I'm Not Messing Around, I'm Doing Important Stuff in The Superhero Cinematic Civil War Thread - Part 61

[Lily Adler]

Let me see, 25 is a surprisingly small amount for such a quantity of CBMs. I don't know if it's a little bit of recency bias, but superhero summer 2025 is present.

3. X-Men: Days of Future Past
4. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
5. Batman Returns
6. X2
7. The Dark Knight
8. The Crow

FIRST CLASS. I knew I was forgetting something important.

FIRST CLASS. I knew I was forgetting something important.

We've all forgotten First Class except for Charles and Erik.

Seeing Fantastic Four... I'm happy for the Fantastic Four fans that seem to have gotten the movie they wanted.

I mean we see the vision.

I can't really argue with that top 6 but seeing Unbreakable and X2 in a top 10 superhero movies in 2025 is strange. Guardians Vol. 2 being the one on that list over the other two is a choice, as is Watchmen being on there.

While I enjoyed Thunderbolts and it was fun, it does not belong anywhere near an all-timer list for comic book movies. It is not a top 25 comic book movie.

 

[Ninjablade]

Oh god, 25 feels like too many spots. Mine would probably look like:

1. Spider-Man
2. Batman Returns
3. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
4. The Batman
5. Spider-Man 2
6. The Dark Knight
7. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
8. Superman: The Movie
9. Unbreakable
10. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
11. Logan
12. Batman Begins
13. Captain America: The First Avenger
14. Batman (1996)
15. The Incredibles
16. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
17. The Amazing Spider-Man
18. Iron Man
19. Deadpool
20.The Avengers
21. The Wolverine
22. Superman II: The Donner Cut
23. The Crow (1994)
24. Big Hero 6
25. Kick Ass

Honestly, once you get past the first 6, it's just kind of one big ass bucket plucked into random order.

Never have an interest in making ranked lists personally, but I do think it's awesome there's enough superhero movies that someone could actually make a top 25 list.

Same. But in my case, I’m too fickle.

It'll just be X-Men, Deadpool, and Fantastic Four.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

It'll just be X-Men, Deadpool, and Fantastic Four.

Naaah. More Batman films more than anything.

Only Fox films I'd include is X2 and DOFP. I'm not a fan of the rest because they weren't X-Men movies.

 

[Sithborg]

I look forward to whoever they cast as Storm being put into these contacts.

 

[Lily Adler]

Naaah. More Batman films more than anything.

First Class is right there.

My sister had the same kind of contacts.

 

[Sithborg]

Logan is top tier.

 

[Lily Adler]

Logan is top tier.

Should have been the end to the FoX-Verse, but Ryan wanted another paycheck.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

First Class is right there.

An Elseworlds.

Logan is top tier.

Eh. From a Wolverine point of view.

Fine film, but not my cup of tea.

 

[Lily Adler]

I appreciate the lack of rage at Spider-Man 2 and not No Way Home.

 

[Drizzle]

I feel like people are pressured to like Superman because it came first.

By the way, I watched Happy Gilmore 2 and seeing Bad Bunny's performance in it makes me think Sony made a terrible mistake cancelling the El Muerto movie.

 

[Lily Adler]

I wonder who the Nickelback of the 2020's will be.
