[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 308912, member: 5079"] For my money, Chris Evans is the most perfectly cast of the MCU heroes. He looks like he leapt out of a comic book, just as Christopher Reeve and Lynda Carter had. That isn't the case with most of the MCU actors. RDJ is great, but he doesn't look or act like any version of Tony Stark I was familiar with from comics; he developed a new version of the character around his own persona. I had paid virtually no attention to these films at the time of their release; I hadn't seen any of them in theaters. Despite my love of comic books, the idea of super hero films mostly seemed like fools' gold. Sure, every so often there'd be a great film or two, but mostly they were awful; and even the good franchises turned to dreck after a movie or two. The MCU seemed like a folly. I'm [I]still[/I] incredulous that they pulled it off. With some minor adjustments, so far your rankings are fairly aligned with my own. [/QUOTE]
