With over 17 years of MCU productions, which do you find have the most (and least) rewatch value?

Established in 2008, the MCU has produced 37 films and, I think, 17 TV series, including the recent release of Wonder Man. There have also been a couple Special Presentations, like Werewolf by Night, and the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday special. I'm curious what your favorites, and least favorites are, this far into the franchise.

If you could only access 3 productions, from all of the MCU catelog, what would they be? Conversely, which 3 would you be happy to never sit through again?

(Please refrain from spoilers pertaining to Wonder Man)

I rewatched the OG Daredevil show like 15+ times, the most out of all the other projects.

AffectionateLimit5652026-01-28 17:39

Yes, it’s the best show to rewatch especially with the amount of content. Plus, it feels a bit distant from everything else based on it being a Netflix show.

PhortDruid2026-01-28 21:39

OG DD and Born Again have been some of the best Marvel television produced I think.

devilishgenius2026-01-28 16:38

Echo and secret war are pretty bad. Not only have i never rewatched them i have never even looked at clips from any of those episodes.

Edit. I misspoke. I meant secret invasion

zombie_singh062026-01-28 16:45

Secret war?

haydencollin2026-01-28 17:20

I think he meant secret invasion

zombie_singh062026-01-28 17:26

I was so confused for a second lol
I think another commenter also confused Invasion with wars

TheRealMJDoombreed2026-01-28 16:38

My most rewatchable is Captain America:The Winter Soldier. Least rewatchable, The Eternals.

legalskeptic2026-01-28 16:43

Eternals is definitely up there. Pre-Endgame I would definitely say that Thor: The Dark World was least rewatchable. I think Secret Invasion has to take the cake though, no way I'm ever watching that again.

zombie_singh062026-01-28 16:48

Secret Invasion? Secret Wars is not released yet

Punkmetal722026-01-28 16:53

I think if I had watched them, Eternals and Secret Invasion would be up there on my list too.

stonespiral2026-01-28 18:12

Eternals, like anything really, is worth watching once. There's some great stuff in there, some great moments and performances but at the end of the day it just didn't feel special.

Punkmetal722026-01-28 18:15

My favorite character was Black Widow. After Endgame killed her, I haven't had much desire to watch past that too much. I will eventually see it, but my heart hasn't been in it. Don't get me wrong, I love Yelena too, but it's not the same.

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 18:27

This is one I've personally been recommending to everyone recently. I know it's mostly irrelevant to current MCU, but it was a pretty big swing. I thought nothing of it the first time around, but upon recent rewatch I found it had several positives and aged better than alot of other content.

TheRealMJDoombreed2026-01-28 17:10

Can't rewatch Secret Invasion because I never started. The advertising never grabbed my attention.

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 17:31

By now I'm sure you've heard all there was to hear. You didn't miss much.

No_Recording16252026-01-28 16:40

least rewatchable : THE ETERNALS

most rewatchable : INFINITY WAR

phred_6662026-01-28 16:49

Most rewatchable: *Captain America: The Winter Soldier*

Least rewatchable: *Secret Invasion* (WTF were they thinking?)

Nem_Enforcer2026-01-28 17:32

100% agree with both picks.

Corgi_Koala2026-01-28 21:35

Secret Invasion is the only answer for least rewatchable.

fappingcricket2026-01-28 22:06

That ending.... geezus

CommunityDragon1842026-01-28 17:44

I still think it was a good show for a few episodes. It’s really the last 2 episodes that ruined it by sucking so so so so much

phred_6662026-01-28 18:12

I think there were issues even starting with the first episode. The biggest issue is they had one show runner oversee the original shooting. They brought a different one in to do the reshoots and they basically rewrote half the episodes. The director was basically forced to cobble together a story based on two radically different visions.

Themperia2026-01-28 23:51

The whole highway fight scene and especially the dagger spin combo from Bucky is chef's kiss.

phred_6662026-01-29 05:33

Don’t forget “ Before we begin… does anybody want to get out?”

-Mez-2026-01-28 16:49

If I could only watch 3 repeatedly:

* Spider-Man Homecoming
* Infinity War
* Doctor Strange

\[Honorary Mentions that are fairly interchangeable with the above 3: Guardians of the Galaxy 1, Iron Man 1, Captain America Winter Soldier, Daredevil, and Avengers 1\]

Spider-Man and Doctor Strange are my top two favorite heroes in general. And these two movies are great watches on their own. Spider-Man does require some Civil War and Avengers 1 context, but overall Vulture as a villain holds his own and the interactions between Pete and Toomes still hold up very well. Strange is just a great solo hero intro with fun visuals and a good ending. Infinity War is a great Thanos story and gets a wide variety of cast interactions that I enjoy watching it on its own even if I don't immediately follow up with Endgame.

