I really hated the comic book Civil War series (being an old Spider-man fan) because it ultimately wound up with Peter Parker splitting from his wife. Hated that! In any case, it was boring.

Vermont Lt: Anyway, I thought the civil war meme came from the comic books. So it’s not exactly a new theme.

I didn't read the series, but the premise could make a really great movie: the government passes a "registration act" [for superheros & mutants] which leads to Captain America saying Nope! and rebelling against what he would [correctly] view as both unconstitutional and horrific [being that Nazi Germany to him was literally "a few years ago", and they did people-registration too].

It would be a good way to ask the question what are the legitimate limits of government? to the audience, if done right.
