Bedazzled
Essentially a series of sub-SNL sketches, Brendan Fraser and Elizabeth Hurley's inherent likability gives Bedazzled at least one leg to stand on. Not only are both compelling on-screen, but there's some genuine chemistry that makes it clear Hurley's devil has as much affection for Fraser's hapless hero as the viewer.
Bad Times at the El Royale
Overly long and glancing ambitiously over Tarantino's shoulder, there's still a lot to like about this dark comedy, which follows a bunch of potentially criminal misfits staying in the same motel.
Inherent Vice
A sleepy swipe at The Big Lebowski's crown, Inherent Vice lacks the energy it needs to make this slacker Noir feel compelling. Despite that, there are some great moments, and Josh Brolin's reaction to catching the main character with a platter of weed is worth watching the film for by itself.
The Last of Us
Moody, compelling drama that may be the only American show in history to have too few episodes. The show rushes Joel and Ellie's journey at some key point, eliding their transformation from reluctant companions to found family. The acting is fantastic and the deviations from the game add the sense of an even wider world, but this story needed some more room to breathe when its central relationship is so important.

Agreed! My only fear is that when they do bring Arakko back, it's just going to be to destroy it and restore the status quo.

My instinct was also that Sentry is #1, but I couldn't get past Hulk beating him down in World War Hulk. I'd remembered it as a draw, but Hulk outright wins that fight - and we've seen him even stronger than that.

I would have agreed about Scarlet Witch and Doctor Strange until One World Under Doom, where Wanda says it would take her multiple weeks to craft a spell that would even weaken 'Sorcerer Supreme magic.' (https://screenrant.com/scarlet-witch-doctor-strange-more-powerful-sorcerer-supreme-op-ed/)
I feel like since Blood Hunt, we've been seeing how much Strange was doing on the sidelines (actively keeping Cyttorak AND Dormammu from invading), and that a lot of his power is invested in ongoing spells.

All incredibly powerful, but with Quasar as the floor, I don't think any of them make it. Captain Marvel probably 11, but since Quasar could break the shield around Earth in Secret Empire and CM couldn't dent it, it seems like there's a gulf between them.
(Obv different Quasar, but same powers.)
