Unlock the Ultimate MCU Power Ranking: Which Marvel Movie Truly Packs a Knockout Punch?
Memories are fickle, people change, opinions change, and things take on new contexts. Rewatching movies with the privilege of hindsight can often be rewarding, and this is especially the case when watching through the MCU’s three existing phases.
Through the years, Kevin Feige and the MCU team have done a really great job of building out what almost feels like a house brand or formula; they know what makes a good movie, and what fans of the genre and the characters tend to like. Which makes it difficult, really, to rank one of these movies ahead of another. And that’s why for this particular exercise the movies are ranked in tiers. Essentially, that means that among each given tier, the movies are more or less interchangeable. Obviously, a decision had to be made among those tiers to put one movie in front of another, and those decisions are what they are. But the films among the tiers are so close they feel like they can be basically swapped in and out to your liking.
So, uh, that’s enough wind up for now. The movies below are ranked from worst to best, and as a bonus each movie will have a descriptor of just how much MCU knowledge you need to really appreciate everything that’s going on. And one more thing? Most of these movies aren’t bad. OK, maybe Thor: The Dark World is bad. But even the ones on the lower end of the list are fun, have some great moments, and serve to develop characters who usually wind up paying off in the long run.
OK. Phew. Here we go:
The ‘Honestly, Not Great’ Tier
37. Thor: The Dark World (2013)
