I've heard really good things about both Thor: Ragnarok and Spiderman: Homecoming - thank you for confirming their place on the top of my To Watch list. Definitely the ones to watch if you haven't yet.
Thor: Ragnarok just got added to Netflix streaming, conveniently! I think it showed up literally a day or two before I got to it in the rotation. Sometimes Netflix really has your back : )
I kind of resent Tony Stark's character progression, not because it's not well done but because it seems to come at the cost of other characters who I like as much or more. I hear you. The scales are wildly unbalanced on screentime all across the board for what is, ostensibly, an ensemble endeavor. I guess if any of the original 'core team' of Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and Captain America were going to get extra attention, I'd prefer it be Tony (I'd also take Bruce Banner). But I'd imagine it's wildly annoying for anybody who doesn't like him.
Age of Ultron and Civil War could plausibly be Iron Man 4 and Iron Man 5 I'm trying to decide what I think about the fact that Iron Man got sequels that are basically solely centered on him. As did Thor. And the second Guardians of the Galaxy is self-contained in their world. But the second and third 'Captain America' movies are really ensemble/crossover pieces. I mean, I think that speaks to Steve's role in the MCU, but it's also a bit unfair.
and from the sound of it he plays a big role in Spiderman: Homecoming as well. Hmmm. He plays an important role, but it's very much not his movie. It's solely about what effects he has on Peter's life.
Meanwhile Sam Wilson gets like five minutes of screentime outside of Winter Soldier. Where is the justice? *weeps* I'd really like to get something substantial with him. Not necessarily a stand-alone film because I'm genuinely less interested in those. But as soon as the secret Avenger's base upstate was established and they created a team who basically hang around there, I just wanted a lot of movies about them. Forget these divas who all swan off after the invasion's over. (But this is why I watch Agents of SHIELD and took 10 years to get to the blockbuster movies).
Anyway, at some point I will try to bury the hatchet against Tony and watch the Iron Man movies but I'm gonna do Thor 3 and Spidey and maybe some of the TV shows first. You've never seen the Iron Man movies?!?! Interesting. Let me tell you, he's wildly toned down by the time we get to any of the crossovers.
But absolutely do the TV shows first. They don't get nearly enough love.
