Nice, 3 characters, out of what, 30 movies and a hundred characters?
Hey, you implied there are none.
I can think of some others, uhh... Hulk is living embodiment of self doubt and moral dilemma, although his story kind of drifted since Ragnarok.
Peter Quill is one of the better characters as far as self doubts and hiding behind a facade is concerned. Rocket, too. Guardians cast in itself is very good imo
Thor 3 is a pure comedy with barely any plot, it is actually very similar to the plot of Iron Man 3 for what happens.
Gotta disagree with this. Dude loses his father straight off, loses his hammer (which he considered source of his power), loses easily to his evil sister and is plunged into some space dimension while his home is ravaged by the aforementioned sister.
Defeated, lost, and just full of doubt. He slowly learns that it's not the hammer which gives him power, but he's the source of his own might. Finds his true self, and the entire scene with Odin in his "dream" is also very nice. The power-up sequence in Ragnarok was cherry on top.
And even then, he has to make hard decision of watching Asgard fall and escape with survivors. Becoming true King and heir to Odin at the end, finally coming full circle from the very first scene of the movie as he takes the throne.
Ragnarok was awesome underneath all that comedy. But Ragnarok was not the full story- it was supposed to set Thor up as the main character of Infinity War. When you watch both back to back, it's the best succession in all of MCU imo.
Avengers 1 was, compared to Infinity war, a cohesive and coherent story which was also original, tying up movies in a cool way.
Infinity war is a stretch of a movie with cool bits, but except for a cool main villan with a stupid dream, which butchers the original Marvel character giving him a plan that doesn't make any sense and making no sense of the actions of the past, like why Thanos is sending minions to fail again and again intead of low diffing the universe.
Thanos can't low-diff the universe. He didn't even have any stones outside of one lol. And he still had to wait for a lot of things to happen; for instance, Odin's fall.
I disagree that Infinity War doesn't tie up prior movies though. Ragnarok leading into Infinity War is one of the best two movie chain. It also ties up Civil War and finally brings all the Avengers back together. And Wakanda being the main fight zone is also a nod to Black Panther.
Both Guardians of Galaxy 1 and Guardians of Galaxy 2 were irrelevant to MCU timeline, until Infinity War came and tied them up in a big way.
Thor 2, Dr. Strange, Age of Ultron, etc, all introduced one Infinity Stone at a time and led to Infinity War, too.
IW was the entire lead-up of Cour 2 and Cour 3. Every single movie led up to it in some way (other than maybe Ant Man)
