I’m watching all the Marvel movies, in chronological order. So far, “Captain America: The First Avenger”, Captain Marvel, and Iron Man. Opinions differ over which is next—The Hulk or Iron Man 2. I decided to stick with Iron Man bc I hated the first one… less than expected.Permalink On twitter.com

I suspect the fact that the first Iron Man merely got on my nerves instead of becoming an object of my hatred had to do with being directed by @jonfavs but who’s to say, really.Permalink On twitter.com
-
Anyway I’m now at the climax of Iron Man 2 and in the HUD of the pwned Iron Man suit I see… lines from an .htaccess file???Permalink On twitter.com

Okay couple things. 1. The Incredible Hulk wasn’t great, but it wasn’t NEARLY as bad as the entire world seems to think it is. 2. Whoever said it comes after Iron Man 2 chronologically was absolutely right, it does not fit between the Iron Mans. Iron Men. Men Iron. Whatever.Permalink On twitter.com

It’s Thor time!Permalink On twitter.com

Honestly I think the appropriate order is 1. Captain America: The First Avenger 2. Captain Marvel 3. Iron Man 4. Iron Man 2 5. Thor 6. The Incredible Hulk 7. The Avengers There are little clues in each that make this order make the most sensePermalink On twitter.com

Avengers time! This movie came out in 2012, which is a year I still haven’t fully recovered from. No wonder I missed it.Permalink On twitter.com

I’ve fallen behind on my Marvel commentary but here’s an update: Iron Man 3 is my favorite so far. The entire movie revolves around PTSD, coping with trauma, destigmatizing mental illness, and self acceptance—all in the face of the burden of masculinity—really did it for me.Permalink On twitter.com
-
Okay next, Thor: The Dark World. It was fine. Actiony. Overall I found it on the boring side and certainly not the cleverness I’ve been sold on for Thor movies. (I’ve seen bits of Ragnarok though and those made me laugh so I’m optimistic)Permalink On twitter.com
-
Captain America is basically my least favorite superhero of all time and I resent everyone involved in the act of making him introspective and a touch more cynical because dammit I enjoyed hating him.Permalink On twitter.com
-
Anyway Winter Soldier was surprisingly good and once again addressed mental illness & trauma in an otherwise over-the-top masculine setting—this time cPTSD. Also fed the Cap a healthy dose of cynicism and distrust. I’m coming around. Still gotta do something about that NAME tho.On twitter.com

Relevant Marvel content too. @gesa/1251314551401795584Permalink On twitter.com

I’ve already seen both Guardians of the Galaxy (the first multiple times) but I watched them again anyway and HOLY CRAP I UNDERSTAND SO MUCH MORE. The biggest help was Captain Marvel. Now I get who the Kree are!Permalink On twitter.com
-
Avengers: Age of Ultron. This whole time I’ve pictured Jarvis as Samuel Anderson (Danny Pink in Doctor Who) and was entirely taken aback by “Doctor Manhattan, but Marvel”. For a couple of people who volunteered for Hydra *on purpose* the twins seemed to switch sides too easy.Permalink On twitter.com
-
I’ve seen Ant Man before, but I’m glad I watched it again bc the immortal (seriously I think he’s immortal) Paul Rudd is a gift. The redemption arc is so much more… realistic except with super science? Looking forward to understanding why tf he’s on house arrest in the sequel.Permalink On twitter.com
-
Captain America Civil War: ohhhhh, so *that’s* why Ant Man is about to be arrested. Also wow they sure did just make Cap the anti-authoritarian here. Also also yeah I’d be pissed if “Captain America” destroyed my neighborhood in mfing Lagos.Permalink On twitter.com
-
More thoughts on Civil War Hooray for Black Panther! So thaaaaats how King T’Chaka dies. Oh this Spider-Man kid is gonna drive me up the wall, isn’t he.Permalink On twitter.com
-
Seriously though I kind of hate Civil War bc it encapsulates my least favorite aspect of all Marvel movies (and indeed media in general). ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED OR SOLVED BY DISMISSING THE TESTOSTERONE FROM THE ROOM.Permalink On twitter.com
-
Indeed Tom Holland’s Spider-Man just grates on my nerves—by no fault of Holland himself! I suspect it’s just that teenage boys grate on my nerves and he plays it well. Every Cap appearance in this movie made me laugh out loud though. Also the ending was 💯Permalink On twitter.com
-
Doctor Strange feels like such an outlier. Fantasy in a sci-fi world. I’m looking forward to understanding how he fits in to the broader MCU.Permalink On twitter.com

