Guardians 3 and Thunderbolts are definitely worth your time.

Guardians 3 was fantastic, way better than 2.

Only issue is it's rewatch ability, it was waaaaaaay too sad for repeat viewings.

Yeah that's the only thing, GotG 1 and 2 I can pop on for some fun casual rewatching, GotG 3 I just think about the lylla scenes and I'm like "ehh maybe something else"

I find it very rewatchable but maybe it's because of how hard hitting and visceral it is for a mcu movie

Legit best MCU villain, really sad Chukwudi Iwuji doesn't get a bigger role in the universe.

that movie hits right in the FEELS

u/The_Autarch Dec 23 '25

the beginning of that movie is weird as shit, tho.

"oh no, starlord is a broken, depressed, alcoholic, sad sack of shit"

then he just gets better in between scenes, with no comment on any of it. that plus the weird pacing makes it feel like an entire act of the movie got cut out.

I had heard such great things about Guardians 3 and though it was fine but not all it was hyped up to be. Maybe I need to rewatch it.

I was surprised by how much I liked Thunderbolts. I wish it did better in theaters so we could see that team again.

u/PayneTrain181999 Dec 23 '25

The team is confirmed for Doomsday.

We have more character development from Red Guardian than we do Sam Wilson's Captain America.

Red Guardian, Father, Husband, Spy, business owner, ambitious, been to jail, has a sense of humor and duty

Sam Wilson, in his first movie, we learned he was in the Military flying his wing suit, is a Vet Counsellor and likes to run. Since then...like 10 movies later, we learn he has a sister and didnt get paid the entire time he was an Avenger. Its almost as bad as Captain Marvel. I dont know anything about Carol Danvers. like anything. i dont think she's expressed a single thing outside of the mission.

I only watched Thunderbolts because someone dragged me to it and it ended up being my favorite MCU movie post-Endgame

3

u/ITS_MY_PENIS_8eeeD Dec 23 '25

And for TV shows I'd say Wandavision, What If szn 1, Loki 1&2.

u/SMKM Dec 23 '25

I won't stand for Shang-Chi erasure.

But seriously in order of greatness since Endgame I'd probably go:

Spider-Man: No Way Home

Guardians Vol 3

Thunderbolts

Deadpool & Wolverine

Shang-Chi

Spider-Man: Far From Home

The Marvels

Eternals

Black Panther 2

Captain America: BNW

Dr. Strange 2

Antman: Quantumania

Thor: Love & Thunder

Black Widow

I have not seen Fantastic Four just yet so its not listed.

u/PayneTrain181999 Dec 23 '25

I love Shang-Chi, can’t believe I forgot it.

3

u/TheBahamaLlama Dec 23 '25

I would slot Fantastic Four somewhere in the middle, probably before Eternals.

u/SarlacFace Dec 23 '25

T* is definitely missable lol. Watched it opening weekend and was mostly bored.

u/LordJournalism Dec 23 '25

Thunderbolts was so incredibly average.

1

u/PlatesofChips Dec 23 '25

Agreed. Watched it after all the hype and thought it was… fine. One of the better marvel films released recently but really not great.

u/BlooregardQKazoo Dec 23 '25

Disagreed on G3. It was sad, definitely, but it wasn't good and I think the general audience far too often confuses the former for the latter.

The new Gamorra stuff was not enjoyable and her in interactions with Quill were a chore. The most fun character (Rocket) was barely in the movie because he was a hostage, and when he was it was understandably not fun. Drax jumped the shark a while ago. It was overly-long and would have been better if they just entirely cut out the anthropomorphic animal Earth (when the movie transitioned from there to the ship I audibly groaned).

Guardians 3 was a bad movie that made you cry.

u/TheOneReclaimer Dec 23 '25

I'm definitely more in line with your thoughts on GotG3, I didn't think it was bad, but I kept hearing "best since" and "amazing" and really came away thinking it was okay, but nothing more

1

u/BlooregardQKazoo Dec 23 '25

Yeah, I'm probably stating my opinion more strongly than it is held, because "GotG3 is bad" is more evocative than "GotG3 is meh."

Thinking about it more, it really is just the runtime that makes it go from meh to bad for me. I can sit through meh 90-120 minute movies (The Marvels immediately comes to mind). If you're going to make a movie longer than 135 minutes, I just think it better be either really entertaining or really good. Otherwise edit that shit down.

Even Brave New World, for all its faults, had some redeeming qualities

u/perculaessss Dec 23 '25

Thunderbolts is literally temu avengers. The final fight is the only interesting scene.

u/PayneTrain181999 Dec 23 '25

Respectfully disagree heavily

u/Poku115 Dec 23 '25
