The MCU is currently underway with its Multiverse Saga; however, many aspects of the MCU's very beginning, Phase One, are sorely missed.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has expanded exponentially over the years, but the MCU's Phase 1 had many elements that helped set up the cinematic universe that are now missed in the franchise the MCU has become. The MCU's Phase 1 consists of six movies. Those are: Iron Man , The Incredible Hulk , Iron Man 2 , Thor , Captain America: The First Avenger , and The Avengers .
10 Each MCU Phase 1 Movie Was Different Than The Last The MCU's Phase 1 movies all felt different from each other. While the MCU has been criticized for relying on its "Marvel formula," Phase 1 was a breath of fresh air.
7 The MCU Phase 1 Movies Were Given Time To Be Great Phase 1 allowed the MCU to bloom organically, with no rush to get the cinematic universe going. That practice's triumph was both evidenced by the MCU's unprecedented success and Marvel's biggest rival, DC, failing in its attempt to rush a Justice League movie instead of growing the DCEU first.
4 MCU Phase 1 Movies Had More Grounded And Realistic Stakes The difference between Phase 1 and the current state of the MCU is that Phase 1 felt like the superhero elements from Marvel Comics had been transported into the real world, while the MCU now feels like a living comic book universe that audiences get to drop in for a visit with every new project. Phase 1 did a great job of grounding the story and making every movie have realistic and significant stakes for the world and its characters.
