Justice League and Infinity War

As previously said, both movies are just beginnings. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has been criticized numerous times for being just a set-up for subsequent movies. However, I don’t believe that it was that big a fault. Instead, I believe that Dawn of Justice does exactly what it’s supposed to, which is to show how the Justice League is formed.

It can be debated whether or not Zack Snyder chose the smartest way to do so. However, we already have two (or three, with the not-dead Superman) members of the League established, with the rest already cameoing in the movie.

Civil War brings the MCU one step closer to the big conflagration. Even if Thanos weren’t present during the Civil War, the events of the movie paved the way for an easy win for him. The Avengers exist no more, and the heroes hate each other (frankly, I can’t see a way for them to become friends again, short of another big death, just like Coulson’s unsatisfying demise).

Of course, as far as both movies are concerned, there are movies to follow before the big events. And these movies will explain the powers of both Wonder Woman and Black Panther (which will be released before Justice League Part One and Infinity War Part One, respectively).

Which brings us to another point.
