Is VHS Dead or Alive?


If you remember the 80's and 90's, then you probably also remember video rental stores and all the nostalgia that goes along with them. One of those nostalgic things is VHS videotapes which filled store shelves before becoming obsolete due to a new format known as DVD. For a while VHS cassettes and DVDs shared the shelf space until the latter established itself as the superior format and completely took over.

Now it is time to re-rank the Top 13 Marvel Cinematic Universe films yet again. However, to my surprise, my opinions of many of the films have gradually changed over time after re-watching each one, so this list is a bit different than my previous ones, even if there are some similarities.  13: The Incredible Hulk The black sheep of the MCU, The Incredible Hulk has faded into obscurity almost to the point where it is barely considered canon. Sure, it is occasionally referred, but many aspects of the film just do not fit with the rest of the MCU. Part of this is due to Edward Norton not returning in The Avengers, which led to Mark Ruffalo redefining the film version of the Hulk/Banner to astounding success.
