No Way Home Makes Spider-Man The MCU's Best Trilogy
Kevin Feige, the head honcho at Marvel Studios, is a big fan of the trilogy format. Telling serialized cinematic stories in three parts is one of the many ways the Star Wars saga has influenced the MCU. From Iron Man to Captain America to Thor, Feige and co. have generally stuck to the trilogy tradition with their superheroes’ solo adventures. The Avengers series is technically a quadrilogy, but Infinity War and Endgame are essentially two parts of the same story (and were even billed as such early in development), so it has the familiar “beginning, middle, and end” feel of a trilogy.
Until recently, the MCU didn’t have any perfect trilogies. All the franchise’s previous trilogies had been let down by at least one weak installment that hurt the series as a whole. Age of Ultron is by far the weakest Avengers film, acting as too many stepping stones between other MCU projects to really flesh out the apocalyptic threat of its titular cybernetic villain. Before the Russos revamped Captain America’s dull goody-two-shoes characterization in The Winter Soldier and Civil War, The First Avenger kicked off Cap’s solo trilogy with a generic superhero adventure. The Iron Man trilogy got off to a fantastic start with one of the greatest comic book movies ever made, but Iron Man 2 had an overstuffed plot focused more on universe-building than character development and Iron Man 3 has a wildly controversial twist that revealed Tony Stark’s fearsome terrorist leader arch-nemesis to be a foolish actor playing dress-up.
