User blog:Solmonster, the Daily Phantom/Ranking of the MCU films from my least favourite to favourite

I see these all over the web, so i figured I'd do my own. I just want to warn you that my opinion differs from those of most. So without further notice, let's get started!

Further notice: I hope this community is civil and mature enough so that i can state my opinion without people killing me verbally. Sure, you can say why you disagree with me, but no attacks.

18) Let's start with my least favourite: Spider-Man Homecoming. While this film is very popular and i must admit, it was quite cool at times, I still think that it didn't grasp my mind so much, and i found that the most interesting character in the film was Vulture, not Spidey. Another thing that annoyed me is that while it had funny moments, those got old really soon after they dropped a joke at every moment. And in general, i found it the most mundane of the MCU, and my 3rd least favourite Spider-Man film.

Best Part: Spider-Man trying to hold together a ship while fighting the Vulture and his gang. That, i can't deny, was REALLY awesome.

Worst Part: All of the drama going on before Spidey hunts down Vulture in the final moments.

17) Following Homecoming is Iron Man 2. While Iron Man was mediocre for me, i found the sequel to be relatively bland. Yes, it teased the avengers and that was cool, but generally it was Iron Man trying to blast business rivals and going a bit nuts. Justin Hammer was a little ray of sunshine in the film, but Whiplash was, while relatable, seemed like a pretty mindless villain (not stupid, just not interesting).

Best Part: Iron Man and War Machine blowing HAMMER drones up.

Worst Part: The first fight scene.

16) It pains me to put this one so low, but while the star of the Incredible Hulk is one of my favourite super heroes, it just wasn't interesting enough. Yes, i love seeing Hulk smash things (i admit it, especially people), the movie's storyline was relatively mundane and got a bit nonsensical at times. Another problem is the villains: Emil Blonsky was quite an interesting and powerful character, but the abomination was pretty much an evil version of the Hulk which didn't retain a lot of Blonsky's coolness. Sam Sterns didn't get nearly enough screentime, and this may be personal bias, but General Ross No thank you! What also bugged me is that close to all of the characters in the film just disappeared, although i can't blame that on the film.

Best Part: The final battle- awesome.

Worst Part: Most of the parts where Bruce is not Hulk.

15) Next is what i consider the most underrated film of the MCU: Thor: The Dark World. And while i do dislike it, I just can't throw mindless hate at it. The problem is, mainly, is also what i like the best about it: Loki. He overshadowed the entire rest of the characters because hey, it's Tom Hiddleston! But seriously, if it didn't say "Thor" in the title, i would have forgotten Thor was in it (not really). I never quite approved of Thor's romance with Jane, and this one really proved my point. On the upside, while many say Malekith is absolutely terrible, i found him relatively mediocre.

Best Part: Everything with Loki.

Worst Part: When Loki faked his death, therefore stopping the moments which i loved so much.

14) Then comes the very first film: Iron Man. While the film was okay, i guess, i think it suffered too much from reusing superhero tropes instead of making Tony Stark, well, Tony Stark. I think this is the film i have the least to say about. And Obadiah Stane? Meh.

Best Part: Seeing Tony test the Iron Man armour.

Worst Part: The first few parts.

13) Next is Captain America: The First Avenger. Honestly, i don't have much to say about this one, except that it finally got the love story right and that it had the first truly terrifying villain. However, it still can't stand military drama and the first few scenes really made me cringe. However, it got better along the run of the film, and i'm happy that they used the personality of the Earth-616 Cap and not of that A$$h*&# from Earth-1610.

Best Part: "I can do this all day" both parts. They really show how Steve is the right guy for the role of Captain America.

Worst Part: The military scenes.

12) And after that is (dun-dun-dun!) Thor. Really, i don't have much to say about his one either, other than that it was a good introduction to the prince of thunder and that it could have done a bit better in several zones, such as Laufey. However, i think this spawned Marvel's first villain which i found kept his awesomeness forever: Loki. It's undoubtable, though, that Thor is the hero here and it shows a really good story about him.

