We’ve finally done it. We’ve opened the multiverse-sized can of worms that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe… and we’re not closing it anytime soon.
Loved, loathed, memed into oblivion – the MCU is the cinematic juggernaut that simply refuses to leave the group chat. So naturally, we thought: let’s rank all of it.
Dan is waving the Marvel flag like it’s Comic-Con opening day.
Rach is sharpening the knives.
Dale? Somewhere in the middle, holding a shield and wondering how it got this serious.
In this episode, we kick off our CineTiers MCU special, ranking every film (so far) into the sacred tiers: S, A, B, C, D, and E – just like we did with Pixar… except this time there are more capes, more quips, and significantly more arguments.
Because the MCU now has approximately a billion films/phases and counting, we’re splitting this into two parts.
👉 Part 1 covers everything from Iron Man through to Infinity War – aka the era many call “the good years” (we’ll let you decide if that holds up…).
Next week, we dive headfirst into Part 2, tackling everything post-Endgame up to the latest release – including the increasingly chaotic, multiverse-heavy, “wait, who is that again?” phase of Marvel.
If you’ve ever argued about the MCU… this one’s for you.
Which group of films do you want to see us cover next? We want to know!
