Which Marvel Movie franchise has been your favourite?

[CyclopsWasRight]

There's been a lot of Marvel movies, it's been a hell of a cool ride for us fans to get as many as we have with more to come over the next few years.

Overall which Marvel Movie franchise has been your favourite?

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Iron Man. Guardians of the Galaxy has the potential to overtake it, but I'm not prepared to make that call after just one film.

 

[R_Hythlodeus]

as far as I can see it, the MCU is a mega franchise, so my vote goes for that

 

[HaplessHenchman]

I would have to go with Iron Man.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

Did I miss any franchises? Put all I could think of

 

[Rike]

X-Men (minus TLS).

 

[hoy-small-fry]

X-Men definitely

 

[Sian]

Never thought I'd say this but Captain America. It had more heart and soul than a lot of so called 'mainstream' movies, plus two terrific strong female leads, and an immensely likeable protagonist. GoTG and Avengers are only one movie in so far, and although I loved X1 and 2 I wasn't keen on the others, apart from First Class.

 

[flickchick85]

Well, it's only had one installment released thus far, but I voted Avengers, simply because it's my favorite Marvel movie. If I were choosing a franchise that had more than one film to its name, I'd go with Captain America.

 

[Tg11]

Definitely Guardians of the Galaxy by far

 

[TalismanRing]

Captain America. I love both films. They're very different and yet both have heart and do a fantastic job with Steve Rogers - my favorite character. His supporting casts are also wonderful.

Second would be Iron Man (my second favorite character) and while I think Iron Man 2 is poor I love Iron Man 1 & yes III.

Avengers is fantastic but I need more than one movie to consider it a favorite franchise - maybe after AOU comes out.

I really like Spider-man 1 and love #2 but the rest of the series has been underwhelming to say the least.

 

[marvelrobbins]

X-Men since it has 5 films out of 7 I like.No other marvel franchise has it's track record of that many.

 

[First Avenger]

1 MCU
2 X-Men

3 Spider-Man




4 Fantastic Four

 

[See Cap Run]

I voted for The Avengers but the poll options aren't actually accurate seeing as the MCU is actually its own super franchise as others before me have pointed out: it's even listed as the 2nd highest grossing franchise worldwide on Wikipedia.

 

[First Avenger]

Agreed,you can't have IM3,TDW and TWS if you don't have Avengers.

 

[Flint Marko]

The MCU is one big franchise.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

This isn't a thread asking which is your favourite mega-franchise but which is your favourite individual marvel ranchise. MCU isn't applicable as it's a collection of several franchises all connected.

Though it's be interesting to see who'd fall where in a battle of the mega franchises. Star Wars, MCU, Tarantino-Verse, Tolkien, Predalien, DCAU. All share continuity across their various movies, some over several mediums.

Would POTA count as a mega-franchise? I believe the movies, TV show and cartoon shared continuity but am not sure

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

I think this thread is premature to be honest. A lot of these only have one film. That's hardly a franchise.

 

[R_Hythlodeus]

This isn't a thread asking which is your favourite mega-franchise but which is your favourite individual franchise.

MCU is therefore included

I was going to limit it to Marvel franchises with more than two movies thus signifying a franchise rather than a one-off but I'd have had to discount Avengers and Guardians and I figured people would complain about them not being included.

One if the hallmarks of a franchise is a consistency of characters. All Alien movies had Ripley and Alien, all Harry Potters had Harry Potter, all LOTR had Frodo and the fellowship ect.
But the Iron Man movies don't have Thor and Guardians don't have a Captain America and so one so therefore they are each individual franchise but because they share continuity they become a mega-franchise, a collection of franchises.

Like LOTR and The Hobbit movies are a mega-franchise consisting of two individual franchises

Fair enough.

 

[Quasimod0]

1. Avengers
2. Cap
3. IronMan
4. Spider-Man
5. Thor
6. X-Men

 

[Doctor Octopus]

X-Men movies. It would have been Spider-Man but the Marc Webb movies are so bad.

If this were indeed the standard then why is the MCU included on every list of highest grossing franchises of all time?

Hey there. X-Men, no doubt. I was never too familiar with them before the movies, but they have IMO the best balance between a serious tone, good action, a great story and fun. And they have been the most consistent to me. Other than X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which is not even considered in the same category in this poll, I haven't seen an actual bad X-Men movie.

Spider-man would be second, with Spider-man 3 and The Amazing Spider-man 2 as the negative points. And then Iron Man, which lost steam really quickly after the first movie. Cheers.
