2. Captain America: Civil War
The movie’s primary conflict sees the Avengers divided after being ordered to sign the Sokovia Accords, documents subjecting the team to governmental supervision and control with the hope of limiting the number of casualties from the team’s battles.
Due to their different backgrounds and experiences with the government, the team has differing ideas about whether or not they should sign. Their ideological battle becomes physical, with Vision siding with Iron Man and subscribing to the belief that the Avengers need oversight to prevent more disasters.
In this movie, we start to see hints of a romantic relationship forming between him and Wanda Maximoff. After the incident in Lagos causes the media blames her for the deaths of a couple of dozen civilians, Vision attempts to comfort her.
That relationship gets tested a bit when the two fight each other when Hawkeye comes to rescue her from the Avengers Compound, where Vision is keeping her under Tony’s orders. Wanda ultimately defeats him by overpowering the Mind Stone, forcing him to change his density, and pushing him through several floors.
They find themselves in another battle when Iron Man’s team attempts to apprehend Team Cap before they can fly to Siberia and stop Zemo from unleashing a group of supersoldiers on the world. After seeing the battle go farther than either of them intended, Vision and Wanda apologize to one another.
While Age of Ultron introduced the character, Civil War further expanded him. We get more emotional range from the synthezoid than we saw in his previous appearance. We see him show regret for accidentally knocking him out of the sky and injuring him, concern and care for Wanda, and confusion about the stone in his head and exactly what it does.
Bettany’s performance before was pretty stoic, with brief glimpses of personality here and there. However, in this movie, it felt like we were getting to see the character slowly become more human. While Tony and Steve’s fight is at the forefront, his arc is just as compelling.
