7. Tony Stark Takes A Dark Turn
In the Civil War comic book, Iron Man is portrayed as something of a villain, with his actions becoming increasingly more sinister as the story plays out. Captain America is also portrayed as being out of control and almost a little maniacal at times (there’s a great shot in the series where he’s being treated in a special medical chair as he ponders what’s next; the twist though is that it looks almost like a throne a dictator along the lines of Doctor Doom would sit in), but Iron Man definitely goes too far.
While Robert Downey Jr. is obviously beloved by fans and arguably the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most popular hero, the movie absolutely needs to take him down a darker path, especially if it involves him assembling the Thunderbolts, a team of villains he uses to assist his pro-registration team in the final battle.
