    Much like with Pearl Jam albums these rankings are subject to change and almost certainly will. Infinity War is likely to climb on repeat viewings. Guardians 1 and Ragnarok are essentially tied. The Top 11 are my favorites, the next 6 are OK, and the only two I really don't like (The Dark World, Iron Man 3) are bringing up the rear.


    1. Captain America: Civil War

    2. Avengers

    3. Captain America: The Winter Soldier

    4. Avengers: Infinity War

    5. Guardians of the Galaxy

     

    6. Thor: Ragnarok

    7. Captain America: The First Avenger

    8. Black Panther

    9. Iron Man

    10. Spiderman: Homecoming

    11. Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2


    12. Thor

    13. Avengers: Age of Ultron

    14. Ant-Man

    15. The Incredible Hulk

    16. Doctor Strange

    17. Iron Man 2


    18. Iron Man 3

    19. Thor: The Dark World

    OK Spoiler alert!!!

    So I was wondering where the hell Silver Surfer was because in the comics he played a big part in it, it was actually the surfer who fell through Dr Stranges house and not the Hulk in the comic.  I read that SS is owned by Fox studios.  Now with the merger that went through with Disney and Fox, I am wondering if he makes an appearance in Infinity pt 2?

    How great would that be?

    I was also thinking how the Scarlet witch had to watch the Vision die twice...  That's messed up.

    I think once the Disney/Fox merger is complete we'll get a post credit scene somewhere that reveals Galactus. I think they will save the Silver Surfer for that story.

    Infinity War 2 had already been filmed prior to the Fox deal being announced.  It should be going into post production soon. I don't think we will get the Fantastic Four, Surfer, and their universe until phase four at some point.  With the deal not being finalized until next year sometime, I don't think they can legally even mention them yet. And if the Kree/Skrull war is what will be the next overarching theme, it would be a good way to introduce them.  It will be a lot easier to get them in than it will be the X-Men universe.

    I just read up on that... Damn it.  No Surfer...

    $258 million! I thought it would be years before anything topped The Force Awakens opening weekend.

    Somewhere Jeremy Renner is mumbling to himself, "Hawkeye could've pushed it over $260."

    A cool (but pretty dark) way to bring Hawkeye back into it would be if his his family were affected by Thanos’ finger snap. He’s gone into hiding to protect them, if they’re not around then he’ll be out for vengeance.

    1. Thor: Ragnarok
    2. Iron Man
    3. Captain America: Winter Soldier
    4. Black Panther
    5. Guardians of the Galaxy
    6. Captain America: Civil War

    15. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
    16. Iron Man 2
    17. Thor: The Dark World
    18. Ant-Man
    19. The Incredible Hulk

    That's an interesting take on it. I may have a go at ranking them, although there may be a few ties!
    I'm pretty sure it'll be between IM2 and Thor:TDW for last place though
    i haven't watched the bottom 4 in forever.  And i only saw Ant-Man recently (it was on tv sometime last year).  I should at least re-watch Iron man 2 and Thor: Dark World again i guess.

    Re-watching Iron Man 2 is not advisable.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    Agreed. I can see a scenario where Ant-Man and the Wasp ends with that cast feeling the snap, and then the postcredit scene shows Hawkeye and his family.

    Yeah, the stinger has to be IW related. Hopefully we don't see Scott's daughter disappear, that will be heavy.

    So I am going back and re-reading Infinity War and though I've liked what Marvel has done it is by far different.

    I want to know if they are going to introduce any of the "cosmic beings" from the comics like Kronos, The Watcher, Celestials, Galactus or Chaos?

    It would be awesome to see some of these characters

    Anybody?.

    We've seen The Watcher in Guardians 2, but only briefly. Knowhere is actually the head of a dead Celestial flying through space. Galactus is tied up with Fox, so if/when the merger goes through then we might see him. My running theory is that we'll get a glimpse of him in an upcoming postcredit scene and then they will build to his movie, just like they did with Thanos.

    I didn't see Guardians 2 but that the Watcher IS in it gives me some hope!!!

    The Head in Knowhere is Living Tribunal?

    I havent read through this thread because I didn't want any spoilers, so my apologies if it has been discussed before.
    I lost interest in the whole comic book movie thing several years ago and have not seen much of it.
    I saw CA-Winter soldier and Civil War this weekend and really liked it.  Makes me want to get caught up on this.
    Are there any that I have to see before seeing Infinity War?
    Or are there any not worth seeing at all? (I think I've only seen Iron Man 1-3, the first Thor and first Guardians). There has to be some duds in this universe, right?
    Thanks!

    I'd recommend the original Avengers, Guardians 2 and Thor Ragnarok. Those along with what you've already seen will get you pretty well caught up.
