I really like Civil War but the movie just does not need Spiderman or Ant Man (for instance), and the contrivances to get them both involved for the purposes of making that airport battle better came at too much of a logic cost. It's one of those times where you can see the mechanism working too much. Like you can see the need of the studio and the overall franchise taking over the individual movie. Batman vs Superman came out around the same time and did that too, but much much worse and much more obviously. Civil War never plumbs those depths, but still, after giving it some thought those contrivances do make me like it less than I did when I first watched it.

But then the airport battle is so good, and that's definitely enhanced by Spidey and Ant Man, so...

The Cap/Iron Man scene with the pen is maybe the best in the franchise. Cap and Iron Man's dynamic across the first two Avengers movies, Civil War and Endgame is a real highlight.

Civil War to me is almost Joe MCU as a movie. Which has a lot of positives but some negatives too.
