Captain America Civil War Trailer 2 Breakdown! (Nerdist News w/ Kyle Hill)
Subscribe to UPROXX
The final trailer finally dropped for Captain America: Civil War on Thursday, and Dan already took us through a great GIF breakdown of things we learned from the new footage. Now we continue to speculate on what might happen in the movie because, no, we cant just wait to see it in theaters. Thats madness.
Mr. Sunday Movies whom you may remember from his previous deep dives into the trailers for Suicide Squad, Deadpool, X-Men: Apocalypse, and Batman V Superman put together the video above going through ten easter eggs to be spotted in the new trailer. Among them is the very Steve Ditko inspired Spider-Man suit with large back logo and constricting eyes, but the suit also seems to have been influenced by Iron Man, who may have helped Spidey build these extra web cartridges into his belt, something I missed on the first viewing:
Full CNN Republican Debate | GOP Presidential Debate March 10 2016 Miami Florida
Mr. Rubio accused Chris Christie of having a record similar to President Obama"s on issues like education, gun control and abortion.
Mr. Rubio, a senator from Florida, and Mr. Christie, the New Jersey governor, are attacking each other with a notable intensity, and in an interview Thursday on Fox Business Network, Mr. Rubio asserted that Mr. Christie has done a number of things that are very similar to the Obama agenda, giving several examples. We looked into his claims.
The fact of the matter is Chris Christie has supported Common Core and in fact has bad-mouthed Republicans that oppose it.
Mr. Christie was previously a supporter of the Common Core education standards. This is one of those areas where Ive agreed more with the president than not, he said in 2013.
But Mr. Christie had plenty of company: More than 40 states adopted the Common Core standards.
Mr. Christies bad-mouthing was also mild, particularly by his standards. He attributed some of the Common Core opposition among congressional Republicans to that knee-jerk reaction thats happening in Washington right now that if the president likes something, the Republicans in Congress dont, and vice versa.
Mr. Christie has since changed his position on Common Core, which has become an object of scorn among conservatives who view it as an example of government overreach. In May, Mr. Christie said that Common Core was simply not working.
Chris Christie has supported gun control. Chris Christie supported an assault weapons ban. Its the reason why he got into politics to begin with.
In 1993, Mr. Christie, then a 30-year-old lawyer, announced that he would try to unseat a Republican state senator.
"The issue which has energized me to get into this race is the recent attempt by certain Republican legislators to repeal New Jersey"s ban on assault weapons," Mr. Christie said in a statement, according to an article at the time in The Star-Ledger of Newark. "In today"s society, no one needs a semiautomatic assault weapon."
He took a similar stance two years later when he was running for the states General Assembly. Even as recently as 2009, when he was running for governor, Mr. Christie supported strict gun laws. FACT: Chris Christie supports the assault weapons ban and all current gun laws, his campaign said in a news release.
Mr. Christie has since moved away from his support of strict gun control laws and opposes banning assault weapons. His campaign website says that as governor, he has fought to defend gun rights, and highlights several instances in which he vetoed gun-related legislation.
In an interview on Wednesday on Fox News, he said that he had changed his mind since 1995, citing his time as the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey.
I learned what the limitations are of these laws that people are talking about, Mr. Christie said, and how they much, much more greatly infringe on law-abiding citizens than they do anything to prevent crime.
Chris Christie personally contributed to Planned Parenthood.
This is another claim that dates back to the early days of Mr. Christies political career.
In 1994, Mr. Christie was running to be a Morris County freeholder, the New Jersey version of a county commissioner.
"I support Planned Parenthood privately with my personal contribution, and that should be the goal of any such agency, to find private donations, Mr. Christie was quoted as saying in a Star-Ledger article. The article also quoted Mr. Christie as saying it"s also no secret that I am pro-choice.
Mr. Christies campaign said on Friday that Mr. Christie has no recollection of donating to Planned Parenthood.
Mr. Christie has since changed his views on abortion, and like other Republican presidential candidates, he supports cutting off federal funding for Planned Parenthood. As governor, he has vetoed funding for Planned Parenthood.
Explaining his shift on the issue of abortion rights, Mr. Christie tells a story from 1995, when his wife was pregnant with their second child and he heard the heartbeat of his unborn daughter during a prenatal visit.
