4 MCU films that should be registered in the National Library Of Congress

I know Iron Man was the first, but I think these 4 films would fit perfectly

1. Captain America: The Winter Soldier

2. Black Panther

3. The Avengers

4. A tie between Infinity War/Endgame

Trying so hard to look past my personaly bias here but... LITERALLY HOW do you put Ragnarok above Iron Man, Black Panther, Avengers 1...?!

wealthedge2025-10-31 08:33

How do you NOT?!? After 2 meh-to-meh+ installments for one of my all time favorite comic characters with a once in a generation actor, all the money you could ever need and the backdrop of a growing and increasingly amazing film universe, and its make or break or the whole house of cards is gonna come crumbling down, and you get some cuckoo bananas kiwi director known for a pretty funny TV show about vampires, and it CRUSHES THE UNIVERSE?!? And we get Immigrant Song over the Act 3 turn to complete the narrative arc for the character?!? Broooooo. There were many times I was literally on my feet watching a fresh MCU film in the theaters, but Ragnarok was literally the only time I had to apologize to the little kids around me for shouting obscenities at the screen. Portals scene got close but nothing can top the Battle of the Bifrost.

I know it's popular, and I totally get that my personally hatred for it is not the norm, but having good music and a cool scene is not topping the cultural relevance of BP, pr the way IM started it all, or the way A1 brought everything together in ways no one could see!

wealthedge2025-10-31 19:00

No I get it. And Avengers 1 and Iron Man 1 are all timers for me. But if you can’t get on board with Ragnarok, you’re missing out of a good 20% of what made the MCU work so well.

As far as Black Panther, yes the cultural relevance is unique, and Chadwick absolutely slaughtered, but that movie is rough. The CG is flat awful. Just a swing and a miss. If it wasn’t for the all-black movie poster and our black brothers and sisters getting a superhero movie of their own, we’d have a different opinion about it.

Fair enough as far as BP goes, I suppose. And like I said, I know my hate for Thor 3 is not the norm, but I really do just absolutely despise it. I do know it's beloved by many tho - and over the years, (thanks to more than a few arguments) I have come to see that there are positives to it lol

That whole scene right before he fully awakens and starts wrecking shit over Immigrant Song. My oldest son was talking about feeling like he had some imposter syndrome and I pulled up that scene and sent it to him.

“Asgard is not a place, never was. This could be Asgard. It’s where our people stand. And now, right now, those people need your help.”

“I’m not as strong as you…”

“No. You’re stronger.”

Oooohhhhh shit here’s comes the storm!!!!!

Spy Kid was registered last year so why not.
Although, Black Panther and IW/EG are not eligible yet. Film has to be 10 years old.

AlmightyLoaf542025-10-30 04:02

Hey we got 3 more years though!

KMFDM__SUCKS2025-10-30 04:05

..Why didn't you just say 5 then?

dufftheduff2025-10-30 04:09

This is tricky because I would say more than 4 are more than deserved to be added. But, for the sake of the hypothetical: Purely for historical significance, I’d go:

- Iron Man
- The Avengers
- Black Panther
- Infinity War

I’d add more, I’d try to combine IW and EG into one, or I’d switch out BP cause it’s not in my personal top rankings, but you can’t deny it’s cultural significance or much of the others. These 4 make the most sense to me if we’re thinking film by film and it’s appropriate significance

Cap : TWS • GotG Vol. 1 • BP • Infinity War

I thought *every* published work got registered at the Library of Congress?

theknyte2025-10-30 17:28

The National Film Registry (NFR) of The Library of Congress, is the United States National Film Preservation Board's (NFPB) collection of films selected for preservation, each selected for its cultural, historical, and aesthetic contributions since the NFPB's inception in 1988.

The NFPB adds to the NFR up to 25 "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant films" each year in December, showcasing the range and diversity of American film heritage to increase awareness for its preservation. A film becomes eligible for inclusion ten years after its original release.

CaptHayfever2025-10-30 18:13

Ohhhh, ok, the film registry. Thank you!

Algae_Mission2025-10-31 23:31

I think Avengers, Black Panther, and Guardians of the Galaxy would be my picks for the next films to enter the National Film Registry as far Marvel is concerned, in due time. Some aren’t eligible yet.

Zar-Djoser-00112025-11-01 02:23

The Avengers, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (seriously, the first one is a break-point on how we embraced more silly/absurd concepts from comic-books/any material), Black Panther and Infinity War/Endgame.

urfatfatfat2025-11-01 19:23

Spiderman (Tobey Maguire)

X-Men (the first one)

Captain America Winter Soldier
Deadpool 2

and/or Avengers (first one), Guardians (first one)

I love Captain America: TWS but it can’t be in this list if Iron Man isn’t. Iron Man is what started it all so you have to have it. Black Panther has to be there for the cultural significance of the first Black hero in the universe. The Avengers and IW/Endgame (I count them as one, sue me) have to be there because they were both the first superhero movies of their magnitude

AlmightyLoaf542025-11-02 02:18

No Iron Man is already in the Library of Congress, I’m talking about the ones that haven’t been there

After-Dog-65932025-11-02 02:19

Yeah I just can’t read apparently because you clearly do say that. I think Captain America is a good one. Another good one could be Guardians 1 but those are really the only other ones
