In this final entry of the series, we look back at the entire MCU in light ofInfinity War.
Seventeen weeks later, weve finally reached the end of the Marvel Movie Club.
When I left the theater, I had the urge to re-readCrisis on Infinite EarthandInfinity Gauntlet.

The MCU means a lot to me, even when Im frustrated with it.
Ive said this before, but its still insane that this is actually a thing.
(In 2008,Smallvillehas taught me to keep my expectations and hopes in check.)

And yet, here it is!
Its kind of insane that hes the one thing that survived that mostly ignored movie.
Honestly, good on Hurt for getting that Marvel movie.

4.Thoranswered the question, Is there a point to Hawkeye?
The answer is no.
In hindsight, Hawkeyes silly cameo inThorwas a sign of things to come.

I honestly feel like we wouldnt lose that much if Hawkeye was erased from the MCU.
And its not like his absence was felt in the actual movie anyway.
Hopefully,Captain Marvelsmid-90s settingwill help distinguish it from the MCUs other solo origin movies.

AndInfinity Warspost-credits scenemade me even more excited for Brie Larsons debut as Captain Marvel.
8.Captain America: The Winter Soldieris still my favorite MCU movie.
I cant end this series without addressing the most obvious question: Which MCU movie is the best?
In other words, it ends up being about the MCU without forgetting to tell a compelling story.
