Captain America: Civil War Review - 13 Non-Spoiler Reasons It's The Best Marvel Movie Ever

13. Zemo

Daniel Brühl's Zemo is an antagonist unlike any other in the Marvel Cinematic Universe or superhero movies in general. He does awful things, but he's not evil for the sake of being evil. His motivation is expertly constructed so that the audience and even The Avengers themselves can eventually understand why he is coming after them.

Some fans may not like the changes that were made to Zemo compared to comic book canon, but they work well for the purposes of this story. In a movie that spends most of its time focusing on the heroes battling each other, the villain had to be someone with clear, concise motivations that drove him or her to make a major impact on the story.

Zemo delivers on all of that.