If I had to pick 3 I could never watch again:

* Secret Invasion
* Antman Quantumania
* Thor Love and Thunder

Its the low hanging fruit, I know, but I'm just cutting out the ones I enjoyed the least. \[(Dis)honorary mentions - Echo, Black Widow, Eternals, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Captain America Brave New World\]

A lot of these aren't terrible but they were boring, disappointing, or uninteresting enough that I have no interest to rewatch. Secret Invasion is the only one I'd say I avoid because its actually terrible.

Available_Fox_51222026-01-28 17:05

Ant-man Quantumania was sooo hard to get through I was so sad because I wanted to see more from Scott and his family as I am a huge fan of his character. I also never found out why they changed the daughter's actor.

-Mez-2026-01-28 17:18

It is a huge bummer. I've never been much of a comics Antman fan but I really enjoy Paul Rudd's Antman. As a father of two daughters his family interactions really resonated with me. Especially seeing him playing and making up games with his daughter in 2. The complete disconnect from 2 to 3,the loss of consistency in his daughter's character, and the hard shift in focus of the trilogy is really disappointing.

Available_Fox_51222026-01-28 17:23

I agree but from a daughter's pov it reminds me of me and my dad so I was kind of disappointed on how it was portrayed as well.

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 17:37

I love the Ant-Man film on a personal level, I'm a sucker for dad-struggle movies. Abby Ryder Fortson (Cassie) brought so much charm to the film.

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 17:12

Excellent choices. I know it's practically impossible to reduced the selection down to 3. It's interesting that those 3 came out within a year of each other. That really was high tide for the MCU.

As far as your bottom selection, I'm guessing this thread is going to have those listed on repeat.

-Mez-2026-01-28 17:22

It was a really great period for the franchise for sure. It hit at the right time for me too as I was just finishing college and had enough time to go to day of releases. I'll always have fond memories of seeing some of these great movies with friends in the theater. Nowadays not so much anymore as personal life just takes up more time, but since the MCU has dipped a bit anyway I don't really mind waiting til streaming now. Hopefully we get back there in quality in the next few years.

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 17:38

Looking forward to it!

Punkmetal722026-01-28 16:51

I stopped watching most of the multiverse saga so I preface with that. Avengers and Winter Soldier are my go-to favorites. Iron man 2 and Black Widow I enjoy, as well as WandaVision and Hawkeye. Thor The Dark world doesn't have much rewatch value to me.

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 17:48

Man, Dark World was getting it bad for some time back then 😆 They really needed something else to come take that title. Marvel was on a good run.

Swing-Full2026-01-28 16:54

Most: Captain America Civil War

Least: Secret Invasion - what a mess at every level. I'm not surprised The Marvels completely ignored it

dwide_k_shrude2026-01-28 17:16

Idk. Inhumans is the least rewatchable in my opinion. They literally cut Medusa’s hair.

kerblamophobe2026-01-28 18:03

Not MCU though

pje11282026-01-28 18:37

Not Marvel Studios, but it was made with the intention of being set in the MCU and never been contradicted. They even kept the casting of Black Bolt in Doctor Strange, albeit a multiverse version.

Of all the Marvel Television shows, this one would be the least surprising to me if they retconned it out of continuity given that nobody really liked it, but as of now, it's still canon.

Yoshi13582026-01-28 20:45

I remember it being a meme when it came out that Inhumans was so bad people just pretended like it wasn't canon altogether, independently of the Marvel Studios vs Marvel Television debate. Think that's what they're referencing.

Tim02812026-01-28 19:56

To be fair, her hair was cut in one of the Paul Jenkins series that served as inspiration for the series. (This is one of the few things I can say about the series to be fair to it!)

JBTriple2026-01-28 18:10

I gotta disagree on that one. Secret Invasion is at least carried by the performances of Jackson and Mendelsohn.

What If season 3 on the other hand completely fumbles the premise of the series at every turn and only delivers a single worthwhile episode.

Consistent-Annual2682026-01-28 19:31

>Most: Captain America Civil War

No joke, I lost count of how many rewatches I'd done once I breezed past 20.

Possible-Rate-38332026-01-28 19:38

I always said that making Secret Invasion a tv show was a Bad idea from the Start. If it was like a prelude to a parte Secret Invasion movie then I would have accepted more (with better writing) but IMO it should have been an Avengers movie instead of this.

Wirezat2026-01-28 19:44

What show? That doesn't exist

wararyuu2026-01-28 20:42

Just watched Civil War this past weekend!

Remote-Moon2026-01-28 20:48

I couldn't finish Secert Invasion so I don't count it.

haze252026-01-28 21:04

I literally forget Secret Invasion exists. Like, I haven't even seen it because I KEEP FORGETTING about it.

rage-quit2026-01-29 04:31

My brother in Christ, I forget that it exists and I've actually fuckin seen it all.

