My friend watches CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR for the FIRST time || MCU Phase 3 

Hope you guys enjoy this one. Matt did some behind the scenes if you'd like to see more: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hWYLejBg9Ak.html

“I like this dude” We all do 😔 R.I.P Legend

“In my culture, death is not the end” RIP Chadwick

For Scott Lang to tell Wanda, “Hey, I know you too! You’re great!” must’ve made her feel like a million bucks. During such an emotionally vulnerable period after the accident, hearing that appreciation must’ve been really nice.

“He’s worthy of the shield because he doesn’t have to have the shield.” “If you’re nothing without the suit, you shouldn’t have it.”

Can we take a moment to talk about Matt’s character arc😂

Jenna probably has the most accurate take on Tony saying he’s driven by fear

Zemo is so underated. Him and thanos are the only villians that win

Man, Jenna is just on fire. She has got Tony's motivations totally nailed down.

- Starts video - See’s it’s 33 mins - Stops video and makes a tea - Starts video

“He’s worthy of that shield, because he doesn’t have to have that shield” YES

I personally enjoy Black Panther more in this movie than his own movie, I believe he is way more intimidating and strong in this one

29:41 Matt: there are still 14 hundreds movies left MCU Fan: 14 millions 6 hundreds and 5 to be exact

The moment we all have been waiting for. Aside from endgame and infinity war

Me: Dude im tired of waiting. Where the heck is holden. Holden: BOOM! You looking for this? Ps: I was blown away by the intro DAAMMMN

The best thing about civil war is that Tony and Steve begin their stories on the opposite side. Tony rejects oversight in Avengers 1 while Steve stubbornly adheres to it. But the stories each characters go through highlight the dangers of the philosophy they agree with and it makes them change their mind. Winter Soldier teaches Steve that any organisation can become corrupted. Age of Ultron teaches Tony that the Avengers can't just do things because they have the ability to do so. Steve learns that individual decisions can keep you on the right path when the organisation you're in turns to immorality and Tony learns that sometimes you need oversight to tell you no. Both of those philosophies are wrong and right at the same time. Both of the characters adopted these philosophies through painful experiences so both of them embrace one philosophy wholly and reject the other one. They're both short-sighted but their motivations are so understandable and relatable. This film is a goddamn masterful pay-off to like 8 films of set up.

Bucky Barnes and his family took Steve in after Rogers parents died. They were best friends even before that. They went to war together. And yet he doesn't get why Steve would choose Bucky over Tony. Steve and Tony are friends. Steve and Bucky are brothers.

I think matt is going to love dr strange, but before he starts it he needs to know one thing. “Forget everything you think you know.”

The production value is really going up with that intro... And Team Cap all the way btw. One major detail of the film that I noticed is Captain America was the only one seen reading the Sokovian Accords in the film. It was a two inch thick document. He read the strict regulations inside and knew there was potential there for someone to abuse the power inside that document. It might have been written with good intentions in mind, but eventually someone would take advantage of it. He just fought against a tyrannical government in WW2 and didn’t want to do it again down the road.

10:55 seeing Matt at the edge of his seat is so satisfying, knowing how invested he is now

Warmachine going down was a big moment. Because of Falcon. Falcon is a PJ, a Pararescuemen he job is to save down pilots. When Warmachine was shot and going down, Falcon stops following Capt's plane and instead moves to help Rhodes. That made so much sense at that moment... "So That Others May Live"

Can’t wait to see Matt’s reaction to the politics of Killmonger in Black Panther.

One point I don't think anyone's ever brought up is that Tony Stark doesn't like Captain America because Howard Stark his father. In the first Captain America, Steve Rogers and Howard Stark had a relationship where they were a team and they actually worked well together. you can see Tony Stark's animosity towards Steve Rogers in the first avengers movie when he says he's nothing special. Tony Stark and Howard Stark never really had a really good relationship. The final nail in the coffin was when Tony said that's my dad's shield you don't deserve it.

Best REVIEW yet and here is why: ✔️🤙🏻 Intro brought a bit of Holdens old style which was SO 😎 cool ✔️👏🏻Matt’s actually becoming a fan... his excitement Is palpable while watching 🥰 ✔️🙌🏻 Lots more friends giving great reviews and perspectives ✔️Longer is better! 🤣👌🏻 ✔️Matt’s few disses and Holden reaction/edition effects are EVERYTHING! THANK U THANK U THANK U for making my life better through these simple videos! Means so much! MAHALO to all of you 🙏🏻🤙🏻

100% Zemo is the most effective “villain” I think the MCU has had. Civil War is so good! This whole thing was amazing and everyone made such great points! This is why I love the MCU!

