MCU correctly ranked

Here is my unsolicited list of the MCU

The way I define a good Marvel movie is the same as every other movie.

I like a movie with a good story, compelling character, great writing and brilliant directing.

Lots of marvel movies fail on so many basic traits for making a good movie so they rely on quips that sacrifice development

There are 21 films in this list released in the 2010s.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

This movie was the one I knew the MCU was sticking around.

Loved the spy espionage thriller of the movie and the Russo's Directed the movie so wonderfully. I can see why they replaced Joss Whedon to finish the original avengers films

Avengers: Infinity War

A culmination from a decade of the MCU and wow. The way they wrote Thanos was truly great. I enjoyed how they seperated it into 2 movies and the first is building the villain and it takes time to show all sides of the character. Perfectly balanced

Avengers: Endgame

Bitter sweet ending. Such heartbreak for the story of Hawkeye. Time travel done partially well. More well done than most movies. So many characters got shining moments and it ended an era and didn't fall on its face!

Captain America: Civil War

If you want to see great action scenes. This is the movie. The story is solid and makes you appreciate all the character building up to this point

Thor: Ragnarok

What a breath of fresh air for the Thor franchise. It was a really fun comedy Taika did a great job for his MCU debut!

Guardians of the Galaxy

James Gunn has such a ion for movie making. And this movie encapsulates his love story telling. Honestly I started dislking Chris Pratt after this movie because he was being miscasted due to this film however, James casted him perfectly as Star Lord

Cannot wait to see what he does for DC.

Ant-Man

A refreshing new character for the avengers roster. What a fun time,
First reference the avengers exist from an outsider. The Thomas the Tank Engine scene was so good

Black Panther

Chadwick Boseman was god tier in his role of Black Panther. Michael B Jordan is still one of the best MCU villains. So well written! Pity the CGI department took the day off when they needed to animated the final fight.

Iron Man 3

Controversial take having it so high on the list. But hey, really enjoyed what Shane Black did with Tony's character. Just sad that this movie feels like it has no impact on any other MCU thing until Secret Invasion where they made extremis worse

Spider-Man: Homecoming

This movie was fine. It was nice seeing a full movie with Spiderman in the MCU. I still very much dislike seeing Tom Holland as spiderman. Very much got lucky to have the role as I haven't seen him evolve his acting abilities which I feel he must

Doctor Strange

What a quipfest. My goodness watching Cumberbatch trying to do MCU humour was rough. Brits usually are better at humour than his performance.

Tilda Swinton was such a good character in this movie

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

For the longest time I thought this was better than the original. I am mistaken, the movie was drawn out and I can barely a thing.

Captain America: The First Avenger

I appreciated this movie within the trilogy of captain america, but as a stand alone it wasn't too great. The ending with the time jump was fun, everything else felt like build up for another story

Spider-Man: Far From Home

There was so much to enjoy about this movie. Really enjoyed the Mysterio sequences. Jake was casted really well. But other than that the movie just didn't stick the landing with anything else it tried but never got there.

J.K was a great addition

The Avengers

Time put this movie in. Looking back on this over 10 years later. I believe this movie was just not great. Joss Whedon was a poor choice of director/writer for this. I'm glad after Age of Ultron the studio understood that too

Captain Marvel

Look, it wasn't the worst movie. Added more questions than it answered and set up the Skrulls which as a concept I'm very not interested shapeshifters. Such a lazy trope

Avengers: Age of Ultron

This movie was busy. So busy, there want much of a reason why it was this messy. Introduced so many new characters to a roster thats already massive. Not entirely Joss Whedons fault. But he definitely didn't do much to save it

Ant-Man and the Wasp

Much like the MCU my list has phases and welcome to the bottom phase. The movies that I don't really want to see again without being on a marathon

Ant-Man and the wasp was just dull. I couldn't get behind it and it left me feeling what would have happened if Edgar Wright was able to do his trilogy

Thor
35

Struggled to put this so high on the list. Was debating if this sucked more than iron 2 or not.

Well you can see my choice

Iron Man 2

And here this is immediately after Thor.

Both movies suck in different ways. World building in Thor was just better than this film

Thor: The Dark World

So much recasting in this film and Christopher Eccleston got the Eric Bana treatment and played a boring bad guy who couldn't show acting range.

This movie was just a bad idea brought to the screen
