold a grudge, the SHRA also alludes that the Registered heroes will be used as Government Resources, which means some would play bodyguard to a politician, while others would be used to wage wars with other nations to protect the government's interests. In a separate issue, Uatu showed both Tony two other possible outcomes of the SHRA, one is which the Heroes are strictly controlled by the government and used as "Peacekeeping Weapons of Mass Destruction", while the other had the SHRA used in a different way, with only Captain America having the knowledge of each Heroes' identity and establishing a training facility for up-and-coming would-be-heroes not unlike Avenger's Academy.
The public’s argument was that the heroes could be anybody and that they needed to be held responsible, much like how a public official would. If just the government/SHIELD knew their identities, they’d still be upset and wouldn’t have solved the core issue
Thank you. I read comic books up until ~1977. Cap, Thor, and Avengers comic-books were my favorites. I was so glad that they started making these movies about my childhood heroes, but I quit reading them before all of this happened and I was really curious as to what caused all of this. I can't wait to see what other videos you have to offer. Thanks again, oh, and I did subscribe!
ive read the comics, and ive listened to comics explained(love it) but i really enjoyed how well you told the story in 13 min. Fantastic, New Subscriber
Iron Man actually wants to talk before fighting for once, but NOOO Cap has to EMP him. If that never happened, the rest probably would've been avoided with a good negotiation.
have you read injustice? it is so good and it's fantastic. if you wanted a full out war with nearly EVERY DC character that is the comic book series to read.
Honestly I think it's fine when it happens yeah we want a lot of heroes but the mcu just cant go hiring a bunch if people to play heroes that alot of pay checks plus civil war happens to build the plot for infinity war and endgame
A very underrated moment in Civil War: Tony Stark has arrested Daredevil and takes him to the Negative Zone, all the while babbling about his reasoning for siding with the government and trying to convince Daredevil that his actions were for the greater good, and asking for both forgiveness and asking Daredevil to talk, who's completely silent. One of the guards tells Tony that Daredevil has a Silver Dollar to give him, and when Tony is confused by this, Daredevil just says: "Guess that's 31 pieces of silver you've got now, huh? Sleep well, Judas"
Same for me I started with this and couldn't stop his voice was perfect his narration for each video was always better than the comic he knew how to make you immersed into the story I'll miss his videos so much, rest in peace ben
I think the MCU will do a good job of the story with what they have. Getting Spiderman in is a huge boost not only to the story but for the rest of phase 3.
In all honesty, this entire situation could've been resolved in one session if everyone just put their egos aside and talked this out like adults. You'd think they'd do that too considering the circumstances that led up to the Super Hero Registration Act.
What did Tony planned?what did that lil thirsty hoe for thor plan and do when a hero's were fighting,does marvel know wht to do with shield,are they the bad guys or the annoying lil critters
TechoXero all this could have been avoided if 1) Maria hill didn’t try to have Cap shot BEFORE the bill passed 2) Mariam Sharp wasn’t a total bitch 3) Tony Stark wasn’t an asshole 4) Everyone just shut up, sit down, and talk
Grimdarkwolf Plus the enforcement of the law was totally wrong. When a real law passed people have time to comply to it and it passes by a certain date, not immediately afterwards. Starting a fight with the Cap’n before the law even passed was stupid af
Ive always loved your detailed breakdowns of comics, it always made my very long drives for work alot more enjoyable. RIP and my condolences to your family 😪
Honestly, this whole story was fucked. Iron Man was being unreasonable and wasn't necessarily understanding the lives behind the mask. But yet fucking Iron Man won, and Cap dies after this. Keep in mind because of this public identity shit this caused Aunt May to be SHOT cause of Spider Man's identity. Team Cap
Joseph Capellan Cap pretty much had that same talk with the commander hill, he doesn't agree with people giving up their identity. Like I said, Aunt May got shot because of Spider-Mans identity going public.
