Agreed. Markus and McFeely have a much better feel for Cap than Whedon. Thor in the first Avengers film is total bore. In the first Thor, he's an arrogant meathead, but at least he's interesting. We see this aspect of the character again in Ragnarok.
Here are mine...
- Guardians Vol. 2
- Guardians Vol. 1
- Black Panther
- Winter Soldier
- Thor: Ragnarök
Almost done with my rewatch, just need Ant-Man and the Wasp left. It's crazy how much better the Phase Three films have been. Perlmutter really was holding Marvel back huh.
My current top five:
Homecoming
Ragnarok
Black Panther
Infinity War
Civil War

I feel like I'm going to be sitting in the theater waiting for this to start and all I'm going to be doing is talking to the guy next to me about Game of Thrones lmao
Rewatched most of the movies recently made me realise one thing. I hate captain America,but I really like Steve Rogers. For long time I couldn't put my finger on it why I love winter soldier despite not really liking the first avenger and not really liking him in avengers. Hard to put in words for me
Around 10 or so of my friends and I have been watching the MCU movies once a week in order ever since early December of last year, and yesterday we had a big marvel/easter potluck together to watch Infinity War and go through all our crazy Endgame theories. It's been so fun!
After hours of deliberation over the past 5 months, here is our final group ranking heading into Endgame:
1 Captain America: The Winter Soldier
2 Avengers: Infinity War
3 Black Panther
4 Captain America: Civil War
5 Spider-Man: Homecoming
6 Thor: Ragnarok
7 The Avengers
8 Captain Marvel
9 Ant-Man and the Wasp
10 Iron Man
11 Avengers: Age of Ultron
12 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
13 Guardians of the Galaxy
14 Captain America: The First Avenger
15 Iron Man 2
16 Ant-Man
17 Iron Man 3
18 Doctor Strange
19 Thor
20 Thor: The Dark World
21 The Incredible Hulk

I don't know about ranking them all individually but grouping them into tiers it would be something like this
- Infinity War, Ragnarok, Winter Soldier, GOTG
- Iron Man, Avengers, First Avenger, Ant-Man
- Civil War, Black Panther, Homecoming
- Thor, Captain Marvel, Dr Strange, GOTG2
- Age of Ultron, Iron Man 2, Dark World, Incredible Hulk
- Iron Man 3, Ant-Man and the Wasp
Oh yeah, I misused that term. I definitely think Iron-Man 2 is a good movie, fun and enjoyable. I love all of the Shield stuff world-building, Black Widow, The two villains; I like Whiplash's motivation, and how much fun Sam Rockwell has with his character as well. Scenery and location are good too, and the whole Stark Expo and Tony hammering it up. Loved the tag team of Iron Man and War Machine. Third act battle was great. And the character arc Tony goes through. Love the opening at court and the Nascar race. Only thing I'm a bit down on is Tony coming up with a whole new element to fix himself.
I also love Thor 1. And Cap 1.
The answer is obvious. You like Russos take on Steve Roger which is more complex and nuanced than boy scout Captain America. I am in the same boat as you. I also liked Steve Rogers in Civil War and the few glimpses in IW but I am super hyped for Cap in Endgame.
And no surprise, all 3 Russos bros MCU movies are within my top 5 (maybe Civil War misses out but its still pretty close) and quite a few people in here. That only feeds into my hype for Endgame.
Top 5 films....
1. Winter Soldier
2. Guardians of the Galaxy 2
3. Avengers
That's been steady for a while. Next two can change depending on how I'm feeling.
Right now I would probably go with
4. Captain America
5. Thor
1. Winter Soldier
2. Guardians of the Galaxy 2
3. Avengers

MCU Rewatch Day 19: Ant-Man And The Wasp
Decided I'm going to save Infinity War for Wednesday.
I liked this movie a little more on a rewatch, but I still don't think it's great. I haven't seen it since it opened in theaters, and I remember being kind of bored by it, and also just wanting the movie to end so I could see the inevitable Infinity War link after-credits scene.
Like the first film, the character's are a lot of fun. The characters from Ant-Man 1 anyways. I just didn't care for the villain in this one, or Lawrence Fishburne. The story just fell flat in this once. There were some nice actions scenes, and the comedy worked, but I still found myself pretty bored overall.
Side Note: For a 50/50 chance, Scott got REALLY screwed by the snap. All the Pyms, and his wife and daughter.