Wormwolf-Prime2026-01-28 21:44

I love pretty much all Marvel output on at least some level. Secret Invasion I have yet to finish after a few attempts. It's just not enjoyable, and worse, boring.

AsteroidMike2026-01-28 21:51

Funny you say that because I can think of no less than 14 different projects I’d happily rewatch over and over again, but Secret Invasion will always be my top choice for least rewatchable. That, and Inhumans.

james_changas2026-01-28 22:24

Winter Soldier for me. And agree on secret invasion

winterwarzzz2026-01-29 09:34

Everytime I rewatch, it solidifies itself as the best entry.

spidedd2026-01-28 22:27

Based. My picks exactly. I barely did 1 watch of Secret Invasion ain't no world I'm seeing it a second time.

Civil War is just so perfectly done for what i personally want in a comic book movie. The fight scenes are still unmatched

SneakyToaster172026-01-29 04:38

Imagine the DP from the best X-men movies working with the Civil War directors to do a movie where Dr Doom enters the MCU to cause a long sequence of fights that leads to virtually every living characters demise or servitude… wouldn’t that be nice?

museman2026-01-28 23:44

How is there almost no mention of the original Avengers movie? Civil War is great, but it’s long - Avengers is a perfect length, perfectly paced fun ride and you can pick it up almost anywhere.

Patient-Tap-67532026-01-29 07:49

As someone who saw civil war 3 times in theatres, I agree it has the most rewatch potential

Iamjaykrishnan2026-01-28 16:54

Most- Infinity War

Least- Black Widow

Spino19052026-01-28 16:56

Most rewatchable: Infinity War and Age of Ultron and Thor Ragnarok

Least rewatchable: Eternals or Thor Love and Thunder

BenYankee2026-01-28 16:56

I'm doing movies-only for this since some of the D+ shows were just utter garbage.

least rewatchable: Quantumania

most rewatchable: GotG 2

Three (others) to keep: Winter Soldier, Ragnarok, Black Panther 1 (with an honorable mention for Thunderbolts\*)

Three (others) to never watch again: Dark World, Love & Thunder, Brave New World

Available_Fox_51222026-01-28 17:07

They did not do Sam justice with his new movie. I loved his character development in FATWS it sucks they gave him such a bust of a movie.

BenYankee2026-01-28 17:09

I love Sam and his character over the years. The movie they wrote him was a complete stinker.

davidfdm-at-work2026-01-28 17:00

This is a hot take but my most rewatched is Age of Ultron. I think what draws me to it is how much it sets up the rest of the saga. Wanda, Pietro, Klawe, Vision, elements of Ragnarok . . . it’s an impressive accomplishment to cram so much into a movie. Joss Whedon has his issues certainly but you can tell he knows his comics material.

Least rewatched is harder. I try not to rewatch many things as there is so much new creative work to see.

fireballx7772026-01-28 20:48

Age of Ultron is not my most rewatched, but it's my "Most Improved on Rewatch," especially in retrospect after seeing more of what came later, because of what you said. I remember feeling pretty tepid towards AoU on first watch, but rewatching it after having finished the Infinity Saga made me appreciate it a lot more.

Cube2D2026-01-28 21:37

I really like Age of Ultron. Really my only flaw is that Ultron should have been in multiple movies. One movie isn't enough for how dangerous he actually was. He could've been a good distraction from Thanos, and I'd love it if he somehow returned 😁

By no means am I saying this is what should've been, but it's just an example. We could've had iron man 3 deal with creating Ultron from the PTSD. It would've been a killer solo movie plot. AOU makes no sense after iron man 3 where he blew up all his suits, pushed his arrogance aside, only for him to overestimate his abilities and make... Evil Drones? They just made him look so stupid. The one bad thing I have to say about the MCU is that when a director takes over from another director, they often undo a lot of the character development.

Ultron_Sentry_092026-01-29 01:16

I had strings but now I’m free…

nspntrash2026-01-29 02:01

YES. i love age of ultron and lots of people i know absolutely hate it. ultron was an amazing villain who had soooo much potential for more movies, but its kinda bittersweet. so many easter eggs.

wheremyturtles2026-01-29 04:31

AoU doesn’t quite hit the level of Avengers or Winter Soldier for me, but I do like it a lot. It has great action and gives all of the characters plenty to do. As others have mentioned, it sets up A LOT of what would follow. My two biggest gripes are killing off Quicksilver and the dumb moving lips on Ultron (who I’m sure will be back at some point).

