Been waiting years for those two words.
Off the top of my head. The Avengers Assemble moment outside Grand Central in the first Avengers movie.
It's pretty hard to top the Avengers Assemble moment in End Game. That was the pay off of nearly 2 dozen movies.
I think it's a tie between what Kirby 101 and Xpac said. These two moments are perfect bookends for the MCU as a whole.
As much as I love the first "team Avengers" shot, and how the inevitable "Avengers Assemble" brought a tear to my eye (among various other scenes I enjoyed), I gotta say...the single most awesome moment for me was Wanda kicking Thanos's ass in Endgame. Even her trying her best in IW ranks way up there.
When Iron Man saves New York by flying the nuke to the portal to shut down the nerve center of the Chitauri, and then Hulk saves him from falling to his doom on the pavement.
When Spider-man removes the rubble he is trapped in Homecoming.

One of my favorite moment was the post credits scene in Avengers. I had just watched an amazing movie and now, here was Thanos. My buddy and I went crazy.
But everything in Endgame gets me. When Falcon comes in with 'on your left,' I gasped. When Peter swings in. When Mjolnir flies to Cap. When Wanda says "You will." So many moments. Adore that movie.
I mean, it's hard to compete with Endgame; that whole movie is basically just three hours of uninterrupted fanservice. :D
For me, yeah, it's probably gotta be "Avengers assemble." And within that scene, when Ant-Man punched the Chitari....whale-thing.....out? I was just like.....yeah, Scott Lang of all people is one-hitting crap it used to take two Avengers (or one really stupid stunt) to stop. Sh*t has gotten very real.
But if it's not Avengers assemble.......the moment in Ragnarok where Thor hits Hela with the lightning, Zepplin starts playing, and he lands on the Bifrost......yeah, that's one of my favorite badass moments.
And of course.....Hulk punching Thor in the first Avengers. That sucker punch had me laughing for days. :p
Most have already been said. And I agree with alot of them. But for me seeing Black Panther and Cap sprinting out together ahead of the rest the army in Ifninty war was amazing.
Also Thors dramatic entrance in Infinty war to save everyone in Wakanda. That scene felt like a Superman scene. Hope was gone and things were bleak and just by his presence everyone got a second wind.
Watching Howard the Duck nail Lea Thompson,
Also when Thanos appears in Wakanda in Infinity war,
Can't forget Baby Groot
I'll go for the airport battle in Captain America: Civil War.
My favourite scene is, believe it or not, Bucky unmasked in Winter Soldier. I know it's not as spectacular as most people's choices but that scene was so emotional, from Steve's utter shock and disbelief from Bucky's"who the hell is Bucky?"
Perfect.

To piggy back off that I love Caps "Even when I had nothing, I had Bucky" line.
And then when he tells Tony Buckys his friend and the way RDJ delivers the "So was i" Line. Really sad the see Evan's and RDJ leave the MCU
"Kick names, take ass."
The Dance-off To Save The Universe.
Yup.
Second place goes to the death of Killmonger.
Just like Kevin Bacon in Footloose! Is it still the greatest movie of all time?

That was a great one for me as well. It just encapsulated so much of the best things about BP and Cap from the comics. Their (for all meaningful purposes) perfectly equal abilities, their long camaraderie (in the comics), their mutual respect, and just how serious and fearless each of them are. Kirby had a great idea in making them so alike, yet so different, and such great friends.
I'd love to see a title really explore that, but I'd be afraid somebody would want to DKR it just for shock value.
The main trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy. Its when we knew this movie would be something special and it did not disappoint.
I actually thought the Avengers Assemble line in Endgame was horrible as it was such forced fan service. Not quite as bad as the female Avengers scene, another forced fan service moment. Cap first wielding Mjolnir on the other hand was awesome.
So...you know, the Stan Lee cameo in Endgame leaves everything else in the dust obviously.

Thor saying "Ultron I'd have words with thee" woulda been fan service and I woulda loved it. I dont mind fan Service unless it undercuts the story which It didnt. But i get it.

For comic book movies, I think fan service is basically a built in component to the equation though. You're constantly throwing in easter eggs or references to the source material which are less about telling the story and more about getting the hardcore fan base to geek out. Right or wrong, it's just a part of the genre at this point.

