I've seen every Marvel movie in the theatre (except black widow and eternals) and have been a comic collecter for 30 plus years. The Marvels was one of my favorites, in fact I rank it number 9 overall in the MCU. Absolutely wonderful tone, pacing and humor. It let you get to know the characters, made them relatable and was action packed. To top it off, it set up the next several years of the MCU. The end scene and the Mid Credit scene are exciting and we can all be excited about what is coming down the line, but this movie on it's own is better than most of phase 1-3 as is.
