Infinity Was Was Peak - MCU Infinity Saga
Steven and Régine are ranking the MCU's first ten years! Support the show by joining the community at https://www.patreon.com/wtrshow. Today, we're building an Infinity Saga tier list to decide which Marvel legacy films hold up as peak cinema and which ones were just pure filler.
To help rank these 23 superhero films, the crew brings in special guests Bella (@mybiographicalfilm on TikTok) and Asia (@a_asiamarie on TikTok) to navigate the strategy board of S-Tier masterpieces to F-Tier disasters. Asia brings her film degree lens to break down the missed potential of Black Widow's arc and her defense of Age of Ultron, while Bella stands on a controversial island declaring Captain America: Civil War as an overrated filler movie while proudly repping Thor: Ragnarok as the perfect comfort watch. Together, they establish the rules of the draft, weighing cultural legacy against narrative flaws, formulaic plotting, and CGI battles.
The table quickly heats up as the group dissects the butterfly effects and writing shifts that defined the Infinity Saga's massive domino effect on Hollywood. They examine the rampant "daddy issues" connecting Tony Stark and Thanos, the harsh treatment of female characters and creators of color within the Disney machine, and the alternate timelines—like a Cold War-style Winter Soldier and Black Widow espionage thriller. By the time they reach the monumental debate between Infinity War and Endgame, the group is forced to decide if the emotional payoff of the finale outranks the flawless villain pacing of Thanos's initial snap.
