basically the Civil War (2024) discourse 

can’t believe they made a movie called civil war but didn’t include either captain america or iron man smh my head

It's about an hour and forty nine minutes.

It's about a war that's civil.

I can see why Civil War caused so much discourse. On one hand I don’t like the sokovia accords, but on the other iron man has Spider-Man on his team. It’s a hard choice to be sure

in jesse plemons voice: "what kind of civil war viewer are you?"

“Ok here’s my pitch: it’s a movie about nothing” -Jerry Civilwarfield

I love the implication that they've been sitting there for 18 hours trying to guess what Civil War was about and only then got to the most obvious answers

It's about a bidding war between 2 construction companies over who gets to work on a bridge

I swear… if I keep scrolling and see something stupid like “the absolute war, he’s never civil” I’m gonna go crazy

Its about a greedy land developer who wants to demolish the beloved capitol building to build a bustling new shopping mall, and the plucky youths who must band together to stop him. Mischief ensues.

"What are we, some kind of Civil War?" Jesse Plemons, probably

Lmao 'Jesse Plemons is a scary mf' was literally my letterboxd review

"A man divided against himself shall not carry the thing." -Abraham Lincoln, probably.

Imagine how Texas and California teamed up California: "SAVE MARTHA!!!" Texas: "WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME???!!!"

“What we have here is a failure to communicate.”

Jesse Plemons scene is a 10/10 thats all that I know for sure about this movie

It’s about some super soldier who fighted iron man :)

I'm pretty sure the civil war was about slavery, but that's just what every single history class I've ever taken says about it, so what do I know.

I think we can all agree that Texas and California teaming up is the most unrealistic plot point of this whole movie

95% of the people talking about the movie haven't even seen the movie.

The Man Carrying Thing civil war between him and Woman Carrying Man was crazy. Most bloodiest war in Man Carrying History

The closest thing to a positive comment on the themes of _Civil War_ I've heard so far is "an alarming amount of people seems to think that having a war happening on your backyard is awesome, this movie is about how it would _actually_ be the opposite of awesome to have a war happening on your backyard" ... so apparently is a movie made exclusively to piss off WhatIfAltHistory and no-one else

ah yes the carrying war between man vs. thing

It’s about ethics in photojournalism

It’s about Kirsten Dunst going on a cross country roadtrip with her buddies to see the sights and casual deaths this beautiful country has to offer

Isn't it about how getting photos of a war is a frightening and dangerous job? ...Or Captain America fighting Iron Man?

"Enjoyed godzilla x kong" BRUHHH THAT'S NOT FAIR MAN

Just seen it today and I'm still trying to process it. I think a lot of the discourse revolves around the fact it doesn't take a political stance (which it silently does) and how it's not about left vs right which is definitely not the point of the film. The film is more of a case about journalism and their purpose to remain impartial. How it explores three different generations of journalism from the Dune guy (can't remember his name soz) to Kirsten and Wagners and then to the young girl who tags along. But yeah that Jesse Plemons scene hits hard.

It's about getting the Muppets back together again to Stop an evil oil baron from demolishing the old studio

I have no idea what this is about but I'm all here for the carrying of things

It is about journalists covering a war which just happens in the USA to make a title that will hopefully attract people to watch it.

When i found out that Texas and California joined forces i got the same shock of bewilderment as i did when in Homefront they tell you North and South Korea joined forced to invade the USA.

all I know was when I saw it in IMAX, 4 people had to walk out of the theatere after being progresivly more and more disturbed and the woman behind me screamed and started crying during the Jesse Plemons scene. Not sure what to make of that put if you want to know anything about the movie, it works

Went and saw this on Friday. A family came in late, brought their 3-4 year old into the movie at the exact moment the guy in the tire was being lit on fire and stayed for about 30mins after that then all left. So weird. What an awkward night to the movies

I know the joke is "the absolute legend, he never misses" but with these sketches about discourse, you really never miss, this is exactly what everyone's been saying

Its about cashing in on societal fears while not engaging with the issues.

He never civils, the absolute war!

If I wanted something carefully sanitized of any hint of an actual position on any of the things it's "just asking questions" about, I'd go play literally anything Ubisoft's released in the last ten years.

