[MyenShi]

- When it ended.



I'll get back to you with a serious list.

Solid list though. You've been busy.

 

[ZE_501]

Two come to mind immediately, the rest would take some thought:

Iron Man -- suit up and Gulmira liberation
Civil War -- Spider-Man shocking everyone with his strength and competence while being an annoying teen. It's the most Spidey he's ever been in the MCU.

(There's a lot from Civil War, actually.)

 

[MyenShi]

Iron Man 2
Monaco race and Mk V suit up.

Winter Soldier
All the fight choreography but especially the knife fight.

Infinity War
Thor making friends in Wakanda.

Civil War
Everything about the Leipzig airport battle.

Infinity War
The snap and subsequent dusting.


Quick 5 just off the top of my head. But there are just so many memorable moments. If I think about it I’ll have a top 10 or top 20 in no time.

 

[Raleig.h]

When Captain America stood alone against an entire army, ready to fight til his last breath.

Although he's not my favourite character ... that scene was well-earned and had impact.

Same. Also not a favorite character but that scene solidified him as a superhero legend.

The MCU has had a tremendous run of films, and it’s incredible that it is still ongoing! There are lots of good, memorable movies, and so, what are your favorite MCU scenes/moments? Whether it’s seeing certain characters or comic panels come to life on the screen to anything that stuck with you..

The "Neville Longbottom" moment in CA-TWS. This guy has no superpowers. No big name. No super team waiting to back him up. No legacy to greatness. His only super power is being willing to die for his principles, even if no one else agrees.

Something I consider when I watch The Avengers again is those rank and file NYPD guys, most of them had a Glock and a couple of spare mags. Less than 60 rounds. Many probably got completely massacred by the Chitauri and lots probably had to end up going hand to hand with just their expandable batons in the end. It's one thing to be Iron Man and have shoulder fired missiles and the ability to fly. It's another to be the average guy and realize you are the only hope for a bunch of innocents trying to escape behind you.

IMHO, Rene Russo was the only saving grace of The Dark World. Everything she touched in the MCU, in a scant few scenes, made everything so much better.

These are the human touches that were missing in much of Phase 4.

 

[Khev]

When Thanos said "I...am...inevitable" and then Rey said "And I'm all the Jedi."

Secret Invasion
- Captain Marvel wasn't in it so she was spared the embarrassment of that show.
- When it ended.

Hehehe I haven’t watched SI yet; I appreciate that bit of info!

Yes! The IM Mark III suit-up sequence is quite possibly the best scene of all the MCU to me.

Agreed! Spidey introduced in CW was fantastic to see on the big screen.

I felt CW is just about Avengers 2.5

Great top five! Surely some of the most memorable that spring to mind. Would like to know the rest on your list!

Definitely the best of Cap, I think it’s my fave Cap moment from all the movies.

Same. Also not a favorite character but that scene solidified him as a superhero legend.

 

[Zurdo95D]

Is that Black Widow?

When Thanos said "I...am...inevitable" and then Rey said "And I'm all the Jedi."

Thanos against Rey would be an interesting match-up, what if - what if she showed up in EG?!

 

[MyenShi]

Hehehe I haven’t watched SI yet

Don't.

 

[Zurdo95D]

Don't.

 

[TheeWanderer]

My favorite moment of all time in the MCU is Yondu and Rocket(and Groot!) murdering all the traitorous ravagers. That whole sequence is pure perfection and I'm still gutted that version of "Come a Little Bit Closer" has never seen an official release.

Though close second is Tobey stopping Tom from killing Green Goblin. Such a powerful full-circle moment that perfectly shows that Tobey's Spider-Man will always be on a whole other level. <3

 

[goatchumby]

Too many to list, but here's a few favorites from Phase I - III:

And a bonus for Zurdo

 

[Mondragon]

If counting TV U ... (non Disney)
Enter DareDevil's Zorro proto-hero look, and base corridor fight.

The simple, straight pulpy bare-bones scene, hit better than every flashy overwrought fx- spectacle of Disney's gagillion dollar bloated output.

 

[choombaz]

Zurdo, great list but I thought the scene where Toomes discovered that Peter was Spider-Man was a much better scene. The first thing I thought of for greatest moments in MCU. Keaton just kills it with some beautifully subtle acting, his facial expressions just perfect and the lighting helps tremendously. Just an outstanding squirm in your seat moment.

I will definitely do a list when I have more time.

So Captain Marvel made your list?!

Well for me the actors reprising those characters in the MCU canonizes the Netfilx shows

But yeah that scene is brutal!
