The 15 Best Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies (So Far)

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is on a precipice. Will it continue the innovation of its first three phases, or will the Multiverse Saga continue to rest on Marvel Studios’ laurels? There have been some truly innovative films over the years, like Black Panther (a.k.a. “Hollywood’s worst nightmare“), and hopefully, Marvel will soon return to form. Let’s take a look at how the movies rank now.

Presented with only this bit of commentary: Joss Whedon films were removed; not because they are bad, but because his creep factor seeps through the screen. The rest is the simple truth, my friends.

I once had an all-day fight with friends from work about these rankings—it seems that there is no highly scientific metric by which to measure bestness, and everyone has, you know, their own taste and opinions. 

I guess we should listen to each other and maybe debate these films’ individual merits but also maybe just fight me because I will go down with this helicarrier.

What’s that? You want to fight me? Good, let’s do this. What’s your list?
