Civil War (Spoiler Alert)

I have blogged about silly Hollywood movies a lot, and these two characters have been here over and over, I’ve even dreamed about one of them. So when I met my best movie buddy for our Civil War date I must admit that I had not even viewed a trailer for this movie – who needed a preview – these are our favorite guys, we have a standing date to view every upcoming avenger movie the moment the credits role for the current avenger movie !

Imagine my surprise when she asked me at the end of this one ….

“Are You Okay?”

I looked over at my most awesome, strong and loyal Iron Man fan with tears in my eyes and replied…

“No.”

The fierceness to which the director and animators make these two men fight broke my heart. All I could think of was that the title was a perfect warning… Civil War is in fact a fight amongst family when loyalty is pushed to its breaking point. Way too traumatic for this fan.

Maybe I am too old or too soft for these ultra action movies.

Maybe Jane Austen has converted me – a collection of all her books is on my bedside table and I admit that I am enjoying her words each night before bed.

Or, perhaps my heart has seen enough war between loved ones that I want my cartoon characters to fight evil and not each other

….you know, the way we are supposed to do in real life……
