Agree with Jake, the B tier is being very under utilized! It'd be cool to see your guys' individual tiers one day.

[@EzraCubero]

The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 slander *hurts*. That's my favorite MCU movie by a mile.

[@ReelBlend]

Beautiful!

[@hugh-jasole]

GOTG 1 is better but GOTG2 is still top 10 MCU for sure. James Gunn is easily besides maybe the Russos the greatest filmmaker they've worked with. James Gunn has never made a mediocre film. So by my logic even lower tier Gunn is still better than 95% of all other MCU movies. Hes just a better filmmaker than the rest of them.

[@andrewperlmutter8148]

As Crossbones would say…. “I’ve been waiting for this!”

[@JakeFromFlorida87]

Y’all are sleeping on Eternals! Awesome video 😎

[@ReelBlend]

Thanks, Jake!

[@oldnbaschool]

Hell of a fun episode

[@wiiplaya25]

Homecoming is an A based off the discussion y’all had. Endgame is a strong A at best.

[@bambamhakkai]

Love it

[@hplovecraft8795]

You have to take Homecoming & Endgame off that top tier, they are good movies but not in the same class as ‘Infinity War’, Civil War or Winter Soldier? That top tier has to be for their real classic movies & you have to know deep down that Homecoming especially is not in the same class. I know it’s personal taste but it’s just not as good a movie as you think it is. Good list & great fun to listen too.

[@ralph2929]

You should do DIRECTORS TIER next. But you should be fair and not be biased for NOLAN and TARANTINO. It won't be fun if for nolan and tarantino you have 3 S and all the rest in A.

[@ralph2929]

EDIT: Both directors have films in C

[@thedozeecloset]

Another Michael Peña movie I love is EXTINCTION.
Much like END OF WATCH, it proves what an amazing character actor Michael is.

[@tomhahnl1927]

Guardians Vol.2 is at least B 💜💛💚🧡

[@joshuaebethea]

Black panther does have powers from the heart shaped herb
Edit: didn’t mean to be an “uhhh actually” guy lol I just found you guys but you make great content!

[@bhaisenior385]

One of my favourite Michael Peña movie is CHiPs (2017). The movie was not that bad

[@arunanarulnesan5842]

Nolan List Nolan List :D
Category Underrated :P The Prestige

[@tomhahnl1927]

Phase 4 inkl. the Disney+ shows, interesting.

[@joelanthonylim6792]

Just a heads up, What If might impact what happens in Doctor Strange 2 so you might need to finish that TV series before watching that movie

[@soconnell33]

Excellent point. I will definitely finish it.

[@have_studs_will_travel2809]

one can argue that What If? ... paved the way for No Way Home and DS2 to be easier understood by the non-hardcore-comicbook fan

[@paulkalokerinos1791]

What if leads into multivervse of madnesses

[@brickshott2211]

Hawkeye is C tier at best.
Instead of being called Hawkeye, it should've been called Kate Bishop show. Yelena & Clint story was pointless and had no tension, track suit mafia sucked, larpers sucked, the way they handled Kingpin was ass. 👎

[@NilaktheProphet]

I'm with Jake on Far From Home. It just missed the mark in a lot of ways for me. The humor wasn't anywhere near as clever as Homecoming, Samuel L Jackson was wasted, unconvincing CGI, and yet another MCU Spidey movie about Peter trying to be Iron Man Jr.

[@mythdusterds]

I did not like the first Dr Strange film very much. I be enjoyed Multiverse of Madness more

[@RevJ7]

Infinity War 100% has flaws. They cut Hulks entire arc.

[@LunaTheKitty0]

Yeah? On purpose? Literally to make the doctor hulk character in endgame?? Russo’s has spoken about this ?

[@terrymerry4788]

Christian Bale Says Hollywood (and the World) Would Be Better If ‘White Dudes’ Weren’t in Charge of Everything The actor says there would be "so much better films and so much more interesting stories" if white dudes weren't running Hollywood. Zack Sharf Dec 19, 2017

[@terrymerry4788]

“Our culture will be so much richer the day that we stop saying, ‘Hey, it’s all white dudes who are running things,'” Christian Bale said. “Whether that be Hollywood, whether that be Washington, you know. We’re going to get, in Hollywood, so much better films and so much more interesting stories being told and America will become the America that the rest of the world sees it as, that makes it unique…that we recognize makes this such a beautiful, brilliant country.”

[@terrymerry4788]

captain marvel should be much higher up

[@RevJ7]

Infinity War 100% has flaws. They cut Hulks entire arc.
Holy shit... the takes on Cap/WS was ... just so bad.
Easily the best Marvel show... Wandavision was terrible because of the wet fart ending. An entire character reduced to a boner joke. So bad.
Holy shit is Dr Strange a D at best.Terrible movie outside of FX and good origin.

[@Dvilchez91]

Imo these are all too highly ranked, there’s no S tier marvel movie/show. Also far from home is the worst MCU movie

[@terrymerry4788]

Christian Bale has had enough of “white guys” running everything in Hollywood and beyond. The actor stopped by AOL Build with his “Hostiles” co-star Rosamund Pike and Wes Studi on December 18 and told the crowd that the reason he moved to the U.S. in the first place was because he wanted his kids to grow up in a “country of inclusion.” Unfortunately, that ideal hasn’t been too much of a reality.