Civil War? Oh thats what I was watching... I thought it was strange when neither Godzilla nor Kong showed up at all.

can’t believe they made a second civil war but it didn’t include huey long jack reed or douglas macarthur.

the marketing for this movie was more misleading than wonka not being marketed as a musical fantastic movie though

The trailer popped up before this video and I still don't know what it's about

Civil War is about captain american and ironman beating eachother up. At the end of the movie they stop fighting and make out to solve their differences.

I’ve never been happier to not know what Twitter is saying about a movie.

y'all it's really pretty easy: The American Civil War (April 12, 1861 - May 26, 1865; also known by other names) was a civil war in the United States between the Union[e] ("the North") and the Confederacy ("the South"), which had been formed by states that had seceded from the Union. The central conflict leading to the war was the dispute over whether slavery would be permitted to expand into the western territories, leading to more slave states, or be prevented from doing so, which many believed would place slavery on a course of ultimate extinction.[17] Decades of political controversy over slavery were brought to a head by the victory in the 1860 U.S. presidential election of Abraham Lincoln, who opposed slavery's expansion into the western territories. Seven southern slave states responded to Lincoln's victory by seceding from the United States and forming the Confederacy. The Confederacy seized U.S. forts and other federal assets within their borders. The war began when on April 12, 1861, Confederate troops fired on Fort Sumter in South Carolina's Charleston Harbor. A wave of enthusiasm for war swept over both North and South, as recruitment soared. The states in the undecided border region had to choose sides, although Kentucky declared it was neutral. Four more southern states seceded after the war began and, led by Confederate President Jefferson Davis, the Confederacy asserted control over about a third of the U.S. population in eleven states. Four years of intense combat, mostly in the South, ensued. During 1861-1862 in the Western Theater, the Union made significant permanent gains-though in the Eastern Theater the conflict was inconclusive. The abolition of slavery became a Union war goal on January 1, 1863, when Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared all slaves in rebel states to be free, which applied to more than 3.5 million of the 4 million enslaved people in the country. To the west, the Union first destroyed the Confederacy's river navy by the summer of 1862, then much of its western armies, and seized New Orleans. The successful 1863 Union siege of Vicksburg split the Confederacy in two at the Mississippi River, while Confederate General Robert E. Lee's incursion north failed at the Battle of Gettysburg. Western successes led to General Ulysses S. Grant's command of all Union armies in 1864. Inflicting an ever-tightening naval blockade of Confederate ports, the Union marshaled resources and manpower to attack the Confederacy from all directions. This led to the fall of Atlanta in 1864 to Union General William Tecumseh Sherman, followed by his March to the Sea. The last significant battles raged around the ten-month Siege of Petersburg, gateway to the Confederate capital of Richmond. The Confederates abandoned Richmond, and on April 9, 1865, Lee surrendered to Grant following the Battle of Appomattox Court House, setting in motion the end of the war. Lincoln lived to see this victory but on April 14, he was assassinated. Appomattox is often referred to symbolically as the end of the war, although arguably there are several different dates for the war's conclusion. Lee's surrender to Grant set off a wave of Confederate surrenders-the last military department of the Confederacy, the Department of the Trans-Mississippi disbanded on May 26. By the end of the war, much of the South's infrastructure was destroyed. The Confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, and four million enslaved black people were freed. The war-torn nation then entered the Reconstruction era in an attempt to rebuild the country, bring the former Confederate states back into the United States, and grant civil rights to freed slaves. The Civil War is one of the most extensively studied and written about episodes in U.S. history. It remains the subject of cultural and historiographical debate. The myth of the Lost Cause of the Confederacy is often the subject of critical analysis. The American Civil War was among the first wars to use industrial warfare. Railroads, the telegraph, steamships, the ironclad warship, and mass-produced weapons were all widely used during the war. In total, the war left between 620,000 and 750,000 soldiers dead, along with an undetermined number of civilian casualties, making the Civil War the deadliest military conflict in American history.[f] The technology and brutality of the Civil War foreshadowed the coming World Wars.

It's about a British director who doesn't get how American states work

I'm just glad we have a Brazilian Lead on a Hollywood film

It's when captain America is mad at iron man

As someone who use all two of his yearly trips to the theater to watch GxK back to back, I can confidently say that I have not watched Civil War

How journalists feel like the victims of wars they refuse to take a side on

Just two days later and the civil war discourse looks entirely different (they’re using AI posters now)

Maybe the true meaning of Civil War was in our hearts all along.

Civil War: truly, the first film that pisses off everyone by appealing to no one. Bravo, Alex Garland-san.

