Sorry if it came off as me making your opinion look invalid. I was trying to say that you putting it in your Top 5 naturally made me even more excited, and then used Age of Ultron to show I still have some convincing to do.

Well for me, there are legit reasons as to why it's inferior. Just my opinion, but I mostly felt the film was unbalanced tonally and is the biggest example of the MCU pulling a Sony and trying to juggle more than it could (even though Civil War proved they could juggle even more). On a more minor level, Ultron was trying too hard to be menacing to the point where he came off as edgy ("Upon this rock I will build my church" - I mean, I know Whedon's an atheist but no need to be so on-the-nose), and the color grading was a bit off, something that carried over into Ant-Man. Avengers may be my favorite movie, but I don't hate this movie because it wasn't better than the first (let alone hate it at all). That said, if Infinity War doesn't beat out every single other movie in the franchise on my list, I'm going to be kinda sad.
