Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted November 23, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 23, 2017 Wasn't even aware Runaways was out yet, will definitely catch up on that after I'm done with The Punisher. Struggling to keep up with these MCU shows lately. Not long got done finishing Inhumans, which was absolutely dreadful and I only persevered with because I'm an MCU completist.

Paid Members BigJag Posted November 26, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 26, 2017 Punisher is compelling viewing. Shockingly violent. Even fired up the stupidly loud PS3 just so I could watch it. It's not really for family viewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wideload90 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) Enjoying the punisher thus far (6 episodes in) but it is following the Netflix Marvel series formula of:Â Introduce character Flashbacks Cop buddy storyline running alongside Hero gets bested in action Origin storyline Hero will make a return I know I haven't seen all of it but it feels very familiar to Daredevil. It is the best portrayal of the punisher so far though. Just don't want to be disappointed. Edited November 26, 2017 by Wideload90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BigJag Posted November 26, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) You won't be disappointed. I've been nursing a killer toothache. Which has allowed me to watch the whole series over the last two days. I'd have preferred to stretch the viewing over a few more days. The violence is a lot to take in over a short period. They do a good job of giving Castle a human side along with his brutal one man army side. The bad guys are loathsome. A very good series. Edited November 26, 2017 by BigJag Spelling error.

WyattSheepMask Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) So the new trailer for Infinity War is out. I've seen bits of the MCU but I'm about as casual a fan as you can get with it with the exception of the two Guardians of The Galaxy films, which are great and could easily stand on their own. With them coming into the fold in Infinity War and this being the start of the Phase 3 culmination, if I were to want to catch up on the full story, what do I need to have seen and what can I skip? I don't fancy watching all 18 previous MCU films if I can get the same story in fewer Edited November 29, 2017 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted November 29, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 29, 2017 Maybe an Iron Man although it's not wholly necessary. The Captain America and Avenger titled films in order pretty much catches you up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members chokeout Posted November 29, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 29, 2017 As said, You can get up to speed by watching Avengers 1&2, winter soldier and Civil war. That should cover most things. Loving the trailer. Doesn't give too much away but has enough of those 'holy shit' snippets to get me excited. Few faces missing from it so will be interesting to see if there's a later trailer with them in it. im hoping the 'big thing floating in the sky with an army of faceless monsters coming from it' doesn't play a massive part as it's been done to death over the last few years, including the last 2 Avengers films, although the multiple locations and scale make it look far more like an all out war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't fancy watching all 18 previous MCU films if I can get the same story in fewer Thinking of needing the essentials, I’d say: Iron Man - good for Downey Jr, probably not essential as you get a sense of him from any Marvel film he’s in Incredible Hulk - skip Iron Man 2 - skip Thor - handy for backstory on various elements, introduces you to the outer space type elements Captain America - if you know he gets frozen and fights a Nazi-ish group called Hydra, you’re probably okay to skip this Avengers - watch Iron Man 3 - again good for Downey Jr but no long term consequences so skippable Thor 2 - skip Winter Soldier - handy to watch for a few key characters Guardians - initial set up of Thanos and infinity stones so handy to watch Age of Ultron - not the best but introduces Vision who’ll probably play a big role in Infinity War, so maybe watch Ant-Man - he can go tiny. Skip Civil War - puts many major players in position for Infinity War. Watch Dr Strange - looks to feature quite heavily if the trailer is any judge so maybe watch Guardians 2 - if you know Nebula hates Thanos you don’t need to watch this one Spider-Man - I had to edit this post when I forgot it so hard to argue it’s vital! You get most of what you need from Civil War so skip maybe Ragnarok - hard to say as it’s so recent but probably skippable in the grand scheme of things Black Panther - unknown but as it’s out two months before Infinity War there’ll probably be some useful set-up. Hope that helps! Edited November 29, 2017 by HarmonicGenerator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Harm's got it near dead on but I'd say Spider-Man Homecoming is worth a watch even considering the info you get from Civil War about him. Kudos though @HarmonicGenerator, a reasonable list I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 30, 2017 Moderators Share Posted November 30, 2017 It's a good list, although I'd argue say skip the first Thor because, whilst it has relevant things you may want to know about, it's really shit.

Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted November 30, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 30, 2017 I thought they were splitting Infinity War into two parts? Is it just a single film now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just a single film now? There's still two films, but Infinity War is just the first film. The second one has a different name, which they haven't announced yet as it's apparently an Infinity War spoiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
