Okay, here's my full list:

17. The Incredible Hulk (outdated, forgettable, and a bit too dark) 16. Thor: The Dark World (bland and slow) 15. Iron Man 2 (too much time spent on setup) 14. Avengers: Age of Ultron (also too much setup) 13. Iron Man 3 (terrible villain, even if there were no plot twist) 12. Thor (not as engaging as intended, but okay) 11. Captain America: The First Avenger (pacing problems but still fun) 10. Doctor Strange (also pacing problems, but they're more subtle) 9. Ant-Man (pretty enjoyable and wacky) 8. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (appreciate the character work and drama) 7. Thor: Ragnarok (I just explained it) 6. Captain America: Civil War (fittingly dark but a few plot errors) 5. Spider-Man: Homecoming (everything I want out of my favorite superhero) 4. Guardians of the Galaxy (a genuine game-changer with tons of fun) 3. Captain America: The Winter Soldier (as Dark Knight as the MCU can get) 2. Iron Man (simply a well-made movie) 1. The Avengers (one of the most important films of this century, period)

Thing is, I wouldn't call any of these movies bad, and I judge Marvel movies as movies, not Marvel movies. At worst they're just "meh". That's a real testament to their quality.

Also, more on Ragnarok: If you're afraid it's too much like Guardians, you don't have to worry. The only pop culture song that is played is Immigrant Song from the first trailer, and they don't go to any other planets; we don't even see all of Sakaar, just the Grandmaster's city. If anything, this film has more of a Deadpool vibe to it, albeit without all the sex jokes and a much higher budget.
