"I saw young Americans killed by the very weapons I created to defend them and protect them. And I saw that I had become part of a system that is comfortable with zero-accountability." - Tony Stark

Why watch this? This faithful adaptation could be called Avengers 3. It's that awesome!

Plot Summary: Political concerns about the Avengers' previous actions lead to a push for government oversight, dividing the team into two factions led by Captain America and Iron Man. This escalating conflict is complicated by the re-emergence of Captain America's friend, Bucky Barnes, as the Winter Soldier, who is framed for a bombing. As these disagreements escalate, the former allies engage in an intense confrontation.

Dad's Preview: This is definitely one of my favorite MCU entries. The heroes are divided over signing a government-mandated accord that limits their ability to freely operate. This schism instantly makes half of heroes criminals. Lots of action and awesome new characters keep this fine story unique and fresh! Plus...Finally! We get to meet the Black Panther!
