What is your favorite MCU Phase 1 Movie?

I think all of them are solid, but Avengers is my favorite because it all the superheros coming together at the end was very iconic to me as a kid.

Avengers since the 2012 hype for Superhero Movies was cool because it also had TASM 1🕷️ and The Dark Knight Rises 🦇

2008 is a Close 2nd because Iron Man 1, Incredible Hulk, and The Dark Knight came out May-July that year

Sorry not sorry.

Moves to the top of the list for the scene of Tony blowing off Elon Musk along.

Who's strong and brave, here to save the American way?
Who vows to fight like a man for what's right, night and day?
Who will campaign door to door for America?
Carry the flag shore to shore for America?
From Hoboken to Spokane?
The Star-Spangled Man… with… a plan!!

Avengers is fantastic but I've been an Iron Man fan since shortly before the Silver Centurion armor premiered in the comics, so mid-80s ish, and Iron Man the movie was everything I wanted to see!

It's really a shame that other than Ragnarok there hasn't been a great Thor solo movie. The first one is ok. It's not awful. But I dont ever have the urge to watch it randomly. The second one is hot garbage. So bad. Fourth movie is somewhere between 1 and 2. It's ok but the humor(or attempt at) ruined what could have been a better movie.

And here I am replying to a crackhead who thinks Thor wasn't a great movie

It’s a dreadful movie but it’s better than the second one and possibly better than L&T, I’ll give you that.

See now those points I can't disagree with

Nice to meet you

I’m probably all alone in thinking Hulk and Thor were the best ones. Maybe because the scores are the best of all MCU movies - Doyle and Armstrong absolutely nailed the music, and then got thanked by never getting another Marvel chance 🤷‍♂️

I've got a terribly strong soft spot for Captain America TFA.

Avengers for sure. Overall a good first phase for the start of the MCU though

Honestly the first Iron Man and Avengers are the only worth while films on here. The rest are mediocre or forgettable.

u/stationstars 2d ago

I liked all of them and I remember a lot of things from them

u/Mcclane88 2d ago

Sorry, I was saying they’re forgettable and mediocre to me.

Star Spangled Man musical number is great though.
