I was absolutely fascinated by the city fight scene in Doctor Strange when they're bending the entire world. I have a LOT of scenes from the movies that I like, but that was the first one I thought of. Though in addition my next favorite scene is probably the fight on the Rainbow Bridge in Thor 3.
Fun fact, Dark Phoenix is the last Movie under Fox to be released, although there may be more through Marvel/Disney. Early projections don't look good. Lol. Let's hope they exceed expectations.
There is zero possibility that Marvel doesn't reboot the X-Men to eventually fold them into the MCU. Dark Phoenix could make all the money in the universe; the X-Men are, next to Spiderman, the signature Marvel property. I see Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool surviving the merger, but not the X-Men.
Kevin Feige has something that no one at Warner and no one at FOX has: patience. The MCU is a twenty one movie story told over ten years. We had four years of movies before we saw the Avengers on screen together. There are seven separate "franchise" movie sequences in the MCU (Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Guardians of the Galaxy, Dr. Strange, Ant Man, and Captain Marvel). Nine if you count the Hulk and Spiderman, although each of those has complications. Infinity War and End game, the culminating story, are the third and fourth Avengers movies (maybe more if you count Civil War as Avengers 2.5). With all the movies Marvel Studios makes, they show remarkable restraint in letting their characters breathe.
Meanwhile, Warner decided to make the sequel to its rebooted Superman be the movie where he fights Batman to the death, and Justice League comes out before we've really seen either the Flash, Cyborg, or Aquaman in anything anyone cares about. And while FOX didn't try to do quite as much quite so quickly, Days of Future Past only worked because it brought the old cast in. And Dark Phoenix is happening before they laid any of the groundwork required to make that story work as the tragedy the original was. (Apocalypse was, well, Apocalypse.)
In my opinion, Feige is going to want to introduce the X-Men into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And he's going to want to do so on his own terms, at his own speed, and have them grow into something over time. He's not going to want to inject them into the MCU fully formed from the FOX movies.

I loved that Scene. Also, I found Tilda Swinton to be an odd choice, but she fit.

Dr. Strange is my favorite comic book "superhero" character from my childhood. And I loved the movie. But I thought the world bending was just a tiny bit too evocative of Inception. Had I not seen that movie, I would have been enthralled. And it isn't a bad thing the movie is doing, but it is one of those things that for me that effect only gets one shot at making a first impression, and then it becomes bullet time.
The *idea* that in the MCU all of magic is really taking other dimensions and "intersecting" them with our world is a really interesting idea I hope they do more with, and it isn't just the "excuse" for magic in the MCU.

Between you, me, and everyone else who reads this-- I think a big reason I enjoyed it was because of how they did it already in Inception. That's already one of my favorite movies as it is so seeing it in a 'mirror verse' setting for MCU was interesting in its own. So I totally get what you're coming from about it! Inception definitely had that 'whoa' factor before DS dropped it into a film.

Your forgog black panther up there in the franchises. How could you
This part in infinity war was brilliant, from the chants right up to the fight itself. It’s hard to pick out the best moments from infinity war because the whole thing was done so well, but this bit always stood out to me.
I saw this thread was back to the first page, and since I’m watching Thor: Ragnarok (one of my favorite MCU entries) I wanted to add a favorite scene of mine. I love Marvel stories for the characters, the relationships, and development (or sometimes lack of) of those elements.
I really like the scene in the elevator (just before “Get help!!) when Thor and Loki are discussing what they plan to do when they escape Sakaar. It shows Thor’s growth, and Loki’s inability to do so - up until that point. When Thor tells Loki that he’s just always going to continue on in the same loop of thirst for power, only to continually fail, I think it’s in that moment that Loki realizes he can take control of his own destiny. Tom Hiddleston says more with expressions in that scene than most actors can say with a script.
Hulk smashing Loki to pulp, Thor's entrance into Wakanda in Infinity War, Portals scene in endgame, Thanos's quotes that turned into memes. Spidey entrance in Infinity War.
Oh yeah and Star Lord's dance off in Guardians of the galaxy lmao.
Ok, bending the rules a bit. From MCU - When Thor and Rocket are discussing about thor's family and he states, what more has he got to lose. Just goes to show the pain he's in. Also, Captain America's speech in Winter Soldier. From Marvel Movies - when laura changes the cross to X at Wolverine's burial. Tearjerking, goodbye to probably the 2nd most popular marvel character after spiderman and signifying that no matter what he says or does, he eas always an X-man. From the TV shows - when Punisher is telling daredevil the story behind his poem. Goddamn, there hasn't been a better scene in a long long time in TV.

Best scene of the mcu imo
My favorite of Stan Lee's cameos
Such an emotional punch.
Both my favorite quote and moments when he says it
honestly, is there a better scene than the storm breaker bi-frost bridge entrance?
