When they announced Civil War, I remember thinking it was too early, there aren't enough heroes and they are blowing the plotline too soon

But they used it at the *perfect* time for a bunch of reasons

1) There turned out to be a ton of heroes to use, more would have just been gratuitous, and people already make the (imo simplified and unfounded) take that this movie is just about taking your heroes and smashing them against eachother like action figures. The focus the main heroes got and the spotlights the minor heroes got were all good.

2) it *was* a good idea to create conflict and break them apart going into Infinity War. People say this movie was *just* to accomplish that, but I don't agree. It *also* accomplished that, and it benefits both movies

3) If they had waited longer for more heroes, we would start *losing* heroes from earlier in the MCU as characters die and as actors move on. Imagine trying to do this after Endgame. It would be a drastically different movie...

Overall, I should have had more faith in the MCU. They nailed it. Praise be to Feige.
