I'm thinking of taking another Imax trip myself.
IMAX it is then. Thanks.

I wish there was IMAX in my city... :/ I actually saw the film in Ankara, i was at Ankara at the time and there were IMAX theathers at there but the one i went was full :/ so i went to a regular theather... I didn't have time for another session, i needed to catch a bus. :/ I saw the IMAX and regular widescreen compereson on youtube or something btw, and IMAX shows alot more sections in every scene... :/ So if you have a chance to watch it in IMAX, definitely go for IMAX.

Think people need to relax a little. It's just a film we're all talking about.

For clarification of one of my earlier comments (which to be honest I shouldn't have to do, but oh well), when I said that watching films I shouldn't have made me less sensitive, I didn't mean in a 'kids are goddamned snowflakes these days' kind of way. What I meant was it made me understand very early that horror and monsters and films are all fantasy, and I didn't have nightmares or episodes or anything like that. I became less sensitive to the medium.

Part of that was good parenting I suppose. My parents were always pretty good at explaining things in films were not real.

If the last movie is Cap's swan song, it will make me a very sad fan.

Cap has been the heart of the MCU, and the Avengers movies in general, and I can't see anyone filling those shoes, much as I would like to see Sebastian Stan take up the mantle.

There might be too much baggage, both within the story and from a viewer's perspective, to letting a (brainwashed) ex-villain become the new Captain America. I think it'd be more palatable if Falcon replaced Steve Rogers.

Having typed that...Black Panther could be the new leader as he's also already the leader of a country.

I would be absolutely fine with BP being the new Avengers lead, but I hated Sam as Cap in the comic. I actually really like the interplay between Sam and Bucky in Civil War, and think it'd be a nice counter point to Sam and Steve's relationship.

I see what you're saying about the viewer perspective, but what better way to get him back over as a hero as taking over the Cap mantle. He's already been treated quite sympathetically in Civil War.

It's a tough proposition either way though, Chris Evans absence will not prove an easy fix.

I like idea of Bucky as Cap as well. They can take more ideas, even story arcs for films from Brubaker's Cap run which is a great run as far as i heard.

Have you read Captain America? Bucky already replaced Cap momentarily. Check The death of Captain America (Captain America vol. 5 #25 - 42). Great story by Ed Brubaker.

Also, T’Challa is a great king, but he is not Steve Rogers. Cap is irreplaceable.

And yet Cap was replaced by (several) other characters as you yourself already referenced.

What I really want to see is...American Dream.
