Just watched Guardians 3, it’s definitely Epic Class for me

[ajytabbott]

I am so glad you loved GOTG Volume 3 as much as I did, Sean. It's top tier for me too!!!

[mikeaprice]

I saw Guardians 3 last night. All I can say is: wow. Is it too early to call it a masterpiece? It was so well made, the characters were developed as well as any MCU film to date and the emotion hit home multiple times. They took such care with it and it goes straight into my top 5.

[justylex]

Endgame, No Way Home, and Guardians 3 were some of the most emotional movies experiences I have ever had in my 50 years.

[SmallStepsyt]

Shang Chi and GOTG are examples of having unknown characters quickly become fan favorites. Both were huge risks and both were massive hits.

[rickyrodriguez]

I have a lot of issues with my biological father but my brother in law stepped up and ended up being the closest to a dad that I've ever had, he passed in 2021 and the Yondu and Star Lord story really resonates with me. I always cry when I watch Vol.2. I appreciate the reevaluation Sean! Much love from OH!

[rayman]

I love tier lists, there is something just fun about making them, especially with movies. Great video! I’m also glad that you enjoy Guardians 3 after expressing how much you just LOVE the 2nd one 😂

[whiplash]

Three givens in life:
-The sky is above us.
-Money is a form of currency.
-Sean will criticize Far From Home in an MCU video for having a villain who has scorn for Tony Stark followed by “hit me baby one more time.”

[jermainehaslam]

One of the things I love about the first three phases was the movies all had a different feel and tone to them and somehow they managed to bring those different tones together when they had a team up avengers film.

[rdestroyer]

Saw Guardians 3 opening day. Loved the movie so much and it had me in tears both from laughing and crying. Amazing send off to my favorite MCU heroes. Definitely agree that it's top tier MCU!!!

[lukerota]

I love your tier rankings!
Your editing is also really on point here too.
I can’t say I agree with all of your your placements, but I can see why you ranked them this way…

[bobster-dhvl]

Great list. You’re the best marvel content creator

[the_hughman_spider]

I had an early screening for GOTG 3 and I absolutely loved it! I’ve always loved the guardians they’re one of my favourite superhero teams and James Gunn closed out their stories perfectly. The emotions, comedy and darker tones were all balanced so, so well. As tragic and upsetting as it was, I loved that we got to learn more about Rocket’s backstory. He was already my favourite member of the guardians and that confirmed it. Top 5 MCU.

[justincarter]

Sean, I enjoyed this particular list so much. This was the most fun I've had with rankings/tiers since End Game came out. Great video!

P.S. Your Far From Home opinion could become the new GotG2 opinion lol

[_michantter_]

I think we can all agree that the best part about any Sean Chandler video where he talks about ant-man are the ant puns.

[blisseyran-dom]

I think my biggest hot take is that I love Age of Ultron.

[JayLwis]

S Tier: Infinity War, Endgame, Iron Man, No Way Home, Civil War, The Winter Soldier

[CINEMAZE]

Honestly guardians 3 (which I loved) made me like guardians 2 even less, while some things connected which was cool it just highlighted how I find vol 2 to be a miss step. Other than Quill it doesn’t really push the characters beyond their arcs from 1, while 3 gave all characters some form of arc while keeping the heart despite the darker tone. Rocket’s behaviour in 2 is more justified however after watching 3 which is a positive

[TheDazeez]

I just rewatched Spider-Man: Homecoming and it jumped like two tiers for me… there is the right amount of jokes at the right time, the seriousness seems real, Keaton plays one of the best Villians in the entire series in my opinion