They really didn't. The only thing similar is Cap vs Iron Man and the whole hero vs hero thing. They should've waited til they got more characters like the X-Men and fantastic 4 in the MCU and then make the movie because it's supposed to be this huge war between every hero and villain there is. They can probably still do it but just title it civil war instead of captain America civil war
I mean don't get me wrong it's a good movie but it doesn't feel Civil War level conflict considering they only fought one day and then it was over, but at the time they didn't have a lot to work with but they could've just waited instead of trying to use what they got
But if they make another Civil War Movie, There would be more Differences. Examples: In the Comic Spider-Man was the one to Reveal his Identity Spider-Man: Far From Home, Mysterio Revealed Spider-Man’s Secret Identity. The MCU Contracts for Actors and Actresses like Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlet Johansson, and maybe even Jeremy Renner will already Expire. And the last one for now being the Moment where Frank Castle saves Peter Parker, will they be able to use The Punisher in the Movie? I ask this because There had been some Controversy with the Character Earlier this Year.
@@thomaspanditfan2435 What I mean was that they could've made a actual big civil war event in the future after they've introduced more characters. They could've titled this something else.
It's funny, this comic is hailed by so many people as a magnificent story, but to me... I dunno, the whole thing seems kinda weak. Tony Stark essentially turning into Stalin, locking away all dissidents in a parallel-dimension-gulag, the entire world turning against the entire metahuman community over a single (Admitedly horrific) accident, all these superheroes seemingly having no qualms whatsoever in trying to kill eachother (then again, superheroes fighting eachother as much as fighting villains is par for the course in the Marvel Universe), the whole story leading into One More Day Spiderman story(And the less said about that atrocity, the better), and the pro-registration side being portrayed as being in the right, when metahuman registration is pretty much the exact thing that the X-men have been battling against since their inception!
It's true, everyone was grossly out of character and though the story had a good theme, it just kind of fell flat. It's not that good, but it is one of the most memorable.
Jay Williams Simple disagreement? This was their lives and the lives of their families and loved ones, that is no simple disagreement. The fact that Captain America, a man who's only motivation is his love for America and his willingness to do anything to be able to fight for it, goes against America, you should probably start looking at what you are doing.
This video really got me into marvel comics and these characters and knowing that the voice and maker passed sucks. RIP Ben thanks for the Comicstorian videos and stories.
ItaliaeHellas It's like Captain America knew that and attacked Iron Man without thinking about his attacks, don't know how that would work but it did OR, ...nvm idk
I felt he should of included that in. Think that was such an important fact behind Iron Man's loss against Captain America, only because Cap is pretty hopeless without anyone's help.
I like how the civilians here are crying over their city being destroyed when this is caused by them being selfish about the hero who litterally face death everyday not wanting to put everyone they know in danger. The ACT was basically on the same level as broadcasting every secret agent identities on the internet. It'll only make hero want to be hero alot less.
@@zyonthelickman I mean, I get the sentiment but remember that literally not long after this, Spiderman's grandmother was sniped and was going to die over this. You can understand why people who fight villains with powers that can blow up a building don't want any chance of their love ones being held hostage or murdered. Or them to be murdered in their sleep.
Now that you mentioned it, I noticed that most superheroes lives in New York, and even if it's not in New York, it would take place at least in a fictional version of New York.
nega-venom They just like to have an excuse to destroy famous buildings I guess lol Or maybe it's cause New York is a very big city with lots of different businesses and types of people that make it easy for heroes to blend in.
Douche Bag No idea, but I do remember that sentry is supposed to be godlike so they probs removed him because he is too op. Well I did not read it but that is what I think what happened :)
I love this channel, I never read Civil War but now it is one of the comic storylines that is on my list to read besides both Secret Wars, Magneto Testament, all Superman Rebirth and Infinite Frontier, Dark Nights Metal and Death Metal and 52 so I am caught up to speed on both Marvel and DC
I'm not a reader, but my friend told me civil war would be a good place to hop in. MY GOD it was even more emotional and carried a lot more weight than the MCU's Civil War. It had me crying and laughing OUT LOUD.
