Talk:Captain America: Civil War

Future section

Is there a reason the "Future" section is needed? None of the content there directly relates to this film, besides being "speculation" of Captain America, and I don't think TFATWS Disney+ series is relevant to this film directly. I would be in favor of removing the section, but wanted discussion. Natg 19 (talk) 07:23, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

It's equivalent to what we have at Iron Man 3, potential sequel and significant spin-off. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is the closest thing there is to a direct Civil War sequel. Pratically all the Captain America-related characters from that film except Rogers have main roles, including Wilson, Barnes, Sharon Carter, and Zemo. —El Millo (talk) 07:47, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

There is no speculation here, we have some reliably sourced information about the next Captain America film that should obviously be listed, and that information makes it clear that there should be some details for the series as well to make sense. - adamstom97 (talk) 19:01, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

The “future” section is relevant due to the “Falcon/Winter Soldier” series, Chris Evans’ possible return for a project, as well as the upcoming fourth “Captain America” film. ChristianJosephAllbee (talk) 22:30, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Budget reference

@Favre1fan93: Why do we need three references that say the budget is 250? Looks less user-friendly when they all say same thing in a different way. The only information relevant to them for cited next to budget is 250 which they agree on Indagate (talk) 08:57, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

BOM/Numbers are generally estimating budget info so in theory that one should be removed, but it's common on many film articles so it isn't worth the reverting of additions to remove it. Deadline's analysis article further confirms this number, as does FilmLA's report, so they are all helpful to reconfirm the number. Looks less user-friendly isn't an issue when we have the sources to further support the material in article. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 18:22, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

BOM/NUM seems best source of the three as updated and collects info from elsewhere. We don't need any sources to "reconfirm the number" though, they're redundant and makes it less clear for the reader. Everything needs to be referenced but when there's three references to same number that can create unnecessary confusion. We can reconfirm the number by looking at additional reliable sources without citing them. Indagate (talk) 18:43, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

BOM and NUM are particularly reliable for box office, not for budget. The other two are more reliable for budgets. —El Millo (talk) 19:23, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Why the difference in reliability between budget and box office? Why need both of the other two if both reliable? Indagate (talk) 19:33, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Different sites are best for different things. BOM and NUM are especially good for box office, but not especially good for budget. Using Deadline and the Feature Film Study for the budget is better for the budget, and BOM could be removed there. —El Millo (talk) 19:48, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Exactly what I was saying. But because BOM/Numbers are so widely used to source budgets on film articles, removing it would be more of a hassle of trying to keep it removed from an editor looking to readd it, that it's not worth removing it. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 20:37, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Cast - Black Panther - powers

Should Black Panther's power source be mentioned if it's not revealed in this film and link to source is an article published after this film's release and is dedicated to BP movie that came later? Gevorg89 (talk) 19:38, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Theme: loss

I'm surprised that more is not made here of the film's theme of loss.

Stark has lost Pepper and his parents. The mother who waits for Stark has lost her son. T'Challa looses his father. Cap loses Peggy and his shield. Rhodie loses his ability to walk. Zemo is avenging his lost family. LeapUK (talk) 05:50, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

We do not analyze films ourselves. That would constitute original research. —El Millo (talk) 06:12, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Change the synopsis

Hello I request this edit, to change the synopsis like this: In Captain America: Civil War, disagreement over international oversight of the Avengers fractures the team into two opposing factions—one led by Steve Rogers and the other by Tony Stark (Downey). Meanwhile, vengeful mastermind Helmut Zemo plans to get revenge on the Avengers because of the events of Avengers: Age of Ultron. I wanted to make this change because the synopsis of films often mentions the main antagonist and its plans. Example: The film follows race car Lightning McQueen (Wilson) and tow truck Mater (Cable Guy), who head to Japan and Europe to compete in the World Grand Prix, but Mater accidentally becomes sidetracked with international espionage, and ends up attempting to uncover a conspiracy led by a mysterious criminal mastermind and his gang which threatens all competitors in the Grand Prix, with the help of British spies Finn McMissile (Caine) and Holley Shiftwell (Mortimer). It’s the synopsis of Cars 2, the “mysterious criminal mastermind” is Sir Miles Axlerod. 66.103.11.103 (talk) 17:35, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
