Ranking the Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies from Worst to Best

Okay, here goes nothing.

Honestly, if it was my call, and let’s be real, it should be… this would top the charts right away. Yeah, sure, the plot feels like a tangled mess, and people say Spider-Man: Homecoming nails multiverse cameos way better, plus, character development kinda got left in the dust. I get it, alright? But think about it this way: if you grew up obsessed with Evil Dead 2, this film hits different. Trust me on this.

Multiverse of Madness, I argue (and who doesn’t love a good argument?), is basically Evil Dead 4. Seriously, all the pieces fit! Obviously, Sam Raimi’s the guy behind the camera – same genius who gave us the original Evil Dead stuff, not to mention Drag Me to Hell and Spider-Man from 2002. So, we’re off to a promising start there. And oh, his Oldsmobile Delta 88 makes a comeback (yep, the car from Evil Dead, don’t you dare forget). Then there’s Bruce Campbell making a guest appearance, plus that classic camera zoom that screams danger is lurking – staple vibes from Evil Dead. Some folks might roll their eyes, but let’s face it – it’s a horror flick!

Sam Raimi slipped a horror movie right under the MCU’s nose. I kid you not. When I watched these MCU films with my ten-year-old, this was the only one where he begged to stop. Too freaky for him. So there you have it. It’s as if it wears a horror movie’s mask, holds its bones, dances its dance. It’s got these honestly creepy moments!

But the real kicker, though? Bruce Campbell stepping in as Pizza Poppa. Picture this: Chavez is munching on a pizza roll, and Strange zaps him into squeezing mustard on his own face and punching himself. Straight up nod to Evil Dead 2 when Ash’s hand goes rogue. There’s your Evil Dead 4 right there. Anyone moaning about Wanda’s role? Irrelevant! That’s just noise to me. So yeah, that’s my spiel, take it or leave it. —John Walker
