So scenes after the credits of movies is nothing new, but the MCU has kind of made it into
a staple of their films.
Yes other superhero movies do it too, but no one does it quite like Marvel.
And some of those scenes are better than others, so today I thought I'd go through all of
them and rank them subjectively from best to worst.
Also, I won't be including the end credit scenes from Black Panther here, cuz a lot
of people may not have seen that movie yet.
But those end credits scenes wouldn't be super high on the list, cuz they didn't
exactly blow me away.
So, spoilers for the end credits of every other MCU movie so far, alright, let's get
into it.
Ok, kicking it off, number 29 with the worst we've got Thor The Dark World, where Thor
comes back to Earth, kisses Jane, and then there's a frost giant monster thing running
around.
What was the point?
Nothing, we already knew Thor was comin back, it wasn't really funny or informative and
kinda just feels like they forgot they needed an extra scene so they tagged it on.
Only interesting thing about this is that that's not actually Natalie Portman, it's
Chris Hemsworth's wife dressed up like Natalie Portman.
And even that's not that interesting.
Ok, the next two I'm grouping together as the footage from the next movie ones.
In Ant-Man we got a little clip of Cap and Falcon talking and Falcon's like, I know
a guy, and then in Captain America The First Avenger Cap talks to Fury and then literally
just a trailer for the Avengers plays.
Not awful teases, but the fact that they're literally just scenes taken from the next
movie feels kinda cheap.
You may say it's not important and I'm over analyzing these, to that I say, well
what do you want from me, that's what this whole video's point is.
Next up, Winter Soldier, we see Bucky going to the Smithsonian to learn more about his
past.
I mean, it's fine.
But really it's just something we already knew, yeah he's going to discover more about
himself….ok.
Ok, we got Iron Man 3 next.
Being the first MCU movie after the Avengers this whole movie was kind of plagued by the
question….if the president of the United States is kidnapped by fire breathing terrorists,
shouldn't like Captain America or all of SHIELD be all over that?
But nope, no Avengers show up until the end of the credits when it's revealed that that
classic Shane Black narration the whole movie has actually been Tony talking to Bruce in
a counselling session.
It's kind of funny, just nothing that exciting, and also this is from that weird phase where
I don't think Marvel knew what it wanted to do in terms of teaming up heroes post-Avengers.
Next one is the Spider-Man scene from the end of Civil War.
Nothing much to say here because it's sort of just, hey Spidey's gonna come back soon.
And he's gonna have cool new tech.
And in a small way that scene is kind of undercut because it's showing off this amazing suit
which ultimately the whole message of Spidey's own movie was he had to be more than.
So you know, it's here in thee ranking.
Then there's the first one from Thor Ragnarok, which a lot of people might have thought would
be higher.
But the thing is, while it's a cool tie in to Infinity War since I assume that's
where that movie's gonna start, it's not super clear what that ship is initially.
Like I get that the point is it's an ominous threat coming for Thor and Loki, and I was
like, yeah odds are that's probably Thanos.
But correct me if I'm wrong, we've never seen Thanos use that ship before.
So when I was sitting in the cinema, I was like, that's probably Thanos, but the fact
that I'm not 100% sure make me think maybe it isn't.
Turns out it is, but that just ended up not being as great of a reveal and I think it
was intended.
Next I've got one of many mid credits scenes from
Guardians 2, this being the Stan Lee watcher informant thing.
That is one of my favorite Stan Lee cameos, since it pokes fun at the popular fan theory
that he is the watcher.
Also I still stand by that he's referring to that time he was a mailman in Fantastic
Four and not in Civil War because technically this movie takes place before Civil War and
oh my god why am I looking so much into this.
Anyway it's a funny joke but by the time it gets to the end here, ehhh kind of had worn
out a bit.
Still I do enjoy the idea that the Watchers have already gotten tired of hearing his endless
stories.
The Incredible Hulk is easily my least favorite MCU movie.
The end credits scene though is kinda cool though, it's Tony Stark showing up and talking
to General Ross.
