Movie Tier-List

S tier: the best of the club

- Captain America 1st avenger

< amazing loved everything about it

- Iron Man

< I love seeing a rich man humbled and thrown around to do good, rip cave inventer man I loved you and cried like a baby

- Iron Man 3

< Tony gets cucked and again I love watching Tony get thrown around he's a pathetic Lil guy and I love him. Plus he momentarily father's a child around Christmas, and gives him hella gifts. Ptsd, as someone with diagnosed cpstd, is bad, poor dude I'm sorry, and I feel like it was good representation. PLUS PEPPER IS A CERTIFIED BADASS and there's robot on robot on robot fighting action. It's frankly a masterpiece.

- a funny thing happened on the way to thors hammer

>It was Phil being Phil I love Phil and I'd have his babies

- Captain America winter soldier

<will have own separate rant)

- Guardians of the galaxy vol 2

<Yondu's death always makes me cry like a fucking baby.

A tier: a good superhero movie

- The Avengers

< they somehow messed up black widows and captain America's character a little bit, but I'll excuse it cause 1) loki was there 2) Tony stark got run through the wringer and I genuinely love seeing him thrown around like a ragdoll. It's adorable and amusing. 3) it was genuinely so good and Hulk was recast and now bearable. But as my gf says 'They're all white I guess'

- The consultant

<Tony was sent in to purposefully fumbled a deal

- Iron Man 2

< realy good brother was going through the wringer in comes War Machine! Woo!

- Guardians of the Galaxy

<was alright I forgot how bi coded starlord is which is funny because Chris Pratt is kinda walking garbage. Also it was very sweet and heroic of Srarlord to save Gamora.

- Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D S1

<will have own separate rant

- Daredevil S1

<will have own separate rant

B tier : mediocre but still willing to watch again

- All Hail the King

< Actor pretending to be a terrorist leader gets jailbreaked, kidnapped, and brought to actual terrorist leader. It was interesting and funny in a ironic kinda way.

- Avengers: Age of Ultron

< not as good as Winter soldier or the last Avengers movie. Tony and Bruce? creates an AI Ultron who is his daddy's son to be fair. Weird Bruce/Natasha thing that apparently ended just as abruptly as it began. Natasha's writing was wack and there was plausible reference to her being a monster for not being able to have children which is crazy... Wanda and Pietro (rip) are introduced properly, adored their dynamic. Unfortunately everyone was super weird to this 16 year old kids who were hella experimented on and traumatized their whole life. Vision is also introduced and I love him and his pure curiosity to the world around him and his quippy personality.

C tier: mediocre but good-ish wouldn't watch again tho

- Thor

<not a fan of cosmic plot lines, and had somewhat l boring side plots.

- Thor: A Dark World

<not a fan of cosmic plot lines but hey there's loki and brotherly bonding over being mama boys occurs and it's kinda sweet and humanized loki. I was bitter after Coulson's death and I hated the crazy Scientist that ran nakedness through stonehedge for being alive. Also the side plot of this movie was awful and horrendously boring imo.

D tier: fuck you in particular (fails as a movie big time)

- Captain Marvel

< own separate post is up, my beloathed, captain marvel

- Item 47

<boring plus main character in it is a nazi.

F tier: would have rather been at work

- The incredible hulk (nothing incredible about it, made me the incredible sulk)

<was like watching wet peices of cardboard interact.

hi! my name is benny. i'm a new marvel fan looking to make some friends who are fans of rarepairs and individual characters as much as the popular ships!!

i'm a fan of both the movies and the comics, though truthfully, deep down, i think i prefer the comics, despite having only read a single deadpool run 😭 but i've read some other stuff here and there, and i wanna read more soon! i have been having a lot of fun on my first MCU watchthrough as well though! it would be awesome to have some more people to talk about it with :)

some of my favorite characters so far are spider-man, deadpool, iron man, and black widow, but there really hasn't been a protagonist i've disliked so far! honestly i really hope to get good at writing fic n stuff for a wide swath of characters, i've been liking most of them !! i'm also a gigantic multishipper, so don't feel scared about liking any ships around me :3

my favorite movie so far is probably tied between captain america: winter soldier, and iron man 2 ^-^ if you wanna be mutuals feel free to follow and i'll follow back :3

[shepardstales]

FUCK ME I JUST REALISED SOMETHING

I gotta start my mcu watchthrough from Captain America first. I modelled my oc Sebastian Kennedy from Raising Hell after Sebastian Stan

I'm gonna have to watch my boi get tortured.

Help. XD @lordkingsmith

Non Spoiler Review of LOKI, Season 02 Episode 01 (but it's less screaming from me, this time):

One of the things I said, after watching episode 01, was, "That had no right to be as funny as it was!" Another thing I said was, "I wouldn't mind watching that again (concurrent with just finishing the episode)."

