Todorov narrative theory
There are 5 key stages.
1. Equilibrium
2. Disruption
3. Recognition of disruption 
4. Attempt to solve disruption 
5. New Equilibrium  

Todorov applied to the movie I chose.
Equilibrium: 2 years after the New York incident Steve tries to live a modern life
Disruption: Bucky comes along and tries to kill them all he was brainwashed 
Recognition of Disruption: When Chaos happens in the blocks of the city. also when Nick Fury gets murdered(But he's not actually dead but they think he's dead)
Attempt to Solve: They get a trio superhero gang to kill the villains who brainwashed Bucky and try to stop Bucky to see if they can reverse the brainwash
New Equilibrium: They Defeat them and they continue to live their lives take down bad guys.
