Captain America: Civil War - 11 Things Learned From AsiaPop ComiCon Trailer

2. The Run-Way Scene Looks A Little... Awkward

When the footage was first unveiled at D23, there was a lot of talk about one brief scene in particular that sees Cap leading his Avengers into a mission. What is clearly designed to be a new hero shot in the same vein as the iconic spinning shot in New York in The Avengers, and the slow-mo synchronized leap in Age Of Ultron sees them all running in a line towards danger. Unfortunately, the money shot lacks something and feels a little comical (particularly out of context, as it was experienced by a lot of fans when it was leaked online after D23). As the Reddit thread states hilariously:
"One dude online said it best - "It looked like the scene in Anchorman when all the news teams converged in that alley and fought." It looked really goofy and awkward."
Goofy is right, and while it's a little early to say anything much about that scene, it just looks a little too low-rent A-Team without the self-conscious humour to have been used in promo footage. Just as the shot of The Vision wearing a suit sounds particularly odd without context.