In terms of the former, I was really engaged by the pacing of the show, and there was a laugh every few moments without taking away from the drama, or anything else. I was enthralled, entertained, enthused, ensorcelled, engaged, and entirely there for it.

In terms of the latter, this episode was just SO GOOD that I know I would have seriously and honestly enjoyed the episode just as much, watching it a second time right away, after only just finishing a watchthrough.

Normally, as a Very ADHD Person, I need some kind of secondary stimulus when I'm watching things, in order to stay present and engaged - no such need with Loki s02ep01! It had me, gripping me tight until the very end. I would have sat through the credits, happily, but I was watching with others, and they preferred not to linger (there's an end credit scene, fyi, and the co-watchers wanted to see it immediately).

Part of my ensorcellment is definitely that Loki is probably my absolute favourite MCU character besides maybe Pietro, and no we don't talk about that. Loki has been my ""favourite Avenger"" since 2012.

But dear god (of mischief), the humour was so spot on for me. So funny. I'd give examples, but I promised a spoiler free review, and I'm not one to break my promises, if it can be helped.

Excellent performances by Tom Hiddleston, Owen Wilson, Ke Huy Quan, Eugene Cordero, and Wunmi Mosaku. Especially Ke Huy Quan! I adored him and his performance and his character! His character is going to be a new fan favourite, for sure! If not, I'll eat my favourite pair of shoes.

Thank you for listening. No, I will not apologize for the rainbow lettering, everywhere.

I can't be left alone so I was brought to an Apple Showcase event and I thought that I would continue to watch Yu-Gi-Oh! Through Hulu BUT it wouldn't let my Mom log in to Hulu AND instead I'm logged in to Disney+

I don't know about you but I get overwhelmed by all the options that I end up not watching anything which must be the most autistic or ADHD thind that ever happens to me.

It usually ends in me not watching any show/movie.

I don't like starting a series at random because "what if I commit to the bit" and make it a routine to watch the show throughout the upcoming days. (Which is what Yu-Gi-Oh! 5d's and Vrains have become. My one hour and a half TV stream schedule).

At the same time I watch shows that have been promoted a lot through mutual or following posting it. From Disney+ I can't think of a movie or show I want to watch (although I did watch Wish when it landed on Disney+)

From Disney Plus I mainly had that MCU watchthrough experience (that I am not doing again or continuing past Eternals). I was also watching Star Wars but.... even as a kid I could not commit to the bit and slept when Revenge of the Sith was in theaters.

Like I wish to be able to talk about the series I have watched but I rarely remember the details and don't want to be in conversations with fans where they talk about their favorite parts and the most I can come up with is "I don't remember that".

In the end I don't interact with fandoms of the MCU and Star Wars outside of the MCU chronological order timelist a person made with the last movie at the time being Eternals.

Update on my journey through the MCU

Finished The Incredible Hulk on Friday night and The Avengers today, making good progress!

Thoughts on The Incredible Hulk: Before I watched it, I was really dreading the movie because Hulk wasn’t exactly my favorite Avenger and a whole movie about him wasn’t something I was expecting to like, but I was pleasantly surprised! I loved the story line as well as Bruce’s character! It was also a nice surprise to find out that the original ripped boy, the Hulk himself, is actually a skinny little science nerd (well until Ruffalo took over, he’s a bit more built)

Thoughts on The Avengers: First I feel like it was just yesterday that the whole world was screaming about how good the Avengers was and how it was the best movie ever made and now I find out that it came out in 2012 AND SHIT I FEEL OLD. IT’S BEEN SEVEN YEARS?! For the film itself, I liked how they introduced each character separately and then they brought them all together (except Thor but it’s FINE) and THE BANTER was so well written! I lived for all the humor especially the little quips and jabs. Poor Steve being five steps behind because he’s been asleep 70 years, everyone making Hulk jabs, and Tony being... well TONY. Honestly it was really well done and I’m excited to continue my watch.

marvel cinematic universe: captain america: the first avenger (2011)

The serum amplifies everything that is inside, so good becomes great; bad becomes worse. This is why you were chosen. Because the strong man who has known power all his life, may lose respect for that power, but a weak man knows the value of strength, and knows compassion... Whatever happens tomorrow, you must promise me one thing. That you will stay who you are, not a perfect soldier, but a good man.

[oimoi-op]

Back when I was doing my Netflix Avengers watchthru, I started the Punisher series. I don't really remember what my expectations were going into it, but I remember that it had been some time since the second season had been released and all the Em Cee Yoo fans were hyping it up, so I thought I'd go ahead and try it. I hadn't really liked Daredevil s2 and even now I see it as the weakest season by a huge margin, but the Punsiher arc was a lot stronger than the Elektra/Hand/"how do we adapt a racist Yellow Peril storyline from the 80s into the show—oh we're keeping it racist? oh okay then" second half, and I am of the opinion that Jon Bernthal does a phenomenal job in everything he's in, so I gave it a shot.