Matt's adorable clap at Cap saying "I could do this all day" was just so great. He's warming up to the boy in blue

"Physically.. ok. But when you get attacked mentally, that's when it really shows the depths of who you are" Damn Matt, you gave me chills man

I really can't wait until your friend reacts to Infinity War and Endgame

T'Challa's line about vengeance and deciding to break the chain just OOF always get's me

Does this mean doctor strange is next!? I can’t wait to see Matt -“woah that’s not how that works”

Things that made me love this video: 1. Seeing Matt "wowing" more (all those by gone jin moments) and leaning forward when Tony discovers the truth plus his love for Black Panther 2. Jenna discussing Tony's fear as a driving motivation which is true because it all culminates to (SPOILERS) Infinity War/Endgame; it's his fear of whoever was behind the extraterrestrial attack on New York that also propels him to make advancements to his suits 3. Matt and Jenna liking the movie 4. All the insight and thoughts from everyone (like all the other vids) 5. Dat intro Love your videos Holden, found your Star Wars videos and I've been catching up on the MCU series too! Keep it up!

Holden is great. Hands down. But Matt has become or always was, a great reviewer period. Love his thoughts on this film and all the films he watches but these thoughts were better than anything I’ve ever said about a movie. Love it. It’s fun to see him get submerged in the MCU fandom. Would love to see these guys on my channel to review an Indian Film to see how they feel about it

The movie 9.2/10. Friends coming together to enjoy a film and be so PASSIONATE about it. Priceless

So I think I’ve cracked the theorem of Matt’s perfect movie, a 2hr video of people reading out inspirational quotes, you can even have the actors hold up the the pictures to go with the quotes just as long as they’re not to flashy so he still can make sense of it

Matt: “He’s WORTHY of that shield”. Me: ok good. At least he’s grasped the concept of cap being worthy AFTER ALL OF THE CAP HATING.

Honestly, this series has made me realize so much about Tony's character that I never noticed before. I've been team cap through and through, but seeing the analysis you guys make of Tony's character has opened my eyes to his character development. I could tell you all my favorite things about cap any time, but Tony was always a character I enjoyed, but never found myself relating to, or diving deep into. But hearing Jenna's comment about Tony being motivated by fear hits hard. It's so true, too, and I never realized it before. Reminds me of a certain moment [Spoiler redact, but iykyk].

I’m gonna have to argue with Holden saying that the choices made by Cap and Iron Man are out of character. They aren’t. They only seem out of character because the characters themselves have actually developed and changed over their respective trilogies and events. Iron Man is where Cap is now and Cap is where Iron Man was. Cap doesn’t trust the government with anything. Iron Man can’t trust himself to protect anyone and feels guilt about Ultron as well as anxiety about “Thanos”. They seem like pretty in character decisions to me. Besides Cap making out with Sharon Carter because what the heck 😂😂 Also hahaahaha 24:35 killed me

"This is a movie about consequences"

Marvel: an empire that crumbles from within is dead. Abraham Lincoln: a house divided amongst itself cannot stand.

This is my favorite captain America film. Love the idea of the government stepping in to control the Avengers. Would totally happen. Love the conflict between Tony and Cap too.👌

Zemo is the most underrated MCU villain. He broke the Avengers apart by turning them personally against one another at a crucial moment. Steve and Tony don't speak for YEARS after the events of this movie. Zemo did that. No alien army, no magic scepter, just Zemo.

Cap "this won't change anything." Tony "I dont care, he killed my mom." I feel that line is always glossed over, but is easily the best justification for a fight I've seen in any movie.

I have a couple things to say so bare with me: First of all, I really want to thank you Holden for putting in hours and hours of effort into all these videos and making them so enjoyable. I really feel like I'm there with you guys watching the movie. Props to you for being able to make such an enjoyable and friendly channel. This is more to Matt and Jenna, it really makes us all happy to see you guys giving these movies a chance. Me seeing you guys taking notes and really studying these movies shows me how much you care about no only the movies but us fans. That is one of many reasons why people like myself support you guys on patreon. Thank-you Holden, Matt Jenna, Pastor and Jeremy Keep up the Great Work!!! #Harmy #TeamIron-Man

It's kinda late but I just want to pitch in: Spider-Man actually isn't a major part of the Avengers, he only recently joined the New Avengers team in 2005 for as long as that lasted (Maybe 2007-10ish?). Spider-Man in the comics has always been a more solo type with occasional team-ups.

One thing that irks me about this movie is that Peter's line saying "When you can do the things that I can, but you don't, and then the bad things happen? They happen because of you." is exactly team Cap's argument in this movie. At the time I always took it as Peter was never really sure what the schism was really about and was just recruited for the fight, but I was annoyed they never really showed his realisation of what he was actually fighting for in the airport as the MCU moved forward.

surprised matt didn’t even ask where Hulk and Thor were

The greatest character arc we have seen so far has been Matt's. Really cool to see him getting into it and enjoying them

Jeremy should be a movie critic, he really does have the gift to dive deep into films and pick them apart which is amazing, keep up the good work Holden

"You roughed up New York, you need to be controlled'' Said by the man who works for the US army, who TRIED TO NUKE NEW YORK.