Back in 2008 it was a good way of showing people that these movies are connected, and
later on fun fact it was reckoned to be part of a Marvel One Shot where Tony is sent by
SHIELD to go be as obnoxious to Ross as possible so he won't put the Abomination on the Avengers
team.
It also sets up a life long feud between Tony and Ross….I guess.
Another Guardians 2 one next, this one in my notes I just
titled Stallone team.
It's Stallone's Ravager guy who's name I refuse to remember or attempt to pronounce
getting his crew back together to go have crazy space adventures probably in Guardians
3.
Among his team is Lex Luthor, Marcellus Wallace, and Miley Cyrus….for some reason.
So yeah, expect to see more of these people in the near future in the MCU.
Next up, Doctor Strange, specifically the Thor one.
Now again, don't love when just a scene is taken from one movie and put as a teaser
at the end, but this one was pretty great.
I mean seeing Doctor Strange coming into the Avengers world is fun, plus we see that Loki
and Odin are also involved.
Only real problem with it is that it sort of spoils Doctor Strange's cameo in Ragnarok.
Like if you went into Ragnarok having not seen this, and they hadn't put it in some
TV spot which they really shouldn't have,that would've been such an awesome and pleasant
surprise, so that's why it's not super high on the list.
Alright, then there was Age of Ultron, where Thanos just shows up and grabs the Infinity
Gauntlet.
One of the main things I liked about this is that I freaking called it in one of my
earlier videos, so that's kind of amazing.
Besides that, it's ok.
It showed us that Thanos has the gauntlet and he's coming for Earth, in 3 years, but
it did also feel a little bit like another repetition of the first Avengers, which the
rest of the film had a bit of as well.
We've got two Thor ones next.
Thor 1 showed us the first of many many many Loki death fake outs, revealing Loki's still
alive and coming for that tesseract.
Cool cool, he's one of the best MCU villains.
And then Thor 2 gave us our first glimpse into the Guardians of the Galaxy world with
the Collector showing up.
I remember the director of Thor 2 being mad about this scene cuz it was directed by James
Gunn and not him and then just shoved into his movie.
I mean, I couldn't tell it was directed by James Gunn.
It was also kind of fun since it's one of the few times we've seen the Avengers world
and the Guardians world crossing over.
Alright, next are two that aren't very important or anything, but they genuinely made me laugh.
Guardians 2 with Kraglin trying out Yondu's arrow *clip* and Thor Ragnarok when Jeff Goldblum
is surrounded by the people of Sakaar.
Both got a laugh out of me, plus Jeff Goldblum might be the funniest part of Thor Ragnarok
overall so seeing just a little more of him was very welcome.
Another Guardians 2 one, the gold people create Adam Warlock, who presumably is going to come
to blows with the Guardians in the third film.
It's a fun tease, but having not read a ton of Adam Warlock comics or just Marvel
comics in general, I don't know a ton about him so this didn't hit me as it might someone
who's been reading these for years.
Doctor Strange, Chiwetel Ejiofor's goes to this guy and he's
like, I'm evil now!
Sure, still waiting on that Doctor Strange sequel, would love to see some more of that
action.
Ant-Man, Hank gives Hope the Wasp suit.
I mostly like this cuz I'm just really looking forward to seeing Ant-Man and the Wasp teaming
up in July.
Don't love the suit's design but hey, so far it looks like it's gonna be great
in action.
Another Civil War one is here, this being the Black Panther one.
This would've been a bit lower on the list if I hadn't actually see Black Panther.
Seeing it in the cinema, yeah alright the Wakandans have Bucky, and there's a giant
panther, alright.
But T'Challa's line *clip* once you've actually seen everything that Wakanda has
and all the tech and weaponry and whatnot, it makes it way cooler.
I guess that's kinda cheating, but whatever, this is my video and I'm saying that's
a legitimate reason.
Now a little break from all this recent stuff and back to phase 1 with Iron Man 2.
In case you forgot here we see Phil Coulson arriving in New Mexico to discover Thor's
hammer.
Look, I'm not sure if when Iron Man 2 came out people knew the next movie would be Thor.
