Ranking the 23 MCU movies (Infinity Saga)

What Marvel Studios has done is extremely unprecedented. Because they didn’t own the rights to their most popular characters like X-Men or Spider-Man (at the time), they were forced to take their B/C- level characters in Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and make movies about them. However, they took the time to flesh out these characters and humanize them and eventually, made them household names. As a result, they are now the biggest franchise in the world.

Now that the final film (Far From Home) in the Infinity Saga is out, I want to take a moment and rank all the 23 MCU movies. As always, this is subjective and I’m sure I like/dislike some MCU movies more than you.

23. Iron Man 2 – IM2 is by no means an awful movie. RDJ is once again excellent as Tony Stark, who also has a great arc in the film. This is also our first introduction to Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, who has a really kickass fight scene in the latter half. However, this movie felt like a set-up movie to The Avengers, and the SHIELD storyline simply existed to serve that purpose. In addition, this movie juggles with a lot of storylines without properly spending time on some of them. Not to mention, the villain is extremely sub-par. Even though there are definitely redeeming elements in this film and some enjoyable sequences, it remains the worst MCU movie.

22. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 – I know most people really like this movie but unfortunately, I am not one of them. The first movie had a great balance of humor and emotions, but this goes overboard with the humor. Drax, who is great in the first movie, becomes more of a caricature and a joke-machine, which left me massively dissatisfied. Not to mention, the plot is one of Marvel’s weakest and there are way too many villains in this one. That being said, the visuals are stunning, Peter-dad relationship is extremely poignant and Yondu’s death left me quite lachrymose. Overall, GOTG vol 2 is a massive step-down from the original.

21. Thor: The Dark World – Yes, Thor’s second outing has a lot of issues – terrible romance, the worst MCU villain-to date in Malekith, and an unfocused plot. However, it kinda works because the majority of the focus is on the relationship between Thor and Loki. Even though they are constantly bickering and trying to fight each other, deep down, they still love each other. This movie also has a good amount of humor, which sometimes does land in the cheesy territory. Despite entertaining action sequences and an emphasis on Thor-Loki sibling rivalry, the Dark World is one of Marvel’s weakest films.

20. Ant-Man & the Wasp (A&W) – After the universe-ending stakes of Infinity War, A&W was a really nice palette cleanser. This movie doubles down on the comedy, with some hilarious moments. The visual effects are also pretty solid, and I liked how the filmmakers utilize the characters’ abilities to shrink and grow. However, it’s lack of tie-in to Infinity War is also one of its shortcomings as it ends up being an okay yet forgettable film. The villain is pretty bland and the plot remains one of the weakest.

19. Iron Man 3 – One of the strengths of IM3 is that the filmmakers built the movie around Tony Stark, not Iron Man. After the harrowing events of the Avengers where he almost sacrificed his life, Tony starts dealing with PTSD which helps humanize him further. The action is also a big step up from the previous 2 Iron Man films, especially the sequence where Tony activates the House Party protocol and all his suits come to his assistance. Goosebumps!! However, the fake-Mandarin twist just ends up feeling like a cheap gimmick and the true villain, Aldrich Killian, ends up being another disposable villain.

18. The Incredible Hulk – The 2008 Hulk film has its fair share of detractors, but I like this one more than most. Even though Mark Ruffalo is clearly the best incarnation of the character, Ed Norton is decent as Bruce Banner. I also really enjoyed the action sequences between the Hulk and Abomination. But one thing this movie solidified is my belief that the Hulk works the best with an ensemble, not in a solo movie. There is only so much you can do with the character without getting stale and redundant and so far, his appearances in other people’s films have had a bigger impact on me than in his own films.

17. Doctor Strange – The movie boasts of a star-studded cast with the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Tilda Swinton, Mads Mikkelsen, the lovely Rachel McAdams! The visuals are absolutely out-of-this-world and warrant at least one viewing in 3-D. In addition, Cumberbatch’s surgeon-turned-magician is a relatable character and his back-and-forth with Wong is fun to watch. Unfortunately, the 2 antagonists (Kaecillius and Dormammu) are pretty underwhelming (a trend in the MCU) and the humor often felt forced. Nonetheless, this is a solid, entertaining film and set the stage for Dr. Strange in Infinity War. PS – Don’t text and drive. Unlike Dr. Strange, you won’t get to become a magician.