I think I already passed where this would fit chronologically but I’d interrupt for this 😂 @CLINT/1252603690235633664Permalink On twitter.com

IT’S BLACK PANTHER TIIIIIIIIIIME. Saw this one in the theaters opening week. As with the few other MCU films I’d seen before, I had absolutely no concept of the world in which it fit. Still enjoyed the hell out of it tho.Permalink On twitter.com

Black Widow, Gamora, Wasp, Groot, and I have $1 left over, which is fine. @EW/1252722530110050307Permalink On twitter.com

I know I haven’t actually gotten to Ant Man & the Wasp yet, but I saw it last year some time so it's not like I entirely don't know who she is.Permalink On twitter.com

I fucking love Black Panther. Was nice to understand how T’Chaka died, who tf Klaue was, and what the token white guy was doing there. Also goddamn Michael B. Jordan is just like… overwhelmingly gorgeous. Stop, you’re supposed to be bad. ish. mostly.Permalink On twitter.com

OMG THAT’S BUCKY BARNES! AT THE END! OMG! I GET IT NOW!Permalink On twitter.com

I watched Thor: Ragnarok! It was fun. It was funny. It had Cate Blanchett, Jeff Goldblum, and Tessa Thompson—it could do no wrong. Also tied together where tf Hulk went at the end of Age of Ultron when Black Widow left that nice message on his answering machine.Permalink On twitter.com

Ant Man and the Wasp was fun! The first 15 minutes made waaaaaaay more sense to me this time around. Still wanna see that legendary Luis-explains-the-avengers clip.Permalink On twitter.com

Now I’m on to Infinity War and 1. No wonder everyone loves this movie EVERYONE IS IN IT. 2. Peter saying “you know that really old movie where…” makes me weep. THIS TIME IT WAS ALIENS.Permalink On twitter.com

Also I paused Infinity War during the big battle and came back much later and for a brief moment I also forgot who Thor was. Because hair.Permalink On twitter.com

I started watching Endgame and so far I’m mostly just pissed that Steve Rogers shaved. And thrilled to see Captain Marvel _obviously_.Permalink On twitter.com

OH MY GOD THAT’S RIGHT THAT’S HOW ANT-MAN ENDED. omg I totally forgot. Omg.Permalink On twitter.com

Am I reading into this correctly that Tony Stark made Steve Rogers uncomfortable giving him a shield bc he doesn’t really wanna be Captain America anymore?Permalink On twitter.com

wait wait wait Banner basically sent Hulk to therapy and now the Hulk can’t really get into raging out? The whole underlying message of “go to therapy, work your shit out” of Marvel movies it an unexpected delight.Permalink On twitter.com

Wait during this fight with Thanos Thor’s magic beard braid is now a weird beard twist tie which I am also here for but the braid was betterPermalink On twitter.com

Heh heh heh Ant Man punched the millipede. But gigantic. Honestly this whole fight scene is the first I super cared about. And it’s adorable. Oh god Peter Parker is back too, right. Okay. Try not to suck, Peter Parker.Permalink On twitter.com

I was in the middle of typing a tweet about how badass the Scarlet Witch is and then Captain Marvel showed up and the approximately 50% of the women in this series show up which is apparently plenty to kick 100% of the ass.Permalink On twitter.com

Oh no Tony Stark is in charge of the fate of the universe.Permalink On twitter.com

I still want a Pepper Potts movie.Permalink On twitter.com

Wait hold on coercing a black man who already had a badass superhero identity into becoming Captain America does not somehow magically absolve Captain America of being a problematic af and deeply uncomfortable symbol of nationalism.Permalink On twitter.com

This was a terrible cherry on top of an otherwise okay ending. Steve Rogers was doing a great job of growing as a character. But now poor Sam has this shit hoisted on him and either he’s gonna do awesome aka cringey or he’s gonna be self-aware enough to be like this is bsPermalink On twitter.com

But I am not convinced the writers are gonna let him be so self-awarePermalink On twitter.com

Regardless. I know there’s an incoming Black Widow movie. I want a Pepper Potts movie too.Permalink On twitter.com
