[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 308456, member: 5079"] Well, how exciting. I was going to ask you in the SPIDER-MAN thread if you were a fan of the MCU as a whole, but with the holidays I hadn't made it back into that thread. Since you started with IRON MAN, you're proceeding in release order rather than chronological? (I don't think one is superior to the other.) Are you planning to tackle the MCU TV series as well? There are a ton. The ABC (AGENTS OF SHIELD; AGENT CARTER) and Netflix (DAREDEVIL; JESSICA JONES; etc.) shows are of debatable canon status and mostly peripheral, although AGENT CARTER addresses at least one thing you noted you'd like to see. The Disney+ series are far more integral. While nothing wrong with some casual comparisons, the sooner you let go of any expectation of fidelity, the less you're likely to gnash your teeth. I struggled with some of the changes early on but, at this point, the MCU are the real versions of these characters to me. IRON MAN is a darned good film; even with so many subsequent movies and series, the first IRON MAN remains in [URL='https://boxd.it/eraWU']my top 10[/URL] of the MCU. Friendly warning: they're not all that good! The MCU has gone through some rough patches of poor quality, and you'll hit one pretty soon if you're watching in release order. Once you get into the middle of "Phase Two", there' s a remarkable run of films. The MCU started so inauspiciously it's almost mind boggling what it grew into. [/QUOTE]
