* EurekaMoment: [[spoiler:Zemo had one during the year after Sokovia fell when he was trying to figure out how to go after the Avengers. He knew trying to take on Earth's Mightiest Heroes directly was a fool's errand; if much more powerful beings like Loki or Ultron couldn't get the job done, what chance did a mere human (even one who was an experienced and skilled black ops soldier) have? But then Zemo realized ''that'' was the key: ''don't'' fight them head on. Instead, find a way to get the Avengers to fight ''each other''.]]

* AdaptationDistillation: The movie greatly simplifies the original ''Civil War'' event by focusing mostly on the intra-Avengers conflict, instead of its effects on the greater Marvel Universe. Furthermore, the movie borrows elements from ''ComicBook/CaptainAmericaWinterSoldier'', ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfCaptainAmerica'', ''Captain America: No Escape'' and ''The Trial of Captain America''. It also opts for an interesting conclusion. [[spoiler:In the comic, Steve is demoralized that he's making things worse and gives up during the final battle with Tony, leading to a Pro-Reg victory and the law sticking for the next several years. Here, Steve is resolute in his belief that the Accords are wrong, decisively defeating Tony and escaping to the underground. The Accords still go through, but Steve and his allies are fugitives and thus unbound by them. In a way, both sides get a win.]]

** Inverted with Hawkeye ([[Characters/HawkeyeClintBarton Clint Barton]]). He wasn't involved in the original ''Civil War'' because he was dead at the time, and instead Hawkeye II ([[Characters/HawkeyeKateBishop Kate Bishop]]) participated in the conflict. Since he's alive and well during the MCU's version, he's one of the heroes involved.

** Hawkeye, or rather [[Characters/HawkeyeClintBarton Clint Barton]], was completely absent during the original ''Civil War'' event due to being, well, dead at the time. ''A'' Hawkeye participated in the original ''Civil War'', but that was his successor [[Characters/HawkeyeKateBishop Kate Bishop]]. Since he's alive here, he's front and center for the event.
