Pick two to advance!

[Spider-Dan]

Playtime has ended.  Heavy hitters from here on out in the MCU bracket.

Winter Soldier is getting a vote from me as long as it's still standing.  My position on GOTG is thoroughly documented.  Avengers gets huge props for pulling off what would have been unthinkable, but Endgame ultimately gets my vote for being the culmination of that and so much more.

[Tenshot13]

Avengers and Endgame for me. 

[Sunstroke]

Avengers was an obvious pick. I flipped a mental coin between Endgame and Winter Soldier, and Winter Soldier gets my vote.

[Dave Gray]

Winter Soldier is a really good film and, like Spider, I will be voting for it again and again...maybe not until the end, but pretty close.

It's really between Avengers and Endgame for me, and I think that for as much as Endgame does right, it's more of a cinematic spectacle than a great, great movie.  Because it's got so many characters, it can't serve them all and it's bloated.  I don't think you can help it, but that's the trade off. 

Avengers really is the total package.  It does the team-up, but still gives each character their moment and growth.

[Brian Fein]

This is really not fair.

Voting has ended!  Avengers and Endgame advance to the next round.
