Not commenting to enter the contest, so no need to consider me for it.
I have yet to see Infinity War, so with that in mind, I think my favorite MCU movie so far is Captain America: Civil War.
The first Iron Man, the first Avengers, the first Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain America: Winter Soldier are up there, though.
The reason for giving the nod to Civil War is all of the different individual character development going on (how they all arrive at their own decisions, and how they all tie into the significance of the story and the overarching story of the MCU. There was a lot at stake here, more so than any other movie because it would be the one to divide the heroes.
I thought the showing of the Starks' car crash three different times was brilliant story telling. I thought Tony Stark's not trusting the Avengers to make decisions was more of reflection of his own personal mistrust, and bouncing between being on the opposite side of Captain America, then with him, then against him followed exactly what that character would really do.
The airport fight scene was good, especially with Spider-man and Ant Man to liven things up, and with the added consequence of Iron Patriot (War Machine) going down under friendly fire.
The team up of the Russo Brothers and the writers on both the second and third Captain America movies I hope bodes well for Infinity War.
As expected another top notch comment from the reigning Engagement King of Asher's league. Your comment is great are you sure you really don't want to be in?
In the comics I love Civil War and all the arcs and accompanying storylines .
I agree on this and was a masterful stroke in story telling for me. MCU really is on point with how they portray their stories.
I just watched it again and I'd forgotten about all of the fight scenes where it's Captain America and some of the less powered folks like Black Widow and just how intense those fight scenes are. When you get the Hulk, or Iron Man and Thor going, you're talking about massive haymakers that send opponents flying for yards if not kilometers. Somehow, when those punches are reigned in more, even though still fantastically impossible, they just seem real. And they hurt more. :)
Civil War was basically an Avengers movie from mainly Captain America's point of view. And I agree. The MCU has no competition from any genre really when it comes to building a cinematic universe with different characters with their own movies. The DCCU is way behind. However, that might end up being an advantage if they can get it rolling as Marvel is on the wane. At least, I don't think Marvel can keep up the pace forever, even backed by Disney. At some point, it all comes to an end.
I say that when there's already 19 movies, No. 20 before the summer is out, and then three more on the way next year as they move into another phase with even lesser known characters. I wonder what they'll do with the Fox controlled characters (X-men, Fantastic Four) and how soon they'll be able to bring them into the fold? It's been great having Spider-Man at least on loan. Major improvement over all of the Sony produced movies, except for maybe the first two.
