6. Iron Man 2

As the absolute high point of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Iron Man 2 is a groundbreaking cinematic achievement.

Its world-building is unparalleled. It forces in tons of characters who don’t really do anything in the movie; they’re just in there so they can show up in future movies.

And the pathos!!!!! Mickey Rourke and his bird…my Lord, what a gripping relationship. Will someone bring his bird? WILL THEY? I simply had to know. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. What a glorious achievement.

The film lacks the boring character development of the first movie and avoids all the annoyingly clever dialogue and interesting plot elements from the third film. Rather, it creates the perfect blend of things that happen and words that characters say.

And that scene at the donut shop, during which Iron Man sits in the big donut? What a laugh riot! Almost peed my pants over that one.

5. Green Lantern

This is inarguably Ryan Reynolds’s finest film. It’s such a shame that he had to debase himself by following up this masterpiece with those silly Death-Pool films, or whatever they’re called. For this…this is high art.

Reynolds plays ace pilot Hal Jordan, who’s given a magic space ring so he can go fight a big space poo and a man with a large-ish head. Along the way, he begins an improper employer-employee relationship, and learns how to use the ring to make sweet Hot Wheels tracks.

But I really want to draw your attention to the film’s use of symbolism. You see, Hal Jordan is attractive, so they pit him against Hector Hammond, who is very…not attractive. You see the duality, right? So clever. In addition, Parallax is the embodiment of fear, so he looks like a large poo, which symbolizes humankind’s greatest fear of all: the fear of death. For, as we all know, when you die, you poop your pants.

I honestly feel that this film went right over a lot of people’s heads.
