Heroes fighting heroes

Especially in the ensemble movies, the MCU cannot be without some fighting within the team, between various heroes. Thus, whether it is Iron Man vs. Hulk, or Thor vs. Iron Man, or Captain America vs. Iron Man, some say that maybe Marvel and Disney should steer clear of this. Is it because the fights are predictable? I guess I have already covered that.

Is it because these fights seem a bit artificial, without any reason behind them? This may be it. However, the reason is pretty obvious (the exception being Civil War) – the heroes are characters with their own personalities. And clashes are inevitable.

At times it might become tiresome seeing Thor lifting Tony Stark up in the air. But there is a big pay-off in the end. Whether strengths and weaknesses are found, or the characters become even better friends, it’s all the same.

Coming back to the Civil War – it can now be said that the ideological disagreement between Stark and Rogers was hinted at since the first Avengers movies. The Civil War was the pay-off for their first verbal clashes. I’m satisfied and I’d like to see Thor in the mix next time.