On that ride home, I said my position just is not justifiable, he said last summer on Fox News. That"s a life, and I cannot countenance the taking of that life.

Bill"s prediction: Michigan State 80, Ohio State 69
Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruzmaintainedtheir positions on Common Core in the Republican presidential primary debate Thursday, even after moderator Jake Tapper presented evidence their positions are built on falsehoods.
Both Trump and Cruz have repeatedly denounced Common Core on the campaign trail, and have promised to repeal it if elected. But Tapper pointed out that these pledges dont seem to make sense, since Common Core was created and adopted at the state level, and there is no federal Common Core program to repeal or abolish. (RELATED: Trumps Common Core Rhetoric Makes No Sense)
Tapper asked Trump what specifically distressed him about Common Core, and Trump quickly replied that it was education through Washington, D.C., and that hed prefer to have locally directed education.
Tapper quickly went after Trumps statement.
The Common Core standards were developed by the states, Tapper told Trump. States and localities voluntarily adopt them, and they come up with their own curricula to meet those standards. So when you say education by Washington D.C., what do you mean?
Its been taken over by the federal government, Trump said. It was originally supposed to be that way [locally controlled], and it certainly sounds better that way, but its all been taken over now by the bureaucrats in Washington, and they are not interested in whats happening in Miami or in Florida in many cases, theyre more interested in their paycheck and their big bureaucracy than they are in taking care of the children.
Trumps reply won applause from the audience, but nonetheless doesnt make much sense. Common Core has at times been promoted by the federal government (such as with the Race to the Top stimulus program), but it has never been controlled by it, and there are no Department of Education bureaucrats actively managing it. In fact, under current federal law, it would be illegal for the Department of Education to foist Common Core on the states.
Tapper then questioned John Kasich, the only remaining Republican candidate who supports Common Core, who pointed out that Common Core still allowsstates and school districts to set their own curricula.
A short time later, Tapper presented Cruz with a similar question.
[Sen. Cruz,] you object to Common Core, Tapper said. Gov. Kasich says its local school boards dveloping local curriculum to meet higher standards. Whats wrong with that?
Cruz provided only an indirect response.
Common Core is a disaster, he said. And if I am elected president, in the first days as president, I will direct the Department of Education that Common Core ends that day.
Cruz then offered an explanation of how the Obama administration had foisted Common Core on the states.The Obama administration has abused executive power in forcing Common Core on the states, he said. It has used Race to the Top funds to effectively blackmail and force the states to adopt Common Core.
[But] anything done with executive power can be undone with executive power, and I intend to do that, Cruz continued, before repeating his broader pledge to destroy the Department of Education entirely.
Cruzs claim contained some truth: the Obama administration did use Race to the Top to encourage Common Cores adoption. But it didnt force states to adopt it (four states never did), and Race to the Top ended years ago, so there is no longer any federal money at all being used to keep states tethered to Common Core.
Several states, such as Oklahoma and South Carolina, have already tweaked Common Core or repealed it entirely. Cruz, meanwhile, could not force the remaining states using Common Core to repeal it without running roughshod over current federal law, which forbids federal meddling in school standards.

Mets spring training report - Goose Gossage reaction
TAMPA, Fla. Hall of Famer Goose Gossage has criticized Toronto star Jose Bautista and New York Mets slugger Yoenis Cespedes for the way the pair celebrated home runs during the playoffs last year.
Gossage called Bautista a disgrace to the game during a profanity-laced interview in Tampa on Thursday.
Hes embarrassing to all the Latin players, whoever played before him, Gossage told ESPN. Throwing his bat and acting like a fool, like all those guys in Toronto. Cespedes, same thing.
Bautista memorably flipped his bat after hitting a three-run homer that gave the Blue Jays the lead in the seventh inning in Game 5 of the A.L. Division Series against Texas.
Hes entitled to his opinion, Bautista said. I dont agree with him whatsoever. Ive never talked to him. I dont know him. Whatever reason or agenda hes on is fine with me. Im not going to start picking a fight, let alone with a Hall of Famer.
Gossage, a guest spring training instructor for the Yankees, made his comments before the Yankees played Toronto.
Bautista said he had no plans to reach out to Gossage.
I dont think its my job, Bautista said. Im just going about my work. Showing up here to do my job, and help this team win ballgames.
