The Marvel Cinematic Universe is truly amazing. Spectacular special effects, epic combat sequences, popular superheroes, and quite often, some comedy and lightheartedness, while still being serious enough that characters can die on both sides. Not afraid to kill off main villains, not overly dark, overall fun for just about everyone 13 and up. And it's one of the most popular series too, more popular than anything else I like.

Top favorites being 4.) Ant-Man, for its comedy, 3.) Thor: The Dark World, for the awesome final battle with Malekith, 2.) Doctor Strange, for its spectacular special effects and its comedic moments, and 1.) Guardians of the Galaxy, for being the funniest, having the best final battle (with the most spectacular villain defeat), having some awesome effects (between other planets and an Infinity Stone), and of course, The Other.

Marvel would have been my most favorite series of everything, were it not for the fact that it might be moving in a direction I don't like. It's too early to tell about the villain thing which I won't go into detail on (beyond Kaecilius's status is unclear), but Civil War was a little too dark (though all right) and the villain technically won despite his imprisonment. Leaving great uncertainty as to how the Avengers' fight with Thanos ends.

So, as long as I'm worried about the direction Phase 3 will take as a departure from what I love most about the series, and how the Avengers' adventures will end (if ever, if it drags on too long it might lose me anyway when it gets stale), it can't be my favorite, so at the moment, until such a time as Thanos is defeated and the Avengers are reunited and loved by most, the position of my most favorite series goes to the Sonic games, with Aladdin a close second.
