The Titular Character
When it comes to superhero movies, there’s a very noticeable trend that has been established over many years – the titular hero never loses. Batman, Superman, Iron Man, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Hulk, Captain America himself – they always win in their solo movies. Always.
In Captain America: Civil War, the titular hero is obviously Captain America. Can we really see Captain America losing in a movie in which he is the headlining star? It seems implausible, so surely his team will defeat Iron Man’s? Right?
You’d certainly think so, but this is no ordinary superhero movie. He’s up against a team of established fellow superheroes who are also undefeated on screen. That complicates things. Still, it’s also difficult to see such an established precedent being ignored.
Something much bigger than Captain America could be decisive in the outcome of this movie…
