This summer I didn't go on any trips. I didn't take any adventures away from home. I didn't go to any theme parks, fairs or even wild crazy Walmart card shopping adventures. Outside of going to the grocery store, running errands, spending time with family my summer was a quiet one. One that didn't cost a lot of money for the money I don't have.
However, with that time I discovered a new passion in life, watching Marvel Movies.
*takes a sip*
The first movie I watched was Guardians Of The Galaxy and from there, I was hooked. The wit, humor and action in the movie had me. I followed that up with Guardians Of The Galaxy Two and then started to expand my watching.
Up until this summer, the only Marvel character I had any interest in was Spider-Man. I grew up watching that cartoon and thought he was the coolest, other than Batman. I also watched the three-what I consider OG movies-that featured Tobey Maguire. But, never had interest in watching the newer ones. Well, as my summer went on, I took a dip into those and really liked them.
The first one I watched was Spider-Man Homecoming.
Which featured a younger cast for the characters in this universe. Aunt May, hey eyes on the writing I see them drifting upward, was played by Marisa Tomei instead of an elderly woman.
MJ was played by Zendaya who is believed to be a rising star in Hollywood.
And Spider-Man was played by Tom Holland. Who I thought played the role really well.
The movie was the 16th movie in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) order. I didn't watch any of the movies in order so I can't remember which order I saw this one. I just wished I had watched them in order, but I chose the ones I wanted to see first, then I have gone back and tried to watch the others in order.
Here are the movies, crossed out, I have seen this summer in the MCU.
Phase One (2008-2012)
The Incredible Hulk
Thor
Captain America: The First Avenger
Marvel’s The First Avengers
Phase Two (2013-2015)
Thor: The Dark World
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Guardians of the Galaxy
Avengers: Age of Ultron
Ant-Man
Phase Three (2016-2019)
Doctor Strange
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Spider-Man: Homecoming
Thor: Ragnarok
Black Panther
Ant-Man and the Wasp
Captain Marvel
Spider-Man: Far From Home
The Multiverse Saga: Phase Four (2021-2022)
Black Widow
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Eternals
Spider-Man: No Way Home
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
Thor: Love and Thunder
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Eternals
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
(I am lacking in this group. Black Widow, Shang-Chi and Eternals didn't look that exciting, but I will give them a try. Wakanda will have to wait until I watch the first and I believe Doctor Strange will be one of the next movies I am watching)
Phase Five (2023-2024)
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
The Marvels
The Marvels
(Ant-Man is coming up in my next three, The Marvels releases soon but I have to watch the other first)
This is just the movie part of the universe, there are also spinoff shows on Disney+. The one that intrigues me most is Loki, which is the spinoff from Thor.
But, I am going to finish the movies first.
*takes a sip before finishing up today's post*
I have started a fairly small collection of Marvel cards from these movies including the cards above and I am always looking for more. Especially autographs and relic cards from the movies.
Here is where I would rank my wants most in order,
Guardians Of The Galaxy
Spider-Man
The Avengers
Thor
Ant-Man
Then anything else.
I hope in comments you will let me know if you enjoyed any of these movies and went as crazy as I did watching them.
Hope you have a great Tuesday.

Guardians of the Galaxy is my favorite too, and that third movie was about as perfect of a wrap-up to the trilogy as you could expect. The Eternals (and the yet to be released Marvels) are the only ones I haven't seen.
ReplyDeleteI know, I just want more Galaxy!! But, won't be the same without the full cast
DeleteSorry, but these movies don't hit the top of my watchlist. I'm not a Marvel person. There are people in my house that are fans and I'm sure they have seen some of these. I just took the last gulp of my coffee. There might be a refill in order. Enjoy this day!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't a marvel person either until I started watching them. I liked Batman and Spiderman and that was it. But I gave them a chance and became hooked
DeleteSince you only mentioned Homecoming, I had assumed you didn't see the other 2 Holland movies yet, but you did. What did you think? For me overall, Phase 4 and 5 have been a disappointment, other than No Way Home and Guardians 3.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I liked No Way Home and Guardians 3, but the couple I have seen in Phase 4 and 5 haven't been great. I wasn't too much of a fan of the Thor ending for Love and Thunder
DeleteThor Ragnarok is one of my favorites
ReplyDeleteThat was by far the best of the Thor series
DeleteMy favorites were Infinity War and Endgame. I love how they tied all of of the other movies together... and it was filled with action. The latest Marvel movie I watched was the 3rd Guardians of the Galaxy. I liked it. But honestly... I like all of them (however Phase 3 is my favorite).
ReplyDeleteAGree on all of this!
