well, you said it for me , but i would not say bleh so much as meh. look, i like cap1 and IM3. i even paid to see them in the theater. but GotG and the new trailer are just so fucking fun and entertaining they made those other films i listed look horribly inferior. BTW the order you had is mostly correct. Cap2 is easily my favorite of all the MCU films. i am practically addicted to that movie. seen it so many times and i still have to watch it whenver its on cable. GotG is very close second, but for different reasons. Cap2 is like almost 100% showdown battles and black widow is so crazy hot in it.

Gotta add in Ant-Man which I was fully expecting not to like going in.

oh yeah Ant Man was alright, but its kind of an odd duck, it doesnt feel like an MCU film which i assume is by design from Edgar Wright's vision. the Ant-man v Hawkdude fight was tacked on and and out of place.

Yea i view Ant Man the same as Cap 1. I was surprised at the casting of Rudd, but after watching AntMan, he's the only person that could make one of the most dumbest Avenger fun. Same w/ Cap 1, I was entirely sure it was gonna be the corniest movie made, i mean it's Capt Fuckin America, you can't make him cool on screen, nope they pull it off.
They made their respective characters great, for future movies.

I feel like I need some clarification, because "shit" is being used as a descriptor. I think perhaps you mean "worse than the other listed/favorite MCU movies?" Because MCU's very worst doesnt really count as bad, just average. IMO of course.

i go by rewatch-ability and if i felt satisfied after watching it. thor 1 and 2 i watched once and decided i will never bother with his dumb ass again. ed norton MCU hulk, i saw once in the movies and never wanted to see it again. IM2 was utter shit. saw it one time. fucking hated it. Avengers2, hmm ok it wasnt complete shit, but i was very disappointed with the end half of the movie. it felt like they had great ideas on how to kick everything off but once it got rolling they didnt think through a good way to end it.
i have seen the first half of avengers2 many times , but only have seen it til the end once. i shut it off when sedonia gets lifted int the sky

Never figured out why people rant against IM2, I've always liked that one and find it rewatchable.

Honestly the only one I've never re-watched AND have no desire to re-watch is Norton Hulk. But that only barely qualifies as MCU, just because it had a post credits scene that tied into another movie.
Also Ruffalo >>>> Norton as Banner. Somewhat meek and psychologically tortured is a WAY better portrayal than Norton's angsty Banner.

Oh, and I get your (and many people's) complaints about the Thor arm. Each one has its own genre and/or realm, and I don't know that the Thor one resonates as well with most of these boards. That said, I personally enjoy them, and I expect 3 to nail it out of the park.

I think the point was, if you are using the term "shit" to describe those movies, what are you using to describe movies like Batman v Superman, X-Men Apocalypse, Wolverine Origins, or Ghostbitches, for example?
Because none of the MCU movies are anywhere near those in terms of "shit" so I'd probably label the MCU "failures" as more mediocre than anything. They didn't repulse me when I watched them like the above mentioned did.

We're comparing the shit MCU against the
OMFG THEY MADE SPIDER-MAN WONDERFUL AGAIN, I'M FUCKING CRYING!!~!
Thor is a very acceptable movie, better than xmen shit, better than BvS shit, but cunts out compared to top Tier 1 GotG/Avengers.
It's basically 3 tiers for MCU
Tier 1:
GotG
Avengers
IM1
Cap2
Cap3
Tier 2:
IM2
Cap1
AntMan
Tier 3:
IM3
Hulk
Thor 1
Thor 2
Avengers 2
Sure, personal preferences, you can move a movie up or down one tier, but never TWO tiers for example there is no way in hell Avengers 2 can ever be Tier 1.
Just like the Thors can move into T2, but shit even Black Hiemdall won't grant you passage to T1
Same can be said for T1, GotG may not be your cup of tea, but no way in hell can you move it to T3, green shit territory.

It's going to be ironic if they take what have been so far two of the weaker franchises within the MCU and combine them to create something as glorious as Ragnarok is sounding so far. I'm trying to manage my expectations for it but it's getting harder as the info drips out about it.