Best Part: The final battle was just great.

Worst Part: I got really bored with the part in the SHIELD camp.

11) Iron Man 3 was a very confusing movie for me, but it was also extremely fun. Unlike many, i liked what they did to the Mandarin (although i despise Killian). But the best part of this film is undoubtedly Tony Stark- he's funny, he's charismatic, he has inner problems, but he takes all of it very well, and that's emphasized by Robert Downey Junior. Other than that, the film had its good and bad parts, so yeah.

Best Part: Tony's time on the road was pretty awesome.

Worst Part: "I AM THE MANDARIN!" and then he gets thrown into oblivion.

10) Captain America: Winter Soldier is quite a darn popular film, and i can see why. I loved seeing Cap, Widow, and Falcon battle Hydra, and it was also the most thought-provoking movie so far. Alexander Pierce was a pretty damn good villain, and so was Brock Rumlow, but both of them were pale in comparison to the shady, menacing Winter Soldier. So yeah, with a few hiccups, it was pretty cool.

Best Part: "Who the hell is Bucky?"

Worst Part: I felt that at this point, Arnim Zola was meaningless.

9) I have to say that Ant-Man was the marvel film i was least hyped about. I was never too big on the guy, but my stance changed DRASTICALLY when i saw it. Not only was it hilarious, it was crazy and wacky in many ways. Hank and Hope are so far my favourite non-super supporting characters (although both of them are super heroes at a time). No, Scott had a great backstory with great relationships and cool action. Pretty much the only thing that bothered me was Darren Cross, although the Yellowjacket suit was pretty cool.

Best Part: Tiny fighting- on toys!

Worst Part: Hank visits and finds out his old protégé is trying to take over his company.

8) Honestly, i have mixed feelings on the Avengers. On one hand, it was really, really cool, with a lot of fighting and a lot of subtlety. On the other hand, it didn't have the thinking factor that many future films had. The great thing about this film is the fighting: the first few scenes didn't mean much, but the last scene was just so cool, no one can deny that. Also, it had its fair share of humour, and i think that it was on the right track. The only big disappointment was Loki- not because i found him lame in the movie, but just that i loved him so much in Thor, he just seemed pale here. Oh, and Thanos is scary.

Best Part: The last battle- there has been no better super hero fight scene ever.

Worst Part: When Loki appears in front of the crowd with that ridiculous horned helmet. It just looks so plastic.

7) I love classic fantasy, and i love science fiction. What I've always loved about Stephen Strange is that he combines the two. Therefore, Doctor Strange is on 7. While it suffered from weak villains, the heroes really made it worth watching. It was so abstract in compare to the other films, and i love that above all, just how they used a different style of film for this one, a somewhat strange style (dreadful pun intended).

Best Part: I just love how in the spirit world, everything starts twisting around and doing weird stuff.

Worst Part: Dormammu is a JOKE. I mean come on!

6) When many people saw the ads for this movie, they thought What? but not me, for i have loved the Guardians of the Galaxy ever since i got a really broken and torn issue #7 of Abnett and Lanning's Guardians of the Galaxy. Since then, I've been collecting the comics, and i loved the movie equally. It was the funniest film so far, and my heart soared and was in tears... when Rocket and Groot first arrived. While they have always been two of my favourite heroes, Gamora, Star-Lord, and Drax were also pretty good and pretty funny. And while Ronan isn't exactly the best villain, he is quite darn good at what he does.

Best Part: The moment the words "We are Groot" were uttered, i started crying/

Worst Part: Drax calls Ronan and gets his butt kicked.

5) I have to tell you, it's rare when i like something from the movies more than from the comics, but here it wasn't difficult. I HATED both Civil War comics, and Captain America: Civil War was really good in comparison to them, but i don't only like it because of that. Oh, no. It had a lot of emotion in it, with bonds being broken, the f*&#ing government trying to take advantage of the incident, and introducing two new superheroes. I think that so far, Helmut Zemo is the best villain to be produced by marvel, because not only does he succeed 100% in his plot, he also has good motivations and no powers whatsoever, not even control over a criminal organization. So, yeah- awesome!

