Killmongers episode was easily the best and least ridiculous

2021-10-17 13:32:17 +0000 UTCWow, somehow I managed to pick the literal LEAST POPULAR ONE yet again
2021-10-14 02:29:36 +0000 UTCNothing beats that scene where Hawkeye dove into the ultrons in slow motion
2021-10-12 09:37:19 +0000 UTCARE YOU GUYS KIDDING, Marvel Zombies easy

2021-10-09 08:24:03 +0000 UTCI chose the finale because I was the best parts of each episode put into one, but before that I would jave said the Thor one, goofy Thor was just such a nice change of pace compared to the other's

2021-10-08 23:54:46 +0000 UTCFor me it was easily episode 8..... I loved all the episodes but that one in particular really got me hyped and had me really interested..... I loved the story with Hawkeye and Black Widow and the fight between Ultron and the Watcher was just too awesome.....

2021-10-07 19:18:13 +0000 UTCBefore the finale, I would have said 1x5 due to just how incredibly bleak it is but still had heroes to fight... now though? Strange reigns Supreme.

2021-10-07 19:02:22 +0000 UTCI disagree. You're entitled to your opinion of course but your decision to describe the episode as "leagues above the rest" necessitated my reply. I like the episode conceptually and I do think the final product is still good, but in execution it has a lot of problems, in my opinion. An episode like this relies heavily on the emotive performances of the actors and I feel Cumberbatch didn't quite deliver in a lot of key moments. Also the Ancient One's reappearance is extremely under-explained; I don't care how magic she is, you can't just have a dead character show up and say she's an echo or whatever and make it acceptable. Also also, I'm not usually one to complain about the typical "MCU snark" but Strange Supreme being so casual and snarky while he's on his quest for power just feels grossly at odds with where his character is supposed to be at that point in the story.

2021-10-07 12:12:40 +0000 UTCEpisode 4. Cumberbatch smashed it and it was a heart breaking end for his messed up character

2021-10-07 10:25:48 +0000 UTCI don't agree.

2021-10-07 09:40:19 +0000 UTCI didn't like the Dr. Strange ep. quite as much as everyone else seems to. I do like it but I wasn't impressed with Cumberbatch's performance at some key moments and the handwave-y way they involved the Ancient One despite her being dead really bothered me. I feel like I need to watch the first 2 eps again now that I'm more used to the fast pacing of the show. While I liked them a lot the first time, I feel like I'd enjoy them even more now, especially the Star Lord T'Challa one. I liked ep. 3 and the Killmonger and Party Thor episodes a lot (although the Killmonger one ends weirdly abruptly). Zombies has some good moments but the tone just didn't quite work for me (too serious to be an outright comedy, too silly to work as a believable story). Despite the fact I really don't like how implausibly easily Ultron killed Thanos, I think that ep.8 is my favourite overall. I enjoy the huge scale of the threat and how genuinely scary Infinity Ultron is, plus the battle between Uatu and him is extremely fun. Ep. 9, while still good, didn't quite measure up in my opinion, the final battle with Ultron wasn't as good as the Uatu/Ultron one, there just wasn't enough time in a 30 minute episode to properly focus on all the characters and their dynamics as a team and, while I understand why it happened, the now inexplicable appearance of Thanos-killer Gamora is very awkward and distracting.

2021-10-07 07:05:05 +0000 UTCThe Dr. Strange episode had the most heart and the most clear cosmic consequences about messing with time and reality. I'm surprised the Captain Carter and Killmonger episodes don't have more votes as they were very strong as well.
2021-10-07 06:06:55 +0000 UTCT' Challa's episode evoked the most emotion, Ultron's had the most excitement, and Strange's episode had the best concept, for me. I chose T'Challa's as my overall favorite. 💜
Angel Groves
2021-10-07 04:05:20 +0000 UTCCaptain Carter and T’Challa were the front runners for sure. Dr Strange was ok in concept but I think it’s the consequences of that episode is what everyone likes.
Gavin Hardiman
2021-10-07 02:30:15 +0000 UTC8 and 9 as they are the same story just split into 2. i like PARTS of the strange ep mostly him using magic out side of that meh. the mightest avengers one was pretty good. reminded me of an episode of charmed or some other type show.

