I was talking to some co-workers about Civil War and I explained that I liked it but I didn't think it was the holy grail of comic book movies. I gave it an 8/10. I define a great story not by motivations of the hero, but the motivations of the villain.
In my home office, I have more villain collectibles such as Vader, Kylo, Joker & Harley, etc than I do hero's. It's like I'm more attracted to fictional villains. I think it's because you can't know the good without the bad. I think most people want to be good people so the motivations for being good are more part of who we are are. But the motivations for being bad; something went wrong somewhere. That wrong is more of a learning tool for me than any action a hero might take.
I don't want the villains to win or anything. I fully want the light to shine over darkness in the end. But I feel the darkness is the more interesting part of the story. That's where Civil War failed IMO. I didn't make this thread to talk about Civil War, it was merely the conversation that made me reflect on my own interest.
