Damn only Spider-Man broke $1 billion after Endgame (disappointed that Winter Soldier isn't higher) which is probably less for Disney as they have to share that with Sony.
That's still a lot of money they made over budget.
Charts like this allow for number crunching enjoyment.
The original Captain America First Avenger is my favorite single film out of the whole MCU, and I think Cap's movies in general are the most consistent in quality. Iron Man and Thor have their ups and downs, not to mention the C-list guys.
Iron Man 1 is the only great one. 2 is good, 3 is shit.
I liked the 1st Thor, but the others were all garbage- man, haven't seen Dark World since it 1st came out but it must seem amazing now compared to the Waikiki shit.
Cap has to be the winner with 1st, Winter & Civil War, although that almost doesn't seem fair as it was basically Avengers 2.5.
Guardians has to take 2nd, 3 solid movies.
Yes.
Say what you will about the rest of the MCU, but Captain America: The Winter Soldier is an unironically great movie.
I still admire Marvel for the risks they took and the success they achieved, and created some of the most fun and enjoyable popcorn flicks of all time. All the criticism nowadays is fully justified, but people forget that Marvel took huge risks making films with B-list rejects that only nerds cared about, funded it themselves, achieved mainstream success, and built a film empire that made all the other studios seethe with envy.
Re: people like Martin Scorsese, if the MCU is just mass-market corporatized junk, why did every single attempt to copy it fail? Kevin Feige had the simple idea of mining 60 years of comic books for the best storylines and turning them into films, and it worked great. Now they are failing due to switching to woke crap from the entryists that have been sabotaging the comics since the early 2000s (Miles Morales was the canary in that coal mine). Doesn't change that characters like Iron Man and Thor or projects like the Avengers were considered risky bets and doomed to fail, but succeeded brilliantly.