Instead of "Civil War" they all should have agreed to retire, and then when the supervillains, get out of hand let the people beg for their aid, just to be like "Well, we aren't above the law".
Spiderman unmasking is still one of the most iconic moments in comic history
synx but because of that "iconic moment" we got One More Day
Yes, because it was so stupid and they had no plan for it. There really is no story that goes with it. It's a stupid way to do it, too.

Civil War is pretty much satisfying. The whole storyline and tie-ins are equally interesting. The tie-ins here a must-read. I love the Young Avengers & Runaways, Frontline, Choosing Sides, Wolverine and Thunderbolts. I love the stories of Penance (once Speedball), Hulkling & Wiccan and even Deadpool & Cable fooling around the conflict.
Yes except for spider-man sadly after he took off his mask to the public
I actually shed a tear hearing this story. All of the superheros we love and look up to, they are battling and killing each other. It's horrible because this can actually be true in our real world and I hope we never come to that catastrophic realization
The Black guy always dies first...
+WellNowWhat
lol Hood References AF
Technically, Namorita died first.
England is my GodChurch with the new warriors and a town of people.
I thought those people at that school bus died first?
WellNowWhat 7:37 BROTHA DOWN!
This was my first Comicstorian video I’ve ever watched, rip the realest. Thank you for all the videos. My condolences to your family and friends 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Captain America was never in prison at the end of civil war, he was killed by Crossbones on the steps of a court house when he was going to face a trial
No that is the story Death of Captain America. At the end of Civil War he was being hauled off. Two different stories, Death of Captain America is the follow up to this
Comicstorian it was titled Civil War, Epilogue. It counts as part of the Civil War storyline
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSTED lol #akward

Hugh Jarsole u dumb fuck
I liked the part where the woman spit on Tony,cause it kinda sparks the entire event. That woman most probably lost her kid and she reacted how any parent would.
yeah, like the civil war movie
And tony should have punched her face in then and there..
Really, I think you liked it because it breaks up the boring monotony of this lame storyline with some sexiness.
Also lame and dumb considering the planet wouldnt exist if it werent for tony and the superheroes
Dude you are so good at narrating this stuff, I feel like im watching an actual movie
10:08
iron Man has sentry
game over
Ikr i was like that fight should've ended sooner than it did
@@twizzlerlemonpie3083 yeah Sentry is quite overpowered
He literally did nothing.
That sentry might be a cyborg

Thank you so much Benny for all of these years ❤️❤️
This is the 1st video that invested me in your channel & comics books again as a whole. Thank you so much Benny, I'll truly miss you 😢
My brother and I watch this video a couple of times. This was a great Marvel comic and video. Rest in peace Ben. 🙏🙏🕊️🕊️
I'm so glad that you were able to clarify as to how the world doesn't know Spidey is Peter anymore.
I'm a little lost in the marvel arks and it's really nice to have channels like these to explain them with captivating narrations.
It's a shame the cinematic version of Civil War won't come close to being as big as the comic version.
It's hard to put that many superheroes and flesh them all out in movies
+Phil Adams They're probably gonna take out the kids dying because it's too dark. A lot of things as well most likely
There's way too much stuff. especially build ups
+Phil Adams My brother is predicting they might do something in Agents of SHEILD.
@@stevenkollin4409 That comment did not age well. They showed with their Thanos-Plotline spread out over multiple movies how you can actually do it... if only they had done that for this movie....
when spiderman said tony i thought you said you had this under control an captain america civil war ad popped up
My favorite thing about captain America is that he isn’t just America’s poster boy like everyone thinks he has his own agendas and his own ideals and is willing to go against the government for the greater good
This video sky-rocketed in views recently, i wonder why....
+dragonofdarknes4 You know why baby.... CA:CW Trailer!!!
Which was unbelievably great.
+Captain Rodgers Yeah but the movie will never live up to the comics
+Larry Jake You mean it could be worse than that dreck? I hope not.
