wazzap24 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Some very promising early reactions to Wandavision, with 3 episodes released to critics. The best comment I’ve read is ‘Wandavison looks like if David Lynch made a superhero sitcom’ Apparently very funny, weird and mysterious. Rave reviews for Olsen and Bettany. Can’t wait.

Seat68 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Quick question. I decided to watch the marvel films, I started on Captain America as a website said thats the first chronologically. A different website says if you are new to this series of films then in release order is the best thing to do. Is that right? I stress I have only watched the CA film and know nothing else about the films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted January 11, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 11, 2021 Go release order. The series mostly moves forward continually, with a couple of exceptions - Captain America the First Avenger is one, a much later film another - so it mostly makes sense to just follow the release order. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 dont skip either, there are some ropey films that are followed up by some very good ones, thor 2 and thor 3 probably being the best example, id even add thor 1 to that, the first 2 are nothing special at all but the 3rd one is one of the best 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only other film that would change order drastically would be Captain Marvel and i liked that flashback as an interlude between Avengers 3 and 4. Not sure which way i would prefer, except it will flow better if you watch in release order rather than chronologically, due to how/when they introduce new characters and villains.

The more varied films come later on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the marvel stuff and yet I’ve never seen Iron Man 3 as I’ve heard it’s rubbish. Probably should watch it at some point, but I don’t feel like missing anything. I still get all the character arcs throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d watched in a haphazard way initially (Guardians was the first one I ever saw and then probably saw avengers next) so didn’t feel the need to have that extra bit about Tony. Yeah I know who you mean in number 3, like you I don’t know anything about him but many comic fans were annoyed. So will be interesting to see how they relaunch in Shang Chi Edited January 12, 2021 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 So far. Iron Man, pretty good. Fairly enjoyable. Incredible Hulk. Below average. Captain America. Solid. Liked it. Next up is Iron Man 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted January 14, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 14, 2021 Iron Man 2 has a single great action scene, the Mk5 armour, and Justin Hammer's appearance. Otherwise it's a weak one - obviously knocked out quickly while they tried to get the whole MCU 'thing' on track. I actually like Thor 2 but can acknowledge it's a weaker entry. Iron Man 2 is just a bit rubbish. They flirt with the demon in the bottle story but then don't really want to go there so cock it up. It's the worst in the series by a decent distance IMO.