16. Captain Marvel – If you saw my review for Captain Marvel, you know that I really like this film. It has one of the strongest plots in the MCU and with its focus on Carol Danvers and Nick Fury, it felt like a delightful, buddy-cop flick. In addition, the twists with the Skrulls being the “good guys” who are just seeking refuge makes this film a relevant film in our political climate today. However, Brie Larson’s mediocre performance, coupled with lackluster visuals puts this film slightly near the bottom. Again, this movie’s rank and my positive opinion of the film is a testament to how good most Marvel movies have been.

15. Black Panther – After a glorified cameo in the Civil War movie, Black Panther returns to take up the mantle as the king of Wakanda, an extremely advanced African nation. This movie has a lot of great world-building, solid performances (especially from Michael B. Jordan as Killmonger) and a wonderful score. Black Panther also has some of the strongest female characters in the MCU, with Shuri, Okoye, Nakia who all have very distinct personalities. More importantly, the movie’s political themes make this especially relevant today. However, this movie ranks pretty low on my list for a few reasons. Like Dr. Strange, the humor is hit-or-miss and the CGI, especially in the climactic battle, is poor. More importantly, Black Panther being in an indestructible suit drastically lowers the stakes. Yes, this movie won a lot of accolades (including Oscar wins and Best Picture nomination), but in my humble opinion, this is the most overrated MCU film.

14. Ant-Man – Sans Spider-Man, Ant-Man (the character and the movie) remains one of Marvel’s most charming additions to the universe. The movie has a well-rounded cast but Paul Rudd’s casting as Scott Lang is the big reason for this film being so enjoyable. Rudd is so dam likable in the role and his passion is infectious. Not to mention, it isn’t so focused on saving the world than it is to see Scott save one person, his daughter. It’s definitely a nice change of pace from ‘The world is at stake!” Lastly, Michael Peña’s Luis is one of the funniest Marvel characters and his story-telling abilities are so f*n funny. Yes, you have a rushed romance and a one-dimensional villain but the problematic elements are minuscule, just like the titular character.

13. Avengers: Age of Ultron – Most people enjoy the second adventure of the Earth’s mightiest heroes but it tends to rank lower on their MCU ranking lists. For me, this is one of Marvel’s best. This movie focuses a lot on the characters and their relationships (intimate in the case of Nat and Bruce) with each other, something people tend to overlook. Even with the amazing Hulk-Hulkbuster scene and the party scene, my favorite scene in this movie is the farmhouse scene and I will argue with anyone about the brilliance of this scene. The Avengers were truly broken (at least until Thanos’ snap) and seeing the conversation with Nat and Bruce about their inability to have kids is heartbreaking. Yes, it does shove a lot of storylines, relies way too much on jokes, and Quicksilver’s death scene is laughable. In addition, Ultron could have been a menacing villain but ends up another disposable villain. However, it’s still a character-driven film, despite the crazy visuals, and laid the seeds for Civil War.

12. Thor – Being one of the most “out-there” and cosmic characters, Thor’s introduction seemed challenging. He’s an arrogant, Norse god with immense powers and a hammer that is virtually indestructible. Thus, the filmmakers decide to take those weapons away and have him learn humility. The sibling rivalry and the relationship between Odin and his 2 sons are poignant and add a really different layer to a superhero movie. What differentiates Loki from other villains is that at his core, he simply yearns for and seeks the love and respect from his adopted father, Odin. The performances are great, the action is fun to watch and the fish-out-of-water comedy is perfect for the film.

11. Spider-Man: Far From Home – The newest entry in the MCU is also one of Marvel’s best. You can check my review here but I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Mysterio is another great addition to the villainous roster and the post-credit scenes have major implications for the next Spidey film and the future of the MCU.

