Pick The Better MCU Film And Get A Superhero Soulmate

The MCU has been putting out truly great superhero films for the last ten years, and it will all finally be culminating in the upcoming Avengers: Endgame. This film, which is set to be a huge conclusion to the story, will see a lot of big changes coming to the MCU, but all of the heroes that people know and love will definitely be making an appearance. There are so many films in the entire series now, that everyone has their favorites. They don't even have to just be limited to which heroes each person likes, as the movies can stand on their own as great works.

Choosing which movies in the MCU are the best can really say a lot about what a person likes to see in films, but also what kind of characters speak to them the most. Maybe they like Captain America films the best because to them, Steve Rogers is the epitome of a hero, someone who is willing to put his life on the line whenever necessary to save the day. Maybe they prefer Iron Man films because they like Tony Stark's confidence . and self-assured attitude when he is fighting the bad guys.

Pick the best MCU movies in the following choices to get a superhero soulmate!

Question 1

Captain America: The First Avenger or Iron Man 3?

One of these movies is the very first in a trilogy of films within the MCU, the other is the finale. Captain America: The First Avenger tells the origin story of Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, and how he got his start fighting in World War II against HYDRA and the Red Skull. Iron Man 3 continues the story of Tony Stark, who is beginning to experience PTSD after the events of The Avengers. He must figure out how to beat the bad guys without depending on his suits.

Question 2

The Avengers or Ant-Man?

The Avengers was a huge movie event. It finally brought all of the heroes in the MCU together for a groundbreaking film that was packed with humor, action, and great performances. It was led to every other studio trying to build a shared universe. Ant-Man, on the other hand, was a smaller film, but was no less fun than The Avengers. Paul Rudd made his MCU debut as Scott Lang, an ex-con who is mentored by Hank Pym and becomes the titular shrinking superhero.

Question 3

Guardians of the Galaxy or Captain America: The Winter Soldier?

Guardians of the Galaxy took a B list comic book team and propelled them into the spotlight. The film became a huge hit thanks to the performances of all the lead characters, as well as the assured direction of James Gunn. Captain America: the Winter Soldier, o the other hand, was the second film about the star-spangled hero, and it took a lot of its inspiration from 70s thrillers like The Parallax View. So which of these MCU films is the better one?

Question 4

The Incredible Hulk or Black Panther?

The Incredible Hulk is probably one of the most forgotten MCU films. These days, it barely feels like an MCU film at all. Even Edward Norton, who played the lead role, didn’t stick around, later being replaced by Mark Ruffalo. On the other hand, Black Panther was a massive surprise hit for Marvel. IT told the story of T’Challa, the king of Wakanda, who was unsure of what his country’s place in the world should be. Which is the better film?

Question 5

Avengers: Age of Ultron or Iron Man?

Avengers: Age of Ultron was the much-hyped follow up to the first Avengers film. This one found the super team fighting against one of Tony Stark’s creation, an artificial intelligence that was supposed to help protect the world, but ended up going rogue. Iron Man, on the other hand, was the film that started everything. Before anyone had even thought about the idea of a shared universe, Iron Man gave audiences a thrilling adventure featuring a hero who would end up becoming one of the most popular heroes in the world.

Question 6

Spider-Man: Homecoming or Thor: The Dark World?

Spider-Man: Homecoming was the newest Spider-Man adventure after he was first introduced into the MCU in Captain America: Civil War. It was packed with lots of fun moments, and showed just how hard it would be for a high school kid to be a superhero. Thor: The Dark World continued to build on the mythology that was introduced in the first film. It also introduced one of the infinity stones in the form of the aether. Which one is the better film?

Question 7

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 or Ant-Man and the Wasp?

Both of these films are sequels to other films in the MCU, and they both rely on the humor of their characters to help carry the story. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 found the titular team facing off against a new enemy with immense power. Ant-Man and the Wasp introduced a new superhero into the mix, Wasp, who teams up with Ant-Man to help keep Hank Pym’s shrinking technology out of the wrong hands, and to save Janet Van Dyne from the quantum realm.

Question 8

Thor: Ragnarok or Doctor Strange?

Thor: Ragnarok and Doctor Strange were both refreshing changes of pace from the typical MCU stories. Doctor Strange told the origin story of the titular superhero, who learned how to control forces beyond his understanding by studying under the ancient one and using the eye of agamotto. He even showed up in Thor: Ragnarok, which found Thor and Loki (as well as the Hulk) stranded on a far off planet and trying to save Asgard from their sister Hela. Which one is better?

Question 9

Captain America: Civil War or Thor?

