MCU BEST WATCH ORDER? We Fixed Marvel's Timeline!

What is the best order to rewatch the Infinity Saga? Should you start with Iron Man (2008) and proceed forward by release order, or start with Captain America The First Avenger (2011) and proceed chronologically? What new parallels, connections, themes, and revelations are opened up when you rearrange the Marvel timeline? Erik Voss fixes the MCU timeline and explains which order is the best to watch the Avengers films, from Phase 1 titles through Avengers Infinity War, Avengers Endgame, and Spider-Man Far From Home. How will Black Widow, The Eternals, and Shang-Chi fit in the Marvel timeline? Should Captain Marvel be watched before most other MCU titles? Should Marvel films like The Incredible Hulk or Thor The Dark World be skipped in MCU rewatches?

If any titles are missing on screen in earlier lists, the final lists at 10:05 are correct. (I know Black Panther technically takes place before Homecoming chronologically, but at the end of the day, the plots are so disconnected from each other that it does not matter chronologically which order you watch those two in.) Release, Chronological, Cosmic, or Iron... which watch order do you like best?

[farish_]

someone should make and order of every "scene" is all marvel movie and make to a single movie

[erlosung]

Me:trying to figure out how to watch the mcu in order....

Erik: BOOM you looking for this

[philliplu]

Theory: Marvel is delaying movies so the timeline matches up with endgame

[hunter]

Why can’t Disney+ watch this video and make a section in the application that puts them in order

[mybuttaftertacobell]

"Infinity saga rewatch"
"Boom"
All great Eric quotes

[tresrules]

To be more specific, Black Panther takes place a week after Civil War.

In the beginning, in that Wakandan ship T'Challa and Okoye are riding in, you can hear a news broadcast in the background, and the reporter says something about a week since T'Chaka's death

That "Cosmic Order" has to be my favorite! It puts more emphasis on the stones which is what the heros and villains main focus end up being, and I love the touch of seeing the stones in the same order Thanos gets them! 😸

[OneTakko]

gonna watch all of the movies in every way on this list

[danjames]

Doctor Strange should be right before Thor: Ragnorok because the end credit scene in Doctor Strange litterally connects with Thor 3

[AJAM]

The one thing everyone agrees on: endgame and far from home are last

[JDEdwards]

The MCU is amazing. My vote is for Cosmic Order. Being introduced to the Infinity Stones by the order Thanos acquires them is a God Tier move

[TToanTran]

Man I’m glad I was alive to see all those movies especially towards the end with IW and Endgame

[srishroxsy]

Be honest! How many people screenshot the "all orders" frame?

[charlotteford]

I would like to see a take on the timeline which includes the TV shows, one-shots and comics that intertwine with the timeline of the movies in chronological order.

[adrienav]

I watched them all in chronological order during quarantine and it made a lot of sense from an origin standpoint (especially noticing things I missed the first time I watched), but I’m very intrigued by the cosmic order. I feel like that really helps dissect the details and backstory of the infinity saga and where it eventually ends up.

[dagger]

New Rockstars: "Which order do you prefer to watch the MCU in?"
Me: "Yes"

[hectorminator]

Me, pulling up this video: "SIGH, okay, let's see what these guys have cooked up..."

Erik: "And go check out our friend Hector's list over at Nerdist!"

Me: "...well played, Erik. Well played."

(And it's an awesome QUAD-LIST of orders that I heartily approve of! Nicely done!!!)

[mrjagrown]

Holy shit that cosmic order looks real interesting, damn it now I’m gonna have to rewatch them all again when black widow comes out

[truthspreader]

The only thing that would mess up some of these list is the post credit scenes....
