>>93270974>I think the best way to describe it is that The Avengers took themselves too seriouslyWhich has carried over to many of the MCU films, and most of them suffer for it.
This is partly why Guardians of the Galaxy has been received so well, it's not trying to be anything other than some generally lighthearted fun. Yes, there are moments of tension and moments of sadness, but on the whole it's about a group of friends dealing with insane threats and coming out stronger because of it.
Civil War is the antithesis of this, because we're expected to enjoy the Avengers, a group of heroes who have worked together to save the world multiple times, being at each others throats over what essentially amounts to petty bullshit. If the Guardians are a family having fun together, the Avengers in Civil War are a family going through shitty personal drama, and there is not a goddamn person on the planet who likes watching he-said-she-said family drama.