WooSaw822026-01-29 06:09

Love A o U. I always thought it was interesting how quirky that movie was with all the goofy little sounds made by the characters, and how fun they made it. Obviously, most MCU movies are a blast to watch, but AoU had a bit different tone to it(not to confuse that tone with the tone of Thor Love of Thunder. That was enjoyable, but it was really all over the place, and had soooo much potential.

aldorn2026-01-29 13:24

Agree

McFartFace092026-01-28 17:00

Man this just made me realize we’re nearing 10 years since Infinity War

I remember a lot of the marketing surrounding that movie really propped up the fact that the MCU was turning 10. I can’t believe we’re almost a decade later

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 17:15

I was also here double triple checking my math, while making the post. I kept thinking "didn't they just have the '10 year' Marvel intro not that long ago...."

"Not that long ago" 😩😆

delulumans2026-01-28 23:15

"There was an idea" broke all hell loose in Europe

raisingcuban2026-01-29 04:12

> we’re nearing 10 years since Infinity War

It hasn’t even been 8 years..

Standard-Win-66002026-01-29 04:35

Almost 8 is almost 10

Rusty-Crowe2026-01-29 14:18

Almost 10 means we're nearing 20 years!

dj001202026-01-28 17:08

Most rewatchable - no particular order, Iron-Man, Infinity War, Captain America Winter Soldier, Black Panther, Any of the Spider-Mans, Ragnarok

Least Watchable - No Particular Order. Thor Love & Thunder, Quantumanium, Black Panther 2

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 17:41

All great choices. I think these comments are reminding a lot of people that Quantumania even existed hahaha

If you had to boil your list down to 3, what would you say?

Responsible_Egg75192026-01-28 17:08

Most (could never get bored): Thunderbolts, Infinity War, Guardians of the Galaxy

Least (one and dones for me): Quantumania, Love and Thunder, Multiverse of Madness

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 17:19

Big kudos for actually being to reduce it down to a list of three. I know it's a near impossible task, but you actually did it. 🫡

Now, MoM is a title I was not expecting to see on anybody's "least" list but there 100% are no wrong answers. Thank you for your contribution.

Responsible_Egg75192026-01-28 17:26

Thanks!

I think MoM has a lot of well done technical aspects (unlike the other movies I listed), but the tacked on, contrived Illuminati scene and everything about how Wanda was written really drags it down for me. Not a fan of the America Chavez McGuffin plot either

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 17:45

Cinematographically (it's really a word, I checked) MoM had a good bit of flair in tow. It didn't have that cookie cutter feel, and the monsters were a fun addition, but there were a few elements weighing it down, for sure

akaynaveed2026-01-28 17:09

Most reward value: Avengers: Civil War, Dr Strange, Jessica Jones (if I had to pick one season season 1)

Least rewatch value: secret invasion, moon knight, hulk

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 17:22

JJ is an interesting choice. Purple Man, what a fiend.

Are you referring to The Incredible Hulk (2008)?

akaynaveed2026-01-28 17:40

Most reward value: Avengers: Civil War, Dr Strange, Jessica Jones (if I had to pick one season season 1)

Least rewatch value: secret invasion, moon knight, hulk.

Yea which ever one had liv Tyler

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 18:00

Fair enough!

TheMasterHaroldSaxon2026-01-28 17:10

Most re watchable:

First Avenger
The winter soldier
Avengers 1-4
Ant Man 1 and 2
Thor Ragnarok
Guardians 1 and 2
Civil War
Thunderbolts
First Steps
Deadpool and Wolverine
Wandavision

Least rewatchable
Guardians 3 (too emotional)
Eternals
The Dark World
Secret Invasion

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 17:24

These are some good choices. There's no wrong answers here, whatsoever. But if you had to boil it down to a list of 3, what would you say?

HappycatAF2026-01-28 17:10

Most is the Guardians trilogy. Good humor, visual effects and above average action scenes. Most of all is the music, it’s the best trilogy to just play in the background. I’ put it at vol 3, 1 then 2, although 2 I’d argue has the best music scenes, The Mr Blue Sky scene and flying through Ego’s planet are always watchable.

Kill: Brave New World, The Marvels and Secret Invasion

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 17:27

Damn solid trilogy, there. I truly believe it deserves to be spoken about amongst the all-time greats.

And thank you for your breakdown, I know it's practically impossible with there being so many releases, at this point.

Impossible-Olive95742026-01-28 17:11

Most watchable Winter Solider Thor Ragnarok Infinity way

Least rewatchable whatever secret invasion was

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 17:29

Top tier choices!

Except for you Secret Invasion. Yuck

Farenhytee2026-01-29 10:49

This is the infinity way

Ok-disaster20222026-01-28 17:14

Most rewatchable: the first iron man, and the first Guardians.

