Post - The Marvels - Rank The MCU Films

[InCali]

If I answered this question 25 times, you'd probably get 25 different answers. I did see BW yesterday and thought it was a good, solid addition to the MCU. I'd probably rank it somewhere in the upper half of MCU movies. I wasn't really very excited by it and it seemed rather anti-climactic, but I liked it.

 

[psylockolussus]

I liked it as well. My main problem with it though is it should have been released before Infinity War.

Imagine if we got an Iron Man 4 movie set before Endgame in phase 4. I'd have the same feeling.

I mentioned the same thing in the lounge earlier today.

 

[Godzillasaurus]

There's too many movies for me to make a master list, but I use a tier system to rank MCU movies. Here are my rankings (Tier 1 = best). The movies in each tier aren't ranked amongst themselves. Incredible Hulk is not part of my MCU headcanon

Tier 1:
-Captain America: The Winter Soldier
-Avengers: Age of Ultron
-Captain America: Civil War
-Thor: Ragnarok
-Avengers: Infinity War

Tier 2:
-Iron-Man
-Guardians of the Galaxy
-Ant-Man
-Doctor Strange
-Spider-Man: Far From Home

Tier 3:
-Black Panther
-Ant-Man and the Wasp
-Black Widow

Tier 4:
-Iron-Man 2
-Captain America: The First Avenger
-The Avengers
-Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
-Spider-Man: Homecoming
-Avengers: Endgame (yes, you read that correctly, sue me)
-WandaVision
-Falcon and the Winter Soldier
-Loki

Tier 5:
-Thor
-Iron-Man 3
-Thor: The Dark World
-Captain Marvel

Overall Top 3:
1. Avengers: Infinity War
2. Iron Man
3. Captain America: The Winter Soldier

 

[NeverReadComics]

I rank the films based on two criteria:
a) the film itself;
b) its contribution to the MCU.

From worst to best:

24. Black Widow: terrible movie that adds nothing to the MCU and ruins the send off for a loved character.
23. Iron Man 3: not a terrible movie but adds nothing to the MCU except confusion. Extremis?
22. Thor 2: turned out to be a key movie which introduced an infinity stone/liquid which makes the poor quality of the film even more unforgivable.
21. Iron Man 2: poor movie and doesn’t really add anything.
20. The Incredible Hulk: I don’t mind the change of actor but there’s so many other loose ends that have never been dealt with.
19. Captain Marvel: she’s too powerful which always made it difficult but also the film is quite silly.
18. Ant Man & The Wasp: not a bad movie but there’s better. Crucially it did play a key role in End Game so set it up nicely.
17. Age of Ultron: the worst of the team ups.
16. Thor: a solid intro movie for the character.
15. Spider-Man Far From Home: could be lower down but it was amusing and, unlike with Iron Man 3 that wasted the chance to build on the narrative, there was already a pretty solid narrative behind spider man who has actual super powers.
14. Dr Strange: solid intro movie.
13. Guardians of the Galaxy 2: love these films but it was weaker than the first.
12. Ant Man: a heist/comedy/superhero movie. What’s not to like.
11. Captain America: solid intro movie.
10. Iron Man: has to make the top 10. It kicked the whole thing off and introduced the main character, all whilst being one of the few origin stories in the series.
9. Spider-Man Homecoming: great coming of age/superhero movie.
8. Winter Soldier: great spy/superhero movie.
7. Black Panther: great political drama/superhero movie.
6. Guardians of the Galaxy: hilarious.
5. Thor Rangarok: hilarious-er.
4. End Game: awesome especially the final battle.
3. Avengers: the thing that made it all click together and it worked.
2. Civil War: just a very well done movie that could’ve easily been a flop.
1. Infinity War: where to begin? Barely a scene or line out of place. Perfection.

Avg: 8.385

The addition of Raimi's films in the canonical MCU does bring down the overall average somewhat. But I can't say I'm all that mad about it. There's a chance these rankings will shift if Ock, Goblin, and Tobey's spidey/Dunst's MJ wow me.

 

[Appfanincaaland]

I'm partial to the earlier stuff (and haven't liked the D+ stuff at all), as you can see.

Masterpiece - Avengers Infinity War

Great - Thr Avengers, Iron Man, Capt America: The First Avenger

Very Good - Thor, Capt America:The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy

Good - Spiderman: Far From Home, Avengers Age of Ultron, Antman, Antman & the Wasp, Spiderman: Homecoming, Avengers Endgame, Capt America: Civil War

Fine - Dr Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, Iron Man 2, Black Panther, Iron Man 3

Not Good - Thor: The Dark World, Thor: Ragnarok, WandaVision, The Incredible Hull, Black Widow

Bad - Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Capt Marvel, Loki

It's interesting to include the Raimi trilogy here because of the stuff with No Way Home, but if Multiverse stuff brings in more stuff your list is bound to get more cluttered.

And I still anyone giving the Incredible Hulk a score of 8 or higher.

Heck ye dude! Incredible Hulk is still a very cool movie.

And yeah lol, it's kind of in jest/a bit hopeful, but Raimi's trilogy/Webb's spidey being MCU canon seem like a strong likelihood at this point.

Shang-Chi. Wow such a beautiful, different(relative to MCU films thus far), and funny film. Even with less screen time than Wakanda, Asguard, etc worlds, I found this world honestly more fascinating and yearning to explore more.
