Unlock the Ultimate MCU Power Ranking: Which Marvel Movie Truly Packs a Knockout Punch?
This probably feels a little low for some, but I can explain myself. When this movie first came out, it was absolutely fucking mind-blowing. I was all-in on the MCU from the moment I realized what they were doing, and I spent the year between Captain America: The First Avenger and The Avengers eagerly awaiting any and everything about the movie. And when it came out, my expectations were met! It was a blast, and all the pieces fit together perfectly.
Upon rewatch—having now seen all the movies that have come after The Avengers—it isn’t quite mind-blowing anymore, and will have to settle for simply being really good. It takes a long time for the pieces to get set-up into place, and for the conflicts to be set-up. But the importance of realizing that a movie like this can be pulled off to this massive scale cannot be understated. And can we talk about just how good everyone in this movie is? From the obvious of Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans and Samuel L. Jackson to Clark Gregg to Tom Hiddleston’s incredible villain performance. This movie is great, and the last 40 minutes or so are an absolute classic. It falls here because, well, there are just so many other good movies in the MCU.
MCU understanding needed? This was the first colossal team-up for the MCU, and a lot of the viewers in the theater probably didn’t see any of the previous films. You don’t need to watch anything beforehand, but Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, and Captain America: The First Avenger would help you learn who these characters are.