OhLookAWhiteGuy2026-01-28 17:15

Most rewatchable: Guardians of The Galaxy.

Least rewatchable: Thor: The Dark World

darthyogi2026-01-28 17:16

Most rewatchable. Guardians 1-2.

Least rewatchable. Thor 1-2. (Not the worst MCU movies but i’ve only watched worse ones once.

My tastes are always changing on this. Infinity War and Endgame used to be most rewatchable and i think Guardians will change at some point.

If i could only watch three MCU productions again i would probably choose Thunderbolts, Moon Knight and GOTG 2. (Thunderbolts and Moon Knight are some of my favourite projects that i’ve only seen a few times so i would love to rewatch them a lot more times.

Three that i would be okay never watching again are Spider-Man: Far From Home, The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 2. (Only chose ones i’ve seen at least twice)

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 18:04

Not Iron Man 2 🥺 Nooooooooo

I'm part of the minority that loves IM2. But, there are no wrong answers here, and you 100% nailed the assignment. Thank you for your contribution

darthyogi2026-01-28 18:08

Iron Man 2 just had boring villains imo and the story wasn’t as good as Iron Man and 3. Glad you like it though. I’m one of the few that like Iron Man 3. Both those movies are unpopular.

No problem this was actually a really good question. It made me realise how many movies in the MCU they are and how my tastes have changed throughout the years

BigTemperature87112026-01-28 17:19

The most for me,Civil War,Homecoming,Infinity War,Hawkeye and I’m actually not sure on the least maybe Eternals although I don’t think it was THAT BAD

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 18:06

Eternals really wasn't that bad. It could have been better, for sure. But after rewatching it recently, I found it also aimed really high and had a lot going for it. I think it was ahead of its time.

Nonetheless, no wrong answers. Thank you for your input

ConnorRoseSaiyan012026-01-28 17:23

Most - Winter Soldier

Jaideco2026-01-28 17:26

Most watchable… Endgame, no question.
Aside from that Winter Soldier, Shang Chi, Thunderbolts are on my regular replay list. Loki was definitely the best series by far.

Least watchable…
Secret Invasion… This was a radioactive dumpster fire.
Other low points include Thor: Love and Thunder and Captain America: Brave New World.

Practical-Debate15982026-01-28 20:43

Bnw was not even bad lol

Low_Interview_57692026-01-28 21:01

It was nothing. Genuinely cant remember a scene, left zero impact on me

chaoticbadgood2026-01-29 02:34

Sounds like you need to rewatch it to job your memory

evapotranspire2026-01-28 21:06

I agree BNW was not bad. I enjoyed it a fair bit. Not in my top half of Marvel movies, but not near the bottom either. Love and Thunder, on the other hand, I wouldn't rewatch if you paid me.

Jaideco2026-01-29 00:06

I’m with you on Love and Thunder. If Taita Waitiki wanted to make a kids fairytale, Marvel should have let him do it as a Disney+ holiday special. Letting him waste Thor, Gorr and Jane Foster’s return was a travesty.

Jaideco2026-01-29 00:02

Not bad? I respect that you have a different opinion, but we aren’t going to agree on this. I thought that it was a hot mess. It was like a frankenfilm of three or four different visions that were sewn together by someone on meth.

Somewhere in the development process, they had a half decent Hulk movie, a half decent Falcon movie, a half decent Captain America movie and a half decent callback to Eternals and then they just blended random pieces together and hoped for the best. Everyone in this film deserved better.

The_Celtic_Chemist2026-01-28 21:40

I would have to disagree that Endgame is the most rewatchable, not because it has lost any value since its release (in fact it might have gained some) or because it isn't top tier in the MCU, but instead because it's hard for most people to casually put on a 3 hour movie. I have probably only seen it twice, though I've watched certain scenes multiple times.

Ok_Average_34712026-01-28 23:06

Haha I agree except I actually love to watch infinity war and endgame like one super duper long movie lol, it's not any worse then binging one of the series.

Jaideco2026-01-29 00:08

I have to admit that I’ve seen in two New Years with an Infinity War/Endgame double bill with the portals scene timed for Midnight on the dot. It’s still special.

Jaideco2026-01-28 23:51

It really depends on your definition of “watchable”. For me, Endgame is still magic. I’d guess that I’ve watched it at least twenty times and that might easily be an understatement. Every time we have the portals scene, I still get goosebumps.

If we are talking about easy to watch when you are only half paying attention… I’m probably going with GotG, Shang-Chi, Marvels or Thunderbolts because those films just feel like you are hanging out with cool friends.

jereezy2026-01-29 04:54

> it's hard for most people to casually put on a 3 hour movie

The Extended Edition Lord of the Rings laughs at this statement...

ubutterscotchpine2026-01-28 17:32

Depends, is this personal rewatch value or general overall? Because personally, I think Black Widow is my recent rewatch favorite.