Are we not going to talk about that amazing intro Holden? Jesus Christ you really did a hell of a job with this vid. I really think this one is your best you’ve done so far, the editing is amazing and everyone brings up very eloquent and insightful points. Let’s now prepare for what’s to come in the MCU :D

From a character standpoint, I love how on the surface, Cap and Iron Man's positions seem out of character. If you look at them through the movies though, Stark has frequently made things worse, or created large problems when he acted on his own. While Cap has repeatedly had his superiors betray him, or go against his personal values. It makes sense that Stark would lean towards the side of oversight, while Cap would push against it.

We start these videos thinking they’re just gonna be reaction videos... but really it’s all about Matt’s Journey. And how can you not fist pump the air when he says “I might be a fan...” ?

25:50 Yes! I personally think it's better too. It sounds a lot more like a kid trying to explain their philosophy than a good quote. It's much more convincing that he actually believed what he was saying by explaining what it meant to him rather than just repeating the line we all know. The og quote is still iconic and I love it, but said in straight up conversation can sound almost cheesy, and I think they executed the idea behind the quote a lot better than just repeating it.

I don't know why people want it to be more colorful. I like how the muted tones make it feel more rounded in reality. I don't think it was a mistake.

To prepare for the unrealistic world of Doctor Strange, I will give Matt one piece of advice: 'Forget everything you think you know.' Great video as always. I hope your backs don't hurt too much from carrying us all through quarantine:)

I hope Matt and all of yu see this: I think people should stop thinking about Bucky being Steve's boyfriend, just imagine being on Cap's shoes, he literally went to the future and when he woke up, everyone he knew, was gone or had already lived their lives like Peggy, and he lost his best buddy, his lifelong friend, Wouldn't you try to save him, the one remaining close person u had from your life before everything changed? Bucky was like a brother to Steve even before the super soldier serum, so Steve wasn't going to let his best friend be taken away from him once again. I also want to mention that Steve has really good reasons to be against the Sokovia accords, remember what happende in Captain America The Winter Soldier, in that movie Steve was put to the test, his believes and his vision about good an bad were tested, he saw how Shiled was infiltrated by Hydra, how the big organizations can be corrupted and also how people in the government are not very trustworthy. Just wanted to leave that on the table, great video guys, also all of you had some really good points:))

24:40 Holden laughs because Matt calls an infinity stone a little dot.

Holden: the fanboy Jeremy: the cinephile Pastor: the historian Jenna: the everywoman Matt: the convert (formerly the uninitiated) I love hearing all of these different perspectives reacting not just to the movies, but to each other. What an awesome format.

I knew Civil War would sway Matt, he is now a fan of the MCU. 🙌🏼

They set up that Bucky killed tonys parents in winter soldier in the bunker screen with Zola

After the The Avengers this is my favorite MCU movie too. It's the biggest journey. The development of the new Avengers. Think about how great they made it without a super villain. So much comedy and so much drama and so much suspense. The twist of Winter Soldier killing Tony's parents was just fantastic writing. Matt saying that Captain America doesn't need the shield to be who he is makes me think that's how Tony learned that lesson and passed it down to Spider-man in Homecoming.

I'm calling it now. Matt will be crying at the end of Endgame. Like, hard.

Matt is going to love Killmonger and Thanos and Vulture and Mysterio.

I love watching matts reaction to the by gone jim moments.

YOOOO!!! well done in the intro. Whoever did that, well done.

Matt has been converted. His imagination muscle is ready to go.

When you're a hero you just can't save everyone. That's the job of a hero save as many as you can.

I'm so proud of Matt right now! He is going to love the Infinity Saga.

THAT SKIT IN THE BEGINNING BREATHED NEW LIFE INTO MY LUNGS

I absolutely LOVED the intros to this video. Really well thought out and executed. Keep up the great work all away around!

Matt: "He's worthy of that shield because he doesn't have to have the shield" ..........I think Matt's gonna like the Spiderman movie

I actually like Helmut Zemo as a Villain. I agree, that Zemo should be ranked just one spot under Thanos. Zemo is really a damn good tactician and was worthy of having his own series. I mean, who else had given that privilege?

This video like Civil war , is by far the best content up til this point. In the short time I've followed this channel its blossomed and become so layered and ready to take it to the next level. Without a doubt this channel will continue to grow.

What Jenna said abt Tony being driven on fear and being hyper focused on what he should and could do was so insightful. I’ve seen these movies multiple times and I’ve never thought abt that other than during age of ultron. Jenna you’re killing it and I love your comments

“If you’re nothing without the shield then you shouldn’t have it” Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy

Tony recognized the road because its the drive to his manor. Usually off to the side of these roads are little power stations or whatever. We've all seen them. Usually a transformer surrounded by fence. Being part of the Stark property, it would have a security camera. So there ya go.

