Superhero movies: 20 best superhero movie fight scenes of the decade

8. Not so civil war
Movie: Captain America: Civil War (2016)
The government cracked down on super-powered beings and Bucky was wanted for a terrorist act that he didn’t commit. Just like in Marvel Comics Civil War, Captain America and Iron Man found each other on opposite ends of the fight. With the Avengers roster split in two, who would come out on top?
Why it ranks as one of the greatest fight scenes from this decade’s superhero movies
There’s a plethora of reasons for this fight making the list besides the action being superb. There was the introduction of Spider-Man into the MCU, his first fight and the way he took on Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and helped Iron Man’s team get the win.
This was also the first time we saw Ant-Man become Giant Man which was cool and Spider-Man’s reaction to him growing and his plan to beat him was great as well. The comedy was well-timed too. Black Panther saying he didn’t care what Clint’s name was, Spider-Man’s banter, and Scott Lang saying he was Tony Stark’s conscience were all also hilarious.
Here’s why this fight ranks so high.
Since Cap’s team didn’t have big time power other than Wanda. The people putting this fight together in the fight in this movie had to make this look evenly matched. A difficult challenge that paid off. Even though Iron Man’s team won in the end, it wasn’t a blowout. Iron Man’s team had the power advantage and Cap’s team had more skill. This showed that skills can go a long way.