Guardians Vol. 2 down
such a great movie. a couple of the bits are legit funnier on repeat viewing because of the way they build or are seeded earlier in the movie (the point and laugh bit building to mantis touching drax sharing his humor and the sovereign cracking up when tazer face calls, respectively). love the Sovereign. great character work. some mehs in there, the goopy stuff filling the streets looks so trash, the pac man is over the top, the throwing the ball is like a sledgehammer to the nose, but other than that it is just such a strong movie. every character gets time, every character grows, every character gets some time to just decompress by themselves or in a pair, and the ending is perfect. just great stuff all around.

I don't have the time to rewatch every film but what ones would you guys recommend (just a few), just to refresh my memory before seeing Endgame?
I'd say Captain America: The Winter Soldier & Captain America: Civil War, Black Panther, Thor Ragnarok, Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and Infinity War — in that order. Maybe Doctor Strange if you have some extra time. Captain Marvel might be important as well but you'd have to go to the theater for that one.
Is anyone else seeing Endgame alone? It's my first movie seeing alone since Avengers 2012, it's somewhat a fitting ending to the franchise for me but on the other hand I kinda hoped to see it with somebody else.
Based on what the Russos have said, Civil War, Thor Ragnarok and Infinity War are the ones that people should be looking out for, especially Civil War and Infinity War. You can expect that they will be carrying over the themes from their own movies into this one.
If you can watch more than 2-3, then I would strongly suggest watching Avengers 1 and Avengers Age of Ultron plus one of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies (first one because it has the introduction of the characters plus Power stone).
Iron man, the first avenger, avengers, winter soldier, guardians, ultron, civil war, ragnarok, infinity war.
It'd be
1. Winter Soldier
2. Iron Man
3. Guardians of the Galaxy
4. Doctor Strange
5. Avengers 2012
There's a decent chance I'll be seeing it alone after work if I can't find anyone to go with me ahead of time or on short notice.
Any tips on how to get through Doctor Strange without losing interest less than half way through?
Watched Antman 2 the other day for the first time and I found it really enjoyable.
Watched Infinity War yesterday so now I'm all set for Endgame tomorrow night. I'm so bloody excited.
I'd never spoil the movie for anyone but will there be an impressions thread?

Seeing it at midnight with someone but I'll go again on the Thursday or Friday on my own.
Top five :
1. Infinity War
2. Guardians of the Galaxy 1 (and 2 tbh they're both as good)
3. Black Panther
4. Thor: Ragnarok
5. Spider-Man Homecoming
I honestly don't like the MCU pre-phase 3 when it was all gritty, serious and pitch dark. Thankfully they discovered that colours exist with Civil War.
Captain America 1 was fine though. Ant-man too.

What is it that you didn't like in the movie or founding it to be less interesting?
Thanks guys. I'll try to watch most of these before I see Endgame on the weekend. I just got back from seeing Captain Marvel, the very last showing at my local cinema lol.

This is fairly close to my rankings. Swap BP and iron Man and put Ragnarok on top. Probably bump Iron Man 2 up a bit too
I'm not doing the whole list, but top 5:
1. Thor Ragnarok
2. Avengers: Infinity War
3. Captain America: Winter Soldier
4. Avengers
5. Guardians of the Galaxy
Ragnarok and Infinity War are pretty much tied for the number 1 spot, but Ragnarok very slightly edges out IW because it's so much funnier. (Not to say IW isn't funny, but Ragnarok is amazingly funny to me.)
Also I didn't care for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and I thought Iron Man 2 was actually pretty OK. Don't @ me.

- Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Do you mean literal colours? Because Civil War really isn't a colourful movie.
Because it has by far some of the best character work of the series and is overall just a really good movie that also introduces Spider-Man and Black Panther. All the characters are handled better together than in any previous Avengers movie, easily. It's Iron Man's best movie since IM1. This was the movie that sold me on the MCU.
