Since this is also a topic for discussing movies, I finally saw Endgame last weekend.

Without delving into spoilers, the emotional moments, and general drama and character interplay really connected with me. Endgame is definitely a movie for the MCU fan, something which I happen to be.

On the other hand, I felt it didn't really work as a popcorn movie, which held it back from being truly great. Yes, that's partially the point (I'm certainly not saying its heavy, dramatic direction was a bad thing), but even the action just didn't measure up to past MCU movies for me. The time heists felt like an inferior riff on Inception, lacking its visual inventiveness and Nolan's distinctive direction, though revisiting past MCU movies was a neat twist. Meanwhile, the Thanos fights were compelling strictly for the dramatic moments rather than the action.

Here's my current MCU movie ranking:

Iron Man > The Avengers ~= Homecoming > GotG ~= GotG 2 > Civil War ~= Ragnarok ~= Ant-Man and the Wasp > Endgame ~= Ant-Man ~= Winter Soldier > Infinity War ~= Black Panther > Iron Man 3 ~= Doctor Strange > Age of Ultron > Iron Man 2 > Captain Marvel > The Dark World ~= The First Avenger ~= Thor > The Incredible Hulk

The first five are truly great, the next eight fall a bit short despite being quality in their own right, the five after that are inconsistent but nonetheless enjoyable, while the last four are just alright.

And my current MCU hero ranking (ranked using this link - https://sorta.app/q/1018):

Iron Man > Spider-Man > Ant-Man > Thor > Shuri > Captain America > Black Panther > Doctor Strange > Star-Lord > Rocket Raccoon > Nick Fury > Groot > Hulk > Mantis > Black Widow > Scarlet Witch > Drax the Destroyer > Captain Marvel > Hawkeye > Wasp > Falcon > Okoye > Nebula > War Machine > Wong > Gamora > Winter Soldier > Vision
