How is the franchise with 4 of the top 10 highest grossest movies ever, soon to be 5 out of 10, winning? Maybe because it combines good plot lines, likable characters, stunning special effects and over the course of more than 20 films has very few dogs? Sure, I think Godfather 1 is a better movie than any MCU movie. Maybe Raiders of the Lost Ark. Probably Empire. But after that the MCU just trounces. It's like the Wilt Chamberlain versus Bill Russell AND THE ENTIRE REST OF THE CELTICS lineup I mentioned. Wilt and 4 cheerleaders couldn't beat them, and neither can these other franchises. None of them tend to enough top line talent. Hell, Bond is the worst of the lost. I really enjoy the Bond movies, but there isn't a single one that I'd put on any kind of top 25 list of movies ever. It's got volume, and is consistently entertaining, but other than longevity it hasn't got a ton of appeal.
