Winter Soldier was on another level. Its a shame Marvel Studios was never able to get a good earthbound political-ish spylike movie without the Russo Brothers. Civil War was really the last good movie the MCU had in that palette. Black Widow & Hawkeye missed the mark bad on that.

@Shady_Mist went so far as to say that Winter Soldier is not just the best MCU sequel, it’s the “best MCU movie/series period.”

On the dissenting side, @RebelHart9 chose Ant-Man and the Wasp because “Ghost’s costume is one of the coolest in all of the MCU,” to which @joelogsdon18 replied, “What a stupid reason to pick over film over another.”

I’d personally say Ant-Man & The Wasp mostly because I think Ghost’s costume is one of the coolest in all of the MCU
