Someone released a nice, big, HD screencap. It gives us a better look at the costume. And yeah, it kinda looks better here, honestly.

Yeah, that's better. The dappling helps. Other one, homeslice kinda looked like a Macy's parade float.
Watching again, his mask eyes have what look like shutters, almost, as opposed to Deadpool's working just like normal eyes.
The suit was great, and Jaimee Fox was amazing, that's... pretty much all the good I can say about that movie. Oh, the chemistry between Peter and Gwen was really good, they were super cute together.
And the music was good.
...but Spider-Man 1 had Nickleback.
Those are exactly how my pajamas look on me. That's just how we do it in New York, guys.
From a conversation with a friend, discussing the difference in how the conflict is set up:
"Why are Iron Man and Captain America fighting?"
"Well, because they disagree about government oversight of superheroes. Iron Man thinks that people with special powers need to be reigned in, after his experience creating Ultron nearly destroyed the world. Captain America, on the contrary, thinks that organizations can be corrupted without realizing it and that the best moral guide for a hero is themselves, especially given how HYDRA was nearly able to use SHIELD hovercarriers to wipe out millions of lives in a single stroke. They're both kind of right and both unwilling to compromise."
"Oh. Well, why are Batman and Superman fighting?"
"Because the movie's called Batman v Superman, asshole."

What a menace!
Thinking about it (admittedly a bit too much), the Civil War trailers are a marketing triumph. They've shown several minutes of the movie and shown off the new characters, as well as given even an unfamiliar viewer a good enough background to understand what's going on. And yet it still leaves you with plenty of questions about how it's all going to play out and what they haven't shown. It excites and entices without spoiling, provokes discussion, and stokes the flames of the fandom even higher.
One thing I noticed: the snippets of footage Thunderbolt Ross shows of New York, DC, and Sokovia had displays on them indicating the property damage costs and number of casualties. NYC during the Chitauri invasion: 74 casualties. DC: 23 casualties. Sokovia: 177 casualties. Or about 5 seconds worth of the Man of Steel climax.

They had a HOSTILE ALIEN FORCE invade Manhattan and they only had 74 casualties? That battle took place over like 10 square blocks, filled with thousands of people. That's amazing.
The Sokovia attack involved an ENTIRE CITY, but at least that one was all Tony's fault.

Total number of people typically occupying WTC at any given moment: 67,000
Official number of people killed on 9/11 (incl. aircraft): ~2,600
So yes, only 74 does sound amazing.

Whoa, that was Ross? I'm betting the full movie will have that Iron Man vs Hulk's location among the "this shouldn't happen" spots.
Most of them were probably in the initial strafing runs. Afterwards the Avengers and police were evacuating people through the basements and subway tunnels. That probably kept most of them out of the line of fire.
Makes me wonder if the only place massive casualties happened was the Chitari "kill pit", the one that Cap saved all those people from once discovered.
Anyways, the trailer was amazing. Anyone notice when his eyes squinted there is a light shutter sound, like there are some type of gears driving them? I have a feeling this suit in Tony Stark enhanced.

"Look, kid, the mask is cute and all, but we can't tell what the hell you're thinking behind it. We gotta get you some moving eyes."
Goddammit, Parker. 
Something I just realized: it's actually rather brilliant of Marvel's ad team to reveal Spidey now, right before Batman vs Superman comes out. It's that one big thing that could keep people's attention on Civil War and maybe hurt BvS. Doubtful, but I can see that being their reasoning. Just really good timing.
Let's be honest: Nightman vs Dayman doesn't need help hurting itself.
I keep forgetting Baron Zemo is supposed to be in Civil War, because as far as I can tell he hasn't shown up in any trailers, nor have I seen any set shots of him.
I kind of wonder if he's going to end up like Strucker and be more of a plot device than a long-term threat.

You shut your whore mouth...
They made Zola work as a face on a screen, and you don't want to see what they can do with Zemo...
...
Although obviously they'll be using Helmut, or at least they should for modern day stuff.
Wow, I hadn't read much on his origin, but that's hilarious. Even his son had a glue accident.
Pretty good cut of footage from all 12 Marvel films and Agents of SHIELD that explains exactly what the motivations are for each side of Civil War.
HE'S DOING THE THING, THE THING WITH THE HANDS
HOOK 'EM!
...cut to Strange, who just looks at him and says (in a very British accent), "Later" or "Not right now" and then continues hurrying off to whatever he is doing.