Captain America: Civil war found the Avengers turning on each other, taking different sides in the dispute over whether they should allow themselves to be under the direction of a third party. It turned Iron Man and Captain America against each other, and influenced later films. Thor introduced the hammer wielding, blond-haired hero to the MCU, and it did so with a Shakespearian flair provided by director Kenneth Branagh. So, between these two MCU films, which is the better choice?

Question 10

Captain America: The Winter Soldier or Spider-Man: Homecoming?

Both of these films received plenty of acclaim when they were released. Captain America: the Winter Soldier garnered a lot of praise for its taught storytelling and direction, as well as the performances, including a villainous turn by Robert Redford. Spider-Man: Homecoming was responsible for rejuvenating Spider-Man on the big screen. It drew much of its inspiration from the films of John Hughes, and it wears all of those influences on its sleeve. Which one is the better film, though?

Question 11

The Incredible Hulk or Iron Man 3?

The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 3 were both divisive films when it came to the fan base of the MCU. While it is not widely celebrated as one of the better films in the MCU, the Incredible Hulk still has some fans out there. Iron Man 3, on the other hand, was seen by some as being far too different and subversive to be taken seriously, while others found its story to be a refreshing take on the genre as a whole.

Question 12

Ant-Man and the Wasp or Thor?

Ant-Man and the Wasp was a light and fun follow up to one of the MCU’s smaller films (no pun intended). IT was also a welcome reminder that the MCU can still be a lot of fun after the absolute gut punch of the ending of Infinity War. Thor managed to introduce another hero to the MCU while also expanding the universe outward into the farther reaches of the universe. It gave audiences a chance to see what was going on off of Earth.

Question 13

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 or Doctor Strange?

Both of these MCU films had a lot of fun doing things differently from some of the other films in the cinematic universe. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continued that series hot streak of blending humor, classic radio pop rock, and intergalactic action to sheer perfection. Meanwhile, Doctor Strange was changing things up by tying the Earth to some of the other far reaches of the Marvel universe in order to start bringing everything together for Infinity War. Which one is the better film, though?

Question 14

Iron Man 2 or The Avengers?

Iron Man 2 continued the story of Tony Stark and his magnificent mechanical suits. It also introduced the character of Justin Hammer to the MCU, who is a major rival to Tony Stark. He tries to create suits as well, but cannot seem to crack the code. The Avengers, of course, also featured tony Stark, but it put him on screen with every other superhero, allowing all of them to shine in their own special ways. Which one is the better film, though?

Question 15

Ant-Man or Captain America: The First Avenger?

Both of these films introduced their titular heroes to the world of the MCU, although they did it in wildly different ways. Captain America: The First Avenger was a period movie that traced Steve rogers’s transformation into the famous hero during World War II. Ant-Man instead focused on being more of a heist movie combined with some superhero fun. While Captain America had plenty of heart, Ant-Man leaned heavily into its stars sense of humor. So which film did a better job introducing a hero?

Question 16

Guardians of the Galaxy or Avengers: Age of Ultron?

Guardians of the Galaxy was a surprise hit that almost no one saw coming. After all, the Guardians of the Galaxy were definitely not A-list Marvel heroes. There was even some worry that people wouldn’t be interested in seeing the film at all. Avengers: Age of Ultron, on the other hand, had a ton of hype before it came out. Not only was it reuniting the Avengers on a new adventure, but it was also introducing some new characters to the MCU who would become very important later on.

Question 17

Black Panther or Avengers: Infinity War?

Both of these films ended up being huge events for Marvel Studios, and what made it even more interesting was that both of them came out in the same year. Needless to say, 2018 was big for the MCU. Black Panther introduced the nation of Wakanda and its people to the big screen. Avengers: Infinity War revisited Wakanda, when some of the heroes ended up fighting against Thanos and his forces when they broke through the country’s barrier. Which one is the better film, though?

Question 18

Captain America: Civil War or Ant-Man and the Wasp?

Captain America: Civil War told a story about superheroes coming to a head when they disagree over how they should work together to keep the world safe. Ant-Man and the Wasp featured a fun plot that owed a lot to Elmore Leonard stories. Oddly enough, both of these films feature Ant-Man. In Civil War, he grows to giant size during the famous airport fight. In Ant-Man and the Wasp, he is stuck with a malfunctioning suit that sometimes leaves him the size of a kid.

Question 19

The Avengers or Thor: Ragnarok?

The Avengers was a huge event film. It was basically the first major motion picture to combine characters from four different film franchises into one massive story. It was major hit with audiences and critics, and quickly set the stage for further crossovers in the MCU. Speaking of crossovers, Thor: Ragnarok got to surprise audiences when it introduced the fact that Hulk would be showing up to go on an outer space adventure with Thor in this third, more lighthearted outing.

