Ranking

Entertainment Weekly puts the two Captain America films at the top of its list of Marvel Cinematic Universe films.

Is it because they are inherently awesome? Because they have great action sequences? Or because they are the Hero films and that's what people want?

The Avengers (#3) is the real  Crisis situation,  and Iron Man (#4, with Iron Man 3 at #5) is a total Nomad tale.  Continuing through the list, the stories become less certain - Hulk is a Nomad forced to be a Hero, Thor is a Hero made up like a Nomad - so they don't work as well.

Thinking of those, it might be less that Captain America is a Hero and more that he is allowed to be one. By being true to the character, the story comes through better than in some of the others.
