Weakest MCU film?

I would put both Venom movies and Spider-Man 3 above TDW myself.

 

I'd put Venoms and Spider-Man 3 over TDW and CM. Maybe even TFA which I think falls off a cliff in its 2nd half

 

I'd put all seven Sony movies below every MCU film. Well, I haven't even bothered to watch LTBC yet, so six Sony movies.

 

The original cast for Karol Danvers was better for me. The one of Age of Ultron. More comic accurate:

 

She appeared for 3 seconds, how's that enough to determine if she was more comic accurate...unless of course you're going solely by looks alone. And she was only a placeholder. Even if they didn’t cut her out of the scene, she probably was going to get recast anyway.

 

I actually didn't know she was meant to be in that movie. Thanks!

 

Her and Spider-Man, yeah. But since the Sony deal wasn't arranged, it's doubtful that Whedon would've gotten that to happen.

That said, it would've been an interesting ending to have Spider-Man and Captain Marvel show up out of nowhere for this new Avengers team.

 

Fair enough. But yeah I do believe they are canon now. I mean... if incredible hulk (different actor, different studio) is mcu canon, and sylvie is canon, and the homecoming trilogy is already Sony, I dont see how tobey and andrew and their respective films (histories) aren't mcu canon.

Therefore ranking MCU movies reclaims them into the fold.

And good point about MOM, I truly think you may be right. What with Scarlet Witch playing such a prominent role. But idk if doing that will really be all that unique of a story after NWH.

Would be amazing to see though.

 

Idk. Who I would bring back from Fox tbh...

Jackman and Stewart claim to be out. Fassbender, Evan Peters, and McAvoy would be very cool. Ryan Reynolds obviously a possibility... but I think they'd have to recast Wolverine for sure.

So I mean... Who knows how they'd swing all that.

Chris Evans as Torch would be a head trip. Id prefer to not see anyone else from F4.

But I suppose if its just Strange and Wanda diving through universes id be open to seeing just about anything. Chiklis and Evans cameo. Ben affleck! Lol!

Canonizing all of those films makes ranking specifically MCU films pointless and drops the average significantly.

 

I watched Iron Man 2 recently as part of an MCU rewatch and it was worse than I remembered. The whole movie felt like a huge misfire specially when the first one was so great.

In hindsight Iron Man feels like lightning in a bottle, while Iron Man 2 was basically like a bunch of outtakes, questionable decisions and overall a hard one to get through. Definitely bottom tier MCU.

 

Not to mention it absolutely wastes Sam Rockwell. It has some things that I like, but generally speaking, not one I'd rewatch in its entirety.

 

It was kind of painful that even with mostly everyone back it simply didn’t work and I kind of tried to give them a pass because I liked Tony’s Stark and Pepper Potts characters and relationship from Iron Man but not even them where salvageable.

The dialogue gets so rambling at times that is just absurd and the comedic stuff is just so bad. (At a certain point TS quips about “Hammeroids”…) Also Mickey Rourke… Like wtf.

 

It's always gonna be a shame that we never got a proper Iron Man & War Machine movie.

Really I think IM2 is also the "just add humor to everything" beef I have with a lot of blockbusters nowadays. It just never really took itself seriously

 

Infinity War
