1. Multiverse of Madness
2. Eternals
3. Black Widow
4. ---
5. Shang-Chi
6. No Way Home
7. Love & Thunder

Kinda sad that I found this to be by far the best MCU phase and, given the reception of the first 3, I doubt it'll be replicated.

Close, but probably MoM.

What makes the latter objective, when the former isn't?

Roughly seperated mine into tiers:

1. Where The Crawdads Sing
2. Purple Hearts
3. --
4. Vengeance
5. Multiverse of Madness
6. Everything Everywhere All At Once
7. --
8. The Northman
9. Turning Red
10. The Batman
11. --
12. Love & Thunder

To hopefully spark some discussion on the smaller films that don't require their own threads:

Rank all the 2022 films you've watched so far.

It'd be the same way we evaluate the quality of any art:

the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.

So, whether or not those classics fulfill this to the highest level ("peak"), would be for you to decide.

Late response, but I'm glad you liked it. I suggest rewatching it after a while, I think it's made in a way that its value only amplifies, tbh. Favorite song?

Given I consider MoM to be the best MCU film, and Ragnarok the worst, nah lol.

@theinsufferable: Appreciate the breakdown. I'll probably start with Love Exposure and The Forest of Love: Deep Cut, then.
