So, how should I continue my "catching up on the MCU" project? I've watched No Way Home yesterday and seen every movie leading up to it.

Should I simply continue with the next movie, or squeeze a series in? I've already seen WandaVision and liked it a lot.

@scy Voted for Hawkeye. Multiverse is right before/after WandaVision, so plot-wise a good choice. Loki is quite original, but kind of sets up the stuff that comes next for all Marvel movies (together with Quantumania).

At this point, I'd save Agents of SHIELD for later. It's very different, and story-wise goes with Cap: Winter Soldier, so will likely just feel slow for you at this point. It's a good show, but you can go back later if you have Marvel withdrawal, you've already skipped it.

@scy I haven’t seen WandaVision but recently Multiverse of Madness, and it seems WandaVision is connected to Multiverse of Madness. I’ve watched Loki and season 1 was a good introduction into the multiverse thing. (I’m also in the middle of Phase 4, so I don’t have much foreknowledge and might be wrong)

@smrqdt Yeah, WandaVision has a good chunk of important character development for Wanda. Plus, it's great fun and exciting, and really well made.

(And, fyi, the last two or three episode actually have mid-credits scenes.)

@smrqdt Also, there's some extra fun to be had if you've seen certain X-Men movies, but it's not at all required.

@scy the first couple of seasons of agents of shield were really fun! tho it fell off in the later seasons imo

Wait, if I understand Wikipedia correctly I should probably watch Daredevil before Hawkeye.

@scy Not necessarily. As I understand it, Netflix’s Daredevil isn’t canonically the same universe as the MCU. So, yes, you’ll find some of the actors from that show making their initial appearances in the MCU through Hawkeye, but the Netflix show doesn’t tell you who these people are. Not directly.

@erickolb Sounds a lot like what they've been doing with Peter's lawyer in No Way Home.

@scy … okay maybe you should, like, review the cast of Netflix’s Daredevil first. Yeah, it’s exactly like what they did with Peter’s lawyer in No Way Home.

@erickolb Hm. Yeah, see, even though I didn't know who he was, it felt very obviously like a cameo. And I've watched some audience reaction videos on YouTube, and people really enjoyed seeing him.

I'd love to enjoy things like that too, so maybe I should watch Daredevil first.

@scy The Netflix shows (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Power Fist and The Defenders) were separately owned, and Disney only recently got the TV rights back to these characters. So there are no real tie-ins outside Netflix, and who knows if they're considered canon.

I'd definitely say watch Daredevil before She-Hulk, it'll make the experience better. I don’t think there's anything you need to know in Hawkeye about the Netflix characters though. So not required watching.

@scy Personally, I still think that Agent Carter is the best MCU series.

@mikemccaffrey Without going into spoilers: Why? Because I have to say, I found her very uninteresting in the movies.

@scy I liked the relationships and interactions between Peggy and Jarvis. Papa Stark was also tons of fun in the episodes where he showed up.

However, in general, it seemed like an accurate representation of what a female super-spy would have faced in the old-boy's club in the era of the original James Bond.

@scy@chaos.social avatar

@mikemccaffrey Okay, you do make it sound intriguing … 🤔

@scy @mikemccaffrey NB — Agent Carter is an Agents of SHIELD Spinoff. But it's chronologically before AoS. So if you like it, that’d likely push Agents of SHIELD up a little on your list (though not much).