10. Iron Man – The movie that started it all! Iron Man is arguably the most popular character in pop-culture today but people often forget, he was a ‘nobody’ in 2008. Marvel took a huge (financial) chance with Jon Favreau’s Iron Man with a then-box office poison in Robert Downey Jr. This is a wonderful movie, with terrific performances and slick production design. More importantly, this movie set the tone for the MCU and teased the Avengers with the post-credit scene where Nick Fury talks to Tony about the “Avengers initiative”

9. Captain America: Civil War – After 2 amazing predecessors, I was teeming with anticipation for the second Russos-helmed movie, which would be semi-inspired from the Civil War comic. This movie does a great job of explaining both sides without necessarily choosing sides. At its core, it’s about the clash of ideologies, something Batman v Superman failed at. Albeit enjoyable, the airport battle is really unnecessary and as I watched it, I was afraid of the film having a huge third-act battle. Instead, the Russos smartly decide to make it small-scale with a personal, emotion-fueled battle between Cap and Bucky against Iron Man. Civil War is also an obvious example of the character journeys of Steve Rogers and Tony Stark. The former blindly followed protocol and order but grew to distrust the government. Tony, on the other hand, didn’t trust the established system but realized that reporting to a higher authority is essential. Zemo, the “villain” of the movie, is still one of Marvel’s best, most sympathetic villains. This was our first introduction to Black Panther and a new incarnation of Spider-~~Boy~~Man and both are utilized really well.

8. Captain America: The First Avenger – Captain America was never my favorite character from the comics. Pardon my phrase but he was too much of a “goody two shoes.” Even though this movie goes that route, Chris Evans’ performance makes this movie one of the best. His sincerity and earnestness to do the right thing, no matter the consequence, is extremely inspiring. The romance between Steve and Peggy is so earned, which is one reason for the dance scene in Endgame being so powerful. The First Avenger also has, hand’s down, the best quote in the MCU. Before the experiment, Dr. Erskine tells Steve, “The strong man who has known power all his life, may lose respect for that power, but a weak man knows the value of strength and knows… compassion. Whatever happens tomorrow you must promise me one thing. That you will stay who you are. Not a perfect soldier, but a good man.” Chills!!

7. Spider-Man Homecoming – When Sony/Marvel announced another Spider-Man movie, I admit I was a little fatigued and apprehensive. However, Homecoming turned out to be one of the biggest, pleasant surprises in the MCU. This movie is such a refreshing film, with hilarious characters and gut-wrenching laughs. Civil War did a great job, but Homecoming is the first Spider-Man film to truly understand the character. Yes, saving the world is important but so is the date with a girl you have a crush on. Tom Holland showcases his dramatic skills especially in the scene where he is stuck underneath the rubble. Oh, and Michael Keaton as the Vulture? Sign me up! Homecoming proved that nobody is more menacing (not even a CGI villain trying to destroy the world) than Keaton staring directly at Peter and speaking in a growly voice in a car. If that happened to me, I would definitely pee my pants. Jokes aside, Homecoming also nicely ties into the Avengers mythos and Tony essentially becomes the ‘Uncle Ben’ figure to Peter.

6. Guardians of the Galaxy – GOTG was one of the biggest risks Marvel had ever taken. Characters like Iron Man or Captain America were at least semi-familiar characters but the Guardians were unheard of, even amongst Marvel fans. Once again, Marvel surprised us. The characters of Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and Groot are such different characters, but you absolutely buy this band of misfits becoming a family. It is a gorgeous film to look at and has the best soundtrack of any MCU film to-date. Unfortunately, a poor villain and a ridiculous ending (the Guardians holding hands and absorbing the power of the infinity stone to beat the villain) preclude the film from joining the Top 5.

5. Thor Ragnarok – Ragnarok is the single funniest MCU movie to-date. The director Taika Watiti, who also plays Korg, exploits the comedic sensibilities of its lead Chris Hemsworth and literally takes the character to a new direction – a comedic, buddy-cop, space opera! The new additions like Korg, Valkriye, Hela are all great! Jeff Goldblum plays Jeff Goldblum, which is always charming! Aesthetically speaking, this movie has some of the best visuals in the MCU and the color palette is visual eye-candy. But don’t let the comedy fool you into thinking that this movie is inconsequential. Ragnarok is also one of Marvel’s darkest films, with Thor losing his hammer, eye, father, friends, Asgard, etc. Aside from a little too much emphasis on jokes undercutting some dramatic moments, Ragnarok absolutely deserves to be in the Top 5.

4. Avengers: Infinity War – Just looking at the sheer number of characters in the film is more than enough to scare any filmmaker. However, the Russo brothers somehow make this movie work. Each and every character gets a moment to shine but the focus is still kept on the film’s main characters – Thanos and Thor. Speaking of, after glorified cameos in the 2 previous Avengers movies and Guardians 1, Thanos finally got his due with this film and boy, he commands the screen. Thanks to Infinity War and Endgame, he’s now my all-time favorite villain. Infinity War contains a lot of fun character meet-ups and interactions, with Thor meeting the Guardians, Iron Man meeting Dr. Strange, etc. The (numerous) action sequences are some of the best in the MCU and the cliffhanger of an ending left everyone in the theatre in shock!

