Iron Man is the best for sure, followed by Black Panther. Captain Marvel is at the bottom of the solo films.
 
Iron Man and Black Panther are my favourites.
 
Dr Strange then Black Panther or Cap.

I still need to watch Shang Chi though.
 
Joy ranking

  1. Cap: The First Avenger (even if it is lesser than the three directly after it in quality, it's not by much)
  2. Black Panther
  3. Iron Man
  4. Ant-Man
  5. The Incredible Hulk (I still don't get the negative criticism when I watch it, definitely underrated, and I think it earns this spot as a quality piece)
  6. Captain Marvel
  7. Thor (direction and score are the best things about it. It's still a good enjoyable movie though)
  8. Doctor Strange
  9. Spider-Man: Homecoming

Did not watch:
Black Widow
 
OK so no one voted Howard the Duck!? Really?!

Top 3 is locked in (3 of my 5 favorite MCU overall, and I know most don't agree with2 and particularly 3 but I will die on that hill):

1-Iron Man
2-Capt America:The First Avenger
3-Thor

The middle 4 is a jumble depending on my mood - I liked all of them but had problems with each - but this probably the order: Spiderman Homecoming, AntMan, Dr Strange, Black Panther, (these two I go back and forth as ti which I prefer more), Shang-Chi and the Legand of the Ten Rings

The bottom 3 are locked in as well. (These are the 3 MCU films (in addition to the Loki series) I would skip if I do another MCU marathon:
8-The Incredible Hulk (not that bad but too forgetable)
9-Black Widow (Nat deserved so much better than an absurd story and ridiculous, over-the-top action sequences)
10-Captain Marvel (except for maybe Talos, almost everything about this movie is wrong)

Hmm I realize my ranking is different than my general MCU list because when I rank specifically based on 1st solo film, I tend to not only look at quality but I also weigh which ones stand best without the crutch of a cinematic universe.

1. Shang Chi
2. Guardians of the Galaxy
3. Iron Man
3. Black Panther
4. Captain America First Avenger
5. Thor
6. Ant Man
7. Homecoming
8. Black Widow
9. Incredible Hulk
10. Captain Marvel
11. Dr Strange
12. Eternals
 
After Endgame I feel there is not need for me to jump on the MCU bandwagon anymore, but I will watch an odd movie here and there if it's something I wanted for long or a character I like enough to watch more of:

  1. Shang Chi (possibly my new favorite MCU movie, toppling Thor Ragnarok)
  2. Captain America: The First Avenger
  3. Black Panther
  4. Iron Man
  5. Ant-Man
  6. The Incredible Hulk
  7. Captain Marvel (this and Hulk are very underrated)
  8. Spider-Man: Homecoming
  9. Doctor Strange
  10. Thor (Like Strange, not something I enjoy in a marathon)
Not counting team movies, so not GotG.