2021-10-07 01:57:06 +0000 UTCKillmonger easily had the best story/plot of the series imo, loved seeing him manipulate his way through everyone
Jsmooth12033
2021-10-07 00:02:09 +0000 UTCDr Strange and it ain't even close
Sam K
2021-10-06 23:43:15 +0000 UTCUltron wasn't defeated easy. It took time but no it makes perfect sense that the only way to beat him was with Zola. Just like Vision against him, controlling his AI isn't that crazy of a task. And Ego can't do anything against all six stones. Its just the truth. If you mean the finale, Ego didn't die, his avatar just died. It's not hard to destroy that. We've seen it.
Lorenzo Baxter
2021-10-06 23:38:57 +0000 UTCI didn't like any of them, but I guess 8 was the least bad.
Chris Peacock
2021-10-06 23:30:56 +0000 UTCEpisode 3 was the only good one so... that's my answer.
Kevin Bartelen
2021-10-06 23:00:06 +0000 UTCPeople are going to shit on me by my unpopular opinion is the Dr. Strange one was one of my least favorites. It just seemed very repetitive. My favorite one was Ultron Won.

2021-10-06 22:32:07 +0000 UTCThor vs Captain Marvel sold episode 7 as the best
Billy THE KID Lawrence
2021-10-06 22:31:04 +0000 UTCdr strange was by far the best for me, it had so much heart and feeling to it compared to the others
KuroOberon
2021-10-06 22:12:57 +0000 UTCsame!
Vonnie Stewart
2021-10-06 22:05:37 +0000 UTCthe strange episode directly contradicts itself andd the mcu multiple times.
KasaiKouhai
2021-10-06 22:00:10 +0000 UTCEpisode 2 is my favorite. It is just so much fun and I can watch it over and over.
e com
2021-10-06 21:37:03 +0000 UTCI agree with eric the starlord name makes no sense for tchalla and i was actually disappointed how easily they handled ultron and EGO like everything in everyones universe was a happy ending and it was disappointing
2021-10-06 21:20:42 +0000 UTCI say either dr strange or the finale dr strange from a story standpoint or the finale from a action standpoint
spencer
2021-10-06 21:13:00 +0000 UTCThere is something so menacing about Infinity Ultron. The stakes in episode 8 were higher than ever before and the ramifications of his actions were truly felt across the inifinite universes.
2021-10-06 21:08:00 +0000 UTCThe Strange episode imo was possibly the best thing Marvel Studios have ever produced. The show was decent, but that episode was levels above
Chris
2021-10-06 20:59:03 +0000 UTCIf I had to pick three... I would. But because this is a Blind Wave poll, and because I don't wanna break the rules of the poll, and because I don't want the guys to hate me for breaking the rules, I shall answer with pride. The Doctor Strange one, cuz love.
MarkIsDaBoss
2021-10-06 20:58:40 +0000 UTCStange beats out Ultron and "Dead Avengers", but just by a small margin. I enjoyed the action of Ultron and the twist of Dead Avengers, but Strange's episode was more cerebral.
SonOfDarkHelmet
2021-10-06 20:56:11 +0000 UTCIf it wasnt for Strange I would've voted for episode 2
Joel
2021-10-06 20:49:12 +0000 UTCI liked the fun adventure of Starlord T’Challa. I’m inclined to think we’ll have a team up every season but I think it’d also be cool just to see if the watcher has any consequences for breaking his oath.
Cal
2021-10-06 20:48:47 +0000 UTC8 and 9 don't feel fair to say because its bringing all the previous episodes together. The stand alone episode for me was definitely Dr Strange
Josh Bornman
2021-10-06 20:47:40 +0000 UTC4 was riffing on the greatest anime of all time in Steinsgate so no wonder its popular
Jack Kelly
2021-10-06 20:44:08 +0000 UTCEpisode 7&3 were the best, episode 4 was boring, y’all are tasteless
Talulabelle
2021-10-06 20:43:01 +0000 UTCBest to worst in my opinion: Dr Strange Starlord T'challa Dead Avengers Party Thor Finale Ultron won Zombies Captain Carter Killmonger Overall I feel this series was wasted potential
Jack Kelly
2021-10-06 20:39:49 +0000 UTCWhat if…Ultron won? was a visual spectacle, but my favorite was the Doctor Strange episode, and, in my opinion, the best writing of the whole season.
John M
2021-10-06 20:38:44 +0000 UTCThe best? Probably Strange. My favorite? Probably Starlord T’Challa, Killmonger, or the Finale. It’s hard to choose!
Jordan Malloy
2021-10-06 20:38:23 +0000 UTCFor me, it's Strange. I'm not the biggest fan of the character, so for that one to really click with me, they did something right.
Michael De Tie
2021-10-06 20:38:20 +0000 UTCThe Doctor Strange episode is LEAGUES above the rest.
