Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 Nerd.
Ever since Iron man came out in 2008, marvel studios has been popping out some of the best
movies of the superhero genre.
So we are going to take a look at the best of the best today, basing our list on a recent
poll taken by IGN that over 15 thousand people participated in to try and keep it as objective
as possible.
So letÕs take a look at the top 10 MCU MOVIES.
In the number 10 spot, WE HAVE Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2.
We open up the list with the colorful and lightehearted film of Guadians of the galaxy
2.
ThatÕs not to say the movie was all jokes and fluffÑit had real emotional moments that
hit hard, you know what IÕm talking aboutÑand it did a great job at making us feel for each
and every character.
It did, however, feel a little overstuffed with plot and character, but everyone knows
stuffing is the tastiest part of a turkey, so why not a movie too?
Plus, twho deosnÕt love a movie with a trash panda?
Next, at number 9, IS Spiderman: Homecoming 2017.
This was a tough one for me, because I loved Sam RaimiÕs first Spiderman and Toby mcguire
was my Spidey.
Until the third of course.
I donÕt even know who that man was.
But obviously many people concluded that Tom Holland did a great job taking over the role,
and itÕs true.
He brought a freshness and lightness that weÕve come to expect and hope for from our
friendly neighborhood.
And the highschool portrayal finally felt like highschool!
Not adults trying to squeeze themselves into the roles!
Coming in at number 8, IS BLACK PANTHER 2018.
I actually expected this one to be voted higher up, because the storyline was fresh, the acting
was on point, and the soundtrack was also quite the treat.
ItÕs also got the highest rotten tomato score of all the movies on this list, which we could
have based the list on, but decided to go for the vote of the common folk instead.
You guys voted wrong.
But anyways!
Black panther proves that the superhero genre has more to it than just punching stuff and
beating up bad guys.
ItÕs also got memes.
In the number 7 spot WE GOT iron Man 2008.
The one that started it all of course should have a special place in peopleÕs hearts.
Iron man had to establish a lot with this first movie, and it did it with a finesse
that brought the genre back to life.
And we tend to forget that iron man really wasnÕt that popular of a superhero before
he got his own movie.
The risk paid off and now every little boy in a toy shop is dragging his mom over to
the action figure shelf to buy an iron man.
And itÕs only gotten worse.
Up at number 6, IS MarvelÕs The Avengers 2012.
Sometimes throwing a bunch of heroes into one movie doesnÕt quite work.
However, The Avengers managed to pull their team together in a way that gave everyone
enough screen time and development.
It made a name for itself as the highest grossing 2012 film, which really indicates how excited
people were to see this superhero bonanza team up brought to the big screen.
And in my opinion I enjoyed the sequels exponentially, so theyÕve upped their game even more.
Coming in at number 5, WE HAVE Captain America Civil War 2016.
In throngs of good guy vs bad guy films, civil war gave us conflict between heroes.
Who is really the good guy here?
At what price do we petition for our freedom?
This movie presented real world issues that superheroes would face, and you find yourself
torn between both sides of conflict.
Would you turn your back on your closest friends for the greater good?
What really is the greater good?
Can I describe this movie entirely with questions?
Next up, at number 4, IS Thor: Ragnarok 2017.
Immediately upon its release, audiences were raving about how surprisingly funny this movie
ended up being.
Although some of ThorÕs other films may not be MarvelÕs proudest moments, they finally
got it right with this one.
Each superhero movie seems like itÕs trying to get darker and darker, and Ragnarok saw
that we needed a few laugh in the mix.
Plus, the main villain was female, and you donÕt see that too often in superhero films.
Her cheek bones alone were enough to make the list, IÕm sure.
Up next at number 3 is Guardians of the Galaxy 2014.
What came out to seem like a real strange and niche film turned out to be a huge success,
even for those who had no idea who these guys were in the first place.
The risk of introducing lesser known characters paid off, and lesser known they are no longerÑimagine
the boost in comic sales for these guys.
The combination of sassy wit and heart earned these guys their high place on this list for
sure.
Still crying over that ending.
In the number 2 spot, WE GOT Captain America: Winter Soldier 2014.
The winter soldier drops us into the very famous comic story arc of CapÕs sidekick
Bucky Barnes re-emerging as a brain washed mercenary.
This gives way to the type of emotional conflict that adds a surprisingly rich aspect to superhero
movies.
It also took the risk of turning down the cgi and choosing to feature old-school action
instead, something that also made Deadpool such a successful movie.
And finally, in the number 1 spot, WE HAVE Avengers infinity War 2018.
IÕm actually a little surprised that this movie was voted in as the top place, by a
staggering 36% of people!
It was good, but was it really the best?
A likely explanation is whatÕs called a recency effect: people are more likely to remember
the last thing they were shown, so audiences are more likely to remember the movie and
how much fun they had sitting in a big theatre crying together.
It is very obviously a well-thought out movie that had people sitting up at night talking
about it for hours.
CanÕt wait to see what we are brought in the next installation.
So those were the top 10 MCU MOVIES.
