Age of MCU: 6 Most Satisfying Moments Of The Marvel Cinematic Universe

3. Avengers Assembled

There’s a reason Avengers Assemble is the most popular and successful movie of the MCU. It finally gathers together Earth’s Mightiest Heroes after watching them go solo for so long. The small problem with the film is that it took forever to get the heroes to work together as a team to save the planet. The first 80% of the movie involves the heroes bickering on the Helicarrier or fighting amongst themselves. It’s not until the big battle at the climax that we see them actually assemble. Watching that scene for the first time was like taking a big bite of pizza after going on a diet for three months. It’s like jumping into a refreshing pool after working in the hot sun all day. It’s simply beautiful.

2. Hulk vs. Loki

Pop quiz: What is the Incredible Hulk known for? Answer: smashing. The Hulk smashes. That’s what he does. He did plenty of smashing in his own film and throughout Avengers Assemble, but for some reason, none of those scenes are as satisfying as the moment when he takes on Loki. The first time I saw the scene, I didn’t know what to expect. Loki tries to talk down to the giant green monster, as if that would work, and promptly gets tossed around like an Asgardian ragdoll. Loki’s been a villainous jackass the entire film and finally gets his comeuppance. The Hulk has been dishing out his own brand of justice on the Chitauri soldiers around the city. Now what happens when you combine these two elements? You get this:

1. Spider-Man’s Return

The Internet has been abuzz with rumours and speculation since the recent announcement of Spider-Man entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Up until now, Spidey has been restricted to Sony’s established universe. This has angered fans who have desperately pleaded for the web-slinger to join forces with the Avengers. Now that it’s been confirmed that he’s part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we can look forward to a plethora of possibilities to properly explore his storylines. If you thought the MCU was excellent up until now, you’re going to be pleasantly surprised at what the future holds in store. With great Spider-Man comes great films. Wait…

We’re roughly halfway through the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which means we still have a lot to look forward to over the next couple of years. The past couple of movies have given us incredible and memorable scenes that will stick in our minds for years to come. I can only imagine what satisfying moments we’ll witness in the future.