I thought it was great. One of the best war movies of all time. The feeling of being someone not involved, but not completely uninvolved, is so perfect. Definitely one of the best fictional stories from the perspective of war photographers. While sitting in the theater I thought "man, if only the The Last of Us show could've been like this"

love that texas and california team up in civil war just the perfect kind of shallow hack writing choice

The only bad thing about a civil war now is that Man Carrying Thing's side would win easily as he never misses

It’s about Ron Swanson no longer being a libertarian

Civil war is about a movie about man carrying civil wars

Say the line Bart!!!!

That's the problem I have with what I've heard about this movie. You can't visualize a modern civil war in the United States without being political. It would be one thing if the movie took place in a fictional country that's meant to be an allegory of the U.S. Kind of like what the Marx Bros. did in Duck Soup (just replace America with Europe). But it wasn't. And by refusing to dive into how our increasing divisiveness and extremism in politics would turn us into 1930s Spain, the movie took the easy way out.

"Fear not the man who fights in a bloodthirsty manner Fear the the man who is civil during times of war." - Llewellyn Davis

Somehow its both

They finally made a movie about a Jojo Stand? I was hoping for Soft And Wet.

its about how... we shouldn't fight each other over politics or something idk i havent seen it

"it's about family, and that's whats so powerful about it."

"Truly a civil man carrying a war" *LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER* "HOW? IT's called 'CIVIL WAR!'"

I mean I get the point that the movie isn’t about the politics of war and more about how it affects people. I do think the movie is objectively stronger because it takes an outsiders view to the conflict. But I’d argue the world building feels kinda incomplete because we don’t know WHY there is a war in the first place. Like a quick little explanation would’ve been appreciated

Another certified neighborhood classic! 🧙‍♂️

Dawg I vibe with Todd, Godzilla x Kong went hard 🔥

It's about MCU fans vs. Comic Purists. "Okay. What KIND of Marvel fan are you?"

The absolute Civil, he never wars

It's about "passing the guard" from one photo journalist to another. It romanticizes the role of journalists, who in real life, have really lost the trust of the public.

Apparently it’s about the importance of journalism

People who make a movie about MLK and Malcom X: This film has nothing to do with race relations.

My film studies professor once said "Message is inescapable. Every movie is about something. Except Ghostbusters and Civil War (2024)."

Lisa Simpson: "Come on, Mom, the theatres just invented this Civil War to make money".

I either forgot this movie existed or I never knew it existed in the first place.

It’s about Ron Swanson being the president

God it's like that Don't Look Up Movie all over again rofmlap

I'm definitely team it takes no risks but wishes to wrap itself in the garb of a very serious thing you should take very seriously even though it says nothing that a hundred different Dbeat bands have said almost exclusively. Warbad warbad warbad warbad.

I got an ad for Civil War right before this video Lmao

Civil War (2024) asks the bold question: "What if states formed military alliances and conflicts based solely on arbitrary geological proximity?"

It's about making tacticool fashion statements. Multicam & Elton John sunglasses, ghilles with painted nails & hair, yeet in style...

Umm, actually its called Sigil War and it's about The Seven Sigil War of the Forgotten Realms.

IDK why people think this is so hard. I haven't seen it, but it's obviously about what living through a civil war would be like told from the perspectives of war journalist which is its own commentary on the disconnect between watching that kind of coverage about other countries and the feeling it produces seeing it be about the country you live in.

What is this video even about? It's called CIVIL WAR!

It’s about the fact that “journalists” would shoot photos of their own babies being eaten by wild animals.

Man carrying debate

Midsterpiece! A24 has done it again!

Civil War was pretty good. I liked the interaction between Iron Man and Captain America. It was truly moving what happened there!

The absolute war! He's never civil!

I really enjoyed it and had no idea people hated it so much until I commented on something saying I liked it and like 5 people told me I was an absolute moron

"I love the Leader. I mean civil war"

I like how Man is buzzing answers as incorrect when he himself has not read what's on the card

“When war gives you Plemons, make Plemonade.” -Civil

He never accidentally offends me by implying Godzilla X Kong isn't good! The absolute legend!

I loved the part where iron-man said: "its warring time" and achieved peak civilness, truly peak cinema

Saying someone that something is not about politics, is politics. Very smart (2024)

It was actually very good. But it is more about war journalism than anything else.

Civil War is actually about how Stephen McKinley Henderson is an underrated character actor
