Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

"Say Heimdall, where are Lady Sif and uh those three guys she hangs out with"
"Lady Sif was exiled and the Warriors Three were brutally slaughtered trying to stop Hela"
"What a tragedy! Exile! Well as new cyclopean king I'll see about that"
"Should I arrange a memorial service for Hogun, Fandrell, Vollstag, and the others killed by Hela?"
"Who?"
Forever liveblogging the AvengersOdin death feel pretty insincere to me because of Is questionable treatment towards Is sons. From banishing Thor to not properly dealing with Loki, in the end he got away with everything and Is sons ended facing the Fallout for that.
And the movie does have the same mistake of AOU, where serious moments get undermind by joke.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"So, I made a spreadsheet for our MCU rewatch group to rank all the movies. We all scored Music, Humor, Action, Story, Villain, Hero, and Ensemble Cast on a 1-10 scale. The spreadsheet then automatically calculated our individual overall scores, and average scores for each category.
Unsurprisingly, Black Panther won overall (9.6), with Winter Soldier in second(9.4) and Civil War in third (9.3). Killmonger won best villain(10) and Ego was second (9.8). Cap and Spidey tied for best hero(10), with T’Challa a VERY close second(9.8). I’m happy to answer any spreadsheet questions, I can’t link it because it’s got my real name from my google drive.

Yeah, it is more about the right timing...ie Got G Vol 2 has a lot of funny moments in the finale battle, but they don't detract. They also have some jokes during the funeral scenes, but they are created in a way that they allow you a laugh while you still crying instead of taking you out of the moment, because they are still in the moment. It is hard to explain.
So...which one got the most points for score?
I think she's referring to the soundtrack itself. The score's score. Which is fun to say.
Part of the issue is that comedy's highly subjective, and what is too much for some people is going to be just enough for others. Ragnarok's comedy didn't really bother me, but I've also only seen the movie once.
Action was Winter Soldier (10), Civil War (9.75), and tie between Avengers, Got G Vol. 2, and Ragnarok (9).
Story was Black Panther (9.6), Homecoming (9.375), and tie between Got G Vol. 2 and Cap: The First Avenger (9).
Villain was Killmonger (10), Ego (9.8), Vulture and Winter Soldier ensemble tie (9.25).
Hero was Cap in all 3 movies tied with Peter Parker (10), T’Challa (9.8), Ragnarok and Got G Vol. 2 tie (9).
Ensemble Cast was Black Panther and Winter Soldier tie (10), Civil War (9.75), Got G Vol. 2 (9.3).
Winter Soldier placed sixth for music at 8.75.

While the Warriors Three should have done more in Ragnarok and Thor should have mourned them, it's hard for me to care because they were never utilized well. Not that the movie shouldn't have rectified that, but I didn't really expect anything from them anymore. Thor's friendship with them was so underdeveloped in the previous movies that it wasn't a particularly jarring flaw to me.
