Best Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Without doing research I'd figure I'd ask here for shits and giggles. In what order should I watch these and are they any good? I just got Disney + last night so I'm ready to go on a Marvel ride if you guys suggest I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Iron Man The Incredible Hulk Iron Man 2 Thor Captain America: The First Avenger The Avengers Iron Man 3 Thor: The Dark World Captain America: The Winter Soldier Guardians of the Galaxy Avengers: Age of Ultron Ant-Man Captain America: Civil War Doctor Strange Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Spider-Man: Homecoming Thor: Ragnarok Black Panther Avengers: Infinity War Ant-Man and the Wasp Captain Marvel Avengers: End Game Spider-Man: Far from Home Once you reach End Game, the quality of the movies really becomes hit and miss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 There are a couple of early ones that aren't great, but IMHO most of them are solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spork3245 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 I don't think I've ever been able to get through Thor The Dark World without falling asleep. It's so awful. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was probably better than some of their recent TV shows. That said, "The Incredible Hulk" wasn't particularly good either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneticBlueprint Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 The thing that sucks is that you have to watch a metric shit ton of schlock to have context for the culminating event of this series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Just skip straight to Endgame. For science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneticBlueprint Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 I'd also try not to binge these. The formula gets extremely samey the more of these you watch and that would probably be amplified if watching one after the other in quick succession. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Dark World is better than the first movie and Hulk is the second best Phase 1 MCU movie (second to Iron Man) 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 @Best I would start with Iron Man. If you like it, keep watching in order. The "Avengers" movies make a lot more sense if you've watched all of the previous movies, even if a handful aren't great. TBH, I've gone from seeing Marvel movies on opening weekend, to not even bothering watching some of it. But, IMHO, the early stuff (before End Game) is still worth watching.

Keyser_Soze Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 @Best Start with Iron Man, Hulk, Iron Man 2. Skip Thor and Captain America (which is only worth seeing for Natalie Dormer) then watch the rest, especially Thor Dark World. Keep in mind that the first two Avengers movies are basically the same movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor introduces you to one of the most beloved characters and actors in the entire CU (who will make several reappearances). And Captain America is the most heartfelt and best origin story of the bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 You can't really skip any of these movies for the most part in my opinion. The Avengers movies will just be a bunch of bright lights and flashing colors with no sense to them if you skip anything. And why would anyone want to skip anything? Why jump straight to the Avengers movies? They aren't good without the context so it'd be a pointless endeavor. My recommendation is watch them properly at your own preferred pace, there's no rush. This is NOT a Godzilla vs. Kong situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 They all build on each other but the first Iron Man is great, the other 2 not so much. Basically all of the Captain America and Spiderman movies are good. Thor 2 was shit, 1 and 3 were good. I thought the second Avengers was kinda shitty but the other 3 were great. Actually I think other than the handful of bad ones I mentioned most of them are pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 @Best Kat Dennings and the cringe humor make the first two Thor movies almost unbearable to watch. Don't listen to @GeneticBlueprint He thinks the first song on every album is the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 3 hours ago, Keyser_Soze said: Dark World is better than the first movie and Hulk is the second best Phase 1 MCU movie (second to Iron Man) Phase 1 had a weird problem with lack of action in the climax of the movies (which ultimately got paid off with Avengers 1 being almost nonstop action). Dark World was very forgettable but structurally it made more sense as a superhero movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Posted June 13 Author Share Posted June 13 What's awesome about this is that I'm going to be watching these movies in a virtual movie theater in 3D. I tested out Iron Man and its stunning. I'm using my Quest 3 for this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyPiranha Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 The honest answer is which movies do you have any interest in, because you can probably infer all the necessary context from Endgame if you really need to. You’re not losing out on much outside of very entertaining popcorn fluff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They build your connection with the characters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve read comics my entire life but never really paid attention to the starting characters of the MCU. Couldn’t have told you their stories until I saw those movies.
