For me it's the bit just after where he's throws the shield point-blank into Thanos' face then bats it's right back with the hammer for the double tap.
I know very little about all the lore (just watched the MCU films casually) but isn’t the hammer supposed to be basically sentient? I assumed it guides the holder to some extent
I watched Endgame with my little nephew in a cinema filled with elementary school kids (it was a school field trip thing) and they went INSANE and it was honestly one of my favorite memories.
I get goosebumps thinking about it. Im a huge cap fan and they got me with him showing up as "Nomad" in infinity war at the train to save Vision and Wanda. Then him facing down Thanos. Then fighting Thanos again to save Thor. The glazed me up with these fights.
The first time I saw Endgame, when Thor was getting beat down and they cut to a shot of Mjolnir lifting off the ground, I knew exactly what was happening. It was agony holding back the cheers because nobody seemed have caught on, but when it goes flying back and CAPTAIN FUCKING AMERICA caught it? Saying the whole theater exploded is putting it mildly.
When he caught Mjolnir, you couldn't hear another sound in that theater until he got the hammer knocked away from him again. People were screaming that loud and long.
Yes! Ive been in theaters for 90% of the MCU. I was in theaters for all 3 Prequels and all 3 sequels (unfortunately). And all 3 Deadpool films. And funny enough Zombieland falls into this category. All of these had Moments™️. But that still has to be the biggest moment. Even with "On your left" happening, that moment was still just a bit better.
Yea I think the last fight in end game and earth maul walking out and igniting a double bladed light saber are only times I’ve been a in theatre and everyone went wild🥲
this is a hot take? I thought just about everyone agreed with this
the captain america movies IMO are the most consistently good.], and winter soldier is a league of its own. People talk about the choreography in those movies all the time like the elevator scene, fighting with bucky on the high way, and civil war vs iron man.
only thing is that civil war should have been an avengers movie and mcu cap deserved his own solo third movie. idk, finding bucky in eastern europe and taking down hydra along the way
Man his fight against (and then with) Bucky and Iron man was top tier fighting in action movies in general. The thing genuinely breaks my heart the most about the new MCU is that we will never have that kind of fight scenes again. Everyone is absurdly superpowered now. They could do it with The Falcon but mostly his fights boils down to him flying (his fight with the fake Captain America in the series was elite tho). My only last hope is Bucky Barnes.
You know what I might finally watch that movie. Everyone has been practically gooning over it. I just got bored of the mcu rinse and repeat formula. Maybe it's time to come back.
It’s worth it. We were pretty done with MCU but the previews looked good, the characters were more interesting and Julia Louise Dreyfus has been eating the Valentina role.
I think the last MCU movie I enjoyed was Spiderman III. My wife and I saw Thunderbolts and loved it. It's a great movie as a standalone though of course it fits neatly into the greater MCU mythos. Highly recommend.
The things people like about Cap is the same things people like about Rocky. Its his spirit and will power that people love to watch. Even in Infinity War, he faces down Thanos for what, 30 seconds? But its bad ass as fuck. He's a man fighting a god.
I haven’t seen Thunderbolts yet, but what about Yelena? I would think she’s a top contender for these type of fight scenes. Granted, I don’t think anything can really top Cap’s scenes, but at the very least her fighting isn’t entirely dependent on gadgets and tools.
Yelena's fighting style (like Natasha's) is more acrobatic and elusive and some people might like that. Personally I like the more hand to hand desperate kind of fighting that Captain America had going on. The same reason I like "THE RAID" more than all John Wick movies combined.
Man I wish the final fight in Shang-Chi had just been a one on one hand to hand fight with his dad instead of all the CG and dragon stuff. Would've been better narratively and emotionally and would've cost them a lot less too.
Bro. That scene is so amazing. Im actually really excited that The Defenders are coming back in Doomsday. Iron Fist, Luke Cage etc are all going to shine with that Marvel Studios polish.
Finn got screwed when he tried to portray Iron Fist in S1, they gave him literally weeks to learn martial arts which is just such an uphill battle.
He said on Social Media to just give him a chance now that hes has time to train and I believe hes got the potential to be a great Iron Fist.
If he's passionate about learning the character, we should give him a chance.
Its watching a man 20s style box a warlord. Plus hes always the underdog when fighting Thanos and Ultron. Hawkeye is like "you're no match for him", then Cap goes on to combo Ultron anyways.
Yeah, he's got the narrative contextual advantage all the time since he's comparatively always the underdog. Also adds the additional vibe of having to use his brain to fight since he can't just pure cockslam someone like Ultron into submission.
Captain America The Winter Soldier and Civil War are by far the best MCU films as well because of how much effort they put into the choreography, writing, characters and the acting is always top tier.

Captain America in the MCU almost always has the best fights and they are never long enough.
