Marvel's Captain America: Civil War: The Deluxe Junior Novel

Nessa Luna

I don't know why, but I kind of expected this story to be the exact story from the movie, written down and simplified for children. It wasn't that at all. I mean it had the same storyline, the same events still happened, but there were slight differences and I know it shouldn't bother me, but it did. 

Above all that, the fact that it was written for children annoyed me a bit because of there were so many exclamation marks used, like dude - chill out. (view spoiler)[And the fact that they completely erased Peggy's death and funeral (hide spoiler)], I understand they did it because this book came out around the same time as the movie (or sooner even, from the POV of the Americans), but still I missed that part so much and it bothered me. 

There was one thing I did love about this book, my favourite scene of all time - the paprikash scene with Wanda and Vision - was in there. At first glance I thought it wasn't int here and I was rather sad, but when I started reading the book it was there and as Wanda said, my spirits were lifted!

BUT THEN... There is a poster in the back, yeah? It's really cool and everything, were it not for the fact that WANDA. MAXIMOFF. IS NOT ON THAT POSTER AND THEY LITERALLY PUT A PICTURE OF A BLONDE HAYLEY ATWELL INSTEAD?! It's supposed to be Agent 13, Sharon Carter, I know, but the girl on that poster does not look like Emily Vancamp at all. Pfffffft. (view spoiler)[Sharon doesn't even fight in that final airport battle scene, why the fuck is she on half of the promo stuff while she literally does nothing but encourage Steve to fuck shit up even more?! (hide spoiler)]

So yeah, as much as I would have loved this book, I didn't. Such a shame.