Cespedes added his own highlight bat flip after a home run during the Game 3 of the N.L. Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Like I said before, whenever a pitcher strikes someone out they get to celebrate, too, Cespedes said through a translator in Port St. Lucie. They get their moment, revel in it. Why cant the batters get to enjoy their success too? Im not too worried about what anyone says about me. I just go out there and do my job. Thats all Im going to focus on.
Cespedes added he did not know who Gossage was, but guessed he was a pitcher based on the comments.
Mets manager Terry Collins said Cespedes and Bautista arent the only ones who flip their bats.
The old-timers, thats something that wasnt approved of years ago, Collins said. Today its different.
Captain America: Civil War - Trailer World Premiere
Look out, here comes the Spider-Man (to the Marvel Cinematic Universe)!
There"s only about 5 seconds (literally) of footage of the new wall-crawler out there now, coming as a "post-credits" tag to the new trailer released Thursday, but it"s enough to get a sense of the character - and his look - compared to what"s come before on the big screen in Sony"s Toby Maguire-led Spider-Man and Andrew Garfield-led Amazing Spider-Man film franchises.
First impression? It"s a much smoother, simpler design, without unnecessary lines and textures thrown in the way of what should be there: red, blue, spider emblem, webs.
The youth of Tom Holland, and his version of Peter Parker, is hard to note on a quick, fully-costumed shot like this, but the actor, trained in dance and acrobatics, shows off his athleticism with a flip and landing that"s signature Spidey. The unique background of Holland, compared to the other actors who"ve played the role, should make for some truly spectacular fight scenes when he gets a true chance to shine in his own films and future team-ups, with less CGI than what"s come in the past. Note, all the actors who portray Spider-Man in the "Marvel Universe LIVE" traveling show are dancers with an equal amount of break-dancing, gymnastics, and martial arts training - having an actor with a similar background should change the way we see Spidey move on screen, and that"s seen even here in the 5-second shot. Remember, there were videos of him doing similar flips on his own, prepping for the role, so it"s possible and even probable that he at least motion-captured the moves, if not performed them in costume himself.
(Photo: Marvel Studios)
The costume had to be different and stand out from the two costumes we"ve seen on Spider-Man on the big screen in the last fourteen years, but still remain the recognizable and iconic image we"re used to, so that the general public looks at it and absolutely says, "Yes, that"s Spider-Man."
The Amazing Spider-Man costume added a lot of blue, both on the sides of the torso, around the arms (though there was a wrap-around red stripe there, still, too), and all the way into the hands and fingers. The blue was brightened, as well, to be a slightly more natural than a navy blue. Gone, too, was the red webbing "belt" around the waist, and piping going from fingers all the way down to the built-in-boots accentuated the lines of Spidey"s body. The spider emblem on the chest was narrower, with a longer body and legs, but less wide on the chest overall, to accommodate the narrower strip of red down the rest of the torso.
(Photo: Marvel Studios)
The new Spider-Man costume, then, takes a middle stance between the two, really. There"s a slightly wider strip of red down the torso, and the red "belt" around the waist has come back, but it"s mixed in with blue, not a straight red band. The torso strip ends right at the waist, instead of extending slightly below the hips as both previous versions did. The arms still have a lot of blue, with the entire sides and under-arms down to the elbow covered. The red and blue then link together, giving the appearance of an armored armband of sorts, with blue wrists and then all-red gloves, or at least it looks like it from the first real shot of his arms, mid-flip and out of focus. A full blue ring just under the shoulder completes the "gauntlet armor" look to his arms, borrowing from knights and archers alike.
The Spider-emblem is actually the smallest it"s ever been, barely visible even in a close up. The legs have much sharper lines to them with no curvature, ending up pointing straight up or down, and the Spider"s abdomen and thorax are basically one large egg-shape, rather than distinguishable sections like they have been on both previous costumes.
(Photo: Marvel Studios)
Of course, the biggest difference is the addition of the rumored (and now confirmed) lenses in his eyes, letting him focus down into a squint (if you missed it, compare this image to the one closer to the top). We don"t know exactly what those will do just yet - are they just still photo cameras? Is he looking through a heads-up-display like Iron Man, who is rumored to help him construct his costume? We"ll find out in a couple of months.
That"s what we can gleam from our first, brief shot of Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We"ll see much more on May 6, 2016 when Captain America: Civil War officially debuts.