+Larry Jake i don't think they would ever film a scene in which a school blows up
punklover99 except in a drama or historical movie
I personally think Captain America is right... I would never trust a gov. that can control super humans. And if it weren't for the heroes intervening in the first place more people would have died. I agree that there has to be consequences but giving gov. the control is going in the wrong direction. For every non-moral super-villian there will be a superhero that will oppose them. "the best hands are still there own." You don't get to label superhumans as all non-moral because a few people died..
Exactly, if they killed a few humans. We kill each other all the time. Attempting genocide to name one. Normal people are more of a threat to people than super humans. So what would happen if normal humans took control of the super humans? See capt Americas point? Done and done, no need to argue any further. I just completely murdered this argument. Cheers 🍻
kwang-won Chung Tony was right at first but then he went freakin crazy
Same
@Jay Talents Someone doesn't understand the concept of natural rights. Government does not give rights it only takes them away
I supported Captain America in the Civil War
Bro was my childhood rip
I'm trying to get through the Runaway's Civil War arc and I needed a refresher on the main story. You guys are amazing, keep doing awesome stuff like this.
I had these comics back in the day. I have to say, the way you describe it (plus the slide show) make it even more exciting than it was actually reading the comics lol
Lol true its more exciting hearing him than me reading it
To think that a big part of this plot could have been avoided if the heroes were not forced to reveal their identities in public... Honestly, wasn't it just enough to register into shield without also having their identities exposed?
That's probably what they'll do in the film
***** But 1 of the conditions that the movement required, was to reveal the identities of the heroes to the citizens in public...
***** The Problem with that is, the Government is always being hacked and had their secrets leaked, which is why having regular heroes registering would also mean signing their own death certificate if or when they cross paths with villains that hold a grudge, the SHRA also alludes that the Registered heroes will be used as Government Resources, which means some would play bodyguard to a politician, while others would be used to wage wars with other nations to protect the government's interests. In a separate issue, Uatu showed both Tony two other possible outcomes of the SHRA, one is which the Heroes are strictly controlled by the government and used as "Peacekeeping Weapons of Mass Destruction", while the other had the SHRA used in a different way, with only Captain America having the knowledge of each Heroes' identity and establishing a training facility for up-and-coming would-be-heroes not unlike Avenger's Academy.
The public’s argument was that the heroes could be anybody and that they needed to be held responsible, much like how a public official would. If just the government/SHIELD knew their identities, they’d still be upset and wouldn’t have solved the core issue
Thank you. I read comic books up until ~1977. Cap, Thor, and Avengers comic-books were my favorites. I was so glad that they started making these movies about my childhood heroes, but I quit reading them before all of this happened and I was really curious as to what caused all of this. I can't wait to see what other videos you have to offer. Thanks again, oh, and I did subscribe!
Bro the part where you tell how affected both sides are from Goliath's death and the music in the background omgosh amazing
That was awesome story telling!!! Great job!
RIP Ben
Rest well good sir
R.I.P comicstorian you will forever be missed.
Wat happened?
ive read the comics, and ive listened to comics explained(love it) but i really enjoyed how well you told the story in 13 min. Fantastic, New Subscriber
Iron Man actually wants to talk before fighting for once, but NOOO Cap has to EMP him. If that never happened, the rest probably would've been avoided with a good negotiation.
But, there would have been no compromise it would be, unmask yourself and make your families vulnerable to attack.
Samara Habyarimana yeah but Cap is a good negotiator and the rest of Iron Man's team would have listened at least. They could have found a compromise.
Samara Habyarimana doesn’t the world know caps identity
Kent Pham there's actually a what if story showing if he hadn't started the fight, shit would have worked out
"to talk" woud have been Tony and Maria Hill telling them "do it our way, or do it our way" talking would have been surrender
7:08 was it around the event of Thor, God Killer that you guys covered
Thanks dude, I've been looking for Civil War Saga from the comics, you're awesome no 🧢. Gonna watch your Civil War 2 video after this
That is why Batman did what he did in JLA: Doom.