3. Captain America: The Winter Soldier – When asked about their favorite MCU film, many often reply with the Winter Soldier and I can totally see why. This film completely changed the “goody two shoes” nature of Steve Rogers by putting him in the “real world” and addresses current issues of espionage, surveillance, etc. For the first time, Steve is forced to distrust the government and the system, and the movie does a good job building up to that. It’s a political thriller with some genuine twists I didn’t see coming. The hand-to-hand combat sequences are some of the best in the MCU, and we witness wonderful friendships between Steve, Nat, and Sam Wilson (Falcon). Honestly, this is the movie that made Captain America become my favorite character in the MCU. Minor complaints aside, this is easily the best, solo superhero film in the MCU and absolutely deserves a spot in the top 3.

Spoiler alert – My top 2 MCU films are 2 Avengers films. However, the reason they are so high on my list is because of the solid groundwork/set-ups and character-work laid in the solo films.

2. Avengers: Endgame – Like Captain America himself, I can talk about this film all day. Here is my full, in-depth review of Endgame. In summary, Endgame is such a satisfying conclusion and is all the more rewarding to those of us that have carefully seen the other films and been a part of the journey. There are so many call-backs, references to the other films but they serve a purpose in the story. The actors arguably deliver their best performances to date and the final third-act battle is everything the Marvel fan in me could have ever hoped for. Like all of you, I love this movie 3000.

1. The Avengers – Tied with Jurassic Park as my favorite movie(s) of all time, The Avengers is still the benchmark for all the comic book films. This is a movie that I never dreamed would ever happen and boy, it did! Joss Whedon understood these characters and smartly wrote his movie around them. The characters and their interactions with each other, the action, the humor, the story are all great and make for the best, the most enjoyable film in the MCU to-date. Not to mention, The Avengers is also endlessly quotable.

Avengers: Endgame Review (SPOILERS)

Just curious, have any of you heard of this little, independent, low-budget flick called Avengers: Endgame? No? Thought so. I doubt this movie is going to make much at the box office. It’ll probably just fly under-the-radar. While that might be true in an alternate reality, it’s very much the opposite on ours. Endgame is currently the second-highest grossing film worldwide and now has its eyes set on the big prize – Avatar. All that being said, I apologize for not putting up my non-spoilery review earlier. I’ve simply been too busy with college and personal life and had very little time to post a review. No matter, I am here now and in case you didn’t read the title, this article will contain SPOILERS for Avengers: Endgame! So, be warned!

What Marvel Studios has done is completely unprecedented. Creating the first shared cinematic universe under the leadership of Kevin Feige, Marvel has produced quality movies that have been received well by the critics (RT critic percentage score), the audience (CinemScore) and made ungodly amounts of money. After 22 films, Marvel Studios finally gave us Avengers: Endgame, which is such a satisfying conclusion to the Infinity Saga. Even though the movie has a lot going on, the Russo brothers are able to juggle the story, a multitude of characters, action and somehow deliver a cohesive narrative. They also resolve the major teases and set-ups from the previous movies into this concoction of awesomeness. Being a special movie, I am also going to make this review a little different. Rather than listing the pros and cons, I will talk about the movie and the performers, list the 9 most important call-backs, rank my top 5 scenes in the movie, and some questions I had.

Performances/Character Arcs

I don’t think Marvel Studios gets enough credit for their superhero castings. Most of the big Marvel stars are Oscar-nominated/ winners and have had an illustrious career. Because Endgame is the swansong for most of the OG actors, it’s only fitting that they go out with a bang and, arguably end up giving their best performances to date.

Robert Downey Jr. has done such a remarkable job as Tony Stark/Iron Man, but he saves his best for the last. From scenes like leaving his “dying” message to Pepper on the Benatar to making the ultimate sacrifice by uttering his iconic phrase “I am Iron Man,” he made the character of Tony Stark a household name and left such a mark on the character that we can’t see anyone else playing the “genius, billionaire playboy, philanthropist.”

