Whoever says to watch the MCU in anything other than release order doesn't know what they're talking about. A first-time viewer shouldn't watch it any other way.
Fun fact: The Hulk was created by trying to recreate the super soldier serum under the direction of General Ross. Steve was the first super soldier and people struggled and failed many times with trying to recreate it.
There’s also the exposition about it in The Incredible Hulk where Ross explains to Blonsky that what Banner was attempting to do was replicate the super soldier serum, and that it didn’t really work the way they thought it would.
I'm in the middle of the video but the Red Skull has a red skull because he took an early serum like Steve did and it amplified the evil within himself as the new serum amplified the good in steve. Bad becomes worse, good becomes great.
THAT was worthy of "Mystery Science Theater 300", "RiffTrax", "Cinematic Titanic", "The mads", and whatever other project have spawned from the original group!
This was when the MCU really found its footing. A lesser studio that didn't have faith in its characters would've tried to make Captain America dark, brooding, edgy, like WB tried to do with Aqua Man. Instead they allowed him to be square. They allowed him to be decent and good, and made the argument that we should love him for those old fashioned qualities. And they won that argument.
I don't think he is square. Authenticity is an admirable trait, and irony usually seems to be fear trying to pass itself off as cynicism. Embracing the former and rejecting the latter is cool shit.
I never ever thought that I would get emotionally invested in this universe. LET ME TELL YOU HOW WRONG I WAS. Just wait. These stories are so beautifully crafted and the character growth you see and the personal turmoil that comes...its beautifully done and I don't think we will ever see another universe done as well as this was done.

Release order is perfect because that’s how almost every fan saw them first. Chronological order is for second or even third time around when you remember everything that has gone on, all the tiny clues you can miss the first time.
When I see someone watching cpt marvel straight after first avenger I lose my damn shit. Like you dont understand like 50% of the references in the movie. Chronological order means shit, they were meant to be watched in the order they were released, not as events happened.
10:31 The poison pill hidden in a tooth was a common practice in the old days. If officers who had sensitive material were captured, they would bite down on the capsule rather than risk being tortured for the information.
@@kilpta4746 I haven't kept up with military espionage practices, so I'm not aware of any updates they've made. I just know it was common back then. I'll defer to your knowledge on modern practices.
@@TheLightSideReactions Fair enough. I should clarify, I’m no expert either, and good on you for not speaking in absolutes (the internet does that too much lol) A newer method could totally be used nowadays but also suicide is less common nowadays in espionage, but it’s hard to beat the efficiency of a cyanide capsule. I’m not aware of anything much better than it.
A former CIA training director said “The poison tooth is purely hollywood - it’s a terrible, terrible idea. Imagine losing an agent because a sandwich has a bit of gristle! We prefer to just not tell agents anything they don’t need to know so they can’t reveal it under torture.”
"Why is he not knocking one of them out and putting on their uniform!" Because that's a war crime going back to the 1800s (and still is today for that matter). If you use the enemy's uniform, flag, emblem, or other identifying marker for the purposes of deception, you lose all rights to all other protections under the articles of war. If Steve got caught breaking them out, the worst they could legally do is capture him as a prisoner of war where he must be treated with the same basic rights as any other soldier. If he got caught doing so while wearing a German uniform, he has no rights and they can do whatever they want. Granted, Hydra would've done whatever the hell they wanted regardless if they caught him, but Steve didn't know that at the time. If in doubt: Steve Rogers is a Lawful Good Paladin. He always does the right thing the right way, even if it's harder than doing the right thing the wrong way. "The ends justify the means" doesn't fly with Captain America because if you stoop to the level of the evil you're fighting, you become that evil. He will do things the hardest way possible if the easier ways are evil no matter how good the outcome would be, and he will hold those around him to that same standard. He will take shortcuts like removing the pin holding up the flagpole to knock it over when he couldn't climb it, but he wouldn't have done that if he was ordered to "climb the flagpole" rather than just "capture the flag".
@@gspendlove If you watch Civil War movies, both sides used nearly identical rain gear. It made it difficult to know which side someone rode for in bad weather. If it was suspicious, you would be asked to turn over the lapel to show the uniform below. Part of the backstory of the term 'turncoat'.
