The reason why the Civil War comic was so monumental is that created a major shift in Marvel. Heroes were turning on one another. Avengers were wanted criminals. Iconic characters were killed off left, right, and centre, including Captain America.

So, when Kevin Feige announced the third Captain America would adapt this epic storyline, fans hit the roof and instantly began speculating which of the superheroes would kick the bucket.

But because Disney can't kill off Avengers willy-nilly, none of the superheroes die, making the conflict not as dramatic as it should've been. The only person who is severely injured is War Machine - but he's back to normal in the next film after being fitted with leg braces.