Best Part: The final fight between Cap and Iron Man.

Worst Part: Ross' briefing on all the damage the avengers have caused. How about this: If they hadn't won in New York, earth would be taken over by aliens. If they hadn't won in Washington DC, Hydra would have killed a lot of people for no apparent reason. If they hadn't won in Sovokia, all of mankind would have been destroyed!

4) Guardians of the Galaxy was pretty funny, but it was NOTHING compare to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. Not only did it have one of the best villains ever (Ego), it also was incredibly funny, and unlike the jokes in Homecoming, i got most of them and of those i got i found most of them to actually be funny (HAIL TASERFACE!!!). The plot was also much better than that of the first one. Other than that, i found that the scene with Peter and Yondu in space was really emotional, and it's good to see Rocket hasn't abandoned his old ways completely. and Baby Groot? (:

Best Part: I just loved the part with Rocket trying to stop Groot from pressing the button.

Worst Part: Ayesha and the sovereign got really annoying eventually.

3) So far, Thor has never been as good as he was in Thor: Ragnarok. While many thought he would be overshadowed by Hulk or Loki, he stood before them instead, with the new female lead, Valkyrie (Who is 100% better than Jane and even Sif). It was quite funny, too, and while the Grandmaster is the obvious choice, Hela also had her moments, and i loved "Thor, Son of Odin" "Surtur, Son of... a B!#&h!". Besides that, Loki and Hulk also had their moments, and the scenes in Sakaar were pretty great. And Hela? One of the best villains, ever. Better than Loki, better than Ultron, better than Red Skull, better than Ego, better than Vulture, but not as good as Zemo. Sorry!

Best Part: Surtur causing Ragnarok was just cool, and somewhat terrifying, too.

Worst Part: In the streets of Sakaar...

2) Avengers: Age of Ultron is by far the most controversial marvel film. In most rankings, i can figure out where all the other films are generally gong to be, but Age of Ultron is always really low or really high. I choose really high, because not only do i find it introduced three new awesome avengers, it also had a great plot, and it had Ultron, who is to this day my third favourite MCU villain (It's James Spader! What did you expect?). While some characters didn't get such a great arc (Thor, Cap), Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Hulk got a very good storyline. Finally, it just had this awesome bizarre sci-fi thing which i always loved about the avengers, and so far i think it's the most thought-provoking and eerie MCU film, fitted with good humour, too.

Best Part: Ultron appears for the first time and scares the Sh*& out of me.

Worst Part: Did Black Widow and Hulk NEED to have a romance?

1) There were two new heroes introduced in Civil War. One of them spawned my least favourite MCU movie, and the other spawned my favourite. Yes, Wakanda Forever it is. Black Panther is my favourite. I have always found that Black Panther was the coolest of the "classic" avengers, and i just loved the fact that he was a king of a whole high-tech nation. The thing is: every character is awesome. Okoye? awesome. Shuri? awesome (as a big brother, i can really relate to T'challa, just that my little sister is a bit louder). M'Baku? Awesome! Everett Ross? Not so awesome. But besides that, the side villains of the previous films were pretty forgettable, but Ulysses Klaue was pretty cool (I mean, it's Andy Serkis). And so far, Killmonger has proven himself to be one of the better villains out there, and is to this day my 4th favourite (I mean, it's Michael B. Jordan!), after Ultron, Hela, and Zemo. It's also a very interesting film, and if find it the least mundane of all of them, with a lot of awesome lines "Every breath you take is mercy from me" (okay, that one wasn't originally from the movie, but i loved that line and i'm happy they used it) "You can go, but just don't tell anyone." (Lol), and "We are vegetarians." (i am, too). Oh, yes and "WHATARETHOSE!" I had to research that one before finding out what it meant.

Best Part: Everything, except for...

Worst Part:... Everett Ross.

So, that's it!
