Marvel Timeline movies in order … but Eternals?!?

[grantinvanman 2469xp 0]

Just for fun, I’ve been bingeing the Marvels movies, in timeline order. Some are quite good, some great, some average.

But then… along comes Eternals. Wow, do I feel like I want 2.5 hours of my life back…

A cast that just didn’t seem to mesh, a story that was all special effects and no meat. Not much redemption, to my eye.

Anyone else feel that way about Eternals?

I just finished watching Iron Man 1, which was not too bad.
And now I’m wondering where to go from there without breaking the sequence as I think the Avengers movie happens somewhere after Iron Man 1.
Is there a list of the marvel movies in the ‘correct’ order ?

I’d say pretty much all of Marvel is all flash and no substance with precious few exceptions.
To think that within that series there’s even worse than that … *yikes*

In Disney+, they have the order in timeline. I’ll make a list for you during the next intermission in the hockey game.

It’s interesting as the movies are not in release order, so it reframes some stuff, and makes other things make more sense, I think?

Still, became a bit bloated at the end.

Here’s the order:

 

1. Captain America

2. Captain Marvel

3. Iron Man

4. Iron Man 2

5. Thor

6. Incredible Hulk (Ed Norton version- BAD!)

7. The Avengers

8. Thor: Dark World

9. Iron Man 3

10. Captain America: Winter Soldier

11. Guardians of the Galaxy

12. Guardians 2

13. Avengers Age of Ultron

14. Ant Man

15. Captain America: Civil War

16. Black Widow

17. Black Panther

18. Spider Man: Homecoming

19. Doctor Strange

20. Thor: Ragnarok

21. Ant Man and the Wasp

22. Avengers: Infinity War

23. Avengers: End Game

24. Shang Chi and 10 Rings

25. Spider Man Far From Home

26. Eternals (UGH!)

27. Spider Man No Way Home

28. Doctor Strange Multiverse

29. Wakanda Forever

30. Thor: Love & Thunder (so much fun!)

31. Ant Man and Wasp Quantumania

32. Guardians 3

33. The Marvels

34. Deadpool and Wolverine

35. Captain America: Brave New World

 

 

This list excludes the series, and it’s interesting to note Disney doesn’t have the Spider Man movies in their streaming service. Hmmm.

[avernosKeymaster 34528xp 1]

Disney doesn’t have the Spiderman films because they don’t own them, they make them under license from Sony, so Sony gets to choose where they are streamed from. Some day I hope Marvel will be able to get the license back but until then Sony mess about like this and make Madam Web and Craven the Hunter. You really don’t want to look those up by the way.

Thanks for that @avernos – I was sure it had something to do with some wonky licence issue.

Eternals isn’t the only stinker in that list.

Captain Marvel was … bad.
In Iron Man (and pretty much any decent movie) the hero goes from a selfish a-hole to a reluctant hero.
It’s not brilliant, but it gets the job done.

Captain Marvel never had to suffer or get any real character arc. At best you get half-arsed flashbacks that show she was strong all along. The subplot that ‘explains’ how Fury got his eyepatch is extreme cringe as I believe the kids would say.

Spiderman is an odd one to be sure. There have been 2 or 3 actors playing him. Toby McGuire (sp?) did his trilogy (avoid the 3rd which is a real stinker).
He only becomes part of the Marvel-movie universe in Civil War (I think).
It feels like there should be one before that one for him, but again … it’s by Sony.

Madam Web and the Marvels are to be avoided as well based on what I’ve heard.

Can’t disagree with you, @limburger – the random appearance of Spiderman in three(?) Avengers movies is very thin, too. At least he got in.

[limburger 21906xp 1]

lol … just watched Iron Man 2 and there’s a short scene with Musk in it too.

[grantinvanman 2469xp 0]

Yes there is! Like his spot on Big Bang Theory.

Man, what a weird thing to look back on, eh?

[yoodaisoonParticipant 17xp 1]

As Limburger queried the spelling, it’s Toby Maguire. And Spider-Man.

@grantinvanman very weird … and that scene was even more awkward than the one in BBT
I don’t know if he was a known tech bro at that time.

If they were to remake that movie they could have replaced Hammer with Musk … and it would have made complete sense 😀

(such a shame that Black Widow only got a movie when the Marvel Universe was going down hill …

Spiderman … does what a spider can 😉

I’ve never seen it spelled as ‘spider-man’. I guess that must be a recent thing.

btw:

Localising these super hero names kills a ton of their mystique.

I guess I should watch Captain America or Thor next.
Not sure if I want to watch captain plank again.

Yes, it always has been hyphenated.

Fun fact, the voice of the terrible 1960s Canadian cartoon production of Spider-man (which did give us the iconic song!), was voiced by Paul Soles. I met him in 1985 as he was living in North Bay, and my family bought a cat off him… still have his signature. 👍
