MCU. I was blown away watching all the films in order for the first time a few years ago. The culmination of the first 3 phases ending with Infinity War and Endgame was just brilliant. Quite possibly the best series of movies I've ever seen that are interconnected.

Yeah, I binged watched all of them back in January 2021 when I had covid. I had seen Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America many years ago, but I never really got into them and had no idea they were all connected. So starting from the beginning and watching them all in order was extremely entertaining.

It’s a shame, the MCU peaked at endgame - it’s felt very directionless since

They are working up to the next thing. Antman and loki season 2 should set up a lot. Phase 4 has been a lot of introductions just like phase 1 was. I think people wrongly expected them to instantly setup the new thanos. Now that we have gotten all these new heroes the overall story will start building.

I don’t think deleting it will be as good. Part of what made it so amazing is that you had the wait and hype between movies and the series spanning a decade until Endgame. You’d lose that on a binge.

Endgame would not have the same impact if you watched the first Avengers movie a month before.

The only MCU movie I watched in the theaters was Captain America. I had seen Iron Man and Thor on tv or rented them, but I was never "into" those movies back then, and had no idea they were all connected. So I wasn't part of the masses that watched them all when they came out in the theaters over a 10 year period. I went back and started with IM1 and watched them all pretty much for the first time on D+ in January 2021 when I was sick with covid. And that took about 10 days. Trust me....Endgame had an impact on me.

Definitely not saying it doesn’t have an impact, it’s still an epic saga, but it’s completely different when you follow it for 10+ years!
