From the dazzling depths of the quantum realm in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania to the time-traveling escapades in Loki season two, the Marvel Cinematic Universe dished out a smorgasbord of entertainment that kept us glued to our screens.

Let's talk about the high points first. Loki season 2 was a standout, with Tom Hiddleston reprising his role as the God of Mischief. This season was a masterclass in storytelling, blending humor, heart, and the kind of mind-bending plot twists that make you want to watch episodes back-to-back. Then there were Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and The Marvels, which, despite some bumps, delivered a good dose of fun and action, reminding us why we love the MCU. These releases had us cheering, laughing, and sometimes tearing up – the classic Marvel formula.

But hey, not every swing hits a home run. Secret Invasion had its moments, sure, but it also left us scratching our heads a bit. It promised a high-stakes espionage thriller but sometimes wandered into the realms of the convoluted. And Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, while visually stunning, didn't quite capture the heart and charm we've come to expect from our tiny (or giant, depending on the scene) heroes. These were the moments when we remembered that even superhero juggernauts like Marvel aren't immune to a few stumbles. But in true Marvel fashion, even the lows were filled with enough spectacle and fan service to keep us talking and theorizing long after the credits rolled. 

With all of that in mind, let’s reminisce about the 6 best Marvel moments we witnessed in 2023.
