Facebook Poll: What's the best Superhero film of the 21st Century?
This poll's a little different than just grabbing titles off of Rotten Tomatoes. Since the genre is fairly diverse, several films (for better or worse) have very vocal discussion about them, and the MCU's house style dominating the top of RT's rankings, I compiled this list myself (with a curveball or two ;-))
*The Dark Knight is not on here for reasons that will become apparent in about 2 weeks

Also, this is the first poll I've participated in or noticed (don't go on Facebook at all if it's on there).

I use them to promote engagement to posts on our FB page and get more traffic to the site, but you don't have to use FB to participate, obviously. I will say that I've been posting one or more every week in this forum for nearly two months, now. Also please remember to actually cast your vote in the poll ;-)

Several people, including both the director and star, have made the argument that Drive is a stealth superhero film. It features a protagonist in an iconic outfit who only goes by an alias with a preternatural ability fighting crime. It even features the Spider-Man structure of "hero uses his skills for personal gain until he's struck by loss and decides on a more selfless path". One of the curveballs, I mentioned.

I'd say Endgame is actually much closer to Rise of Skywalker ;-). Honestly, I think Endgame just has a lot more fanservice and "wow" moments, as well as not ending on a cliffhanger that any audience knows can't last, like Infinity War.

Special 2006
I love this film. It's a bittersweet tale of life, loneliness, expectancy, and fulfilment.
The acting is superb, the storyline is original. The director gives the audience all the information in a concise way, enabling the viewers to immediately understand the scenario, and be able to both laugh at and sympathise with the protagonist throughout the rest of the movie.
Rapaport is incredible. His performance is under-stated and fits the character and the situation like a glove.
There is nothing wrong with this film at all. It's clever, it's funny, it's sad, and most of all, it's entertaining. I could watch this film over and over again. I was touched in the end. This is a lovely film.

Iron Man (2008)...still my most favorite after a miserable theater experience. the one that really started it all and i just love it, which isn't to say i don't love love most others in franchise, but this one had me thrilled and even watched the 2-hour making of doc on bluray edition, which i never do...

That's a very very broad topic. 20 years is a long time for the super hero genre.
For ne it's a combination of Infinity War/Endgame. You will never see a massive superhero team-up like that ever again.
I still get chills and the hair on the back of my neck still sticks up for the climatic battle sequence in Endgame.
There's some bonkers fan reaction videos that were taken by cell phone when this premiered back in April for that climatic sequence. I still remember by theatre losing their minds.
