Best superhero movie of all time? (Nominations thread)

My top 5 (in no particular order) are:
  • The Incredibles
  • Captain America: the Winter Soldier
  • Big Hero 6
  • Wonder Woman
  • Batman (1989)
Of those, I think The Incredibles hasn’t aged well and is too Ayn Rand for my tastes. CA2 doesn’t stand alone, since it’s part of a bigger series. Batman is great but it’s quite eclectic and (hot take here) Jack Nicholson Joker is iconic but also hasn’t aged well.

So it’s down to BH6 and WW, so I’m going to give it to Big Hero 6, since it does putting the team together very well, I love all the characters, and the central themes (vengeance vs forgiveness and mourning) are brilliantly executed and timeless.

(I forgot - Into the Spider-Verse should be in there as well, but it still doesn’t beat Big Hero 6.)

I do unironically enjoy The Watchmen although it’s not “the best” IMO.

Veidt is great (and agree his plan is better in the movie than the graphic novel), Comedian is great, Rorschach steals the show, Dreiberg is great even though he’s kind of a schlub, original Nite Owl gets an awesome scene, Laurie (Malin Akerman) is great and HAWT, the tech in the movie looks great. It’s fun even though it’s cynical as heck.
