Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 3 (Movie Lineup Through 2019)

[ScottotD]

One of the advantages of being in the Southern Hemisphere is we get it at least a day before the US

Just got my ticket to the Imax showing of Avengers Endgame, 6:15 pm, April 25th.

You got through the website? I'm in a queue on Fandango with a "More than an hour" wait. AMC's website has been crashing for the past 90mins. Frustrating. See everyone in the RRRAAARRRGGHH thread.

[Pak-Man]

I'm buying mine right now right from the theater's website. Fandango isn't the only way to get tickets. (EDIT: I'm going with a smaller local theater that serves food, so the site wasn't swamped.)

EDIT 2: And I'm all set for a Saturday afternoon showing. I miss the days of first-showings. The insane die-hard fans that populate those showings always make for great audiences, but parenthood makes it very hard to arrange for a sitter. I'll just enjoy a nice nerdy afternoon date with my wife and all the casual fans.

Congrats, Pak! My wife went to the theater in person to get ours when they opened. Thursday night IMAX showing. She had to take the baby too, so I like thinking people thought they were there to go see Dumbo only to see her get the tickets and walk away. Haha.

I *sooo* hear you about getting a sitter. The whole thing's a lot more difficult now. We've gone to the movies 3x since he was born (2 of those were on our birthdays). This is one where we both agree it's worth the hassle.

[Cyrusso]

I'm sorry you had so much trouble Stan.  For some reason I got through in less than a minute or two.

The Franklin Institute in Philly is doing a Marvel super heroes exhibit, looks really cool, might have to go see it sometime:

I just got my actual tickets in hand today from the movie theater. Hard to believe it's only 10 days away now.

Got my tickets for 7pm on the 25th!

I'm guessing in another say... maybe 40 or 50 years from now(When I will be LONG gone from this mortal coil) and hopefully Rifftrax keeps having an enduring amount of popularity maybe we'll have a top 50 MCU films LoC... MAYBE. That being said, if it's okay I'd like to share how so far I personally rank the MCU films(22 next week). Feel free to agree or disagree. This list will most likely change by next week.

[Darth Geek]

The only ones I found to be just plain bad was Ant-Man and Ant-Man And The Wasp. I LOVE The Incredible Hulk. And I'm clearly in the minority on these.
I only found Iron Man 3 to be half bad, but at least it's nice to see someone else who doesn't praise it to the high heavens for some goddamn reason.

[Cyrusso]

When Iron Man 3 came out I was kind of back and forth on my feelings about it for a while until I realized... okay this really isn't very good. The whole plot "twist" with the Mandarin pissed me off the most I think.

The Mandarin twist didn't bother me that much because it happens so late in the movie. I hated the PTSD crap at the beginning because I just didn't buy it. I also didn't buy for a second that Tony would blow up the suits, or that Pepper would even want him too. And even aside from that the movie just has way too much going on. It's overcomplicated with doing the Mandarin terrorist AND the main villain with superpowers, plus Tony without his suit in the middle, and the kid, and his relationship with Pepper Potts, and her getting powers.

If you include MCU tv shows, then, very soon, that will add another 14 properties. Break those tv shows down by season, you won't even have to wait for the Disney+ shows to come out.

Agents of SHIELD (2013-)
Agent Carter (2015–2016)
Inhumans (2017)
Daredevil (2015–2018)
Jessica Jones (2015–)
Luke Cage (2016–2018)
Iron Fist (2017–2018)
The Defenders (2017)
The Punisher (2017–2019)Runaways (2017–)
Cloak & Dagger (2018–)The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
WandaVision
Loki
Hawkeye
What If

P.S. Thank you for not putting Thor: Dark World in your "bad" category. I feel it only memed its way to the bottom recently because people want fresh meat and are bored of the same Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 2 complaints.

[Pak-Man]

I'll back up Mr. Geek on The Incredible Hulk. I think people hated on THAT one because they hadn't quite washed the taste of Ang Lee out of their mouths. It's a great Hulk story. It's got everything a good Hulk story needs. The struggle between Hulk and Bruce, the clash between Hulk and a military that has to resort to some sci-fi stuff to stand a chance, the clash between Hulk and a mammoth supervillain... I thought there was loads of potential in The Leader. They even managed to seed Captain America's super serum.
