Pick two to advance!

Infinity War and Iron Man... pretty easy choice here.  I'm kind of surprised that both Civil War and Endgame are rated higher than their prequels; I like both Winter Soldier and Infinity War more.

Someone mentioned in another thread that Guardians of the Galaxy made stars out of obscure characters, but it should be noted that Iron Man was also a B-tier Marvel property, not unlike Aquaman or Green Lantern for DC.  RDJ's amazing performance almost singlehandedly turned Iron Man into one of the most famous superheroes on the planet, right up there with Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man.

No doubt RDJ made Iron man, and you're right he was B tier before.  In fact Iron Man was one of my least favorites before RDJ.

I went with Infinity War and Homecoming.  Infinity War is in my top 3 favorite movies, and Homecoming is my favorite take on Spiderman to date.

I went with Homecoming and Iron Man.  Infinity War was alright but it was a lot going on without being able to reign it in.

I'm not really impressed by the MCU Spider-Man movies.  They have Iron Man story arcs.

I don't know if a Peter Parker movie should be about having an amazing piece of technology, losing it and proving to yourself that you can do it on your own, and then getting even newer and better technology.  It's like he's Teen Iron Man.

Voting has ended!  Infinity War and Iron Man advance to the next round.
