Add No Way Home and were good.

GotG 3
Deadpool and Wolverine
No Way Home

Haven't seen Thunderbolts or F4 but among the others the above are in a different league.

Thunderbolts* is the best I think, Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 and Spider-Man No Way Home also in contention. Eternals is very good, Shang-Chi, Wakanda Forever and Fantastic Four also good. Deadpool & Wolverine is very fun but Im not sure it is actually a good film. The rest are mostly middling except for Quantumania which is pretty bad. That covers them all I think.

This is actually how i feel about No Way Home personally, like it's fun if you have a lot of reverence & nostalgia for the old Spider-Man movies, but outside of that I think the actual plot of it all is a little weak with a bad ending.

Most Marvel movies are bad without context of having seen other ones so I'm not sure why we are specifically hating on Deadpool and Wolverine or No Way Home for it.

GotG3
Thunderbolts

GotG3, hands down, is the best
I liked No Way Home a lot and I didn't have Spider-Man nostalgia
I think Wakanda Forever is really underrated

I didn't like Thunderbolts at all and I don't see what people saw in it, I thought F4 was kinda meh, I thought Deadpool & Wolverine was... okay but not really as funny as the previous two movies

I thought The Marvels was fun and Thor Love & Thunder was about as good as Ragnarok, fight me

I kinda liked Multiverse of Madness

Guardians 3
Thunderbolts
Deadpool and Wolverine

Those are the top tier imo

Its definitely a step below things like GotG 3 but its better than quite a few post-Endgame films.

I have seen (almost) every single MCU movie and extended media property. This includes the disney plus shows. This is my general tier list of the post End Game movies

Must Watch
Spider-Man: No Way Home
Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 3
Thunderbolts*

Great/Good Movies
Spider-Man: Far From Home
Shang-Chi
Deadpool and Wolvervine
The Fantastic Four: First Steps

Does What They Need to Do But Flawed.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
Black Widow

Don't Watch Unless Your someone like me who watches all of this shit.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
Captain America Brave New World
Thor: Love and Thunder
Eternals

Even I have not seen this.
The Marvels

Some quick things. A lot of people will point to pure nostalgia on why No Way Home was so popular and that has a lot to do with it, but I also think the film manages to enhance its predecessors and not take away from their legacy.

Some hard movies for me to place were Deadpool and Woverine and Black Panther. I think from a pure enjoyment factor I really liked DaW. I though the cameos it has were great, but I can't deny that the actual substance the movie has is somewhat lacking. IMO this is one of the factors that puts it clear below No Way Home.

In the case of Black Panther, While I do think there has been some revisionist reviews complaining about the "MSheU", of which I think a lot of the criticism is justified for Marvel (and Disney) as a whole. I don't really think that applies here. I think the movie is just kind of forgettable. It's a good movie, but kind of tedious at times. I feel like if they made the same movie but didn't have to suddenly change course from their plans because of Boseman's unfortunate passing (like let's say they waited longer to plan out the narrative here) they could have made something great.

As for the bottom tier
Antman and the Wasp: QM is a movie i think is BETTER than a lot of people tend to give it credit for, but that's not a very high bar. It's a very good thing the movie ended how it did though because it kind of gives disney a story out.

Brave New World is the only one of these movies I did not see in theaters. The movie went through a ton of rewrites and reshoots and it really shows.

Love and Thunder and Eternals just both seem very unnecessary.

I loved Guardians of the Galaxy 3 but I haven't seen very many of the other ones due to their lack of raccoon content

GoTG 3 is the only top tier one

No Way Home is my favorite MCU movie period.

GoTG 3 easily.

I also like Love and Thunder despite its hate. F4 was also great, and both Spider-Man movies.

Guardians 3

But Multiverse is actually very underrated and probably has the best meaning and theme to its movie.

Strange, Black Panther, GotG and Spiderman sequels were all very good, as were Thunderbolts, F4 and Shang-Chi. Wasn't as high on Deadpool as some but it was good.

Of the ones I've seen

GotG3
No Way Home
Far From Home
Deadpool and Wolverine
Multiverse of Madness

Multiverse of Madness is the only one there I think is genuinely bad, the rest range from Great to Fun

No Way Home as well. But honestly, GotG3 is really the only one that feels like it's outstanding, and the rest are a full step below.

As for TV shows... I mean, I guess WandaVision, Hawkeye, Agatha All Along, Werewolf By Night, and Daredevil: Born Again are the best of those. And you can look up scenes with Sascha Baron Cohan in Ironheart too because those almost made that series worth it. Loki is supposed to be super important for the next Avengers slop.

Nothing about the MCU excites my anymore. There's no real reason to watch it all since nothing is promised to lead to anything anymore. No real plans are in place. Some stuff links up to others, but it all feels meaningless since they lost a proper cohesion to the universe by establishing very little about how the world is now aside from little snippets here and there and then out of nowhere developments.