+unclelink great story
+unclelink Yeas contingency plans
have you read injustice? it is so good and it's fantastic. if you wanted a full out war with nearly EVERY DC character that is the comic book series to read.
Adler Charles i will admit year 3 lacked a lot of things but year 4 semi picked up. Can't wait to see year 5 though.
Adler Charles not in my opinion. I believe it was not to bad
Really feel like Civil War movie should've been done during Phase 4, or even Phase 5.
Yeah.Just because of the lack of heroes/villains in the MCU
Honestly I think it's fine when it happens yeah we want a lot of heroes but the mcu just cant go hiring a bunch if people to play heroes that alot of pay checks plus civil war happens to build the plot for infinity war and endgame
@The King Channel yeah your right but yk the movie still didn't disappoint
A very underrated moment in Civil War: Tony Stark has arrested Daredevil and takes him to the Negative Zone, all the while babbling about his reasoning for siding with the government and trying to convince Daredevil that his actions were for the greater good, and asking for both forgiveness and asking Daredevil to talk, who's completely silent. One of the guards tells Tony that Daredevil has a Silver Dollar to give him, and when Tony is confused by this, Daredevil just says: "Guess that's 31 pieces of silver you've got now, huh? Sleep well, Judas"
That wasn't Matt Murdock as Daredevil
@@rinaoxex5814it’s kinda hard for me tell if that was iron fists or matt
I’ll quote 69% of the citizens
“You, the person that wasn’t involved killed me son. You ever monster”
Best storytelling I'd seen so far keep it up!
This was the video that got me into his channel rest in peace legend
Same for me I started with this and couldn't stop his voice was perfect his narration for each video was always better than the comic he knew how to make you immersed into the story I'll miss his videos so much, rest in peace ben
I think the MCU will do a good job of the story with what they have. Getting Spiderman in is a huge boost not only to the story but for the rest of phase 3.
+Crandy Slags have you been living under a rock?
+Aryan Sharma lmao
+Crandy Slags dude are you an idiot, sony and marvel made a deal. they got a new actor and everything he's going to be in civil war.
+Mike Morris By not telling you could have left him for the biggest surprise ever for the movie.
+Crandy Slags this dumbass said spiderman isnt in the MCU
11:02 the way he narrated this scene is so awesome
Rest in peace man thank you for the good memories and stories sir.❤
My heart goes out the all the children in that school and the rest of the victims 🕊
In all honesty, this entire situation could've been resolved in one session if everyone just put their egos aside and talked this out like adults. You'd think they'd do that too considering the circumstances that led up to the Super Hero Registration Act.
TechoXero isnt every war in human history started by egos instead of talking things out tho
didn't Tony ask Cap for a 5 minute talk but Cap just attacked Tony anyway
What did Tony planned?what did that lil thirsty hoe for thor plan and do when a hero's were fighting,does marvel know wht to do with shield,are they the bad guys or the annoying lil critters
TechoXero all this could have been avoided if
1) Maria hill didn’t try to have Cap shot BEFORE the bill passed
2) Mariam Sharp wasn’t a total bitch
3) Tony Stark wasn’t an asshole
4) Everyone just shut up, sit down, and talk
Grimdarkwolf Plus the enforcement of the law was totally wrong. When a real law passed people have time to comply to it and it passes by a certain date, not immediately afterwards. Starting a fight with the Cap’n before the law even passed was stupid af
Ive always loved your detailed breakdowns of comics, it always made my very long drives for work alot more enjoyable. RIP and my condolences to your family 😪
Honestly, this whole story was fucked. Iron Man was being unreasonable and wasn't necessarily understanding the lives behind the mask. But yet fucking Iron Man won, and Cap dies after this. Keep in mind because of this public identity shit this caused Aunt May to be SHOT cause of Spider Man's identity.
Team Cap
Cap was the unreasonable one.