If they didn't, then that would be a really awesome reveal for Marvel fans.
If they did....well it's a still a pretty fun tease.
Captain America The Winter Soldier had an ok scene but also had another one that was
a lot cooler.
This was the first time we were introduced to the Maximoff twins, who have gone on to
do….great things?
Regardless, it was fun to see two new superheroes with interesting superpowers introduced to
the MCU, some more confusing than others.
Also it showed us that HYDRA has Loki's scepter….somehow, because of some guy infiltrating
some base in some spinoff comic, look it's a solid scene.
Another Guardians 2 one, if you forgot yes Guardians 2 had 5 end credits scenes, somehow.
Anyway the best of them I think is Teen Groot.
Not only is it funny, but it also introduced us to the version of Groot will be seeing
more of in the next movie, and I just really enjoy the Groot dynamic of him always been
a different age and really a different character for each movie.
Looking forward to see what he's like next movie.
Also, for the nerds in the audience like myself it shows how Guardians 2 actually takes place
in 2014 and that going into Infinity War the Guardians have been going on adventures for
several years now, which adds some more to the team.
Ok, I'm gonna put the first Spider-Man Homecoming one next, which kind of surprised me because
I thought it was just ehh pretty standard when I first saw it.
But rewatching the whole movie again and then seeing that scene, it's pretty great.
Firstly it sets up a future potential villain who actually seems kind of terrifying in that
guy from Better Call Saul, but more importantly it shows ultimately that the Vulture, one
of the best villains in the entire MCU, gets somewhat redeemed.
This shows pretty well one of the reasons why the Vulture was such an awesome villain,
he wasn't some crazy guy who wanted to destroy the world, he was a normal guy who ran a business
who wouldn't let anyone mess with it.
And once he sees Peter actually saved his life he does the right thing and doesn't
give him up, it's just a nice conclusion to a great character in that movie.
Plus, hey it means there's a chance we'll see him pop up again, so that's exciting.
Next 2 I'm gonna group into the category of Marvel's "Fuck You end credits scenes".
First up, also from Homecoming, there's Captain America basically making fun of the
audience for staying through the credits.
Then arguably the worst Marvel movie character of all time Howard the Duck showing up at
the end of Guardians when everyone was expecting an Avengers 2 tease.
After all of these films and all these fun teases, yeah sometimes the funniest ones are
the ones that are the most intentionally underwhelming.
Plus the knowledge that Howard the Duck exists in the MCU is….interesting to say the least.
The number 3 and number 2 spots, I gotta give it to the Avengers scenes.
Imma say the shawarma one first, because it's super funny and kind of like the last two
part of what makes it great is you wait a long time and then it's just the most underwhelming
thing.
And then the Thanos one.
Now look, on the surface, it's not super different from the other standard next movie
set ups.
But looking at it now, 6 years later, it's pretty great that they set up the big bad
of this universe that was going to be at the culmination way way back so he was already
kind of in people's minds back then.
Seeing the Avengers take him on now after so many years, that makes that scene pretty
cool.
Also for comics fans it must've been pretty crazy.
Sure it's not Josh Brolin but hey, he looks like a big raisin, he looks like a big raisin,
it's close enough.
Aaaaand the best one, you all saw it coming but the first is the best.
Iron Man, with Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury showing up and talking about the Avengers.
Look, this was pretty cool for me to see all these years later knowing what comes after
with the Avengers and the MCU and everything, and it would've been high up on my list
anyway.
But the main thing that pushes this to the top is thinking for the people who saw this
movie in 2008, especially people who were fans of the comics, seeing this promise of
these characters coming together in this awesome stinger, and then watching it all unfold over
the next several years, it must've been the coolest thing in the world, and I wish
I'd been able to experience that.
Also, Sam Jackson as Nick Fury, perfect casting, especially since they designed him in the
ultimate comics based on Jackson.
So yeah, I know it's a cliche choice, but you gotta admit, it's pretty awesome.
So those were my thoughts on the MCU end credit scenes.
