Guys how acclaimed (by fans and otherwise) are the next few MCU movies? I’m deciding if a brand mention should go on Iron Man 3 or the next Thor. I just saw IM3 and was pretty blown away but views on YouTube seem lighter for some reason. Help me?

The next 2 aren't very well regarded. I'd pin it on Cap 2, that's considered a juggernaut of the MCU. Out of all of the MCU, The Winter Soldier is considered one of the top tier ones, if not the very best.

Agreed with Ethan - IM3 is good but suffers from being compared to IM1, and Thor 2 is widely panned by the general audience. Cap 2 is where you should brand mention as that one will get you a lot of views. Guardians of the Galaxy and Cap 3 are the next super solid movies for brand mention that are coming up.

Agree with others, fans are a bit 50/50 on IM3, but either side would consider Thor 2 to be a lesser movie. Cap 2 (and cap 3 when you get there) are fan favorites. Guardians, Ultron, & Antman, are going to be coming in above IM3, but probably not challenge Cap(s).

I would say Winter Soldier, or wait until Civil War. Dark World tends to be near the bottom of everyone's list.

Iron Man 3 is kind of split for a lot of fans. It’s a pretty good standalone Iron Man movie, but it doesn’t really fit with a lot of the other MCU stuff. It’s a Shane Black movie, and he kind of has his own style.

Well, everything is subjective when it comes to movies. For me, I'd not miss one because the whole thread, good or bad, is needed to have the end come together so seamlessly, but that's just my take.

I do recommend checking out Iron Man 3, as it's a unique dive into Tony Stark's character post-Battle of New York showcased in Avengers (2012). Thor: Dark World, on the other hand, is a film I still need to watch, so I can't speak on it. I know it's one of the weakest films in the MCU, but who knows, maybe you'd like it. Once you get to Winter Solider it's just amazing moving forward, but I'm more of a Guardians of the Galaxy fan, so I'm excited to hear your thoughts on those movies. Winter Solider is alot of peoples favourites, Captain America's trilogy is a favourite of many as well but I personally prefer the Guardians movies. This is when Marvel began to explore new themes and tones. The contrast between Winter Solider and Guardians is enormous, and that's what I adore. Films and characters that differ heavily from each other rather than all the characters and movies having a super serious, dark, moody tone like we saw with DC. Starting with Man of Steel (2013), applying what Christopher Nolan did with Batman to Superman. So I cannot wait for your thoughts on how they manage differant tones across their films moving forward.

My initial viewing of iron Man 3 it was my least favorite Iron Man but after subsequent viewings I've realized that my assessment at the time wasn't fair. At the time some reporting on behind the scenes caused me to prejudge what has become one of my favorite MCU films. It is also the best microcosm of Tony Stark as a character in the MCU in my opinion. Plus had possibly my favorite end credit scene in the whole MCU.

I really liked IM3, but I'm in the minority. It was more of a one and done for everyone else I know. Thor Dark World is pretty much a one and done for everybody on the planet.

I'm seeing people on here saying the next two movies aren't well-liked. I'd like to put in my two cents. I love ALL the MCU films. Yes, I like some more than others. But I have yet to see a bad MCU film. They are all good, and all worth watching, in my humble opinion. This coming from a guy who has been collecting comics since the 70s. I will also say I believe many of us here are very excited for you to watch the rest of these films. Personally I'd like to see you begin powering through them. If you keep up with only one per month, It will take you a year and a half to get through the rest of them. All that being said, I'm thoroughly enjoying re-experiencing these films vicariously through you. EDIT: Some people saying IM3 is not a good film, I just don't understand that. And Thor: The Dark World is a very good film. I have found I enjoy it and revere it more with each viewing.

I like IM3. There are a couple plot holes, but it's a comic book movie, so I shrug them off. Thor 2 is worth watching if you're watching all the other Marvel movies--if just for bits of backstory that make their way into later movies. But I don't think it's something you need to see more than once.

views will pick up once you hit the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy films.

Yes, generally Iron man 3 and Thor dark world aren’t widely well received. So for brand mentions I would start at Captain America Winter Soldier. That being said it doesn’t mean Iron man 3 is bad, you need to put the money where the people are. From Winter Soldier onward the MCU exploded with popularity and fandom. That my take being on the ground while it was happening. No feelings here just being real.

yeah thor 2 was my least fav movie but the rest picks up the tempo

Personally I liked the darker, serious tone of Thor 2 over Iron Man 3. I know my opinion doesn't really matter. But things that happen in these movies do get referenced plus character growth. So at the very least watch them without posting them (or maybe patreon full length only. So no editing.) So those are my pro arguments. Of course your decision.
