ST Poll: Which five MCU films would you recommend to someone who hasn't seen any yet, but wants to get ready for Infinity War?

Posted by con_carne Nov 29 '17, 09:18

Which are the most essential to get ready for that movie? Or, should this person not worry about understanding the whole extravaganza and just latch onto their favorite titles/characters and gain their entry that way?

Responses:

the Thor short which came out last year where he wonders who the purple man in the chair is, is all you need -- nm* - peglegpete Nov 29, 09:41
All the ones with Captain America - oh wait, that is just me who needs to do that. - Epiphany Nov 29, 09:40 1
- seven! -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Nov 29, 09:40
It's not like it comes out Friday. Just watch them all in order. But overall, I think Remlik nails it. -- nm - Shaun Nov 29, 09:32 16
- This person I'm asking for, who is a handsome genius btw, may have already seen several of the films and then promptly forgotten about them. - con_carne Nov 29, 09:49 3
  - also - I did read - Epiphany Nov 29, 09:55 2
    - But there was a nice development a couple days later, did you read that? :) -- (edited) - con_carne Nov 29, 10:16 1
      - I did not see this update!! work it man work it!! -- nm - Epiphany Nov 29, 11:23
- I like IM1 for the setup of Tony Stark, who seems to be at the center of all these movies somehow. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 09:33 10
  - he does doesn't he? -- nm - Epiphany Nov 29, 09:38 8
    - IM1 set-up the entire universe, and RDJ is the most popular thing to come from it. Sorry, I know you want your boy but it is true. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 09:40 5
      - I was not being serious - I love Iron Man and RDJ - I don't mind he's forefront. If Iron Man had not been so great - a lot of people would not have - Epiphany Nov 29, 09:41 4
        
        It's always funny to me when I catch some Avengers action because his suit is so cheesy compared to the Winter Solider suit. -- nm - Shaun Nov 29, 09:55 3
        
        well, Winter Soldier suit was not built by Stark Industries. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 10:01 2
        
        ...? -- nm - Shaun Nov 29, 10:04 1
        
        bad guys almost always look cooler than the good guys. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 10:06
    - moreso in the movies than the comics themselves, IMO -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 09:39 1
      - Iron Man is the base of the Avengers, at least. - Spawn Nov 29, 09:41
  - Yup. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 09:34
- Avengers 2 is as necessary as the first, though. - Spawn Nov 29, 09:33
Iron Man 1, Cap 1, Avengers 1 & 2, GotG, Thor 2 -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 09:24 19
- I would not send anyone to see Thor 2 - groiny Nov 29, 09:25 17
  - It’s thematically appropriate, but I don’t disagree with you. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 29, 09:26
  - That is Cap 1 for me, but still essential to understanding. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 09:26 15
    - it is a toss up between IM3 and Thor 2 which I hate the most. - groiny Nov 29, 09:29 14
      - I like IM3 more than Thor 2 and Ultron -- nm - Beryllium Nov 29, 09:30 13
        
        I have not re-watched Thor 3 since the theater run (but I did see it twice there). Need to do so. I liked Ultron more upon viewing last year. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 09:31 7
        
        Ill probably rewatch all MCU movies prior to IW -- nm - eag Nov 29, 09:33 6
        
        I might, but that would mean I would have to watch Cap 1 again. *shiver* -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 09:38 5
        
        I also - am not a fan of it. shockingly so. -- nm - Epiphany Nov 29, 09:40 1
        
        Idiots. -- nm - David Nov 29, 09:47
        
        I also do not understand why you dislike it so much. - groiny Nov 29, 09:39 2
        
        Pippy and I are right. Deal with it. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 09:42 1
        
        the movie tells you everything you ever need to know about Steve Rogers motivations and morals. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 09:44
        
        how they could mess up a movie with an army of Iron Man suits baffles me. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 09:31 4
        
        spoils - Shaun Nov 29, 09:33 3
        
        spoils - Beryllium Nov 29, 09:35
        
        yes, although I did like the portrayal of him at first. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 09:34 1
        
        Big time. -- nm - Shaun Nov 29, 09:34
- I would make it 6 and include Dr Strange. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 09:25
Captain America, The Avengers, Thor: Dark World, GotG are the four movies that have specifically featured the infinity stones IIRC -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Nov 29, 09:22 11
- Hmmm. Really? Thanks. -- nm - con_carne Nov 29, 09:27 5
  - Most of the movies have not been necessarily overt (especially early on) informing the audience that these were infinity stones -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Nov 29, 09:29 4
    - Also you gotta add Dr Strange -- nm - eag Nov 29, 09:30 2
      - Poll : Why has eag blocked me? -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 09:32 1
        
        Both of us. Too many warthog murders? -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 09:34
    - and really, if you just see GofG, it tells you everything you need to know about them. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 09:30
- Ultron and Civil War have one inside Vision's forehead. -- nm - Inigo Nov 29, 09:23 1
  - One takeaway from this poll for me is that I should rewatch a few titles - con_carne Nov 29, 09:33
- Dr Strange. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 09:23 1
  - Ah yes, that one also. Thanks -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Nov 29, 09:23
- that's the list I was going for, thanks -- nm - Beryllium Nov 29, 09:22
Iron Man , Avengers, Guardians, CA:CW ,Thor Rag -- nm - eag Nov 29, 09:21
Iron Man, Avengers, Cap 2, Civil War, Thor: Ragnarok -- nm - Inigo Nov 29, 09:21
Umm. Hmm. - Beryllium Nov 29, 09:21
Iron Man, Cap Winter Soldier, Cap Civil War, Thor Ragnarock, Guardians of Galaxy -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 09:20
Avengers 1, Captain America Winter Solider and Civil War, Thor, Guardians of Galaxy 1 -- nm - Remlik Nov 29, 09:20 2
- I like this list. Trying to decide if Ragnarok can replace the 1st Thor. -- nm - volnelk Nov 29, 09:21
- yeah, maybe Avengers 1 instead of IM1 -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 09:21