The first Avenger himself, Captain America, played by Chris Evans, has delivered some excellent performances in Gifted or Snowpiercer, but also saves his best performance in Endgame. My favorite non-action scene from Evans is when he is leading the support group. Even though Steve tries his best to convince others to move on, it’s clear that he is unable to and reminisces of the life he could have had with Peggy. Rather than going “all-out” in that particular scene, Evans delivered a more subdued performance, which was perfectly in-line with the character.

Chris Hemsworth, as Thor Odinson, gives the most underrated performance in this movie and it’s an absolute shame that people aren’t talking about it as much. Even though this version of the God of Thunder is more broken, depressed and has a ‘beer belly,’ he’s probably the most “human” we’ve seen from Thor. Ever since Thor Ragnarok, Thor has had such an interesting character arc. After losing all the loved ones in his third flick, he suffered another loss with Loki in Infinity War and almost avenged his brother’s death if he actually went for Thanos’ head. But the thing is, even after he did chop the mad Titan’s head off, it was ultimately futile, and Thor finally succumbed to the depression and just lost his will to do anything, hence his physique. Yes, you had the comedy with his belly but the scene represented Thor’s depression and I respect the Russos for giving this incarnation of Thor.

Mark Ruffalo has always shown to be a terrific dramatic actor and even though we don’t really see Ruffalo as Ruffalo, he’s still really good as the Professor Hulk, who is the perfect mix of Banner’s brain and the Hulk’s strength. However, it is a little jarring to see this version of the Hulk right away. After all, we saw Banner struggle to bring out the Hulk in Infinity War, but the duo apparently worked out their problems off-screen.

Jeremy Renner, as Hawkeye, is no one’s favorite Avenger and people often complain about Hawkeye’s purpose because of his lack of superpowers but that is it. Not every character needs to have extraordinary abilities and one thing Clint has over the other Avengers is a– family. When you see his family turn to dust, you can’t help but feel sorry for the archer and Renner plays those scenes extremely well.

Scarlett Johansson, the sixth and final OG Avenger, gives my favorite performance in the movie and the best scene where she really demonstrates her acting chops is the scene after the 5-year jump. She learns about Clint’s murderous actions and is just so overwhelmed with emotions that she breaks down in tears. And oh man, the scene where she sacrifices herself by assuring Clint that “it’s ok. let me go,” left me lachrymose. This movie showcased these performers at their very best and it’s extremely emotional to have been a part of their journeys.

Call-Backs

Being the culmination of the Infinity Saga, Endgame has a lot of call-backs to the previous films. To avoid making this article longer than it already is, I will mention the 9 most important ones, in no particular order.

The cheeseburger reference is a reference to the fast-food Tony ordered after returning from his cave ordeal in Afghanistan (Iron Man 1).
“I am Iron Man” is the iconic line Tony uttered at the end of Iron Man 1, revealing his superhero identity to the public. It’s extremely fitting that those also be his last words before he snapped his fingers and reduced Thanos and his army to dust. Ha, puns!
“Suit of armor around the world” – After returning to Earth in Endgame, a physically damaged Tony reminds Steve of his plan to build “a suit of armor around the world” as the first line of defense against potential alien threats. This is a reference to his creation – Ultron. In Age of Ultron, he wanted to create Ultron to protect the Earth, but as Steve rightfully reminds him, that didn’t turn out so well.
Cap lifting Mjolnir – Even though Steve budged Thor’s hammer in Age of Ultron, we never thought we would actually see Cap lift the hammer because it was destroyed in Thor: Ragnarok. However, once the present-day Thor summoned the hammer during the time-travel scene, the possibility of Cap wielding Mjolnir went up drastically. Thankfully, Marvel finally fulfilled our collective wishes to see Captain America lift and use Mjolnir and boy, was it awesome.
“Hail Hydra” – In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, we learn that Hydra, the secret NAZI organization, infiltrated SHIELD and planned to eliminate their opponents using the 3 Helicarriers. In one of the many memorable scenes from that movie, Cap had an intense fight with Hydra agents in an elevator. In Endgame, Cap is confronted with the same Hydra agents (coincidence?) in an elevator but this time, he simply utters “Hail Hydra,” which is also similar to a recent comic book arc. Later in the same scene in Endgame, we also get a cameo from Robert Redford, who played the SHIELD-masquerading as HYDRA head – Alexander Pierce.
“Don’t do anything stupid until I get back” – In Captain America: The First Avenger, Bucky was recruited to fight in the war while a then-skinny Steve wasn’t. Before he left though, Bucky tells Steve to not do anything stupid, which Steve retorts with “How can I? You’re taking all the stupid with you.” In the present day, there is a nice line-reversal. Before Steve goes back in time to put the infinity stones back where they belonged, Steve is now the one to tell Bucky to not do anything stupid, with Bucky reminding Steve of taking “all the stupid.” It’s not only a nice callback but also a great farewell moment between the two.
“On your left” – It seems as if most of the important call-backs in Endgame came from Tony and Steve’s history, which makes sense as Endgame is the culmination to their stories. This line is great call-back to the opening scene in the Winter Soldier, where we see Steve outrunning Sam and saying “on your left,” to Sam Wilson’s competitive chagrin. In Endgame, however, Falcon gets to utter the phrase before all the dusted heroes return!
Steve-Peggy Dance – At the end of Captain America: The First Avenger, Steve, and Peggy don’t have their dance because of Steve’s “sacrifice.” After being constantly reminded by everyone to get a life and after completing his mission, Steve decides to stay with Peggy and dance with his one true love.
1 in 14,000,605 chances – In Infinity War, Dr. Strange gives up the time stone to save Tony’s life, a direct contrast to his line earlier in the movie where he swore he would let Tony die to protect the stone. Fast forward to Endgame, as the Avengers are battling out with Thanos and his army, Tony asks Strange if this is that 1 future where they win, to which Strange replies, “If I tell you what happens, it won’t happen.” As the battle progresses and Thanos once again gets all 6 stones, Strange lifts one finger, reminding Tony of that 1 future where they win.

