Cap 1 is definitely better than Incredible Hulk.

[Benjamin]

Saying Cap 1 was the worst is just wrong when Iron Man 2 was in the same category.

It's basically Thor > Iron Man > Cap 1 > Hulk > All the shorts > Spiderman or something > Green Lantern > Iron Man 2.

[stokeriño]

Iron Man 2 behind Green Lantern when, for all its faults, it nonetheless has a) Sam Rockwell and b) redheaded Scarlett Johansson?

That's just not right.

[DFF]

Green Lantern may not even be better than the Incredible Hulk...

[EWB's Best Poster.]

Ah, Hulk was alright. His fight with blonski the first time was pretty awesome.

Hard to say with one I liked least. Is it iron man 2? I wish they hadn't cut so much of whiplash out, since rourke did his best to really flush the character out and they left it on the floor. He actually says some pretty nasty shit about the movie for that.

I actually have to say the third one. Not because I dont like the plot, or the characters or the fights. I just got tired of seeing him wave his hands and the suits fly apart and grab him over and over. It got tedious. Even then, I can't say its "bad".

I wouldn't put Thor over Cap though, personally. But Thor isn't clicking with me as much, I guess. Rest of the cast is, but he and his girl arent.

[DFF]

Iron Man 3 pisses all over Iron Man 2. >_>

[Szumi]

It's kinda like how Captain America was the weakest of the first phase movies

Surely The Incredible Hulk was worse?

Stok, stop calling people Schurrle!

[Benjamin]

Iron Man 2 is horrible. It honestly is the only bad movie of the MCU (though for some TDW might be bad as well).

I might have been exaggerating that it's worse than Green Lantern, though. At least it didn't have the piece of cardboard that is Blake Lively.

[livid]

I just can't hate Iron Man 2 knowing that Sam Rockwell is in it. It's not particularly good but I wouldn't say Iron Man 3 was either, really.

It's waaaaaay worse than Iron Man 3. Sam Rockwell being in it doesn't make the story any better.

[livid]

Objectively sure but I thought it was pretty clear I wasn't being objective at all.

[probablyoliver]

For me it goes...

Cap 2

Iron Man 3

Avengers

Iron Man

Thor

Hulk

Thor 2

Cap

Iron Man 2

I still havent seen Guardians.

[LL!]

I still havent seen Guardians.

Rectify this, you god damn pleb.

[TheSqauredCircleMessiah]

This is just a rumor, but apparently an extra from the Batman/Superman shoot told a reporter here in Michigan about a potential major character for the movie and who will play the role:

Jena Malone as Robin

[Maxx]

In more DC rumors, they've allegedly got Will Smith and Tom Hardy circling Suicide Squad, and are also trying to being Ryan Gosling into the mix.

[GoGo Yubari]

Gosling would be an okay Deadshot in the Arrow mold of the character, I guess, but I think they could get someone who could do it better. But then I think I'm just a little tired of him in general.

The casting news in the spoiler I am ALL ABOUT. Do want.

[Draevyn]

Hardy seems to be the go to guy lately for comic book movies which I'm okay with since he plays a pretty good take no prisoners character. They're looking at him for X-Men: Apocalypse as well.

[Drock007]

I'm not totally for a Civil War film, but a theme that'll help connect that phases films would be good. I think the last phase has suffered in places without a key vision to unite it. Iron Man 3 and Thor: TDW definitely felt like water treading compared to Cap 2 or Guardians, which really expanded on the MCU. I think with sequels, we've reached a point where you really need to add something to the bigger story. I think that's why Thor: TDW sucked so much, because it was invested in revisiting what we've established (Thor on Earth) rather than expanding on Asgard and the Nine Realms.

I think it's worth keeping in mind that TDW did establish the concept of the Infinity Stones in the context of the MCU. Before TDW the Tesseract was just an Asgardian relic, but after TDW it's one of the three Infinity Stones we've seen so far, along with the Aether from TDW and the Power stone from GOTG.

It's kinda like how Captain America was the weakest of the first phase movies, but it introduced the Tesseract, which was vital to the plot of The Avengers. The way things are tracking you've gotta think Avengers 3 will have Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet. Only question would be when the rest of the stones will show up I guess.

It's also said that the Staff Loki used to mind control Hawk eye is also an infinity stone

[Avenged Probably]

Wasn't that just the tesseract though?

[stokeriño]

Nah, the Chitauri Sceptre is distinct from the Tesseract. Loki was provided with the Sceptre as part of the deal he made to obtain the Tesseract (to then supposedly hand over to Thanos after conquering Earth).

But although it makes a lot of sense for it to be another Infinity Stone (the one for Mind, if we're even able to apply proper names to them all in the MCU)...I've not seen it officially acknowledged as such anywhere, nor has it appeared on any occasion where the Infinity Stones are mentioned and we're offered a glimpse of the Tesseract/Aether. This makes me think it might just be Another Powerful Thing, though for all I know I'll get proven wrong when it (by way of Strucker and the twins) possibly makes another appearance in Age of Ultron.
