Jan '21: WandaVision (...despite the end).
June '21: Loki S1
July '21: Black Widow (...just).
Nov '21: Hawkeye (...just).
Dec '21: Spider-Man: No Way Home
Mar '22: Moon Knight
May '22: Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (...totally flawed yet partially enjoyable).

Oct '23: Loki S2
July '24: Deadpool & Wolverine
Sep '24: Agatha All Along
May '25: Thunderbolts*
July '25: Fantastic 4: First Steps
-Excluded animations, which are seperate (but i like all of them).
-About as much content as Phases 1 & 2.
-Of course this alone wouldn't have produced commercial growth...
-Some of the forthcoming Phase 6 could be great despite a large degree of pessimism.

I didn’t mind the humor in Ragnorok, and while I want directors and storytellers to have creative freedom, Waititi I think had too much of it.
Im also a weirdo and I don't judge movies on much more than "was i bored or irritated watching it?" And if the answer is no, then im happy with it.

The over the top CGI battle at the end was a bit much and completely unnecessary. That said, I still very much enjoyed the movie. The great parts overshadowed some of the weak parts and I really enjoyed the MCU’s take on the 10 rings.
That being said, I wish Shang Chi ended in a more western fashion where Shang chi and Wenwu faced off against one another. Nobody dies, but Wenwu is beaten and decides Shang chi is ready to handle the responsibility of the 10 rings.
Wenwu would’ve also been a really cool side character for future projects. He’s like a thousand years old and knows the rings very well. He could’ve served as a great mentor. Tony Leung hit that role out of the park - every time he was on screen he was the highlight.
I also enjoyed the humor with Trevor also, especially the whole conversation about Planet of the Apes. I felt the humor flowed more naturally as opposed to Thor recently where it feels forced.
The end battle was over the top. I get why it was done that way but I would had preferred a more grounded final battle between Shang-Chi and Wenwu as how you described.
Shit they could’ve even cast Hiddleston as the new Kang /he who remains. He’s already played a villain part very well.
They couldn't fix the loom because it was designed to reset
They couldn't do nothing because it was designed to reset
Sylvie said they couldn't just keep it up though and keep pruning.
Mobius told him to keep the big picture in mind, most purpose is more burden than glory and you have to be able to live with the burden
Loki realized if you replaced the loom with something better, something could be done. He didn't know what to do but he knew what kind of God he wanted to be and acted.
I feel like there was an episode missing where a branch was dying and it was shown that Loki could bring it back to life. There was some progression missing that showed this Loki finally figured out how to repair and control time branches, so if he broke the loom, he could keep those branches alive.
It’s a great ending, but an ending I feel is a bit undeserved because it was never shown or hinted Loki had the ability to even do what he did at the end of season 2. I would’ve appreciated him knowing that and wrestling with breaking the loom because then he knows he is either pruning all the timelines, or he has to keep them alive himself.
This assumes they recasted Kang or just used different actors for each version of Kang. Or they could go back to the original vision of the show and Loki was He Who Remains.
Idk, I just would be interested in seeing wherever Ravonnas Story was heading and learn more about the background of the TVA/the mansion at the end of time/more about the council of Kangs. I feel like there’s so many ways the show could’ve gone and easily turned into a 4/5 season show.
Almost included Shang-Chi; i just really didn't like the ending (wanted loads of Kung Fu instead...).
DRAGONS!!!!
Loki
Guardians Vol.3
Also, the interactions with newly added (and possible New/Young Avengers) has been abysmal. Other than the “New Avengers”, we should have a cast that is a recognizable team from the younger stars.
Man what could have been with such awesome talent on the roll call :(
Edit; for clarification I not saying Shang-Chi, the movie was a flop. I am saying the flopped and dropped the ball on such an amazing character and actor not tapping into him more…
That’s not how flopping works
I adore and love that movie, and it was a box office success and well received. The flop was not utilizing him more….
Wakanda Forever and Deadpool & Wolverine are up there too tho.

Strange and Spider-man did too, but I feel like they were less successful in telling a cohesive story around the multiverse.
Kidding aside, the development and growth of Loki throughout both seasons is the biggest draw there for me.
In no order, Spiderman, Shang-Chi, GOtG, Deadpool and Wolverine, Thunderbolts and Fantastic Four were the best movies.
I enjoyed Multiverse of Madness but it was also wasted potential. Captain America was also a missed opportunity to further develop Sam. Biggest wasted potential though I felt was What If.
It managed to provide fan service cameos that still directly affect the plot and Peters character arc.
Outside of perhaps Loki, no other multiverse projects handled the actual multiverse part as well as No Way Home did
But I don't think it was an especially great movie. The plot was extremely convoluted and contrived around maximizing fan service
1) Deadpool & Wolverine
2) Spider-Man: No Way Home
3) Loki
I would include GOTG3 if we’re just talking top projects of that Phase, but even if it’s technically in the Multiverse Saga, it doesn’t get involved with it.
I’d also give a shout-out to Eternals and BP 2 because I feel like they were the most ambitious, even though they didn’t nail the execution.
Thunderbolts
Guardians of the Galaxy 3
Fantastic Four

