It shouldn't even be on the list. The Rocketeer isn't a superhero movie.
I disagree, I rewatch Spider-Man 2 quite often and it's still better than most other superhero films, with the possible exception of Into the Spider-Verse.
No Kick-Ass? It's got to be at least top 50. The first one that is. We can all pretend there is no Kick-Ass 2.
I have to say, I truly don't see the turnaround on Black Panther anywhere but on Era. Casual conversations, social media such as Twitter, and so on: Black Panther always comes up as a top tier MCU film, even with some issues in its final battle.
It's kind of blowing my mind.

You're not weird at all, this is the same case for me.
Black Panther had a clear impact on people who don't give a shit about marvel movies.
I think about this video a lot when conversations about Black Panther's relevance comes up. I remember this going viral back in 2018 and when my partner at the time and I saw it, it hit us pretty hard as two white people who never had to worry about being represented in our 30+ years on this planet.
That shit is important. So like, yeah, Black Panther isn't my favorite superhero movie of all time. I personally wouldn't put it at #1. But when people are shocked or laughing at the fact that it is number one on a list like this? That's wild.
20 years from now, there's a very good chance that Black Panther is still making top 5 in these lists.
If you're gonna put fucking Robocop on this list, on any list, and not have it ranked orders of magnitude higher than any throwaway Marvel bubblegum bullshit, then there's something wrong with you.
Ah, my bad. I clicked the link but only looked at the write-ups for the top ten. When I saw Batman: The Movie listed in the OP my brain just assumed they were talking about 89.
Yeah let's just ignore teenage mutant ninja turtles and Batman 89 is ranked so fucking low it's absurd
BP is #1 for impact and I'll take it. May not be a lot of comic book movies with black protags but BP, Spider-verse, and Blade 2 being up there make me smile.
Also,
I didn't go to theaters but Batman Beyond Return of the Joker should be on this list !!!!

All and all, not that bad since I can at least see the logic behind the decisions and despite individual rankings I don't agree with, I don't think it's nearly as egregious as some people are taking it.
It's kind of worth it to see how pissed off people get over their one favorite movie being snubbed for not being higher or the movie they hated getting praise.

Robocop is a superhero movie and number 22?
if it qualifies to be on the list then really it should be number 1.

Its in reality even more absurd because Batman 89 isnt on there at all.
Oh wow
I messed up mixing up the Adam west one with 1989
How the fuck did both turtles and Batman get ignored lol
Anyway half of the list isn't good
Endgame and Ragnorok really don't deserve to be top 10 and Black Panther does but probably not number 1 (although, yeah, I get it). I'd probably sub in Guardians Vol. 2 and Lego Batman. Or the original Avengers if we're going for cultural impact, which does seem to be their guiding principle for the list.
Actually, looking at the full list they have the original Avengers near the bottom and below Dark Knight Rises?!?! Insane. Insane and unhinged. One is the definitive blockbuster of its decade and the other...well, the other is Dark Knight Rises.
There are also a couple of entries here that really blur the line of being called a "superhero" movie. The Old Guard? V for Vendetta? Really? Shouldn't the first Kingsman qualify then, and be automatically in the top 10?
Although, I am glad to see Tank Girl here even if she should be much higher.

I was going to complain about no Darkman but the madlads included it. So I'll just complain about Blade 1 like everyone else.
Agreed. Into the Spiderverse is a flawless movie, IMO. Black Panther and Wonder Woman were important but flawed movies with a weak ending.
I mean it's clearly a list designed for some serious clickbait, even if I do understand opinions and all, but Robocop not even being in the top 20 is something I can't get behind.
Black Panther at #1 in the genre entirely can and obviously should be debated as there's a handful of films that are equally as good or better but it is, certainly, the best MCU film and the only MCU film that has any thematic substance.
Ryan Coogler is on another level compared to the rest of the MCU's directors and the casting, scripting, sound design and editing in Black Panther reflected that.
Love the fact that the film's success and it's universal critical acclaim triggers so many people still to this day.

Yeah, the biggest omission. The first movie adapts the comics way closer than a lot of the movies listed on here.
