Civil War is just an example of The Avengers catalog not having very many well developed or interesting villains. So they had to fight each other. Then they had to fight the x-men lmao.
Thats why X-Men will always be better then avengers. The X-Men catalog can carry itself. It's villains are enjoyable in the low and high tiers. Plus good story arcs.
First Civil War made Marvel a lot of money and Quesada said they would do them yearly. And it turns out that hero vs hero was the most popular aspect of Civil War and that's why it kept happening.
Is there a Hero vs Hero event where everybody doesn't act deliberately extreme and retarded in any continuity?
Bendis is Bendis regardless. It's why the tie-ins tend to be much better than the actuall event. Hell, most of the writers for the tie-ins all hated it
Then Civil War II proceeded to bomb
The reason they made Civil War 2 was because of the movie and because the first one made so much money. As far as I know it still sold well. The only comparatively bad selling Marvel events were Axis and Secret Empire. Events always make a lot of money and top the sales charts but Axis and SE were the worst selling of the most recent ones.
>Civil War II pros:
>The art, especially Marquez' Extremely Cute Tony
>The Tie-ins
>Civil War II cons:
>literally everything else
Like many have said before, Civil War's idea is great, IF executed properly. Its premise of pitting heroes against each other, the superhuman registration had a ground to be debated about. It is kind of stupid but it's a much better reason than the one we had for Civil War 2.
But it just plain sucked. But what's really bad about Civil War is the comics that came after.
While the X-Men may have a bigger and better rogues gallery than the Avengers, the comics have been screwing that rogues gallery for almost 20 years. First Morrison makes millions of mutants, 'more like a real minority', so the world had moved on and left Magneto and his followers behind, then Decimation happens, writers protected their own casts, so a large number of villains got depowered, and since then the lines between the X-Men and their mutant villains were blurred because most of them were living and working together. When they're not fighting Sentinels, human villains, or Mojo, the X-Men have spent a lot of the last 10 years fighting other heroes because of this.
Then it brought upon Secret Empire lmao with that last minute ending change. I still can't believe they made an event pushing Falcon as new Cap just to change him back immediately after, Holy shit rofl
