With only Avengies: Age of Ultron and Ant-Man left to culminate with Phase 2 of Marvel's alleged masterplan for it's cinematic universe (MCU) it's time to start warming up the hype engines. Which would you say was your favorite movie leading up to Avengies: AoU? Personally I have to go with Captain America: The Winter Soldier. While I reeeeeaaaaally liked Iron Man 3 (comic book purists be damned), Cap's movie just blew me away because I really wasn't expecting it to be this good. Honestly I wasn't expecting it to be any good at all, my mindset was more like: "So a Ken doll with a shield and the moral compass of a boy scout, booooring" until I actually watched it and boy was I wrong (and quite glad to be this wrong). So, which one did it for you? And what do you think of Phase 2 overall (so far, still AoU and Ant-Man left to go)?
