I've been wanting to make a "Favorite MCU Action Sequences" for a Long Time Now....but I've always known its going to take me a while because I'm not going to stop at 10...I may go to 50 or list them all ...
Just wanted to let you know I will be replying to this in the next day or 2 after I make my list, Its just going to take me awhile to do it....
I know my number #1 is going to be The Avengers 1 entire Climax....for me Avengers 1 has the best Climax of any film ever, I'm not sure any CBM will ever top it, there are at least 5 JUMP OUT OF YOUR SEAT Moments and ALL TIME ICONIC Moments that take place during the Climax
The Tracking Shot where in one shot the camera goes to and from Every Avenger.
Hulk Rag Dolling Loki
Hulk's Arrival One Punch Leviathan
Group Tracking Circle Shot
Hulk Punches Thor
for My Money The Avengers Climax as an Entirety is The Greatest COMIC BOOK ACTION ever put on film(With the Civil War air Port sequel A close second)
as far as Bring Comics to life, and giving A comic book fan something they've always dreamed of, I just dont think theres anything closer to Bringing A fantasy to life than The Avengers Climax and The CW air port sequence.
I'm leaning toward Thanos Vs Avengers(SM,DS,SL,Drax,IM,Nebula,and Mantis) as being my favorite MCU FIGHT....but Thanos Vs Hulk, Hulk Vs Thor(Avengers 1),Hulk Vs Thor(Ragnarok), Iron Man Vs Hulk(AOU), Cap Vs IM(end fight Civil War),
Cap Vs Bucky(freeway fight in Cap 2, entire sequence), Cap Elevator Fight, IM Vs Thor(Avengers 1), IM vs Whiplash(race track sequence, Its short but I love the Briefcase suit) are all going to make this list a few may end up topping Thanos vs The Avengers...
I truly love Hulk Vs Thanos fight...IMO It was a masterclass in Introducing a villain and Perfectly explaining/showing audiences how dangerous,threatening and powerful Thanos is....
Its the WAY he beats Hulk that is so IMPORTANT....The Russos specifically designed the Sequence to show 2 things...
#1...Thanos is More powerful/Stronger than The Hulk...this was very important for the General Public to see and understand, for Non Hardcore fans, they've seen the 18 MCU films and come away thinking HULK is the stronger character....to show in the first 5 minutes of the film Thanos destroying Hulk and specifically showing a scene where Thanos Over powers Hulk, and to even shows HULKs face of shock while hes being over powered was Masterful...
#2....They specifically designed The Hulk vs Thanos fight to showcase Thanos May in fact be The Most skilled "fighter" in the entire MCU....Thanos didnt just wildly beat Hulk...every Punch he threw was tactical, where he dodged Hulks Wild punches and countered with pin point shots....The Level of "skill" shown In The fight be Thanos and Hulk was Incredible....The reason why the fight was so short was because Thanos's fighting skill was again Maybe The Best we've seen from any MCU character, Thanos Literally beat Hulk into a coma in under 30 seconds because every shot he threw, every punch,knee he landed was tactical...
The Thanos Vs Hulk sequence holds a very dear place in My heart....I feel in may be the single most underrated fight sequence in CBM history....there was just so much being told during this short sequence, The sequence instantly set the stage and Made Audiences fully aware of what kind of Threat Thanos really is....
I do wish it was slightly longer, but I understand why is wasnt, In the case, It was short for Story reasons, It needed to be short, because Thanos Power level and fighting skill DEMANDED it
