I have only seen the Marvel films here and there and never really connected the dots. The Avengers was huge and I missed out on the whole end game hype so I decided to start watching them from the beginning. I subscribed to Disney and luckily all the Marvel films can be found there. Now there are a few ways to watch these films so I spent a bit of time researching what was the best order to watch all of them. You are talking about 40 movies in all and there are little bits in each that intermingle and overlap so I want to make sure I watched them to get the best experience out of them. So there are many ways to watch them but the 2 that stood out most are
1. By order of the film release.
2. By timeline order of the actual film.
There was much debate on the old internet which way to watch them but when I think about it, by film release is the natural way to watch them unless Marvel made a mistake and released a film that had bits it in from future films. After much debate and a punch up with my wife, we settled on the film release date order.
Disney have broken this up into 4 phases for ease of reference which I found very good. So after Christmas we began Phase 1. Phase 1 are the films between 2008 and 2012. They are as follows.
Phase 1 (2008 and 2012)
Ironman
The Incredible Hulk
Ironman 2
Thor
Captain America The First Avenger
The Avengers.
I have to say, I was impressed with all of them especially Captain America. What I found with Phase 1 is that the characters are being developed in the first half of these films so you kinda have to sit through an hour of the story building up before you are into the action really. But they were very good. I was surprised at how good the first Avengers was. Normally in these films you lose your interest half way through but these ones , it didn't happen. Onto Phase 2
Phase 2 (2012 - 2015)
Iron Man 3
Thor: The Dark World
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Guardians of the Galaxy
Avengers: Age of Ultron
Ant-Man
I still can't believe how many films Marvel have released during these years. It's impressive. It was at a time when I was enjoying the good single life in Germany and spent my evenings wining and dining so these 3 years are a blur to me and I missed out on the Marvel. I do not regret it but I am enjoying catching up.
I'm in the middle of Phase 2 at the moment. I watch the first 3 films. I am on Guardians of the Galaxy tonight. I have seen this before but again I am looking for the little tidbits that connect the whole Marvel Universe. It is strange that they didn't finish off with an Avengers in Phase 2. It is finished off with an Ant-man but there may be a reason for this.
Phase 3 (2016 - 2019)
Captain America: Civil War
Doctor Strange
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Spider-Man: Homecoming
Thor: Ragnarok
Black Panther
Avengers: Infinity War
Ant-Man and the Wasp
Captain Marvel
Avengers: Endgame
Spider-Man: Far From Home
I have seen a couple of these already such as Thor Ragnorok which got me into the series in the first place after watching it over Christmas. I have seen Black Panther as well. But the difference in sound and quality with these later films is amazing. Spiderman joins the franchise here so it will be interesting how he fits in.
Phases 4 (2021 to ???)
• WandaVision
• The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
• Loki
• Black Widow
• What If...?
• Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
• Hawkeye
• Eternals
• Spider-Man: No Way Home
• Ms Marvel
• Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
• Thor: Love and Thunder
• Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
• The Marvels
• Moon Knight
• She-Hulk
• Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
• Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3
• Blade
Phase 4 is bringing TV series into the Franchise such as Wandavision and Hawkeye due to the ever growing streaming platforms and the decline in cinema due to Covid-19. I have not seen many of these so again it will take me another 6 months to get through them. It will be interesting. I actually started Hawkeye and it is pretty good so far. He is one of the first Avengers and his story is probably more suited to a series. With Wandavision, you need to have watched the first 3 phases to understand what it is all about I am told.
So that's it for now. I wasn't aware on how many movies and TV shows they actually were but it is good to sit down on a Saturday night and know what you are going to watch. They will keep me out of trouble for a while anyway.
I am eagerly waiting to watch Wandavision, just curious now. It's Disney ultimately. There is also a game coming on Hive by the name "Ragnarok"
Yeah I hope they checked the copyright . 🤣🤣
That would be really interesting aspect, if the copyright permissions are not obtained, the future of the game would be dicey too. Lets hope this issue is taken care off.
They are on Disney? Really? You mean that 11 quid a month I sponk on the kids might not be wasted after all?? :0D
I was as surprised all your good self. There's quite a bit on Disney that's watchable.
Bloody magic, I had just assumed that it works be cool of princesses and shit but if course i forgot about all the other stuff they own!
Give Hamilton a watch. Its some show.
