BN, I could post excerpts from Civil War issues, but then you'd be scarred for life.
There's a page-length scene involving the Lord's Prayer, alcoholism, and death, for example.

So as far as I can tell:
- Tony Stark was a Snidely Whiplash asshole who wanted to kill superheros
- The story didn't even involve the Mutants
- This causes neckbeards online to call it the worst Marvel story ever
And now Marvel Studios wants to bring it to film.
I, um...don't care? Seriously why should I be angry about this? To me, as someone who hasn't read the Civil War stories, the premise sounds pretty cool and logically the next concept the MCU needs to grapple with beyond Avengers 2. And I also bet that Marvel realizes fans displeasure with the overall plot of Civil War...they're most assuredly going to change some things around.
Also, apparently Spidey might be involved?
the best parts are when it tries to make a big deal over r-tier characters dying. and the scene where the punisher murders surrendering criminals in cold blood and captain america gets all pissy about it.
Punisher has died multiple times.

i wish someone would be about it when it comes to the punisher. he kills dudes. thats what he does. dont like it? take his ass down.

They're cool with Wolvie doing that though, so it's like uh ummm...
Considering how different the MCU is anyway with its characters, I imagine that its take on Civil War will share similarities in concept and basic premise only. I don't know, I just find the nerd outrage I read on GAF regarding this choice really stupid.
Shit that isn't surprising at all for 200, Alex.
Comics gaf mostly hates Batman and stans the fuck out of Thor. Which has never made sense to me.
The story that cemented my Iron Dick hate

There's a point where Iron Fist (who's Daredevil for reasons I care not to remember) tosses someone a silver dollar and intimates that they're Judas too.
Cemented my Iron Man stanning forever. Stark was right.

it's like how dc keeps bringing back doomsday because death of superman sold well.Which is increasingly hilarious with each time.
There aren't enough MCU characters to even make it work, are there? A civil war with 3-4 people per side isn't much of a war.by the time Cap 3 is out we'll have Ant-Man, Dr. Strange, and whomever is introduced in Avengers 2. And a probable Spider-Man integration in the MCU. (http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/10/07/could-spider-man-join-the-marvel-cinematic-universe)

not to mention Agents of Shield and the Netflix troika (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage) that are/may be in the MCU.
Civil War gets shit on by Spidey fans for leading more or less directly to One More Day, the shittiest of Spider-man stories to my knowledge.

Fury didn't even bother mentioning to Cap that Coulson is alive.

God comics are so ridiculous with this continuity shit how can someone parse any of this without losing their mindIt's the part I like honestly. Like uncovering a history as I discover new books within the universe. Like Doom Patrol or Gotham Central or Booster Gold or whatever that adds flesh to other books and events. Like finally getting a grasp around the "actual" events of Infinite Crisis and Final Crisis is fun. Especially when it's taking basically discarded stuff and reworking it to be like crazy important like Starman/JSA did with a number of things where it all comes together later.

We haven't brought up the dumbest part of Civil War: Penance (http://marvel.com/universe/Penance_(Robert_Baldwin))
Speedball (yes, SPEEDBALL) felt so bad about what he did at Stamford, CT that he started wearing a suit with knives on the inside that cut him all the time because GRIMDARK

:what
You read comic books that either don't interact with the rest of their multiverse much at all (e.g. nu-52 Captain Atom, RIP :tocry) or ones where it doesn't matter at all if they interact because you don't read them for any coherent thought (e.g. Daniel Way DA GOD's Deadpool run).

please tell me youre joking
please tell me youre joking
I'm not. Way delivered us from a time when Gail Simone was writing domestic abuse storylines in Deadpool books that concluded with all-around horrible human being Taskmaster deciding that even he couldn't abide domestic abusers and murdered the one who was abusing Deadpool's secretary. :what
Ball don't lie. His run is still the longest run on a Deadpool book IIRC. :hitler

his spastic LOL HILARIOUS run is one of the worst things to happen to the character. ill gladly take simone back(especially due to her agent x run) than ever hear rumors of him coming back to deadpool

Aside from the Marvel NOW stuff (i.e. the solo book and Thunderbolts) I've read every Deadpool book and Way's run is nowhere near the worst Deadpool (which is the Deadpool from Deadpool MAX).
I can understand why a character who doesn't hide from the puerile nature of comics has always rustled comic fan jimmies doe. :hitler
Remember Sally Floyd and the Front line? :holeup

I'm so split on marvel not having the spider-man license. On one hand, I think they could do a better job with him. On the other, they'd make him a fucking Avenger like in the comics when he has traditionally fought street level threats, isn't a team player except for the occasional fantastic four run in, and is comparingly weak compared to say...iron man or fucking captain America. It's one of the large examples of Marvel's complete misunderstanding of the character in light of chasing after big bucks.
Cap beat down Spiderman in his Iron Spider suit, so there's that.
I didn't read the issue, but I liked the panels (which I saw out of context) where Iron Man uses some hack to send false triggers to Spiderman's spider-sense, then shows up behind him and one-shots him.
The movies need to give Iron Man his Bleeding Edge suit. That thing is OP as fuck, but also sick as fuck.
Though I think Iron Man was still in the Extremis suit when he one-shotted Spiderman? With Bleeding Edge that fight would be even more of a curbstomp.

And then at some point, he went back to being Speedball again. Acting the same way. No scars or anything. No idea if they ever explained it or if he just magically showed up as Speedball in the new New Warriors.
Actually I read Extremis recently, and that was what really turned me into an Iron Man stanboy. Too bad IM3 made such a mockery of that storyline.
Did we read the same Extremis? The movie actually fixed a lot of the wonky-ness that six-shot storyline had.
The movie nerfed all the battles, turned the middle third into "Adventures of de-powered Stark and some kid from an 80s Spielberg movie", and replaced a somewhat-shallow, but still compelling villain (Mallen) with a bait and switch.
It fixed fairly minor problems by introducing really major problems.
The experience of reading Extremis >>>>> the experience of watching Iron Man 3.