But overall, it has to be the four Avengers movies and Civil War.

And obviously least is Secret Invasion cmon.

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 18:08

No wrong answers. It was entirely up to interpretation. But I would ask, if you had to reduce down to 3 overall, what would you say?

ManiacallyReddit2026-01-28 17:38

Most:

Endgame (I know it's full of fan-service, but I love watching them win),

Thor: Ragnarok (Despite L&T's travesty, I will never not find this chapter entertaining)

Least:

Eternals (I can't imagine getting to a point where I can watch it without shouting things at the screen)

Love and Thunder (I loved the opening, but almost didn't make it to the end of the movie)

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 18:14

I appreciate your input. Have you rewatched Eternals? I don't think I gave it a fair shake the first time around and hadn't up until recently, and I can't deny, it kinda earned my respect.

ManiacallyReddit2026-01-28 18:16

I think if I could watch with the mindset of "it's a Marvel movie that doesn't need to slot perfectly into the MCU" I would like it better. But it was one of the first post-Endgame projects I watched and separating it from that whole saga is difficult. And IMO - it just doesn't fit well.

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 18:30

Fair take

pokemonke2026-01-28 21:32

I feel like Marvel was trying to branch out to avoid what happened with Star Wars where everything became tied to the Skywalker saga even though they have this brilliant vibrant universe to explore. I liked Eternals because I’m into movies more than I’m into Marvel but I can also see why you’d have a hard time with it coming from other Marvel fare

farva_062026-01-29 15:27

Really wish they kept the reigns tight on Waititi for L&T. I think when he has some ground rules to work from, he can be brilliant. But if you just let him run wild, he's gonna do some wacky shit that doesn't always translate well in the movie. Example being the screaming goats. Was slightly funny the first time, but wore thin real quick.

Sylar_Lives2026-01-28 17:40

* Civil War
* Avengers
* Ant-Man and the Wasp
* Infinity War
* No Way Home
* Multiverse of Madness (unironically love this movie)
* Deadpool and Wolverine

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 18:15

If you had to pick just three, what would you say?

Sylar_Lives2026-01-28 18:16

The bottom three have gotten the most attention in the last year

CommunityDragon1842026-01-28 17:43

I have lost count of how many times I have rewatched iron man 1, guardians 1, Thor ragnorok and infinity war

ConversationBest20852026-01-29 01:36

I agree with Guardians and Ragnorok! The humor will always bring me back

zilla1352026-01-28 17:45

I used to watch Ragnarok very regularly. It was the perfect mix of action, humor and high stakes and it's always a treat to rewatch.

I can't say if I'll ever try to watch Eternals again, just didn't keep me entertained.

Corgi_Koala2026-01-28 21:36

Ragnarok also works really damn well as a standalone movie. Obviously it's better if you're up to speed on everything but the movie stands well on its own since the setting and characters are largely new.

It's probably a top 5 Marvel movie for me.

Sickpup8312026-01-28 22:38

The scene where Thor and Bruce go to Valkyrie’s apartment is just gold. The Revengers, Bruce’s “I’m undecided”

tenehemia2026-01-28 23:14

"And we're going to need one with cup holders because we're going to die so: drinks!"

NothingReallyAndYou2026-01-29 05:15

Thor's little story about Loki turning himself into a snake makes m snorty-laugh every time. The energy in that scene is ridiculously fun.

Ok_Average_34712026-01-28 23:08

Ya for me Ragnorak and Guardians of the Galaxy are my favorite more stand alone movies. Endgame would probably seem insane without infinity war and a few others at least.

MadStorkMSU2026-01-29 00:45

Ragnarok is just so much fun. I remember leaving the theater with my wife and just grinning like an idiot. The only other MCU film that made me feel that way was The Avengers.

International-Sky652026-01-29 01:24

Eternals is only rewatchable due to the technical aspects and direction, not the story or acting.

pedroktp2026-01-28 17:47

Im sure that my most rewatched is doctor strange, ive only seen quantumania once

sister_madly2026-01-28 17:47

First Guardians , Ragnarok and Agatha all along

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 18:48

Ooooh nice to see Agatha made someone's list. Kathryn Hanh is a peach.

amumumyspiritanimal2026-01-28 23:18

Heavy on AAA. Crazy how they made the best MCU series on a low budget. Incredible set design and costumes, the ensemble cast had crazy chemistry, great plot (aside from one or two things I’d change), and an all timer performance from Kathryn Hahn. Its only issue was that it wasn’t long enough. If they had a 12-15 episode long season, it would’ve been the crowning achievement of the MCU. I would’ve loved more witchcraft lore and shenanigans, the Salem Seven having more exposition, and getting backstories on the coven.

kobrakai_19862026-01-28 17:48

Most: Infinity War
Least: Thor L&T

cowpool202026-01-28 17:50

Most rewatchable: Spider-Man Homecoming. I think it’s just an easy, fun and enjoyable movie from start to finish.