Me too. I don't think they could ever have picked better actors to play those roles.
Both Civil War and Winter Soldier were on UK TV recently, and the quality of the film making is still a joy to watch. Even the humour was tasteful and fit in with the story telling.
I really hope Marvel don't go the comedy route with everything in future.
In Captain Marvel, Stan Lee cameo's on a bus, (the same bus where she decked that old-lady skrull) reading a script for a movie. That movie is Mallrats, a Kevin Smith film starring Jason Lee (Dave from Alvin and the Chipmunks) which features a lengthy Stan Lee appearance. He speaks at length about his creation of spider-man, the FF, the X-Men, and the Hulk. Jason Lee's character even says "You are a god." What this tells me is that this scene on the bus features Stan Lee cameoing as himself, as the creator the characters whose movie he is currently in. The MCU strives to keep it's continuity as logical and tight as possible, but Stan Lee has always been the exception to that. His age, location, and occupation never add up. But he's always been there, watching. Even in other universes, like the X-men and the FF (which are not yet in the MCU). He just doesnt make sense logically. Unless, as I believe Captain Marvel proved, he is the one above all. I have more detail for anyone interested, but I honestly truly believe that Stan Lee is the One-Above-All canonically in the MCU.
Other thoughts:
Peggy and Steves dance.
The Tech Nerd in CA:TWS, terrified with a gun against his head, who will not launch the Insight Carriers. He is the greatest hero of the MCU and it made me stupid happy to see him in AAoU (I have a head canon thing about Fury showing up to ask if he's ready to do the right thing again). He is the least of us rising to the best of us.

The look on Thor's face in Endgame when he summons Mjlonir might be some of the best acting Hemsworth has ever done. I *felt* that moment, yo.

I get that. I have no problem with Cap's shield being in the background in early Iron Man movies and other such easter eggs.
But Endgame went past the point of cringy cheesiness with Avengers Assemble because its not a line that actually works in real life dialogue. And the female Avengers scene because it was so impossible that every female would line up perfectly in a chaotic battle with nary a male to be seen*. Both were forced fan service that detracted from the film rather than enhanced it like Cap wielding Mjolnir which I already said I thought was awesome and the best part of Endgame.
*Just to be clear because some reflexively yell "you hate women" when you deride the female Avengers scene its not the case for me. It was just a bad scene and it was unnecessary. The women were already badass. Captain Marvel took down the ships. Scarlet Witch was kicking ass. Etc. The women were awesome and kicking ass without the scene and all the scene did was look like pandering and bad fan service.
I don't think anything can top the "Avengers Assemble" moment in Avengers: Endgame. It was the climax of a culmination of a franchise that has been on-going since 2008, which featured all of the key players from every franchise that the MCU is made up of.
That being said, I think the scene that I appreciate the most from all of the movies is Wanda destroying the Mind Stone in Avengers: Infinity War. Just the execution of that scene was so powerful. Olsen and Bettany's performances really sold the scene and made me feel so strongly for the characters despite them not having a lot of screen time to develop their relationship. The scene also really sold the desperation that the heroes were facing in order to save the universe from its greatest threat.
It is a sad and disheartening moment, but it was powerful and emotional all at the same time.

That whole sequence in Asgard was nicely played by Hemsworth.

I get what you mean. And fanservice.....that's a trick, right? A little bit can make a movie more fun in a guilty pleasure sort of way, but too much can destabilize what you're trying to do and make the whole thing a mockery.
But I think Endgame earns a free pass. This wasn't just any movie, and as the farewell to so many characters, actors, and the entire Infinity Saga I think all the fanservice was not only acceptable, but actually kind of warranted. Even the "female heroes team up" works, I think. Yes, it's utterly unlikely and ridiculous that these specific people would all be in that one specific place at that time, but so what? The MCU (and films in general) are so male-heavy what's the harm in a three minute scene of girls kicking ass together? When I saw Endgame in theaters, every woman in the place gave a cheer at that scene (my wife included) and you know what? They deserved that. The female fans of the MCU deserved that. I'm glad they got it, even if it doesn't *really* make any sense.
Obviously YMMV and this level of fanservice isn't something I'd usually agree with, but......its Endgame. F*ck it, go for it!
I'm going to leave Endgame out of it since it's so obvious.
With that said...

That moment with the passing train reveal gave me chills. It's one of my all-time "show ups" any where in any comic or comic-inspired media.
Loved the Tunnel chase scene in Civil war and didnt known untill today that theres barely any CGI in that scene. They had stuntmen doing all kinds of crazy shit in that scene.
Fury's end credit scene in Iron Man simply because it was a Holy Shit they're really doing it moment.

It was the turning point of the movie. Steve was questioning his position. Sharon/Peggy reminded him what was right, and not to give in to compromises to righteousness.

She gave the speech during Peggy's funeral service, talking about Peggy. But it inspired Cap to stay anti-registration.
