I chose the greek heroes Theseus and Atalanta to compare with thor and the black widow. I chose theseus and atalanta because they show similar morals and values as captain america and the black widow.

“Sometimes I Want to Punch You in Your Perfect [Movie]” Captain America: Civil War is more than just another superhero movie. It’s more than a two-and-a-half-hour special effects smorgasbord/fanboy wet dream (although it is that too). It’s more than Captain America vs Iron Man. Captain America: Civil War is a consequence.