26:38 Sums up the entire MCU right there.

I've never seen a channel that increases I'm quality like this does. Truthfully, we would of came for just matt, Holden and jennas reaction to the movie BUT we got a dope intro, pastor and the other guys reactions and now Holden is flexing his editing skills even more. 10/10 video . Looking forward to Dr. Strange.

holden be like : Ladies and Gentelman WE GOT HIM !

Dude, I don't know what you're talking about. Team Thor is clearly the best team.

Something I just realized (and maybe it’s nothing), but on the topic of the camera’s steadiness in the fight in this movie involving Winter Soldier, Captain America, and Iron Man being smoother and more direct compared to the fight between everyone at the airport as chaotic; I think there was a purpose to that. When Winter Soldier goes off after being triggered by the words, there was a direct purpose he had (I can’t figure out the right way to words this). There wasn’t really any room for him to change his mind, because of the brain washing he’d endured. Then going to the fight between everyone; having the camera work as chaotic works in the sense where no one wants to fight each other. There’s that inner conflict that’s pulling on each individual, emphasized by the camera shots being all over the place. And then it goes back to, as Holden says, slow and focused, because at this point the characters have a, I guess, defined sense of what they feel they need to do. They’re completely resolved in their position. The camera is expressing these characters' mindset. It’s just something I noticed, maybe someone has a different viewpoint. Hopefully, this made sense.

The short at the start is tidy, and the intro by Devin is also TIGHT.

I really liked this being 30min. Good to have talking before and after the movie. Always felt that 15min was a bit quick. Good work guys!

The passion in Matt's response is amazing. Especially from where his responses were in the beginning of this journey. Much love to Matt and all of you guys

Spider-man was my hero from childhood...and I always felt that Captain America was his hero.

16:22 “HAVING AN IDEALISTIC MENTALITY IS IMPORTANT, BUT FORCING IDEALS INTO A REALISTIC WORLD IS FUTAL” PREACH, PASTOR. so well said, and even more relevant today May 30, 2020

I noticed there were more edits in this one, good job Holden, the quality is increasing every video. Probably one of your best videos made. 👍

23:23 that nod killed me

I lovelovelove how much conversation this movie sparks! It was great hearing everyone’s opinions/thoughts at the end of the video. I’m Team Cap but i can totally understand Tony’s side, too. I love how they don’t TELL you which side to pick. They present each opinion equally. And because of that, you can see both sides. And how human their responses are.

The most unbelievable part of this movie is that the UN has any power.

Ya know, at the very begining a month back, I didn't like Matt like at ALL. I didn't understand how he thought and why he had the opinions he does. But as time went on and I saw more and more episodes of this series, (binge watched em all in one night) I put aside my first initial reaction to Matt and grew to actually respect him for the person he is. Yes, he may have different opinions than a lot of people, but he doesn't have a lack in morals or ethics. He's not like he's evil or anything (unless...) I came to understand why he thinks the way he does, as he probably grew up watching different movies than us. Sometimes the points he brings up make sense, in the spectrum of his mind. And some I even agree with like with X-3 or The Winter Soldier. I've also started using "Bygone Jim Moments" as a term, myself. Maybe my point is, I'm sorry I had a bad initial image of Matt in my head for a long time, as it was just made based on a single opinion he made about Avengers. I respect him now, and who he is as a person, and his opinions. Even if they are garbage sometimes 😏💭

My favorite video in the series so far. This may be my favorite MCU movie. I really enjoyed everyones comments and breakdowns. Thanks for another great video.

Is that raw unadulterated passion I smell? Cause the QUALITY of that intro. My god. I’m not sure if I’ve seen any other channel do something THAT awesome and with as much personalization for the INTO, not even the main part of the content.

Love matts reaction to Wanda’s fear line. She doesn’t get a lot of scenes but when she does it’s great!!

I'm starting to believe you're friend has just never seen movies before. Not just Marvel, DC, or Star Wars, just movies in general

So I used to think this was an amusing throwaway channel that I'd watch every once in a while, but Holden buddy, I feel like a dick for ever thinking that. You're channel is now the channel I have to watch when you pop up in the feed. You're intro was amazing brother, and watching Matt and crew grow and move through the MCU is serious entertainment. I love it, thank you.

Honestly if this is how all of the videos are gonna be, seriously take your time there’s no rush. Quality over quantity.

Matt remember your thought - “He’s worthy of that shield, because he doesn’t have to have that shield” - for it comes to play again down the road. Congrats gang - your best movie discussion so far. Further proof how great a movie Civil War is.

I also love how Matt is now looking forward to the Stan Lee cameos. #RIPStanLee
