Ranking the films of Marvel Studios

[Quicksilver]

here is my list...I know its probably not in line with most MCU fans, I like some movies most fans dont really like (age of ultron, thor dark world) and dont really like some movies most fans liked (iron man, black panther, captain marvel)

I do think captain america winter soldier is a better constructed movie than infinity war, but infinity war takes #1 on my list just because of how ambitious it is, like reading a big mega crossover comic event, I couldnt believe what I was seeing on screen


1) Avengers: Infinity War
2) Captain America: The Winter Soldier
3) The Avengers
4) Captain America: Civil War
5) Thor: Ragnarok
6) Avengers: Age of Ultron
7) Doctor Strange
8) Captain America: The First Avenger
9) Thor
10) Thor: The Dark World
11) Guardians of the Galaxy
12) Ant-man & Wasp
13) Ant-man
14) Spider-Man: Homecoming
15) Guardians of the Galaxy 2
16) Iron Man
17) Black Panther
18) The Incredible Hulk
19) Captain Marvel
20) Iron Man 2
21) Iron Man 3

I'm not sure there is consensus with a massive audience and 21 movies. I know people that hate the Guardians movies and love the Iron Man sequels. It is fine, bound to happen with diverse group watching these.

That's why I ranked Avengers: Infinity War #1 as well. And the first Avengers movie #2. Seeing all the characters/actors from the individual films on screen together for the first time was real magic for me.

Marvel has spoiled our expectations. It was only ten years ago when the idea of having two heroes in a movie would have been staggering. Now we have a movie with dozens across various film series. I'm not sure this will be replicated by anyone else in the near future (twenty years).

The sad thing is (for DC anyways) is even Dark World and The Incredible Hulk are better then most DC movies..

DC seems to be on the right path with Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Shazam. I also think Man of Steel is underrated.

I actually really like Thor 2 and Incredible Hulk. Both top 10 for me. Endgame is in bottom half for me. Couldn’t stand the new Hulk and Thor characters. Cringe...I still think the phase 1 films are tops, liked the more serious tone.

Man of Steel was my favorite out of all the recent DC movies... the rest of the movies have ranged from horrible to meh....

Wonder Woman was overrated IMO, the story was rather weak and the villain was just plain sad... Aquaman was better but the story was pretty basic and boring...

Compared to Marvel, DC is still way behind when it comes to good story telling...