Top 5 Scenes

Avengers Assemble – Ever since the first Avengers, we’ve been waiting for Captain America to say his iconic battle-rally cry “Avengers Assemble!” He almost said it in Avengers: Age of Ultron but not quite. In this movie, however, he finally says it! After Dr. Strange and Wong open portals to bring all the heroes in the MCU, including the dusted heroes, Asgardians, the Ravagers (from GOTG vol 2), Wakandans, Cap finally utters the phrase! And then, we get the money-shot with all the heroes charging into battle! Just take all my money and give me that poster!
Funeral – After Tony sacrifices himself to snap away Thanos’ and his entire army, we get a beautiful scene with all the remaining heroes attending the funeral of their fallen Avenger. As the camera moves around, we see all the different groups of people Tony impacted. What a legacy!
Time-heist planning session – I know the big battles in Endgame will be talked about for years to come, but I actually think that the time-heist planning session was one of the best scenes in the movie. The reason we love the MCU so much is because of the characters and the different character interactions. Even though there is no action in this scene, the dialogue makes this scene so riveting to watch.
Tony and Steve in the 1970 Camp – Even though this scene exists for Tony to get the space stone and for Steve to get additional Pym particles, it was a lot more than that. We finally get closure with Tony and his tumultuous relationship with his dad and a subtle foreshadowing for Steve’s actions at the end of the movie. Again, this was a beautifully executed scene with the two main Avengers getting their moments to shine
Cap, Thor and Iron Man’s stand against Thanos – After completely razing the Avengers headquarters, Thanos sits patiently, waiting for the heroes to fight him. Once the trio realizes that Thanos was again after the gauntlet but didn’t have it yet, they decide to make their final stand against him. In a nerdgasm moment, Thor double wields Stormbreaker and Mjolnir and the Marvel’s trinity charge at the Mad Titan.

Questions

Doesn’t Steve staying in the past at the end completely change the timeline and create a old new timeline?
Does the Loki Disney+ series pick up after he used the space stone to escape, during the alternate Battle of New York scene?
How is Vision coming back? After all, Wanda (Scarlet Witch) and Vision have their own Disney+ show coming.
Is the main focus of (As)Guardians of the Galaxy 3 finding the 2014 -version Gamora?
If a past version of Gamora can come back in present-day, can’t the Avengers bring back a pre-Vormir Black Widow using time-travel?
Speaking of, is the Black Widow movie a prequel?

Rating – Overall, Avengers: Endgame is an extremely poignant yet entertaining film! Aside from some pacing issues in the first hour, time-travel mumbo jumbo, this is the film of the year! 4.7/5
