Good call! Nearly ten years since The Western Front. I actually thought they'd split up for good.
 
Top 5 MCU films:
1. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
2. Eternals
3. Captain America: Civil War
4. Iron Man 1
5. Spider-Man: No Way Home

Finally caught up with the MCU and the new Spider-Man immediately bumped Shang-Chi out of my top 5. Willem stole the spotlight at all times as Green Goblin.
 
Haven't seen all of them (currently catching up on the Spider-Man movies so I can check out NWH) but my current ranking would be something like this:

1. Doctor Strange
2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
3. Captain America: The First Avenger
4. Infinity War
5. Shang-Chi

I definitely get that, because I can see how the very qualities about I like are things that make it seem bland to others. Events play out so quickly that it kind of feels like a recap meant to get the viewer up to speed in preparation for something else, which sounds bad, but I like how none of the basic story beats you're already expecting feel over-emphasized in a way they would in any other of these movies. The scene that sticks out for me as the perfect example of this is Bucky's fall. Bucky's hanging on to a metal bar, Cap's trying to save him, oops there he goes, and all this happens in like 5 seconds. It's hard to imagine any other modern action movie not milking that for at least 10 more seconds of artificial tension. I also dig how unambiguously good of a hero Captain America is. I don't mind that the later movies tried to problematize him more, but I like that we got this one where he's just this untrammeled beacon of positivity and heroism. And I enjoy Hugo Weaving as Jordan P Red Skull.

I probably feel the way about Eternals that you do about First Avenger. I recognize that it had a distinctive style among the MCU films, and I wish it had clicked with me, but I unfortunately just found it boring as shit.
 
I appreciate Cap's unambiguous heroism too but paired with Red Skull's unambiguous villainy just makes for such an unrelatable movie imo. Also Red Skull is hammy as fuck.

Eternals on the other hand feels like a film directed by an actual person, rather than a marketing team. But I can see why many think it's boring, I seem to be in the minority with that one.
 
top 5 off JP's Killing Machine. This album is so underrated; it contains such hidden gems! It should get more recognition. The only tracks that do not do any special for me are Deliver the Goods and the title track.

1. Running Wild
2. Hell Bent for Leather
3. Before the Dawn
4. Evening Star
5. Burnin' Up