Question 20

Iron Man or Black Panther?

Both of these films stand as testaments to different stages of the MCU. Iron Man was the film that kickstarted everything., People didn’t even know that there could be other characters in this superhero universe until Nick Fury showed up in a post-credits scene to reveal the Avenger initiative. Black Panther made a big splash by being the first superhero film to feature a cast of almost entirely black actors. This made a huge cultural splash in the world, and allowed for a much richer story to be told.

Question 21

Iron Man 2 or Avengers: Age of Ultron?

These films are both the second films in their series, and yet they couldn’t be more different from each other. When Iron Man 2 was released, the Avengers still hadn’t come together. Tony was running loose, much to Nick fury’s chagrin. It did, however, introduce War Machine to the mix, which was great. Age of Ultron went ahead and told the biggest story that the MCU had yet attempted, and it found a great villain in James Spader, who provided the voice and motion capture for Ultron.

Question 22

Avengers: Infinity War or Doctor Strange?

Both of these films feature Doctor Strange as a major player in the story. In his own film, Doctor Strange must fight against forces that wish to open the Earth up to the ultra powerful interdimensional being, Dormammu. In Avengers: Infinity War, Doctor Strange must reveal the truth of the infinity stones to Tony Stark, before he ends up joining him, Spider-Man, and the Guardians of the Galaxy in a fight against the Mad Titan to protect the time stone.

Question 23

Thor: The Dark World or Captain America: Civil War?

Thor: The Dark World is probably one of the most forgotten and overlooked films in the MCU. It’s not exactly perfect. Its dour tone doesn’t exactly match up with the films that would come after it, but it was an important part of building up the story of the infinity stones. On the other hand, Captain America: Civil War was important in building up the story for future films, where many of the superheroes had separated from each other and gone on different paths.

Question 24

The Incredible Hulk or Spider-Man: Homecoming?

The Incredible Hulk had some truly great special effects work in it, transforming Edward Norton into the giant green monster who seems like he is out of control, but can often take hold just enough to fight against the bad guys. Spider-Man: Homecoming was a far brighter and lighter film which also featured a lot of special effects work. The new version of Peter Parker became an instant hit, mostly due to his earnest attitude and optimism. Which is the better film?

Question 25

Captain America: The First Avenger or Iron Man?

Both of these films told the origin stories of the two most central heroes in the entire MCU. Captain America: The First Avenger told the story of how Steve Rogers went from being a small but brave person into being a full-fledged superhero. Likewise, Iron Man traced the path of Tony Stark from being an egotistical tech billionaire to becoming an altruistic superhero. They have both become fixtures of the MCU, but which of these heroes has a better movie?

Question 26

Iron Man 2 or Thor?

Iron Man 2 has its flaws, but it is not that bad of a movie. It did a noble job of continuing the Iron Man story, while also introducing Natasha Romanoff (also known as Black Widow) to the MCU. Sure, Mickey Rourke’s accent is pretty bad, but it doesn’t sink the film. Thor also faces its own criticism for being a little bit forgettable, as well as featuring some awkward performances from the humans of the story. Even though Natalie Portman played a big role in the film, she declined to return after the sequel.

Question 27

Guardians of the Galaxy or Ant-Man?

Both of these MCU films emphasize comedy in their storytelling. Guardians of the Galaxy was about a band of intergalactic misfits coming together to stop a really bad guy from obtaining the power stone. It was heavy on jokes, as well as the chemistry between all of its lead characters. Ant-Man also leaned heavily into humor, utilizing some very funny cutaways that featured one of the hero’s friends telling a story of how he found out about Hank Pym’s home.

Question 28

Avengers: Infinity War or Thor: Ragnarok?

Thor: Ragnarok had a direct lead-in to the story of Avengers: Infinity War, but both movies could not be more different from each other. Thor: Ragnarok finally figured out how to use the hero to tell a story that could lean on his mythology while still having a lot of fun with the material. Avengers: Infinity War on the other hand was a much more serious problem. Sure, there were still some fun parts, but the overall story was so big that it didn’t have a lot of room to be lighthearted.

Question 29

Iron Man 3 or Thor: The Dark World?

Both of these MCU films certainly have their detractors, but overall they are not nearly as bad as some people think. Iron Man 3 gets a bad rap for how different it is from the preceding two films, but when has being different automatically meant something is bad? Thor: The Dark World has been criticized for being a dull endeavor and not adding much to the overall film universe, but it definitely has its own interesting story to tell, even if most people don’t think so.

Question 30

Captain America: The Winter Soldier or Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2?

