That is what I think makes Winter Soldier so good. It was a political thriller.

In fact, for me, the best of the MCU are the movies that are something first, and a super hero movie second.

The Winter Soldier - Political thriller
Civil War - Spy thriller
Spider-Man Homecoming - Slice of life high school story
Guardians of the Galaxy - Space opera
Ant-Man - Heist film

Nothing in TWS matches CW's airport fight but it still has a tighter, more interesting story plus Robert Redford as the villain.

I loved Civil War, but I feel Winter Soldier had the edge over it in suspense.
