Ladies and gentlemen this year marks the first year since the late 2000's where there hasn't been a new film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This is a list that I really haven't thought about that much and so I can't really say how well this post will turn out and just for some ground rules i'm only counting the films that i've seen quite alot of just because i'm a forgetful person and so it wouldn't make sense for me to include films that i've forgotten about and the films have to have been released so no upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe films will be counted for obvious reasons and so anyways enjoy the post everyone.
10) Captain Marvel
If anything this film should have been a home run for Marvel since they were not long gone of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame was there next film to be released. However what we ended up with was something that was more bothered with shoving politics down our throats then giving us a hero that we can care about which for your first solo is something that should have been a top priority and it doesn't help that the writing for not only the character of Carol Danvers but the film as a whole was really bad with the film telling us to care about Carol and telling us that she has emotions instead of giving us a reason to care about her and showing us her emotions.
9) Ani-Man
For me personally this film didn't live up to it's potential because it had all the potential to be one of the greatest Marvel Cinematic Universe films but for some reason it just couldn't live up to it. Which might be why the film just wasn't that good for me personally and hell for years this was my first Marvel Cinematic Universe film but over time I have slowly warmed to the film but it's taken years for that me to even start to warm up to the film and so who knows in five years time this might crack my own personal top 10 Marvel Cinematic Universe films.
8) Iron Man 3
This film tired to fix something that wasn't broken the formular for the Marvel Cinematic Universe worked and yet this film tried to be darker. Which for the character of Tony Stark and everything that he went throw in the first The Avengers / Avengers Assemble makes alot of sense but it doesn't make sense for every character to act and behave how Tony is acting and behaving I give the makers of the film credit for trying something new but that something new has to also make alot of sense which sadly isn't the case here.
7) Thor
Now just like with Ant-Man I'm slowly warming up to this film and hell out of all of the great Phase One films this is one of the better ones. However with that said this film could have been alot better like they could have developed the romance between Thor and Jane alot better as well as better establish the friendship between Erik Selvig (Stellan Skarsgård) and Thor but as it is the film can't go any higher then number 7 om this list.
6) Avengers: Age Of Ultron
Don't worry guys and girls we get into the much better films after this one because the reason why this film is as low down as it is. Is because it suffers from having a director having to much control over the film and because of that there are alot of things that while they would go onto have bigger roles in future Marvel Cinematic Universe here they don't add up to anything which is a shame because two of characters introduced in this film will be starring in a Disney+ called Wandavision which starts streaming this January.
5) Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2
So far the only sequel to Guardians Of The Galaxy this film did a good job of advancing the characters as well their relationship with not only each other but also the supporting cast from the previous film. What also works well in my opinion are the films more emotional moments and those work because we've had a whole film up until this point to get to know these characters and to care about them and so when something heartbreaking happens to these characters we really do feel it.
4) The Avengers / Avengers Assemble
This film did the impossible for comic book movies because it proved that not only can an entire cinematic universe work but it all proved that a team up / crossover movie can also work. What makes this film work is the characters because it's so much fun seeing these characters with conflicting personalities work of each other so well and the same is also true for Avengers: Age of Ultron and it goes to show that writer and director Joss Weadon really knows these characters inside and out or in my opinion it does anyways.
3) Avengers: Infinity War
This film had so many characters from previous films in it literally all of the heroes from the previous films are in this film and Avengers: Endgame. As such no one would have blamed this film if it crumbled under it's own pressure but not only did it not crumble under all of that pressure but it thrived because of all the characters that are in this film we get to see alot of fun and new combinations and team ups which help make the film 3ven more enjoyable then it already is in my opinion.
2) Guardians Of The Galaxy
The closest film that I can compare this film to is Star Wars: A New Hope because like that film this film was a huge risk for Marvel Studios and Disney. Since no one part from a small select group of die hard comic book fans knew about Guardians Of The Galaxy and so giving them a film didn't really make sense but it's film that works and it works due to how well written the film is and how well written the characters are and it helps that the film doesn't take itself to seriously either with there being plenty of laugh out loud moments all of which make the film more fun in my opinion.
1) Avengers: Endgame
Take everything I just said about Guardians Of The Galaxy and apply it to this film because while all of the characters were really well known at this point. It was still a fantastic film and hell even before this film came out my all time favourite Marvel Cinematic Universe film was Guardians Of The Galaxy but this film just blew me away with how good it is and how shocking and heartbreaking and uplifting the film is as well.
All of the mages and I do mean all of the images that I used in this post were gathered from the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page. Since i only used one website to get all of these images I have no choice but to recommend tat you use the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page due to the fact that all of the images on that website are really high definition which for me at least when i'm making a post is a very important thing.