I got through the first two episodes lmao

I don't know, I was just...bored I guess? I finally started watching it again yesterday, still boring. The pilot isn't bad per se, but it doesn't really do anything to advance what I know about Frank. Donny's a one-note whose actor does a serviceable job, but he's not a main cast member, and everyone else is just fodder for Frank sans Curtis, Dinah, and (presumably) that one skinny vet from group therapy who's obviously being set up as some shooter type. Onto the second episode, we're finally properly introduced to Micro and Russo and then the plot actually starts, but God I am simply bored out of my mind lmao. How many times am I going to watch Frank's wife die?? I can't help but compare it to Daredevil's pilot which did a great job with setting everything for the rest of the season up. With Punisher, you could skip straight to "Two Dead Men" and not really miss anything imo. At least Karen's here lmao

Hopefully it starts to get better around ep3.

[crazyzombiecat]

Logic brain says my plan was to watch Civil War tonight, lizard brain says watch Age of Ultron again.

[booksrbest]

Roommate did now enjoy watching Thor Ragnarok with me. Apparently I’ve see it so many times, I laugh 0.5 seconds before the punchline.

Finally got my roommate to watch Iron Man with me (my hope is to eventually watch through the whole MCU with her). She loved it and is now reading through the RDJ wiki... how do I nicely explain she’s not going to tell me anything I don’t already know?

MCU Watchthrough- Captain Marvel

So if you're a huge fan of the MCU movie Captain Marvel, I wouldn't read this rant/review it's not for you as Captain Marvel was not for me. Also tagging @kittypryde2013

I get what it was trying to do/be. It's supposed to be oh girls can be heroes too! Woo feminism! Marvel loves it's female audience! But it falls flat compared to all the other movies I watched prior and watched after it, excluding the incredible hulk, you couldn't pay me enough to watch the incredible hulk again.

From CGI to design, from plot to fight scenes, it just falls short and ends up feeling like a mere cash grab and poorly done pandering to an audience.

Starting with CGI for something made in 2019 it feels like it was made in the early 2000's, specifically spy kids quality CGI. And I know budgets are rough and some marvel movies have spotty CGI scenes but when the main battle in a marvel movie is all bad CGI explosions and t-posing ugly designed space suits with hair mohawks, it's clear that this was a cash grab intended for marvels female fan base, and in a sense, shows how unwelcoming comics and superhero media is towards its female fanbase as media that has a primarily male fanbase. Which I've heard extensively about, (*cough cough* looking at you malice) and as a man who drinks his 'respect women juice', that pisses me off.

Also the battles were so disappointing...the final one especially, since t-posed flying through space screaming woo as everything around her blows up was not done in any type of interesting or what I would consider to be up to par for a marvel final battle.

There was one good fight scene and it was when she beats the shit out of the Skrull who captured her with her hands bound in cement in the beginning of the movie.

Additionally, I feel like using the main 'girls can be superheroes too' superhero to set up an amnesia plot was an interesting choice and not necessarily a good one. When you give a character an amnesia plotline, you essentially turn them into a blank slate. Which isn't exactly the best choice for the 'girls superhero' because, to me, it kinda comes off as girls are naiive and need to be told who they are, which icks me out. They essentially turned her into a piece of cardboard for the others to interact with for over half of her own movie. Then, as she gets her memories back, it feels rushed and was done in a way that made it hard to really care about. For the rest of the movie, her character gets very little personality and sense of self upgrades before two more disappointing fight scenes, and then it was roll credits.

All in all it was 20% entertaining and 100% failed at what I believe it was trying to do.

finally reached tfatws on our mcu watchthrough which is fun

[duckielover151]

Thor: The Dark World (Rewatch)

This is another one that's technically a rewatch... but only technically, because I remembered almost literally nothing about it. (Really only the fact that so much of it takes place in Asgard, and Jane got to go there this time.) Which felt a little weird, as I was going into it, because The Dark World was the first Marvel movie I saw in theaters, after catching up on all the previous ones. You'd think that would have left more of an impact, right?

After seeing it again, though, I'm honestly not surprised it didn't leave a lasting impression on me. It had its highlights. It was beautiful, visually. Gotta love that whole Asgardian aesthetic. I liked that Jane played such a role in taking down Malekith. She wasn't just afflicted by the Aether and then saved by Thor. The banter between Loki and Thor as they escaped Asgard was probably the first time they genuinely felt like brothers to me. And Frigga seemed like she was actually a really cool character. I do wish we'd gotten to see more of her... (Marvel seems to be adhering to that anime rule where if you see a funeral, it's pretty safe to trust that the character is dead for real. Anyone else is fair game to be brought back somehow.)

