My Top 5 Favorite Marvel Movies (At Least For Now) #MarvelMondays

January 29, 2018 By Ashley 22 Comments

Less than a 100 days kids. I'm not freaking out or anything. Hahaha, yeah no of course I am freaking out. But I'm trying to remain calm…ish. So to past the time I have been busy discussing all my Black Panther theories and watching the MCU movies with the family. This made my kids ask, what are my favorites? After thinking about it, I decided not to only share it with them but also with you all for Marvel Mondays this week. It is slightly easier than the complete chronological timeline of the MCU, slightly. Here are my top 5 favorite Marvel films, at least for now.

My Top 5 Favorite Marvel Films

Each week to celebrate #MarvelMondays, my geeky friend, Jana of Merlot Mommy, and I will be bringing you fun Marvel posts leading up to the Infinity War premiere. You can read about her favorites here. Last week we shared the Complete Guide to the MCU Timeline. Make sure to read her post too. And, join us on Twitter every Monday @ThatAshleyErin and @MerlotMommy!

Everything You Need To Know Before Avengers Infinity War

If you thought I could put these in order based of most favorite you must think I'm a villain. Instead of trying to pick a number one, because that is like asking me to pick a favorite child, I will list these in order of release date. See how diplomatic that is?
Marvel's Avengers

Everything You Need To Know Before Avengers Infinity War

I can watch (and have watched) this movie so many times and I still love it just as much as the first time I saw it. Finally seeing all of them together and the antics that ensued, priceless. This one will forever be in my top 5. 

My Top 5 Favorite Marvel Films

Captain America: The Winter Solider

My Top 5 Favorite Marvel Films

The Winter Soldier was a crucial film not only for Captain America's storyline but the overall MCU. It introduced us to Falcon and Agent 13, Sharon Carter. Black Widow had a ton of screen time, proving that we do need a Black Widow movie. Or at least one that shows us what happened in Budapest. Bucky was brought back in an emotional and gut-wrenching way. I love the fierceness of The Winter Soldier and the complexity you see in his emotions. How can you not break a little each time Bucky shows conflict? Watching his poor mind trying to piece together fragments, whisperings of a past that he should know. 

My Top 5 Favorite Marvel Films

The big revelation was HYDRA hiding away inside of S.H.I.E.L.D. growing like a parasite. Poor Steve, he gave up his life to defeat The Red Skull and Hydra only to find out they were still around. No wonder he is pissed. I would be too. Not to mention one of my favorite fight scenes in the whole film, yeah you know the one. “Before we get started, does anyone want to get out?” And then the almost sigh before he knocks them all out. 

My Top 5 Favorite Marvel Films

Guardians of the Galaxy
This movie seem to come out of left field. The Guardians was unlike anything we had seen in the MCU and even the characters themselves were not your typical heroes. A talking tree and raccoon are going to save the galaxy. Seems legit. 

The movie was amazing. I have nothing else to add other than, I am Groot. 

Ant-Man
Three reasons why I love Ant-Man. Number one, Luis' narration of events and overall awesomeness. Can we get him to recap all MCU storylines for us? Someone tell Marvel Studios this needs to happen. 

My Top 5 Favorite Marvel Films

Two, Paul Rudd. I can't imagine anyone else being Scott Lang, Also, I personally relate to how he felt in Civil War when he met Captain America. I would be star struck too! Bonus points for Wasp, especially when she punched him in the face without any remorse, epic. Three, the overall feel of the movie. Watching it, I almost felt like it was a low budget movie but not in a bad way. What I mean is there is obvious CGI, but it didn't feel like that's all I was watching. It felt more barebones than other MCU films, allowing you to really get a feel for the characters. 

My Top 5 Favorite Marvel Films

Thor: Ragnarok
Where to start on this one? The action scenes in this movie are pretty epic. We have Hela striding onto the screen and death following with her. She quickly shuts down Mjolnir and looks fabulous doing it. Thor and Hulk have another battle, this time without any interference from S.H.I.E.L.D. and we see Thor doesn't really need his hammer to bring the Thunder and Lightning. 

Spoiler Free Thor Ragnarok Review

Loki is back, and loving life disguised as Odin, that is until Thor returns to Asgard. I have always liked that Loki is mercurial and Ragnarok shows us that yet again. Loki is not one to let you figure him out for long. This film is definitely trying to push Loki to make some positive changes. But when we see him turning over the Tesseract to Thanos, is he changing sides again or being forced to do it?

Spoiler Free Thor Ragnarok Review

Newcomers: The Grandmaster, Korg, and Valkyrie bring their own unique personalities to the movie.  I know I can't be the only one who wants to see The Grandmaster and his brother The Collector get back together at some point.

Hela Inspired DIY Projects

Bonus: Big Hero 6
Not in the MCU timeline at all but it is still originally a Marvel property and a movie so I'm putting it in here. Baymax, enough said. I was really hoping for a sequel to the movie, but the new show looks great. Our whole family is excited for more Baymax. And when Kingdom Hearts 3 finally gets released, Sora gets to fly with Baymax and possibly fight evil Baymax. But that's a gaming nerd tangent for another day. 

 

My Top 5 Favorite Marvel FilmsWhy did I say at least for now? With Black Panther, Infinity War, Ant-Man and The Wasp, Captain Marvel, Guardians 3, etc coming in the future this list might get a shakeup. I do know the original Avengers and Winter Soldier will forever be in my top 5!
94 days to go, until Avengers Infinity War is in theaters everywhere!

    Yep, my family and I will certainly be seeing this movie. We’ve seen all the others so there’s no reason not to see this one. I’m not sure if we’ll watch it in theatres though.

    Man, I need to catch up! I just watched Thor this past weekend. I have seen some of these on your list. I’ll have to find the others (i.e.; Ant Man) soon, before Infinity War comes out.

    What a fun Twitter party to join – I know a few friends who would love to be in on that! Marvel always has the best superheroes. I always feel like there’s a new movie coming out and that I’m falling behind!

    I still haven’t seen Ant Man, or the newest Avengers, but I’m a HUGE fan. I haven’t met a Marvel (or DC for that matter) movie or show I don’t like.

    It is a great year for Marvel movies! I’m looking forward to Black Panther and Ant Man / Wasp just as much as Avengers Infinity War so there is a lot to look forward to for comic book fans like myself.

    Would you believe that I’m not a huge superhero movie fan? Although, when I do watch them, I usually am glad that I did.

    Mine are always anything that heavily features Iron Man. He’s my favourite Marvel character. But after that, I guess it would be the GOTG. They’re just so funny along with being so action packed.

“This is a new day. A new beginning.” - Ahsoka “This is a new day. A new beginning.” - Ahsoka Tano  2020 has been a year. And I won’t lie and say it’s been easy but we decided early on to try and find the positive. The light amidst  the darkness.  While I know that Jan 1st isn’t going to magically fix things, I do look forward to 2021 in hopes that everyone comes together, does what needs to be done, so that by the end of it we will have some semblance of balance in the force.  I don’t do New Years resolutions but I do plan on continuing to look for the light, be the good, and help others to as well. Just like my girl Ahsoka Tano. 🧡💙  #tanotuesday #ahsokatano #ahsokalives #heruniverse #batuuesday #starwarsgalaxysedge #disneydesignercollection  #ahsokaforever #starwarsgirls
