If you've never watched any of the MCU films except for the Avengers series

[Squarehard]

do you feel you would still be able to enjoy the films on the same level?

How different do you feel the experience would be? Do you feel there would be too many plot holes? Lack of character development? Or do you feel it'll still be a well-rounded experience regardless?

Do you have friends or acquaintances that have only done this? What kind of feedback have they given you?

It's a comic book movie, there are good guys and there are bad guys

 

[Lord Vatek]

Avengers 1? Yeah sure. Easily.

Age of Ultron? Eh... less so, but still doable.

Infinity War? Probably not, but you could still get some enjoyment.

Endgame? No way.

 

[The Unsent]

I would say they're still enjoyable, going by cinama scores and box office success. When you have these last two Avengers films making at least two billion each , they have to appeal to more people than the fans who have seen every movie. I'm not sure how they pulled it off with so many characters and cameos, and having an ambigious Avengers interquel with Captain America Civil War but its really impressive the broad appeal.

There are a good handful of MCU films I haven't seen, or don't remember very well, and a lot of little things in Endgame went over my head or were things I had to make assumptions about that my friends later confirmed.

Real glad I watched Age of Ultron a week before Endgame lol it put a lot into context

Same way I'd feel if we went 2 seconds without a new MCU thread here - an empty and joyless existence

Yeah, but then someone would jump in and compare it to TLJ and then the circle would be complete.

Less and less with each installment.

I don't know man Thanos has a point

 

[Cipherr]

What I loved the most about endgame is how much the happenings of Civil War and the accords bled EVEN MORE into the early central storyline of the movie. Once again taking a niiice big dump on the people claiming nothing of note or importance happened in CW. Trying to make that claim after IW and EG makes you look like a fool now.

My brother and his partner are huge MCU fans. They're still incredulous I've only seen 4: Iron Man 1 and 2, Guardians 1 and Ant Man 1.

Might catch up over the summer

 

[Glenn]

You'll understand the story.. but you'll be missing out on a ton of jokes and character moments

Endgame is a surprisingly character heavy movie

 

[THEVOID]

Yup. I really enjoyed the first Iron Man and I adore the GOTG series. Other then that I catch the Avengers.

Absolutely is. I am not a fan of a lot of Marvel's creative decisions (not trying to get into that here lol) that kept me from really having any interest in the films but seeing how it all came together at the end has got me wanting to go through all of them to see everyone's respective journeys.

OT, I've noticed that while the first two are pretty much fine as standalone experiences, it's when you get to Infinity War that you realize that if you haven't caught up by then, it feels like you're missing something.

Still a lot of fun.