Whenever people try to ask me about alignment (as in the old D&D style of alignment), I always go with Captain America = Lawful Good, Iron Man/Tony Stark = Chaotic Good, Thanos = Lawful Evil, Loki = Chaotic Evil. The others (true neutral, lawful/chaotic neutral, neutral good/evil) are a bit harder to explain, at least in terms of Marvel Characters.
@@thomaspappalardo7589 When you see the cover of Captain America Comics #1 in this movie, it was shown without Bucky, since Sergeant Barnes was an adult soldier and the comic book had Bucky as the teen ward and camp mascot. If you watch the scene in Iron Man 2 when the briefcase was opened, Howard Stark had the comic book with Bucky on the cover.
This. Genuinely don't understand why anyone would suggest chronological order for a first viewing. The films are _very_ clearly designed to be viewed in release order. Other orders are strictly for novelty value on re-watch.
Thank you! People need to stop telling reactors to watch them chronologically if it's their first time. They came out in the order they did for a reason.
@@anonymes2884 I disagree. Captain Marvel is not obviously designed to be where she is. That movie should have been released before Infinity War at the least. And I think it would have benefited from being released before Guardians of the Galaxy. Then we would have transition from her the past to Star-Lord in the past back to the present day. As it is she feels like a deus ex machina insert. I don't think it was planned. I think they decided rather late in the process that she was going to be the lead of the next phase that just kind of forced her there in the middle of the last two chapters. It would be like if 45 minutes into the Last Jedi, they introduced a powerful New lightside Jedi. Or if in the last few episodes of Game of Thrones, suddenly some person came from the Southlands who we had never seen before and they ended up getting the throne. If you see her early and then kind of forget about her, then when she returns oh, it feels like she has a place in the story. Otherwise I'm with you on the release order all the way. Captain America is better because it follows after the Iron Man films.
@@macmcleod1188 They should have never added Captain Marvel to the Infinity Saga at such a late stage. She was an insert to that story. The original plan was to introduce her after Endgame. For whatever reasons, Marvel decided to add her to a story she had no part in originally and it's obvious as the directors of Endgame stated they had no idea how to include her in their story. They had her show up early, sent her of screen for the rest of the movie to do whatever, until she returns to do the deus ex machina thing. There's really no order you can put these movies in that would cover the mistake Marvel made with Captain Marvel being in the Infinity Saga.
@@captainshadow3756 we're really discussing a better order for Ashley to view the movies in. Watching Captain Marvel before infinity war will improve the flow. Watching Captain Marvel before Guardians of the Galaxy is about the best spot to introduce the character. We're not discussing fixing the situation. The movies made. It can't be fixed.
Honestly I don't really like this first one, but captain is such a good character out of time, also I dont like hydra in this, the idea that there are these secret extra evil advanced nazis doesn't sit right with me, hydra in the sequels works for me though
@@ingibingi2000 historically do I think something like hydra existed, no. Due to how many people in the hierarchy of the Nazi party were out for power, would it suprise me if it was discovered that there was a secret group? Lol, no.

If anyone keeps saying you should watch in Chronological order please just ignore that. The first time one watches it should be in release date order otherwise there are times when end credit scenes won't line up to make sense. So know that you are doing it right. Now in like 5 years when you're done and you want to re-watch then you can do chronological order

The director of CA got the job because he did it so well before. He directed "The Rocketeer", another period comic book hero brought to the screen. A very overlooked movie at the time that has developed a following since.
Speaking of Tommy Lee Jones, you should definitely watch _The Fugitive_ (1993), which also stars Harrison Ford. Based on the hugely popular 1960s series of the same name, it is an excellent thriller. Also, Tommy Lee Jones' character and performance was so popular that a sequel was produced just to cast him in the role again: _U.S. Marshals._
Never underestimate the little guy. Audie Murphy was too small to join the Marines in WWII so he went to the Army. He then went on to become the most decorated veteran in US history.
He then became an actor and did a movie based on his life! “To hell and back” a movie that he says had to be toned down based off real events since people would not believe it!