Fantastic 4 (maybe cuz of decency bias)

Argument can be made for Guardians 3, but I don't actually rate it as high as others, and feels like it's doing it's own thing as a trilogy-closer rather than being part of the larger ongoing universe.
Werewolf by Night is also not talked about enough even though it's a one-off. Really shitty that Marvel don't seem interested in continuing on with that sorta content, and Michael Giacchino being one of the most in-demand composers in Hollywood just randomly directing something that cool as a side project boggles my mind.
I forgot about Werewolf by Night. 🤦🏻
I also just think its a tad overrated. It's a great movie, but I still don't like it as much as GOTG1, and on different days I may also like 2 more. It didn't take me by surprise like Thunderbolds did, or come across as cohesive and solid as something like Fantastic 4. There's just a few too many personal things for me like the cinematography to the way the Avengers movies kinda left it feeling a little disconnected from the first 2 movies that bump it down for me. Even the humour was starting to feel a little played out to me personally.
movie- thunderbolts
This saga fucking rips despite its huge misses
* Loki
* No Way Home
* Guardians 3

When Aunt May said THE line? That was euphoric for me. The word "MUST" just adds so much more weight to the line.
Wenwu is my new favorite villain. It's just an old man that wants his family back, and is okay with destroying everyone in the way for it.
Honorable mentions to GOTG v3 and Thunderbolts, but they both felt a little flat in the overall depth they were trying to portray for me.
This shit is so peak and hella underrated. Trust me I love Thunderbolts\* too, but that overshadowing this being just as good or arguably better imo is criminal

S-Tier: nothing! I'm sorry, just nothing for me has made the cut (unlike the Infinity Saga, where I'd put up to a dozen of them here!)
Very good: WandaVision, Hawkeye, Loki S1, Spider-Man/NWH, GotG3

2) Spider-Man: No Way Home
3) Fantastic 4: First Steps
Also, you’re missing Secret Invasion (ok fine, no one would’ve picked that, but it’s still an MCU project in the Multiverse saga), Eternals, Werewolf by Night, and Echo. There are probably more, but that’s just off the top of my head.
To answer your question: GotG Vol. 3, followed closely by Thunderbolts.
Unlike many others I’m not suffering from superhero fatigue. Just keep them coming.
For me these are the best in this saga, in no particular order:
Loki
Hawkeye
Spiderman: no way home
Dr. Strange multiverse of madness
Thunderbolts
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
Shang-Chi
Eternals
Ms. Marvel
She-Hulk attorney at law
The Marvels
Peak:\
Thunderbolts\
Loki Season 2\
Agatha All Along (the dark horse of the bunch imo)\
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3
Flawed Peak:\
WandaVision\
Shang-Chi\
Moon Knight
Enjoyable:\
I am Groot (all seasons)\
Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special
Enjoyable but nostalgia-heavy:\
Deadpool & Wolverine\
Spider-Man No Way Home
Okay/Decent:\
Hawkeye\
Werewolf by Night\
Black Panther Wakanda Forever\
Fantastic 4 First Steps
Could have been Peak, but got butchered by production and behind-the-scenes stuff:\
Echo\
Daredevil Born Again season 1
Disappointing the first time watching, far better on a rewatch with knowledge from future projects (cue Thanos "perhaps I judged you too harshly"):\
Loki Season 1\
Black Widow
Overall disappointing, but still decently enjoyable:\
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier\
Captain America Brave New World\
What If Season 1\
Eternals
Just disappointing (has some good stuff sometimes, but otherwise mostly very flawed):\
Thor Love and Thunder\
Dr Strange Multiverse of Madness\
What If Season 2
Very disappointing (nearly irredeemably so imo):\
Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania\
The Marvels\
What If Season 3\
Secret Invasion
Not For Us (couldn't get through the first episode before collectively wanting to watch something else, and ended up watching recap vids of them just to stay informed for future projects):\
Ms Marvel\
She-Hulk
Haven't Watched Yet:\
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man\
Ironheart\
Eyes of Wakanda\
Marvel Zombies
Edited for clarity
Does FF4 count?
But it's probably the least "multi-verse" of them all.
It's always a question of stakes being low once multi-verses exist.
Loki and Wandavision on the series

I wish we had more multiverse movies/shows for the Multiverse Saga.
