Captain America Civil War - 12 Things Fans Will Just Have To Accept

6. Everyone's Abilities Will Be Nerfed

In addition to the problem of there being no clear, decisive winner, it seems extremely likely that the major combatants are going to have their abilities conveniently nerfed for the sake of the narrative. Sure, it helps that The Hulk and Thor are already nowhere to be seen (which is kind of a shame as it'd be hilarious to see them both get shrunk with Ant-Man's shrink discs), but there's still a ton of power to deal with, especially from Iron Man, The Vision, Scarlet Witch, Cap and Ant-Man. I mean, why can't Ant-Man just shrink everyone and make fast work of them? Expect an awkward scenario where nobody is at their most powerful for dubious reasons, and though in fairness killing each other probably isn't the end goal anyway, we're likely not going to see a ton of direct combat as a result: there will almost certainly be another antagonistic force thrown in the middle to act as a buffer.
