Made a list of Marvel movies for someone who'd never seen ANY. (I *know*.) They wanted to know what to watch before "Avengers: Endgame" comes out. I broke them down like this:
1. My personal favorites
2. The ones you HAVE to see if you want to understand anything later
3. Not essential, but maybe watch them for plot points or characters that matter later on
4. And you can skip these unless you love the character
Here they are (each list in release order).
1. My personal favorites:

Iron Man
Captain America: The First Avenger
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Guardians of the Galaxy
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Spider-Man: Homecoming
Thor: Ragnarok
2. The ones you HAVE to see:

Thor
The Avengers
Avengers: Age of Ultron
Captain America: Civil War
Black Panther
Avengers: Infinity War
Captain Marvel
3. Not essential:

Thor: The Dark World
Ant-Man
Doctor Strange
Ant-Man and the Wasp
4. Skip if you want:

The Incredible Hulk
Iron Man 2
Iron Man 3
This press conference is over.

I've been thinking about the dichotomy in success rate between Marvel and DC movies, and with Avengers: Endgame coming out thought I'd roll out one (of many) possibilities. The DC characters, coming out of the 40s/50s and WW2, are for the most part authority figures....
...Batman is essentially a cop, Green Lantern is an interstellar cop, Flash is a cop/scientist, Superman is fundamentally a cop, Hawkman is a cop...you get the idea. Marvel came into its own in the anti-authoritarian 60s, so Sub-Mariner, Hulk and Thor answer to nobody....
...Spidey is a kid the authorities would like to have a word with, the X-Men are on the fringe of society, again, you get the point.

Authority figures tend to do very well in TV because when you're home, you want to know that your world is secure, the house is safe, and....

A big universal piss the fuck off for anyone who demands Jews list incidents of racism or insists they’ve never seen any racism in the Labour Party when there is so much overwhelming evidence coming out daily. You’re the problem & we owe you nothing.
Fuck you if your response to this is anything but “this isn’t good enough, how can we help?” Fuck you if you demand we expend all our energy calling out every antisemite on the planet before we call it out in our own ideological movement. Fuck you if you don’t believe Jews.
Please give yourself a huge kick in the nuts if you call yourself an anti-racist but are being wilfully obtuse about the rising tide of racism against British Jews and your own movement’s pivotal role in this surge. Put yourself in the bin if you think this is all about Israel.

#EndGame is approaching. What @mitchellvii has referred to as

#SlowWalker is about to be presented to the American People as

a Rollout involving Hearings, Indictments & HIGH PROFILE Arrests

that WILL stand up in Court.

When the full Scope of what they did is known=RAGE!
Don Jr. may very well be indicted in the days to come.

Before "Trump Supporters" start running around with their Hair ON FIRE,

Look at the last post's picture.

Griffin was posed & told to adopt that expression

As a MESSAGE to @realDonaldTrump

"BACK OFF! LAST CHANCE!"
It's now clear there's no Law the Left will not ignore or break

in their pursuit to bring down the President.

Well, it will soon become crystal clear to these Vile Stealth Marxists

SHITWEASELS that their Endless Bag of Dirty Tricks is powerless to stop

what's coming

How to read academic writing: Repeat.

First skim for the thesis statements and the major steps of the argument.

Then read the supporting paragraphs under the theses, but if they seem unclear, try reading the paragraphs backward.
Mostly the information and ideas that lead to the conclusion or sub-conclusion come after the conclusion is stated, often in nearly reverse order. So start at the end of the paragraph and try to get what each sentence says, in reverse.
Then once you have the gist of what they were trying to say and the logic of how they got there, you can decide if you want to read the thing.

You haven't really read it yet; you just figured it out.

But that's okay. Actually reading something is often not necessary.

#Avengers: Infinity War. So big. It's so big I can't even really process it.

And yes, that's epic scale; they take a big universe and make it even bigger. But it's also depth of character and big ideas and thematic richness.

So big.

Good thing I'm seeing it again tomorrow.
Here's the one thing I will say: In Civil War the @Russo_Brothers took a huge cast and created incredible arcs for half a dozen characters. Those characters start in one place, go through a crucible, and come out the other side somebody else. (1/)
They don't do that in Infinity War. Because it's not that kind of story. Instead they throw huge characters at each other and see what comes out.

And what comes out is this incredible panoply of contrasted themes. Big ideas debated through the language of action and film. (2/)

I’m watching all of the @Marvel movies with @ThereseTheBeast, we are going in release order over the next 8 weeks leading up to #AvengersInfinityWar

Yesterday was Iron Man, we just started The Incredible Hulk now.

Updating this thread with thoughts and lists as we go #marvel
💭 Most shocking moment so far in the @Hulk 2008 is @LivTyler dating the dad from Modern Family.

Also as much as I like Edward Norton I’m just picturing @MarkRuffalo in my head and this movie is even better.
Putting @Hulk on pause to talk Iron Man.

1. I forgot how we used to talk about Marvel movies being “grounded” or “realistic” especially when it comes to color pallete and portrayal of characters or events.

The colors in Black Panther and Thor 3 have come a long way since 2008.
