Marvel fans have taken to Reddit to share their MCU hot takes and unpopular opinions – and some are a lot spicier than others.

The thread starts off piping hot, with one fan writing, "I'll go first..... out of the 37 MCU films so far Captain America: Winter Soldier is the only one that made me fall asleep (twice...I tried on the 3rd time because I was determined to know what was going on and finish the movie)."

Someone else thought that Vincent D'Onofrio's Daredevil villain Wilson Fisk was getting a little tired. "Love Vincent, but we’ve had 3 out of 4 seasons of [Daredevil] focusing on the rise / taking down Fisk, it started to get a bit stale," they said.

Others were voicing appreciation for generally unpopular projects. "Eternals is good, goddammit," one user wrote, while another replied, "Agreed. Maybe the most visually stunning. And most philosophically interesting in that there's a legit argument that the planet destroying adversary was in the right."

"She-Hulk was probably the most accurate show to the character to people who have actually read her comics," pointed out someone else.

"Avengers: Endgame isn't as good as Infinity War, but the final battle is better!" wrote another fan, bucking the opinion trend that the culmination of the Infinity Saga is the best Avengers movie.

"The MCU hasn't fallen off, there's always been misses," wrote someone else, highlighting recent criticisms of Marvel Phase 5. "People wanted different, were given different, then bitched. They don't want diversity."

Next up for the MCU is Eyes of Wakanda, which arrives on Disney Plus on August 1. The four-part animated anthology series follows Wakandan warriors throughout history as they embark on perilous missions to retrieve Vibranium artifacts.

Meanwhile, on the big screen, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is out now in theaters. For more on the movie, check out our guide to the Fantastic Four: First Steps post-credits scenes, or our spoiler-free Fantastic Four: First Steps review.