I echo what everyone is saying about "The Fugitive." (One of "the general's" aka Tommy Lee Jones most iconic roles.) It is absolutely a classic, so it can be watched on Mondays.
@@ravenwraith1017 I think the novelization of Iron Man 2 name drops it as Vibranium, but since the movies went in a different direction, that's not canon. A more recent source says Tony wanted to patent the new element as "Badassium", but there were too many legal issues. Lol
@@GamersOdyssey Palladium is an actual element on the periodic table (#46, silver is #47). It's really expensive stuff, along with Gold, Silver, and Platinum it's a metal used as currency. Most of the palladium mined gets used in catalytic converters in car exhaust systems. Stark used palladium to make the original arc reactor (they scavenge it from the guidance chips in that cave to make the core conductor ring of the arc coil). The Palladium is supposedly what is poisoning Tony, though it's not very toxic (it's also used in silver fillings - so you may have trace amounts in your mouth right now!). The "element" Tony makes in Iron Man 2 is brand new and doesn't have a name. Presumably it's a stable super-heavy artificial element (pretty much all of the artificial elements heavier than Plutonium are too big to be stable and rapidly decay into lighter elements).
I was so HYPE in 2012, but a part of me was thinking that they could just not pull it off. I mean, such a massive live action crossover event? Madness! It couldn't be done! Boy, was I so happy to be wrong.
@@juliodavila424 I've been on board the mcu train since Iron man, and for four years straight i was convinced that the next movie was going to screw it all up, or they were just going to stop making them for some reason. When Avengers finally came out, it was _such_ a relief! Because no matter what they did after, we at least got that far.
I smile from EAR to EAR when I see and hear your confusion - DONT ever change , watch everything as you see fit , and avoid any explanations and spoilers ! It will be rough , MCU is a long and severely intertwined path , BUT as long as you have a great time my smile will NOT go away ! Excelsior !!! PS - I met Stan Lee and have his autograph .
Honestly, watching them in release order is the safest way to watch. Especially with the after credit scenes which can generally spoil things later. You're doing great! I really hope you consider doing a special two part reaction for all of the Avenger films. They really deserve it. Can't wait though!
The scene where he comes out the chamber and Peggy Carter touches him on the chest was not part of the script. Hayley Atwell said she couldn't help herself. Lol Fun useless information.
I think you would love the Agent Carter series - you can find it on Disney + and it is literally one of my favorite shows of all time. Also was written by women for a female lead character and you can really tell that they knew exactly what they were doing. And of course Hayley Atwell is badass and beautiful throughout.
@@Thor_Odinson she's the best. I can never blame Cap for doing everything he did (no spoilers here). Out of all the ladies in all the Marvel MCU movies, she's the only one that gave this old f*art a crash like he was a teenager all over again!
I got to stand 2 feet away from her at a comic con and look in those eyes. She was so sweet and SO beautiful. I also really loved her TV show, Agent Carter. I was really sad when they cancelled it.
He means Howard Stark, it's all about context, certain things just make more sense in release order. Chronological order is a thing you could do for a second viewing, but not for the first time.
The only reason I suggest machete order for Star Wars first time watchers is because of the changes Lucas made after the fact. MCU hasn't jerked their product around like that so release order is the way to go.
Watching the MCU in release order makes the most sense and for the most satisfying experience. People who suggest watching in chronological order to anyone just getting started really fail to comprehend how much these movies build on familiarity with characters from previous movies (for example, Captain Marvel relies heavily on the audience being familiar with characters that are introduced in movies that only come later in chronological order).
I was EXACTLY the same Ashleigh. I was never, ever interested in those 'crappy superhero films' - then on a whim we decided to try them in release order like you are doing and absolutely fell in love with them. You've got so much good stuff to come :)
Also No Country for Old Men, Thaddeus Stevens in Lincoln, the prison warden in Natural Born Killers, a wonderfully fun villain in Under Siege, and so much else.
Hayley Atwell loves the role of Agent Carter so much that she's suggested the Marvel people write a bunch of stories about what she was up to across the 20th century, and then wait for her to be the appropriate age to film each one.
