## Resource

We survived the “good years”… but now things get weird . Welcome to Part 2 of our CineTiers MCU deep dive , where the gloves come off, the timelines split, and the phrase “it’s canon somewhere” gets used far more than it should. Picking up from Endgame , we dive headfirst into Marvel’s bold (and occasionally baffling) next chapter – ranking everything from Phase 4 onwards, right up to the latest release, including the long-awaited arrival of Fantastic Four . Yes, we went there. This is the era of the multiverse . The era of Disney+ crossovers . The era of “wait… do I need to watch a series before this makes sense?” Dan is still fighting the good fight for Marvel supremacy. Rach is… having a fantastic time tearing it all down. Dale remains the diplomatic middle ground, desperately trying to keep the tiers from descending into pure chaos. As before, every film is ranked into our sacred CineTiers (S–E) – but this time, expect more disagreements, more hot takes, and at least one ranking that may legally qualify as a hate crime (cinematically speaking). Is the MCU still the king of blockbuster cinema… or has the crown started to slip into another dimension? There’s only one way to find out. Which group of films do you want to see us cover next?
