ultra_ficSo, I decided to start at the far end of my MCU DVD shelf and go through the whole thing. It's so long since I watched some of the, especially the Phase 1 stuff, and I kinda think it'd be cool to get right up to date in time for Thor Ragnarok coming out in Feb. (For those that don't know, I'm not a cinema goer and I don't download films from the web - I wait for DVD releases).
I found that I still love Iron Man & Iron Man 2 as much as ever, and that Captain America The First Avenger and Thor are still cool too. (I don't have The Incredible Hulk as I never cared for it, and it's not Ruffalo, so I don't feel like I need it anyhow). Avengers Assemble was always my favourite, and yet it seemed to be missing something on this rewatch. I wonder if it's just that it feels as if characters are missing now that the 'verse has expanded so much?
Iron Man 3 - I was convinced I didn't like this the first time around, and yet on this rewatch, I really enjoyed it! Then I started on Agents of SHIELD Season 1, watched up to Episode 7, and then dived into Thor The Dark World. Wow, I'd forgotten how 'blah' the second Thor film is. I have an affection for Season 1 of SHIELD still, but I'm in that strange minority that really enjoyed the format of the first season and gave up watching after the whole HYDRA/Ward is evil/superhero thing started happening, basically, once we were in a post-Captain America Winter Soldier world.
So, yeah, on I shall go through the rest of the films. I have everything in Phase 2, and all of Phase 3 that's on DVD so far, save for Doctor Strange (because seriously? What the hell was that? Sorry, didn't care for it at all!)
I might post again about this when I've rewatched some more, especially once I rewatch Age of Ultron, because I remember not caring much for that the first time either. Time will tell, I guess :)
