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.

And Black Panther. It is out on DVD tomorrow. 

Absolutely yes on Black Panther. That was an obvious omission on my part.

Its out on DVD and was still #7 this weekend at the box office...crazy.

I've only seen Infinity War once so far, and I'm pretty sure it will get higher up the more times I watch it. I'd probably rank them like this at the moment:

1. Thor: Ragnarok
2. Iron Man
3. Captain America: Civil War
4. Captain America: Winter Soldier
5. Doctor Strange
6. Avengers: Infinity War
7. Black Panther
8. Guardians of the Galaxy
9. The Avengers
10. Iron Man 3

11. Ant-Man
12. Captain America: The First Avenger
13. Spider-Man: Homecoming
14. Avengers: Age of Ultron
15. Thor
16. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
17. The Incredible Hulk

18. Thor: The Dark World
19. Iron Man 2

11-17 are pretty much interchangeable at any time; they are basically all joint 11th. Only IM2 and Thor: DW are adrift at the bottom, and I've still watched them a couple of times.

Saw Deadpool 2 yesterday.  Does the guy played by Josh Brolin become the bad guy in this Avengers movie or is that just strange casting that he plays two separate characters in two separate movies?

Two separate characters that are unrelated

James Gunn fired over offensive tweets

Well that sucks, but he must have known that someone would dig that stuff up eventually. Even if they were jokes (pretty sick ones), there’s no way Disney could keep him on board.

I wonder what they’ll do with GOTG 3 now. It was all pretty much his vision, and he had a hand in Infinity War as well. I reckon they should go with Taika Waititi; he did a great job with Ragnarok. Edgar Wright would be interesting, but I doubt he’d go back.
