Logan should have been on this list wtf.
“Race of its protagonist aside…” Living proof that back then diverse casts received praise for their talent, not just because of the fact they were diverse. Because let’s be honest: if Blade were made today, it would’ve received the same high amount of praise as black panther and mostly because a black guy is in the lead role, not just because the movie is badass in its own way.
Superman should be number one not X-Men.
Spider-Man 1 isn’t even on this list, that is disrespectful
ABSOLUTELY AGREE with the first place. X-men-2000 were the movie that showed: the era of superhero movies is coming!
X-Men #1??!…Bullshit.
#1. Superman 1978
#2. Blade
#3. Iron Man
#4. Avengers
#5. the Dark Knight
Personally I think Spider-Man is the reason for all the super hero movies. X-men is alright never got into them
Tdk should be #1! I still haven't watched slum dog millionaire
Blade kicked off the MCU that alone should make it top five
omg, spider-man should've been #1, im mad
How does iron man do it create the the MCU without any issues unlike the DCEU?
Thank God some one finally recognized blade
WHY ARE BLACK PANTHER AND WONDER WOMEN SO LOW ON THE LIST? I disliked for that. Here's how your list should be: #4. "The Dark Knight." (2008) #3. "Black Panther." (2018) #2. "Wonder Women." (2017) #1. "The Avengers." (2012) #10-#5 can be filled with the rest of the movies on this list, movies like "Spider-Man" (2002) that should've gone into the honorable mentions category that you didn't go, or, because of that, any other ones that are going in Another Top 10 Superhero Movies That Changed Everything
top 5 proper:
1. Superman 78' – made the world believe a man could fly, started it all
2. Batman 89' – changed the way all blockbuster movies were marketed in hollywood
3. Avengers – changed the entire hollywood business model
4. Spider-Man – first MEGA blockbuster comic book movie, set a huge standard and blew the X-Men movies away in production value, box office and merchandising
5. X-Men – the first big budget movie people knew was a comic book movie since the old Batman films, can be swapped for Iron Man or Dark Knight imo
2-4 can be interchanged in my opinion. to put Iron Man actually in the top 5 is questionable, but I can see it as it did kick off what the Avengers ended up validating. but to have X-Men as #1 is fucking absurd, flat out. not the best in terms of affecting hollywood business model, marketing, not a gigantic box office smash, not truly the first good Marvel comic movie (Blade). the cultural impact of X-Men is probably lesser than Wonder Woman and Black Panther. to put a movie like Deadppol on this list and not include one of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films….what the actual fuck? then again, watchmojo gonna watchmojo.
I'm fan of the X-Men, relegated mostly to movie knowledge than the comics, with X:Men DOFP being one of my top 3 fav superhero movies of all time. But there's no way that the 1st X-Men should be number 1 on this list when Spider-Man 1 and 2 and even the 2nd X-Men movie are not in here as honorable mentions! These are all much stronger films that achieved greater commercial and critical success than the 1st X-Men. The respective sequels to both franchises had much more iconic and game-changing moments with powerful messages to tell such as Peter truly learning the line "With great power, comes great responsibility" after he tosses it aside for much-deserved happiness. X-Men: United has a true human antagonist who shows Magneto and Charles fear of humanity not understanding the mutants come to a literal deafening paramount. The two sequels build of their strong predecessors and are much more deserving to be known as "Superhero Movies That Changed Everything"
No hate, just passionate 🙂
THE F. Dark Knight should be Number 2
Nolan’s Batman should be higher. I doubt the MCU would exist without it
Wow, i really like this list.
I was hoping Spider-Man would be #1.
THE INCREDIBLES?!?!
My first superhero movie is Spider-Man, I enjoyed it but also not that interested. But Iron Man changed everything at least for me, from then on I ma watch every single superhero movie, marvel or dc they don't make much of a difference to me
Coastal gather ceremony nominee two damage embrace recall deadline deserve.
Watchmen?
In an era of white washing….WHAT!? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?
where is logan
jews
I’m happy to see that my top two favorite superhero movies is still strong to this day! What great art Batman89 & Superman78 are nothing can compare!
Hollywood has been a joke for a long time. Re-makes and super hero movies. My 12 year old can literally write this stuff
No one ever says that there is a cast full of white people in a movie so pls don't be saying that towards different races
You really sat there and said X-Men was number 1.
You really sat there and did this shit.
You really sat there and did this shit and still think you're worthy enough to look your children in the goddamn eyes at night.
Pitiful.
What the..no spiderman???
Top 10 Superhero Movies of All timehttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GXo4uEVuYEI
this is an awful list! abysmal writing!
wow didn´t expect XMEN to be at no. 1
Although I get the argument for why X-Men is number one, I still say Superman should've had the top spot. For the most part, up until then, superheros were considered mainly as material for cartoons and occasionally live action TV.
Sorry, but it was Spider-Man who opened the flood gates!
I love this list, but a great honorable mention should be given to Captain America: Winter Soldier
Blade…?! at least as a number 10 i can dig it.. but to be way up in the list…nnaaaahhh….
my problem w the inclusion of blade on the list is this… i, like many general casual audience werent even aware that it WAS a comicbook character back then.. n a superhero..? n it was more seen as another wesley snipes' kickass actioner..not a superhero flick.
instead, i'd put in either spider-man 1..a superhero flick that actually blew everything away n showed how HUGE this genre can really be n is the REAL gate opener for the golden age of the genre…
another option is guardians of the galaxy..the movies of the UNKNOWN superhero properties that PAID OFF bigly…
oh..n if we don't just talk bout dc n marvel flicks here..i'd even put in Hellboy a lesser known property that undid the stink of Spawn..n opened the door for the likes of kick-ass n bloodshot..etc…
Hang on so everyone's going mad for Deadpool being the first good r superhero film and black panther for being the black superhero solo film but Blade was good a hard r and stars a black character in the lead role. It needs way more recognition.
Spider-Man not in the top ten. WatchMojo is a joke…..! Top Five should be Superman, Avengers, Batman, Spider-Man, Ironman.
X-MEEEEEENNNNN!!!
I think the genre blending MCU films Winter Solider (spy), Guardians (comedy) and AntMan (heist) films could have gotten a mention.
You got me… Who's got you?
Blade was also the first Black-Led And R-Rated comic book movie.
If X-Men ain't on here, something is wrong.
Infinity War will surely change everything after it releases and Avengers as well
