1. Black Widow Taking On Two Guys At Once

Okay, that doesn’t sound right, but that’s exactly what happened. When a sting in Wakanda went sideways the Russian knockout found herself taking down a pair of terrorist with the expertise that even Ronda Rousey couldn’t contest.

2. Black Panther Chasing Down The Winter Soldier

We’ve all seen parts of this sequence in the commercials but it’s still quite an experience. T’Challa wanted that fade, badly.

3. Iron Man’s Glove

The watch that turns into an iron glove was hot business.

4. The Big Fight

Once the crews were assembled and sides were taken, the stage was set for one of the greatest battle royals in cinematic history. Ant Man for the win.

5. Spider-Man’s Fight With The Falcon And Bucky Barnes

For most of the movie Bucky Barnes was handing out more fades than Brutus The Barber Beefcake, but once Spider-Man caught a punch from the Winder Soldier (coming from his metal arm no less) you knew it was going to be lit. Spider-Man: Homecoming cannot get here fast enough.

6. Captain America Finally Gets The Girl

Cue the studio audience “Woooo!” track. After years of almost getting the girl (decades in Marvel time), Steve Rodgers finally got some play from the lovely Sharon Carter (Peggy Carter’s niece). Hopefully this means he’ll soon create the beast with two backs because we’re almost sure the man is a virgin.

7. Ant-Man Turing Into Giant-Man

Marvel continuing to treat their fans like the real MVPs.

8. Captain America And Bucky Double Teaming Iron Man

When Captain and Bucky were sharing Cap’s shield to put the love on Iron Man it was like poetry in motion.

9. Captain America Lives!

After months or rumors that the Captain was gonna bite the big one (as he did in the comic book version of Civil War) it turns out that not only did the good Captain live, but he also blessed Iron Man with a direct line to get at him whenever he needs some help. That phone is sure to get burn when Thanos comes to town.

10. Wakanda

If you left as soon as the credits began to roll then you sir are a hamlet. Not only did you miss out on seeing a piece of the Black Panther’s kingdom in Wakanda (That huge stone panther was all kinds of righteousness) but you also missed out on the humorous Spider-Man after-after-credits scene.