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is rightly regarded as one of the strongest sequels in the entire MCU canon. Its streamlined story, coupled with the competent action scenes made for an incredible movie watching experience. It also brought Bucky back into the fold of the MCU, and he has played a major role since coming back. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 also took the opportunity to expand on its source material, introducing a new villain to the film who was indicative of the fact that there are some truly powerful beings throughout the universe.

Question 31

Guardians of the Galaxy or Avengers: Infinity War?

Guardians of the Galaxy introduced a less-than-popular superhero team from MArvel’s past to the screen. People might have thought that the team wouldn’t have that much of an impact, but they were proven wrong by the film’s undeniable success. The Guardians were finally featured in an Avengers film when they ended up playing a big role in the events of Avengers: Infinity War. They got to fight alongside Iron Man, Spider-Man, and doctor Strange as they all took on Thanos.

Question 32

Black Panther or Thor?

Both Black Panther and Thor tell individual tales of Marvel superheroes, but Black Panther is unique in the fact that its central hero had already been introduced in a previous film. Black Panther continued to build on the character’s reputation and open up the nation of Wakanda to audiences. Thor, on the other hand, leaned into the mythology that inspired the characters and benfited greatly from the direction of Kenneth Branagh, who was the perfect person to capture the sort of classical character driven tales of this Marvel hero.

Question 33

Captain America: The First Avenger or Thor: Ragnarok?

Captain America: The First Avenger and Thor: Ragnarok are two very different films, both tonally and in the stories that they tell. Captain America: The First Avenger was clearly more interested in setting up its hero as part of the past, someone who was going to have a hard time adjusting to being brought into the future. Thor: Ragnarok was already dealing with an established hero and mythology, and it leaned more into making jokes and letting the character shed some of his more serious persona.

Question 34

Doctor Strange or Ant-Man and the Wasp?

Doctor Strange really upped the ante in terms of creative visuals in Marvel films. Many of them were starting to be criticized for looking too similar, or having climactic final battles that were just very bland special effects driven spectacles. Doctor Strange chose to move forward by sending its hero into all kinds of different realms, including the quantum realm. Ant-Man found himself in the quantum realm once again when he embarked on another adventure in Ant-Man and the Wasp.

Question 35

Captain America: The Winter Soldier or The Incredible Hulk?

Captain America: The Winter Soldier met with a lot of praise due to its efficient storytelling, resonating themes, and great performances. It was basically the most well-received MCU sequel up until Thor: Ragnarok, and people would still probably rank it at number one. The Incredible Hulk never got a sequel, as it became obvious that the Hulk is a much better bit player in other MCU stories. That strategy has worked very well, but there are definitely still Hulk fans out there who want another Hulk standalone film.

Question 36

Avengers: Age of Ultron or Spider-Man Homecoming?

Avengers: Age of Ultron was a fairly well-received film, although it was not without its faults. It met with some criticism for feeling a little too overstuffed, especially considering how lean and well-paced the first Avengers film was. Still, it did its job and was a lot of fun. Spider-Man: Homecoming was a welcome addition to the MCU. It introduced the now most popular version of both the hero and his alter ego, Peter Parker. Both films are a lot of fun, but which is better?

Question 37

Captain America: Civil War or The Avengers?

Captain America: Civil Wart and the Avengers both find plenty of heroes populating the screen. In fact, some people even refer to Civil War as Avengers 2.5 because of how many heroes appear in it. Still, it told a great story that never feels like it is doing too much heavy lifting. The Avengers is the original of the superhero crossover films, and to many fans, it still stands as the best one by far. So really, which of these MCU films is the better choice?

Question 38

Iron Man 2 or Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2?

Both of these films are direct sequels to films that set up characters. Iron Man 2 deftly continued the story of Tony Stark and his superhero work, but expanded on just what effect he was having on the world. Not all of it was positive, after all. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, on the other hand, expanded on some of the things that could be found in the furthest reaches of the Marvel universe, and gave some of its characters some much needed development and personality.

Question 39

Iron Man 3 or Ant-Man?

Iron Man 3 broke ranks from the other Iron Man films, most likely due to the change in director. Shane Black, the mastermind behind movies like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, lent his signature style to the film, and made it more of a mystery than other MCU films. He also showed how Tony could be a hero without depending on his suit. Ant-Man also made a lot of headway in differing from some of the more established stylistic tics of the MCU, but which one is the better movie?

Question 40

Iron Man or Thor: The Dark World?

Iron Man opened up the entire MCU to unsuspecting audiences everywhere. The success of the cinematic universe was resting on the shoulders of Tony Stark and his suits, and luckily the gambit paid off in a big way, even making Tony stark a central figure in the universe. Thor: The Dark World also did some heavy lifting in terms of story, by introducing yet another infinity stone in the form of the aether, which turned out to be the reality stone.
