  S: Avengers: Infinity War. Honestly, great film. Probably the finest film of the MCU. Thanos is one of the best villains, raising serious points although perhaps genocide on half of the universe wouldn't be the best idea. I even enjoy the side quest with Rocket and Thor although Eitri creeps me out. Thor's entrance is fucking epic and gets me pumped and gives me goosebumps every time I see it. However, my favorite moment in this comes when Thanos gets a moon on Titan and breaks it up and sends it at Iron Man. There is little reaction and a bewildered look on Tony's face and that says it all, he's just a man and he has a fucking moon hurtling towards him. Its one of the greatest cliffhangers off all time and is a defining comic book film, and one of the best in the MCU.  Thor: Ragnarok. I'm a Taika Waititi fan boy. A movie with Taika's comedy and weirdness with Marvel's multi million pound pursestrings, has all the makings of a sure-fire hit. However, you c...

  S: Guardians of the Galaxy. Another great and funny film in the MCU. By far the weirdest film of the MCU so far and this movie only demonstrated that Marvel could make anything with any property and it would make a billion. All of the Guardians are great and Michael Rooker is really great in this. I think this film so far in the universe is the best combination and versions of the characters. Rocket isn't too much of a jackass and Drax is funny whilst having some seriousness and not just comic relief. The only negatives are that Ronan is a pretty underwhelming villain and quite tedious and I have no care for Xandar and not bothered with the imminent destruction. Otherwise wholly enjoyable.  Captain America: The Winter Solider. One of the biggest improvements in sequel. A perfect change to the new and more interesting Captain America. Cap and Black Widow are a match made in heaven and this is more of a comic book movie. It is a spy thriller trapped inside comic book character...

I am doing a tier list for the MCU films. As a nerd growing up and being teased for it, there is nothing better then the biggest films of all time being based on a comic books that I have read as a kid. Obviously there are fucking hundreds and thousands of these films so I have split them up in to different parts. The natural order is Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3.  A: Avengers. This was one of the main films that really had to be good. A team up of a shared universe was something that had not really been done before. Obviously every knows about the third act and the big laser firing into the sky but this film is genuinely funny. Loki's plan in the film is dumb but works as a villain and there are some iconic moments in this. The 360 of the Avengers is great and Banner turning into Hulk and punching the Chitauri whale. The only negative of the main characters is how dirty they did Hawkeye in the film and that is a trend that continues. It is bordering on S but due to the fact of the qu...