Joseph Capellan How was Cap, the unreasonable one?
Prodigy Tony just wanted to talk. So what did Cap do? He emp'd Tony and sucker punch him. Which started the very first battle of the Civil War.
Joseph Capellan Cap pretty much had that same talk with the commander hill, he doesn't agree with people giving up their identity. Like I said, Aunt May got shot because of Spider-Mans identity going public.
Prodigy Yes, but Tony wasn't Maria Hill. He prepared to fight, but was looking to avoid it.
Comicstorian is amazing with his charismatic storytelling
That was awesomely epic!!! Well done Benny hell of a job as always Brotha! Comicstorian's the GREATEST EVER!!!!
the instrumental at the end of this video nailed the weight of the story. i appreciated this summary of the story, good on ya!

Lol a big gay dick signal!! 😋😋😅😅😵

+Muhammad Syafin. you made this comment in my birth day
+Raul Barraza lol
+Poke I don't get it...
Thank you for everything 💔
So happy the MCU adapted this story so amazingly, at the perfect time in the MCU as well
They really didn't. The only thing similar is Cap vs Iron Man and the whole hero vs hero thing. They should've waited til they got more characters like the X-Men and fantastic 4 in the MCU and then make the movie because it's supposed to be this huge war between every hero and villain there is. They can probably still do it but just title it civil war instead of captain America civil war
I mean don't get me wrong it's a good movie but it doesn't feel Civil War level conflict considering they only fought one day and then it was over, but at the time they didn't have a lot to work with but they could've just waited instead of trying to use what they got
But if they make another Civil War Movie, There would be more Differences.
Examples:
In the Comic Spider-Man was the one to Reveal his Identity Spider-Man: Far From Home, Mysterio Revealed Spider-Man’s Secret Identity.
The MCU Contracts for Actors and Actresses like Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlet Johansson, and maybe even Jeremy Renner will already Expire.
And the last one for now being the Moment where Frank Castle saves Peter Parker, will they be able to use The Punisher in the Movie? I ask this because There had been some Controversy with the Character Earlier this Year.
@@Tae200. it was like 2 years left for infinity war. When else were they supposed to do it? 2017 would have been way too close.
@@thomaspanditfan2435 What I mean was that they could've made a actual big civil war event in the future after they've introduced more characters. They could've titled this something else.
this made me cry. great work with the music. you have such an emotional voice.
It's funny, this comic is hailed by so many people as a magnificent story, but to me... I dunno, the whole thing seems kinda weak. Tony Stark essentially turning into Stalin, locking away all dissidents in a parallel-dimension-gulag, the entire world turning against the entire metahuman community over a single (Admitedly horrific) accident, all these superheroes seemingly having no qualms whatsoever in trying to kill eachother (then again, superheroes fighting eachother as much as fighting villains is par for the course in the Marvel Universe), the whole story leading into One More Day Spiderman story(And the less said about that atrocity, the better), and the pro-registration side being portrayed as being in the right, when metahuman registration is pretty much the exact thing that the X-men have been battling against since their inception!
Watch Comics Explained's videos on Civil War (main issues and tie-ins), they will clear-up most of what you seem to not like about the story
It's true, everyone was grossly out of character and though the story had a good theme, it just kind of fell flat. It's not that good, but it is one of the most memorable.
Michael Welsh its dumb to me too bro, after years of fighting together all of a sudden because of a simple disagreement lets kill each other now lol
Jay Williams Well, no heroes had killed one another aside from Reed's RoboThor goin' out of control and impaling Goliath.
Jay Williams Simple disagreement? This was their lives and the lives of their families and loved ones, that is no simple disagreement. The fact that Captain America, a man who's only motivation is his love for America and his willingness to do anything to be able to fight for it, goes against America, you should probably start looking at what you are doing.
9:08 seeing my 2 favorite heroes fighting each other killed me big time
Rip Comicstorian
This video really got me into marvel comics and these characters and knowing that the voice and maker passed sucks. RIP Ben thanks for the Comicstorian videos and stories.
