Fizzzzle Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 1. Captain Marvel - takes place in 1995, establishes Fury and Coulson as characters, there is retconning you have ignore, though 2. Iron Man - super heroes aren't a thing yet until the post-credits scene 3. Iron Man 2 - they make a reference to Thor during the movie but it's like halfway through 4. Thor - takes place roughly the same time as Iron Man 2 5. The Incredible Hulk - only because Tony Stark is in the end scene setting up the Avengers implying it takes place after Iron Man 2, movie is entirely skippable, though 6. Captain America: The First Avenger - First chronologically, but setting up the Tesseract and the end of the movie clearly are set ups for the Avengers, it fits better here 7. The Avengers 8 - Guardians of the Galaxy 9 - Guardians of the Galaxy 2 - director said takes place mere months after the first one 10/11 - Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World - interchangeable. I like them better after Guardians because we get the sense that a bit of time has passed since Avengers, it's weird to have them follow directly after 12 - Captain America: The Winter Soldier - the fall of SHIELD is a big deal and skipping Earth shenanigans after it to spend time in space is jarring 13 - Avengers: Age of Ultron 14 - Ant-Man 15 - Captain America: Civil War 16 - Spider-Man: Homecoming - fits the best if Parker's life picks up right after Civil War rather than waiting a bunch of movies 17? - Black Widow? - seems like this movie will fit right about here, we'll see 18/19 - Doctor Strange and Black Panther - interchangeable 20 - Ant-Man and the Wasp - takes place at roughly the same time as Thor: Ragnarok, but I like it better first 21 - Thor: Ragnarok - sets up Infinity War better than Ant-Man imo 22 - Avengers: Infinity War 23 - Avengers: Endgame 24 - Spider-Man: Far from Home - takes place seemingly right after the blip, whereas the D+ series seem to take place some time after 25/26 - WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier - interchangeable The Netflix series pretty much aren't canon anymore and who cares about the ABC series.

skillzdadirecta Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Spiderman Far from home takes place a full year after the blip. Wandavision takes place a couple of weeks after the blip. Falcon and Winter Soldier takes place about a year afterwards as well... maybe even AFTER Far from Home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I remember several years ago, I binged the movies prior to Age of Ultron, I think. I can't imagine trying to binge them all now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine trying to binge them all now. I just recently binged the whole thing. If I were to do it, I would recommend doing like two a week. WandaVision episodes can be as little as 20 minutes long, so you can do the whole show in a couple nights, easy peasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I guess I would just watch them in the order they came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikachu Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I actually prefer watching in timeline order starting with Captain America: The First Avenger. I think the stories flow nicer that way especially with GOTG Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 only taking place several weeks after each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now she LOVES these movies. I know for a fact she's seen Avengers Endgame more times than I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 My preferred MCU viewing order is production/release order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Yeah, I think people like to overthink things like this. Theatrical release order is almost always the most logical way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Honestly other than watching Endgame before Infinity War.. just do whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I just watch in release order, though I think it'll be a while before I go through them all again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Release order and it will stay that way because I don't plan to rewatch any of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Not that any of the old movies look actually bad, but I'd rather not flip flop around different levels of quality so release order it is but also this: 44 minutes ago, Keyser_Soze said: Release order and it will stay that way because I don't plan to rewatch any of them!

Slug Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 The Woman and I recently finished binging them in timeline order. So Cap 1 -> Cap Marvel -> IM -> IM2 -> and so on. I felt it worked really well. The only hitch is that a small handful of the post credits scenes didn't really make sense right away to my wife who didn't watch them all on theatrical release like I did so a couple of the "oh wow!" moments in post-credits were more like, "uh...what?" moments for her. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjomesphat Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Or just watch the handful of decent movies and skip the rest or just watch the trailers. Really the only thing that matters plot-wise is that these characters exist and they beat the bad guys. There you're caught up with Infinity War. Have fun. There's like a dozen movies you don't have to waste your life on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