Least: Black Panther 2. I just found it to be boring and too long.

Kimutai_nare2026-01-28 17:50

That’s such a great question! The MCU has certainly had a *huge* impact on pop culture, and it’s crazy to think about how much content they’ve put out. If I had to pick just three from the entire catalog, I’d go with:

**1. Avengers: Endgame** – This is the ultimate culmination of everything that came before. The stakes, the character arcs, the action—it’s one of the most satisfying blockbusters ever made.
**2. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse** (though technically not MCU, it feels like it fits!) – Visually stunning, emotionally packed, and a fresh take on the Spider-Man mythos. One of the most creative and impactful superhero movies.
**3. The Winter Soldier** – This movie completely changed the tone of the MCU and elevated the stakes for Cap. It’s also a fantastic political thriller that holds up even outside of the superhero genre.

As for the three I’d be okay never watching again:

**1. Thor: The Dark World** – Just didn’t click for me. It felt like the plot was dragged along by basic tropes, and the villain was forgettable. Honestly, I don’t think it added much to the overall MCU.
**2. Iron Man 3** – The twist with the Mandarin really rubbed me the wrong way. The tone felt all over the place, and it didn’t feel like the solid follow-up I wanted after *The Avengers*.
**3. Eternals** – This one was ambitious, but it felt more like an art film than a typical MCU entry. I didn’t connect with the characters as much as I expected, and it was just a bit too slow for my taste.

It’s crazy how much the MCU has evolved, and while some of the earlier entries are a bit rough around the edges, I think they've only gotten better in terms of character development and storytelling.

I really wanted to rewatch Hawkeye during the Christmas season, but I never got around to it. I'll get around to it eventually.

I'm not really a lover of mantle-passing, (just kind of a 'me' thing) but I really am hoping we don't just abandon the character of Kyet Beeshop.

Scary-Command22322026-01-28 17:58

Only 3. So most watched netflix era Daredevil, so many times, all 39 episodes. Films toss up between winter soldier and back to back infinity war/EG.

I'll never watch SI again, tried and stopped rewatching eternals and thor 4.

rodroidrx2026-01-28 18:14

Black Panther - most rewatch

Secret Invasion - least rewatch

LordoftheUmpaLumpas2026-01-28 18:22

The worst:

Ironheart, Ms.Marvel, The Marvels, Agents of Shield, Marvel's Inhumans, She-Hulk, Ironfist, Luke Cage, Defenders, Helstrom, Cloak & Dagger, Runaways and Echo.

Ironheart and Ms.Marvel are both a disaster...I still don't know what happened there.

CubsFanCraig2026-01-28 18:23

Most: Endgame. I probably watch it once a month. It goes by so fast and it’s great to turn on when I’m cleaning or folding clothes. It’s also comfort watching.

Second would be Guardians of the Galaxy…1? Maybe 2? Or 3? There is so much growth among all the characters from one movie to the next and I love that aspect so much. By Vol. 3 everyone has grown and matured and accepted the curve balls that life can throw your way.

Third is tough…I mean, Winter Soldier rules but it’s also so intense. I have a soft spot for Ant-Man and the Wasp because Scott is the best dad and it has Walton Goggins in it (can we PLEASE get Goggins and Sam Rockwell back in an MCU movie again for Christs sake? Preferably as a villain team up? And I love Civil War, but I think I’d go with Spider-Man Homecoming. It’s such a great love letter to John Hughes movies, it’s the best live action Peter Parker and Spidey, Michael Keaton rules, “The talk” is one of the best and most chilling MCU scenes ever, and it’s wonderful watching Peter grow into this role.

The three I’d avoid are Thor Love and Thunder because of how disappointing it was coming off of Ragnarok which could have easily made the rewatch list. It’s also just so…not good. It fails on many levels. Low hanging fruit would be the Eternals, so instead I’ll say Iron Man 2 because it feels longer than Endgame and it’s actually pretty short. Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. For a movie with multiverse in the title we sure didn’t get a lot of that, Cumberbatch’s wig took me out of every scene, and I can’t get over the complete randomness of introducing Charlize Theron as a character barely anyone knows, which is the reoccurring theme of the last couple phases.

Closure20002026-01-28 18:23

Most rewatchable - Endgame, Civil War, Avengers 1

MajorVersion2026-01-28 18:33

Daredevil, the OG show is the most rewatchable for me.

