Captain America: Civil War Opens May 6

© 2016 Marvel / Walt Disney Pictures. All Rights Reserved.

In Captain America: Civil War, we see Team Cap vs. Team Iron Man. Oh why must I pick a side? 

What's going on? Well, some folks feel like maybe, kinda, possibly that The Avengers may need some policing.  Yeah, a few cities were blown up and there were likely high civilian body counts but hey, shit happens. Captain America (Chris Evans) feels they can monitor themselves; they don't need babysitters or hand slappers…they're super heroes after all.  Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) feels that maybe they do need to be kept on a leash a little bit…they're super heroes after all. Well folks, when super heroes with shall we say, prickly egos disagree, things can get messy. 

Since Captain America is my favorite of the Marvel franchises, so far, I'm going to have to hang with Team Cap.

Captain America: Civil War opens in theaters on May 6.
