Not a bad idea to bring them in via Disney series first

They are marketing the latest Spiderman movie as “the best marvel movie of all time”

Is that true?

No

What is the bare minimum Marvel type stuff I need to watch to enjoy/understand the big ensemble one with Thanos?

Iron Man
Captain America: Winter Soldier
Captain America: Civil War
Thor: Ragnarok
Guardians of the Galaxy
Avengers
Doctor Strange

Thanks wease. I actually think I've seen all of those except for the Captain America and Thor installments.

Is it safe to compare this whole MCU thing to walking into a comic book store and picking up a random title? Obviously a lot of it ties together, but are these films also designed to stand alone?

GotG does. (You could also watch the sequel as it does introduce a couple other team members, but I’m not sure it’s essential before Infinity War/Endgame)

Winter Soldier kind of can, but other stuff builds off it. It’s one of the best Marvel movies period, tho. They wanted it to be like a 70s spy thriller and it really does come across as such.

Civil War explains why stuff happens that would cause some major head scratching if you went into Infinity War cold.

Ragnarok basically takes place immediately before Infinity War and indeed, leads directly into it.

Most of the Marvel movies are designed to be enjoyed as a single movie but a LOT of stuff ties into other stuff. It’s one reason why I enjoy most of it. It feels like the comics I grew up reading.

Excited for this

Sweet!

great take on how Wanda is the one who causes Secret Wars

Thunderbolts is a GO!

If that's true, Bammer would like you to make a thread for it.

So many Marvel announcements today

That Wakanda Forever sneak peak was the best Marvel trailer in a long time.

yeah, i hated the first one, and im sure this one will suck, but that was a great trailer.

That’s a franchise that really needs a white savior. Too bad Daredevil didn’t show up in that one instead of She-hulk.
