The hype surrounding Marvel's newest movie installment "Avengers: Infinity War" has been building for years; 10, actually. Beginning with "Iron Man" in 2008, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has grown exponentially with each movie connecting with the next. So to fully grasp the grandeur that is "Infinity War," I took it upon myself to rewatch all of the films in order. Here, over a month in the making, is a sloppy review of all 19 movies in the MCU so far.

1. "Iron Man" (2008)

I remember watching this movie as a kid and immediately wanting to be an engineer. I even decided to major in it in college. I’ve since changed my major, obviously, because physics is ass. But, it was a pretty poetic moment up until then. Long story short, Iron Man is the best; 10/10.

2. "The Incredible Hulk" (2008)

So... you don’t need to watch Hulk. Edward Norton? Who is he? A '"Fight Club" was still really good though'/10

3. "Iron Man 2" (2010)

An incredible sequel! It was everything fans could have wanted plus Scarlett Johansson. 10/10.

4. “Thor” (2011)

That scene where he walks into the pet store and demands a horse kills me every time. The plot is okay, but the characters make this movie for me! 8/10.

5. “Captain America: The First Avenger” (2011)

Just Chris Evans doing his Captain America thing. This movie is the whole package honestly. 10/10

6. “Avengers” (2012)

You know that shot where they’re in the middle of New York looking at the aliens and the camera circles around them? 10/10 in itself. That could be the entire movie and I would still stan.

7. “Iron Man 3” (2013)

Feels like a DC movie, but I’m obligated to like it ‘cause, Iron Man. I’d watch it for continuity, but during an MCU marathon, it’s skippable. 6/10

8. “Thor: The Dark World” (2013)

I’m here for the world building and Loki’s bullshit. Other than that, this one is pretty average. 7/10.

9. “Captain America: Winter Soldier” (2014)

SEBASTIAN STAN. AND THAT “PULP FICTION” REFERENCE. 10/10

10. “Guardians of the Galaxy” (2014)

The first MCU movie to ever make me cry… over a tree. @Marvel Writing Staff, how did you make an action-adventure/comedy make me cry over a tree!? Don’t play me like this. Overall, 10/10.

11. “Avengers: Age of Ultron” (2015)

Some fans think that this movie is skippable, and they’re wrong. There’s too much world building to look this one over! Literally a direct set up for “Avengers: Infinity War.” Not to mention that scene where they all try to lift Thor’s hammer cured my depression. Definitely an 8/10.

12. “Ant-Man” (2015)

I liked this one a lot more than I thought I would! While not as crazy or epic as other MCU movies (considering he’s the size of a literal ant for half of it), the creativity of the fight scenes made it notable nonetheless. 8/10.

13. “Captain America: Civil War” (2016)

THIS MOVIE IS EVERYTHING. SPIDER-MAN. BLACK PANTHER. It gets a Sebastian Stan/10 from me.

14. “Doctor Strange” (2016)

Get you a mans as freaky as these editors because damn. One of the more aesthetically pleasing movies with an impressive character arc. 8/10 for sure.

15. “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” (2017)

Everything I wanted and needed from this crew! Baby Groot AND three after credit scenes (!?). I am not worthy, 9/10.

16. “Spider-Man: Homecoming” (2017)

My face hurt after the first time I saw this because I could not stop smiling throughout the whole thing. Tom Holland is the best Spider-Man; you can’t change my mind. New Spidey is definitely second best avenger (behind Iron Man, duh) for me. 10/10

17. “Thor: Ragnarok” (2017)

A step above “The Dark World” for me. Between Loki shenanigans and Hulk thriving, it made for a lot of laughs and feels. 8/10.

18. “Black Panther” (2018)

One of the most kick-ass films so far in the MCU with arguably the best characters. Okoye could literally slay me and leave me on ‘read’, and I would still stan. 10/10.

19. “Avengers: Infinity War” (2018)

Thicc Iron Man is back Y'all! I’m anticipating crying happy tears during the entire thing and I may piss myself out of excitement. Who knows??
