So tough. Endgame was a film that put the whole marvel series together, but Rogue One is many ways stands up to the original trilogy in terms quality storytelling. As much as it pains me, Endgame might get my vote in this particular head-to-head

 

[Chris]

Yeah Endgame for me. Tough match-up for Rogue One bc I would have voted for it against a lot of others.

 

[Chris]

I wonder how KIF chooses between Marvel or Star Wars in this one

 

[Kairi HoHo]

FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!

Both films put an emotional toll on me throughout the film. Sacrifice people for the greater good.

 

[Doom]

Avengers: Endgame was the icing of the cake, to the MCU we all grown and love for the first three phases.

It gets my vote.

Rogue One is one of the more underrated of the recent Star Wats films imo, and it’s one that I really liked a lot. I like Endgame a lot too, so as tough as this was I’m going with Rogue One.

Rogue One is one of the more underrated of the recent Star Wats films imo, and it’s one that I really liked a lot. I like Endgame a lot too, so as tough as this was I’m going with Rogue One.

I'd even go as far to say it's in my Top 3 Star Wars films that I have personally seen. I liked the more serious tone and I thought Felicity Jones was a fantastic lead.

Only seen Rogue One once and it kinda bored me. Endgame easy for me. Even as a causal MCU fan it was a really emotional experience.
