Overall, this certianly was not a bad book! It was a bunch if little essays compiled together to compare and contrast Iron Man and Captian America's reasons in splitting the Avengers. However, the book bounced between the movies and the comics quite frequently (within the essays, creating a conflicting narrative against/for either character) and the authors seem to have a bias against Tony Stark and it showed in several of the essays (which is fine, to each their own, but it gave Tony a moral disadvantage).

I would have liked to see more evidence based on studies and not "This is shown in this comic book! This proves my point!". The essays consisted of examples from the comic book storylines and didn't really have any particular order. That being said, it's not clear when speaking about the MCU and the Marvel comic books, because it kind of tells like they're one in the same?

The end if the book had a whole chapter/essay about Freud and his psychosexual stages, which is AUTOMATICALLY a full star off, because screw Freud. (People are gonna come for me in the comments, I know he did a lot kicking off the Psychology field, but I think a lot of his ideas were very wrong.)

Anyways, a quick read (that took forever to finish cuz I'm a busy dude) and a fairly interesting one.
