Captain America Civil War Analysis - Main Character Question

Now that’s a terrifying prospect . . .

On the other hand, I suppose you could argue that the suite of Marvel Cinematic Universe films do represent a marked change from anything that’s come before – directly interlinked feature films that are always both telling their own story and advancing the series arc. Marvel has made no bones of the fact that all the MCU movies are leading up to Infinity War (hence why there’s a frickin’ stone in almost every one of the movies – each one is an infinity stone which is what Thanos is going to get hold of in Avengers: Infinity War.)

That said, from a Dramatica standpoint I think it would then make more sense to toss out all those scenes that aren’t really part of this movie but just servicing the lead up to the big movie. Thus you have a storyform representing Captain America: Civil War with a few extra scenes tossed in for continuity of the series arc.

All that said, I don’t think that describes the Cap “man out of time” stuff. That feels connected to this movie, and not so much the series arc which is about the infinity stones.