I am more a show person than a movie person, I watched most of the movies just once. On the contrary, many of the shows I watched them more than once, particularly those of the old Marvel TV. DD is top in the count, miles ahead of the second, I must have watched it 12 times when it was in Netflix, and once a year since it is in Disney+. The whole 47 episodes, without even skipping the intro.

The least I'd say is Secret Invasion, I havven't even watched it complete.

Admirable_Drawing_412026-01-28 18:35

Most rewatchable : Civil War of course
Least: Ms Marvel, Secret Invasion, Ironheart.....what a waste of time and resources.

N8CCRG2026-01-28 18:36

I usually find most of the MCU highly rewatchable. But Deadpool & Wolverine has become unrewatchable for me after only three watches. Once you know all of the cameos and fan service surprises, there's so very little else to it. And meanwhile all of that nostalgia pandering is just so plodding and painful. Cassandra is the one remaining bright spot, but there's not enough of her.

pumpkin_esco_bar282026-01-28 18:43

Thor: Ragnarok

theunusualblackguy2026-01-28 18:44

most: homecoming or winter soldier

least: ant man 3

BaronZhiro2026-01-28 18:46

First I’ll preface that I’ve watched the 4th season of *Agents of SHIELD* at least twenty times. There’s probably never been a finer season of adventure television.

But as for more centrally MCU things, my go-to’s are *Ragnarok* and *Infinity War*. (And after those, NWH and MoM.)

Someday in a hazy future, I’ll force myself to watch *Quantumania* or L&T again, but I’m sure not looking forward to them.

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 20:15

Me, trying to look past L&T

Br4nd1n2026-01-28 18:49

I tend to watch Civil War, Infinity War, Endgame, and No Way Home a couple times a year.

catiebug2026-01-28 19:02

I have watched Winter Soldier literally hundreds of time. Least rewatchable would be a tie with Secret Invasion, The Dark World, and several other things I've completely forgotten about by now.

mellorbr2026-01-28 19:02

Most rewatchable - Thor Ragnarok. Love it.
Least - Wakanda Forever. It is literal garbage.

BartleBossy2026-01-28 19:02

**Most rewatchable: Avengers 1.**

It has *no baggage*. Its just a clean comics romp and you can start to appreciate a lot of the threads you know are coming down the line.

**Best movie: CA:TWS**

Could honestly work as a standalone espionage flick. Has the best legs to stand without the backing of *the universe*.

**Worst movie: Thor4**.

I will never forgive them for how they handled Janes worthiness, the child soldiers, the deux-ex machina, the bungling of one of the MCU's best villains. This movie was hurt the most by *potential*. Talk about spiking the football.

Genmah2026-01-28 19:04

High rewatch valute:
1. Ant-Man. Yes, the firrst Ant-Man movie. Very high rewatch value and one of the better standalone MCU movies. I do like my heist movies.

2. Captain America: The First Avenger. I DO like Iron Man and what it contributed to the MCU, but Cap is my favourite OG Avengers movie.

3. Thunderbolts\*. It's just good.

Low rewatch value:

1. Secret Invasion. A big disappointment compared to what I expected it to be. They should've made it an "Avengers scale" movie instead. Big mistake to >!kill off Maria Hill!<. I mainly get annoyed when this one is mentioned.

2. Thor: The Dark World and Thor: Love and Thunder. Thor hasn't been fairly handeled in the MCU. The Dark Word is by far one of the weakest MCU entries, storwise according to me. And I did like the humour in Thor Ragnarok, Love and Thunder took the "humour" waaaaay to far. I mean, Stormbreaker being jelous of Mjölnir? That subplot was just *terribly stupid*.

3. Deadpool and Wolverine. Yep, might be a hot take. Yes, it was a glorious cameo and fan service fest. But I never cared for the actual story and Marvel hinted big promises, but it didn't deliver.

adityasheth2026-01-28 19:06

most rewatchable has got to be Agents of Shield 100%.

least rewatchable from the things i've watched is probably Ms.Marvel, show wasn't bad but not good enough for me to rewatch

ragnarok and gotg1&2 are in constant rotation for me.

agree that secret invasion isa 1 and and never done again offering.

Different_Leopard_652026-01-28 20:50

Short and sweet. Fair enough.

Personally, I'd recommend anyone who is NOT a completionist, to just go ahead and skip Secret Invasion. I honestly don't even remember if there was anything to really take away that is expected to have any bearing on upcoming material

For an answer I haven't seen yet, most rewatch value Spider-Man FFH. I just think it's a very entertaining movie

For an answer I've already seen, but is the correct answer is thor love and thunder. Imo the absolute worst movie to come out of the mcu

nudeldifudel2026-01-28 22:20

Agents of Shield is definitely the most rewatchable for me.