But I have to say... this whole movie feels a little muted, emotionally. None of those big dramatic scenes hit quite the way I wanted them to. Frigga's death, to continue on that point, was kind of artistic... I did really like the way the dialogue cut out after she was stabbed-- and then continued all through the Viking funeral you know everyone secretly wanted to see at some point. (Even if it meant we had to sacrifice someone.) But there was not nearly enough grieving. Thor and Odin's facial expressions didn't even really seem to be into it. No one tried to rush to save her. I did not see a single tear from anyone. She was just stabbed once and then everyone accepted it was over. It felt perfunctory. Which is not how you should approach something like a character death.

I feel like there should be something to be said about Loki. But it was a lot of just Loki being Loki. Scheming. Deceiving people. That shot of him in his cell after his mother's death was good, though. The one instance where I felt I did see real grief from someone. And I am truly blind to whatever he's plotting next, so that will be interesting.

This one was okay. Definitely not a favorite, and I don't see myself revisiting it.

[shepardstales]

If you want to avoid my MCU complete watchthrough for the first time, I'm gonna be using the tag "ash shepard watches marvel"

Part 2 of my latest #rightstufanimehaul!

I got to spend most of the weekend with my cousin. It was so much fun. We played a lot of Sims. And continued my MCU watchthrough. And had a friends/family Mario Party session! 🎉

Weekends like this are so refreshing. Like hitting a reset button on life. Although I did run myself down planning a sim wedding for my cousin's sims! 😆 So many guests!

I hope your weekend was refreshing, inspiring, or productive. Whatever you needed most. ❤️

This might sound silly but one day I communicated with some of my guides. I asked them "What character are you drawn to by appearance alone?" This question was limited to superheroes and the disney princesses.

My answer to the superheroes was Captain America and to the Disney Princesses it was Rapunzel from Disney's Tangled. When thinking about it it is silly that I decided to do a Marvel Cinematic Experience watchthrough going by the timeline recommended movies to watch first (all the way up until Eternals). I don't plan to watch more movies in the Marvel Cinematic Experience because it is just too much to continue with the movies that come out.

I remember telling my guides that I don't know why I was drawn to Captain America. I do like how his weapon of choice is a shield or that as he is depicted, that he adopts the name America and wears the flag in front of the people. In a way I view it as arrogant to wear the flag of your country and a statement that you represent the country as there are many countries on Earth. When watching the recommended timeline movie Captain America was first. I remember speaking to some of my guides and friends critiquing the film after the watchthrough. One particular comment that I remember is about the Captain's love interest being in the military in the time of World War as she looks to be out of place in both the time at the military and behavior. I know that some men like strong women but I remember one guide commenting that it would have been better believable if she had been a Nurse/Infirmary than in the Military.

Now I'm not saying that they are wrong about this because these are very good observations when watching the film. I remember I mentioned how hero films are "marketed to boys" and would argue with some of my guides about it since I presumed that their gender was mostly male. I would watch the MCU but I couldn't exactly watch it the same way as I barely watched Doctor Strange without blocking the screen sometimes.

For Disney's Tangled I even made it to watching the series. I did like how with this one it was my guide's Viorel princess that aer gravitated to by experience alone. Now for Rapunzel I remember mentioning how in Disney's tangled her artistic ability as she was shown to have drawn or if it was the Sun mythology with the SunDrop that later became a flower. It's even more endearing when you hear Eugene nickname her Sundrop in the series.

One thing one of my guides commented was how when Rapunzel asked Mother Gothel that for her birthday she wanted some paint and Mother Gothel mentioned that it would be 3 days time. Why would Mother Gothel worry about 3 days? I remember doing a character analysis of Mother Gothel as she has been "alive" for a really long time, probably more than 100 years as she was shown to be old in the beginning of the film. Mother Gothel "knows" how to talk to people by then as she even convinces the brothers about getting revenge on Eugene and convinces them to help her get Rapunzel back. As she says "Mother knows best".

What I don't understand is how Mother Gothel also had another biological child: Cassandra. It doesn't just imply that she had sex at some point, just how long had Mother Gothel been "alive" with the Sun's flower? Yes this is why she kept Rapunzel in the tower and makes sure that she stays in the Tower. When I asked for my guides favorite scene aer mentions it's when Rapunzel takes a "leap of faith" out of the tower and says "Here I go."

I remember making a point about blondes as I was drawn to them not just through Rapunzel but singers like Taylor Swift and Natasha Bedingfield. I even asked one of my guides if he was drawn to Rapunzel as he also had blonde hair and green eyes and I remember that they felt insulted. Captain America was also a blonde. I don't feel like dyeing my hair blonde because all those chemicals just to change hair color... I don't want it.

Anyway I asked about fictional characters. It's silly to think about it but I have learned that there is no such thing as wrong.
