Yup! Totally unexpected too. Winter Solider is top tier MCU for me and then Civil War.
You know Captain America has probably the best super hero trilogy of movies, Batman with the dark knight trilogy comes in second.
I always like the build up the most in any superhero movie, once they are there in their final superhero character form, everything flattens out or even goes down in terms of interesting story/drama/character development. Usually that's where a strong villain can keep the story interesting or else I'll just be watching a nearly infallible dude in a costume go through the motions of beating up henchmen of the bad guy. Which can be rather tiresome without an interesting villain or threat.
To be honest. Cap has two trilogies. First Avenger, The Avengers and Winter Soldier is the first. The second is Ultron, Civil War and Infinity War (2-parter).
I would be fucking ecstatic if Superman existed in the real world. I wouldn't treat him like Jesus. Nothing in Snyder's world is more realistic and Helicarriers don't make MCU saturday cartoons in comparison.
Not even fucking close. It has one amazing movie, 1 great one, and a pretty good that is run of the mill.
I love Captain America. No doubt my favorit in the MCU. Just wish the movies for my avatar did right by the characterization like they did with Cap.
so like every big superhero trilogy, Spiderman, Nolan Batman
I'm gonna be the Unpopular Opinion Guy here, but I thought Captain America had two okay movies and one very good movie.
Ah don't worry, it's not unpopular, just wrong.
2 okay one mediocre.
the action in winter soldier was the best of the mcu though.
also god damn I wish they gave a Superman movie to Brad Bird or some shit. that tease at the last scene of the Justice League...good lord, they can't just shelve the character after giving me that. I really missed such an iconic moment.
I have to agree with this. I love the Dark Knight trilogy but it's hard to find a trilogy, an arc, to be the best if there's very little growth or substance to the main character.
Well, that and I'm not the biggest fan of Rises and Begins feels a bit dated in terms of formula these days.
i swear someone made that thread on the old place right before the whole site fell apart :/ i really like the idea but then again i don't know whether i have enough spare time and/or access to all of the films needed to keep up. maybe you could ask in the mcu thread if someone wants to try it again?
That's your scale though, the actual metacritic/rotten tomatoes scale probably puts them a lot closer.

I'd definitely rate the highs of the Batman trilogy (namely TDK) way higher than the Cap trilogy. But from the perspective of the characters and how I feel about both trilogies now that they've ended, I prefer Caps since Rised left a bad taste in my mouth. On rewatches, I always just watch BB and TDK and skip Rises.
Where as I feel the Cap trilogy feels like a much more wholesome arc for the character and thus better overall.
Edit: Not Returns, Rises. Lol

Maybe you should watch Returns again so you remember that it's Rises.

Well that's just ridiculous.
Thor 1 is clearly better than Thor 2: The Dark World.
Everything else is fine.
I'm not a fan of the first Capatin America film. Really did nothing for me and consider it one of the weakest MCU films.
Winter Soldier on the other hand is by far one of the best MCU movies to date.
On topic, Thor Ragnarok is currently at 738.1 million USD at the box office. Can't see Justice getting half that amount.

yeah, Cap America has the best trilogy bar none.
Also, it's the best comic book character rendition in movie history, and it's not even a contest. Chris Evans' Steve Rogers is a dude I look up to and aspire to be, seriously.
I even got one of the Cap's ending stills in The Winter Soldier tattooed in my arm as a way to never forget to fight for what's right. Cap wasn't even in my radar as a good comic book hero before the movies, but the MCU Cap is one of my favorite characters ever.

Trilogy rankings? Sure, why not. Quoting this because it's literally every comic book trilogy I've seen and contains girth.
Nolan's trilogy and Cap get top marks from me. Bats has two great movies in his trilogy, but Cap doesn't have a movie as mediocre as TDKR. Evens out.

TDKR is much better than Cap 1 around same quality as civil war. Cap has nothing on BB and TDK
I wonder how strong it's legs would be
Probably better than Bvs wouldn't be surprised
Civil War has a good villain even if his plan is a bit convoluted and relies a bit too much on coincidences/chance to work. He might not be a great representation of comicbook Zemo but he was nevertheless a good part of the story Civil War the movie told. A humane enemy with relatable motives to be against all the Avengers who doesn't take the superheroes head on but pushes their buttons to cause them to fight among each other and even turn part of the world against them in a way. Also provided Black Panther with a worthwhile conclusion to his story arc in CW.
Here's my tattoo, btw. Sorry not sorry for taking the picture at my company's bathroom :p
I think that we can even have a debate of whether the Cap trilogy or Nolan's Batman trilogy is better is a massive compliment to the Russo's and the job they did.
Personally I love both but would rank Cap just above. And that is purely because TDKR was such a big disappointment.
Looking at both side by side I would rank them....
TFA vs BB = BB just
TWS vs TDK = tie
CW vs TDKR = CW by a long way.

If you think me liking Winter Soldier and The First Avenger more than The Dark Knight Rises was the most objectionable part of my post, you clearly missed that I gave TDKR the same rating as all three Thor movies.
I gotta say, I'm not a fan of Joss Whedon's interpretation of Cap in the Avengers films compared to how Markus and McFeely nailed him in the solo Cap films.
