Ironman 2 vs. Thor: The Dark World
These two movies have lots in common. Both are the 2nd movies of their respective trilogies. Both grossed higher than the original but were scored lower. Both had probably the worst villains in an MCU movie. And both are considered two of the worst MCU films. Question is, which did you like better?

Iron Man 2
It's probably the weakest Iron Man movie but it's not my least favorite. The Dark World is okay. It gets better with age only because it stands alone on its own merits more than when it failed to meet expectations at the time of its release. It was disappointing for its time so I think it'll be judged more fairly as time goes on, but it's still not great.
There's something about Iron Man 2 that feels flawed and rushed, much like Iron Man himself, and that's what I appreciate about it. Even the parts that drone on. Content wise, I think it got the ball rolling for Captain America Winter Soldier by starting the private citizen v regulation theme that grew even stronger legs later in the MCU.
I also really do like Christopher Eccleston but he looked to me like he was eyeing the exit the whole time.

Thor TDW. Loki and Thors chemistry is super. And it has Odins best performance. And Lady Sif with Thors friends. And an actual death of Frigga giving stakes. And Idris Elba actually doing something.

My two least favourite MCU movies. The Dark World gets the win because it was more enjoyable.

Close fight so far. Doesn't everyone just love underdogs?

Iron Man 2 because Black Widow was at peak bangability here.

Dark World had better development.
They tried to cram a classic Iron man story into 2 without making it about alcohol, but about the tech killing him.
Dark world defined Loki & Thor (satisfaction is not in my nature. Surrender is not in mine). Mjolnir also displays personality as the poor thing hangs on a coat rack as placed without breaking the rack & trying desperately to return to its master.

IM 2. It's a bit of a mess, I'll give you that. But The Dark World is probably the worst MCU flick to date. Terrible villain, lame story.

Oooh now we’re talking. I’d probably say Iron Man 2. But just barely. “The Dark World” is hampered by a less interesting love interest and the worst villain of the MCU. Justin Hammer and Ivan Vanko/Whiplash aren’t good villains but they at least have something of a personality. And I’ll credit IM2 for giving Whiplash a badass entrance during the racetrack scene.
