This movie brought upon the narrative that MCU movies have turned into sporting events. This was the Super Bowl of comic book movies. This movie's reactions alone are some of the most awesome fandom content ever made. It was unable to be a genuine part of the machine that has been the MCU. Add in the most popular recasting in the league, and the result is the forgotten child of the family. Still, it lays the groundwork for a core franchise member then, now, and moving forward. 27.

The Avengers Dossier: The Definitive Unauthorised Guide by Paul Cornell, Martin Day and Keith Topping (London: Virgin Books, 1998) For the entirety of The Infinity Saga, one trilogy was regarded as the best in the league. Captain America: The First Avenger is the beginning of that trilogy and the introduction of the heart of the MCU. Beaumont, Ian (11 January 2001). "The Avengers". ABC at large. Transdiffusion Broadcasting System . Retrieved 16 May 2022. The diversity of the genres within the MCU is also fantastic. The MCU has explored it all, from the mystical and the magical (Doctor Strange) to the light and comedic (Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor). The recent Falcon and the Winter Soldier even introduced some heavy real-world themes you’d never expect in a superhero outing. This wide gamut is what makes creating a “best MCU movies, ranked” list so darn hard. The production team changed during the series' long run, particularly between the third and fourth series, but the influence of Brian Clemens was felt throughout. He wrote the second episode and became the series' most prolific scriptwriter. Succeeding producers Leonard White and John Bryce, Julian Wintle became the producer of the 4th series with Brian Clemens credited as associate producer and Albert Fennell credited as "In charge of production". For series 5, made by A.B.C. Television Films (which was created during the run-up to ABC Weekend TV and Associated-Rediffusion forming Thames TV) Clemens and Fennell became co-producers, with Wintle as executive producer. For series 6, after its initial producer John Bryce left, Clemens and Fennell returned as co-producers; early episodes also credit Julian Wintle as consultant to the series and Philip Levene as story consultant.Another movie is another example of Marvel Studios overcoming the odds. When the showrunners for this movie sat down and decided what it was going to be, they did not have to make it the climactic event representing 20 years of movies and fans. But they did. But the biggest accomplishment of the MCU is to take Marvel’s obscure characters and make them household names. Guardians of the Galaxy is the perfect example of this. Introducing comic book characters that few have heard of was a bold move. However, they managed to pull it off spectacularly.

In hindsight, had everyone invested known how much a success the MCU would be, this movie would have been made in the early 2010s as a part of Phase One or Two. By all accounts, the film is up to par with other origin movies in the league. However, being the project to introduce such a powerful player so late leaves a bad taste in a super fan's mouth. In its first issue, Infinite Frontier is digging into an interesting facet of DC’s most recent reboot of the universe. Traditionally, most of DC’s reboots happen in such a way that almost nobody remembers what happened, so as to preserve at least a minimal sense of “universe next door” relatability to the setting. But this time, lots of ordinary people remember seeing evidence of the multiverse — and it’s causing a bit of familiar societal conflict. Heroes Return #1 Image: Jason Aaron, Ed McGuinness/Marvel Comics This is the movie referenced the most when talking about the MCU's ability to make a genre movie that just so happens to include superheroes. A political spy thriller featuring some of the most consistent players in the league, The Winter Soldier delivers one of the most consistent performances in the MCU. After the Infinity Saga, Marvel Studios had a new challenge to do it again. After telling the most successful cinematic universe story in movie history, Kevin Feige and company wasted no time moving to the next chapter. To embrace the trust they have built with fans and continue to push the envelope, new characters, bold stories, and unique filmmakers became a priority. Enter Eternals. Earlier Cathy Gale and Venus Smith episodes had aired in Canada before the arrival of Mrs. Peel. US audiences saw the 1962–1964 Gale and Smith episodes of the series for the first time in the early 1990s when they were broadcast on the A&E Network. No Keel episode of the series was ever repeatedly broadcast outside Britain, contributing to the fact nearly all first-series episodes are now lost, and even in the UK only one surviving episode, "The Frighteners", was rebroadcast (as part of a run of classic episodes on Channel 4 in early 1993, otherwise mostly consisting of Gale episodes).

25. Ant-Man and the Wasp

The Avengers: A Celebration: 50 Years of a Television Classic by Marcus Hearn (London: Titan Books, 2010)

The cars used in the series became almost as famous as the actors. [25] [26] From the 4th series on, Steed's signature cars were six vintage, green 1926–1928 Bentley racing or town cars, including Blower Bentleys and Bentley Speed Sixes (although, uniquely, in "The Thirteenth Hole" he drives a Vauxhall 30-98). In the final series, he drove two yellow Rolls-Royces – a 1923 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost and a 1927 Rolls-Royce New Phantom. [27] [28] Peel drove Lotus Elan convertibles (a white 1964 and a powder blue 1966), [29] [30] [31] which, like her clothes, emphasised her independence and vitality. During the first Peel series (Series 4), each episode ended with a short, humorous scene of the duo leaving the scene of their most recent adventure in some unusual vehicle. Mother occasionally appeared in a silver Rolls-Royce. Tara King drove an AC 428 and a Lotus Europa. Lady Diana Forbes Blakeney drove an MGC Roadster. The first UK Avengers comic strips, [43] featuring Steed and Cathy Gale, first appeared in regional TV listings magazines Look Westward and The Viewer from 14 September 1963 to 9 May 1964 (and later in 1964, re-printed in the Manchester Evening News). This run consisted of four serials. By The New Avengers, Steed had moved out to the country, to a manor house known as "Steed's Stud", and was no longer driving vintage cars, but contemporary Jaguars instead. What is the best Marvel movie?" is perhaps one of the most difficult questions to answer. Sure, Avengers: Endgame will always be at the top of people's minds when ranking Marvel movies, but I believe other MCU movies do an equally fantastic job if rewatched for a second time. a b Peel, John.

Charismatic, energetic, heartfelt, and sincere. Those attributes of Iron Man changed the superhero genre forever and gave Marvel Studios the secret recipe for popcorn success. The risk littered throughout the MCU takes the league to a whole new level. Iron Man is arguably the biggest of those risks that have paid off. The peaks and valleys are wide margins, but this is a Phase Two style movie set very out of place in Phase One. 23. Captain Marvel

Quite, Quite Fantastic! The Avengers for Modern Viewers by Michael Scott Phillips (Atlanta: GR|OWL Books, 2018). From the moment this movie begins, fans are constantly being encapsulated by the story being told while also being washed over with payoff at the same time. Every line of dialogue and movement by the countless heroes feels like a personal thank you to everyone who followed along. Throughout this nearly 150-minute journey, every time someone starts to wonder what is happening with a specific character, they appear on the screen.Guardians of the Galaxy is the perfect example of a big swing that could have resulted in an embarrassing strike but instead was launched into the next town over. James Gunn was given the keys to comic book characters that the most die-hard Marvel Comics fans knew next to nothing about. It ended up being the perfect combination of timing, style, and storytelling. Eternals takes big swings throughout the entirety of its long runtime and does so much to establish future stories for this corner of the universe. Eternals is the kind of project that MCU needs to keep making. The hit rate for big swings in Marvel Studios is too high for anyone to say they should stop taking them. 20. Ant-Man Eight IPs in the MCU have received a sequel. Of those eight, five have received the third film, with another on the way. Of those five MCU trilogies, no franchise has received a bigger glow-up from two to three than Thor.
