Me too. I'm utterly done with grimdark. It's everywhere now. It was downright refreshing to see a film that played on the character's emotional vulnerabilities and deep attachments to each other without throwing in a major character death or sexual violence every few seconds for cheap drama.

[kaijinscendre]

Exactly. And it ended the film with an intimate fight between the three instead of "Oh no, now we have to join together to fight this [insert group of villains or one giant villain]."

[ariakas]

I must chime in to add that I am also delighted they didn't go that well-worn route either >>

[ketita]

to clarify: I am 100% with you. I didn't want more grimdark, and certainly not character death or sexual violence.
More moments like Bucky's realization he was going to be reprogrammed, though. Or like, idk, what if when Cap and Bucky went off, Cap thought Rhodey had died, but had to leave anyway? Stuff like that. Pain. Happy pain.

I thought Tony's reaction to his parents' death was fantastically acted (as well as Tony's reaction to Rhodey being hurt). The scenes with T'Challa reacting to his father's death were also fantastic.

Somehow the movie made me sympathize with Zemo for a bit. His speech to T'Challa and almost suicide was wonderfully portrayed. I especially love that T'Challa was able to let go of his pursuit of revenge ("the living are not done with you yet" line was bomb).

[ketita]

Oh, there were lots of great moments, and basically 100% of T'Challa's moments were amazing. And yeah, I thought the ending with Zemo was especially well done.

The thing is, T'Challa reacting to his father's death didn't qualify as angst for me, because there was nothing unexpected or exceptional about it. Good angst should hurt. I'm not saying it wasn't emotional or touching, but for me, it wasn't angsty.

AYRT I agree with you too. I thought they handled the sad scenes so well. There were gut-punch moments and they were a lot more original and unexpected because they weren't going for a massacre.

[tabaqui]

YES YES YES.