For the final battle... how did Cap beat Iron man to the ground when Iron man was programmed to know Cap's every move?
ItaliaeHellas It's like Captain America knew that and attacked Iron Man without thinking about his attacks, don't know how that would work but it did OR, ...nvm idk
Lol.
ItaliaeHellas well in the civil war comics, vision disabled iron man's suit in the final battle that's why cap had the edge on tony
I felt he should of included that in. Think that was such an important fact behind Iron Man's loss against Captain America, only because Cap is pretty hopeless without anyone's help.
ItaliaeHellas yeah that's one detail that he forgot to mention here, and to be honest some info on this video is wrong.. great vid though
Rip legend ❤
I like how the civilians here are crying over their city being destroyed when this is caused by them being selfish about the hero who litterally face death everyday not wanting to put everyone they know in danger. The ACT was basically on the same level as broadcasting every secret agent identities on the internet. It'll only make hero want to be hero alot less.
You can say that, but you can't deny the superheroes are just as selfish. They don't wanna be held accountable by exposing themselves.
@@zyonthelickman I mean, I get the sentiment but remember that literally not long after this, Spiderman's grandmother was sniped and was going to die over this.
You can understand why people who fight villains with powers that can blow up a building don't want any chance of their love ones being held hostage or murdered. Or them to be murdered in their sleep.
@@DarkChocolateGamer grandmother? You mean aunt right?
you make this story sound better than reading it
Why is peter parker SO GOOD LOOKING IN COMICS BOY HE PERFECT
Can't believe he's gone now... RIP I'm glad I found you before the end...
WHY?!!!!WHY!!!???WHY!!??? IS IT ALWAYS NEW YORK
cause that's where most of them live lol
Now that you mentioned it, I noticed that most superheroes lives in New York, and even if it's not in New York, it would take place at least in a fictional version of New York.
nega-venom They just like to have an excuse to destroy famous buildings I guess lol Or maybe it's cause New York is a very big city with lots of different businesses and types of people that make it easy for heroes to blend in.
Roxanne Anders I see your point. After reading that comment, it made me inspired to create a superhero cartoon show that takes place in LA.
+nega-venom what about other countries???? What do they get???
Thank you so much for this, Benny.
0:33 they should have made the full Civil War story not just the core 7 issues I would have watched that
just go to @comics explained
I came back to see this after his passing rest in peace ben
10:13 TONY HAS SENTRY HE SHOUTCAST WIN, HOW COME THIS NEVER COMES UP
Douche Bag No idea, but I do remember that sentry is supposed to be godlike so they probs removed him because he is too op. Well I did not read it but that is what I think what happened :)
That Sentry's a cyborg
I love this channel, I never read Civil War but now it is one of the comic storylines that is on my list to read besides both Secret Wars, Magneto Testament, all Superman Rebirth and Infinite Frontier, Dark Nights Metal and Death Metal and 52 so I am caught up to speed on both Marvel and DC
I'm not a reader, but my friend told me civil war would be a good place to hop in. MY GOD it was even more emotional and carried a lot more weight than the MCU's Civil War. It had me crying and laughing OUT LOUD.
Instead of "Civil War" they all should have agreed to retire, and then when the supervillains, get out of hand let the people beg for their aid, just to be like "Well, we aren't above the law".
I love this story and you telling it makes it much better Benny.
You will be missed man rest in peace you were and will always be my favorite comic explainer
I would like to see some good Spidey stories, like the Clone Saga or One More Day
Seriously ?
Gr8 b8 m8

Orik Muzaffarli I know, I was just joking
JustDenzell The Spider-man clone saga is what made me stop reading comic books.
OMG THE MOVIE WAS JUST 😍, TOTALLY LOVED IT
Actually, there is a comic that does explain how and why the registration act was removed. This comic event is called 'Siege'.
Omg this video was amazing.. The format was amazing and kept me entertained from point one. Thank you for this.
