Ranking the Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies
With Avengers: Endgame about to happen and serve as a conclusion to the incredibly long story arc around the threat of Thanos, I thought I would celebrate by ranking all the Marvel movies in the MCU up til now.
My goal is to do this is two ways: I want to group them into 4 tiers: First Tier (Amazing), Second Tier (Enjoyed), Third Tier (Okay), Fourth Tier (Reluctant / Disappointed). I also want to actually just rank them within their tiers/the entire order.
It’s been a long time since I have watched some of these movies, so it might be a bit affected by memory, and at some point I should probably do a watch through of all the movies and rank them at the end of each movie, so it would be more fresh. But for now, here it is:
First Tier
- Captain Marvel
- Avengers: Infinity War
- Spider-Man: Homecoming
- Captain America: Civil War
Second Tier
- Doctor Strange
- Thor: Ragnarok
- Black Panther
- Ant-Man
- The Avengers
- Iron Man
- Thor
- Captain America: The First Avenger
- Iron Man 3
Third Tier
- Iron Man 2
- Avengers: Age of Ultron
- Captain America: The Winter Soldier
- Thor: The Dark World
Fourth Tier
- The Incredible Hulk
- Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol 1
- Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol 2
Unranked
- Ant-Man and The Wasp
- Avengers: Endgame
I have yet to watch both Ant-Man and the Wasp and Avengers: Endgame. I will update this post after I watch Ant-Man and the Wasp, as well as Avengers: Endgame… my current prediction is that Ant-Man and the Wasp will be in the Second Tier and Avengers: Endgame will be in the First Tier.
How do you rank the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies?
UPDATE: After more consideration, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 of Guardians of the Galaxy have been swapped putting Vol. 1 above Vol. 2.