In the comics there is a what if timeline where the assassin shot the doctor and Steve before the experiment so she ended up taking the serum to catch the guy and became captain America.
You actually managed to hit a big fan theory, that Tony’s arc reactor technology is based on the tesseract. The further supposition, is that he makes vibranium to fuel it…
Ohhhh.... Never put that together, but that makes sense. Howard Stark did work with vibranium as evidenced by the existence of Cap's shield. Never put that together
@@anniedownum451 it’s totally unconfirmed, but it makes sense the new element he creates to power his arc reactor is vibranium. His father worked with it for years but couldn’t replicate it.
The arc reactor that Howard designed (and Tony later minaturized for his armor) was Howard's attempt to duplicate the energy source found in the Tesseract. Obviously, it wasn't going to put out as much power as an Infinity Stone, but it was damn impressive anyway.
I agree except Captain Marvel it's seriously damaged by being released in between the last two movies. Seeing her movie sooner is an enhancement. The very least before infinity war, and I would say the best spot to drop her would be before Guardians of the Galaxy because then you get a nice transition from the kid who is in roughly her time. Back to the present day.
Release order over "timeline"/ chronological order. Not even sure why this is a debate. ;-) End credit scenes don't make sense if you watch it in "timeline"/ chronological order.
I totally agree. The first time through, I think it's important to watch in release order so they tie together as 'intended'. Then later it's a fun re-watch to go in timeline order because you KNOW what comes next, and you can pick up on more Easter eggs that way. IMO, anyway
no..Dr Banner was experimenting with Gamma radiation, to trying and tap into DNA that would make soldiers emune to radiation..and the acident happened because of that..there's been some retcons in the movies and tv show tho
@@solomonkane6442 They gave Steve the serum and hit him with "vitarays"(?). Banner was trying to recreate the serum and used gamma rays. That's why he was working for Gen. Ross.
@@NaihanchinKempo If we're talking MCU, I think in The Avengers they offhand mention that Bruce was indeed trying to replicate the super soldier serum, but he thought he was working on the radiation serum. And in the Ultimate Universe comics he just straight up knows he's working on the super soldier serum. But in greater cannon you're right and all he was doing was researching the radiation immunity.
BTW, Ashleigh, it's "dilly-dally". Diddly-dallying" means something _very_ different. There's a very good reason he didn't put on the enemy's outfit when he infiltrated the base. When a soldier is caught in enemy territory wearing the enemy's uniform, they are considered spies, and treated much more harshly than a regular soldier. Also, he is filled with the patriotic spirit.
Coming from a life long Marvel Comic and MCU fan, I love the way your mind works. Your theories are sound even if they aren't exactly how the story goes, you get top marks for almost working it out!
Seeing Ashleigh watch the MCU films for the first time and catch each of the Stan Lee cameos brings a smile to my face. It feels almost as special as seeing his cameos for the first time myself.
really glad you're going with the release order - those people in the comments saying to do chronological order would've messed up a first-time experience
Release order is better for a first time watcher. The post credit scenes don't make as much sense in chronological order and in some cases would be spoilers.
@@michaelash8552 In at least one case a _huge_ spoiler ('Captain Marvel'). Anyone suggesting a first timer watch out of release order has to be forgetting about the credits scenes.
I'm glad you're enjoying it Ashleigh, because you ain't seen nothing yet! It gets better and better, and the characters get deeper, and the stories become richer. It's a helluva ride...
"When Captain America throws his mighty shield ... " Ashleigh is really concerned for his safety! Since you like Agent Carter and Tony's Papa so much, you might want to check out the short lived Agent Carter series where their stories are continued.
@@andrewlee3037 It's complicated though I think Kristen's right. If we're talking the big arc reactor that was designed by Howard and Ivan Vanko. Howard did say he tried tried to replicate the Tesseract but was limited by technology of the time so he left it for Tony to do it. Even that is still only a fraction of what the Tesseract could manage. So when he couldn't make it work at the time Ivan Vanko gave him the missing piece then was banished to wherever which is why they never had any breakthroughs in that area till Tony had his head shoved underwater and had a lightbulb powering moment.
Also check out The Rocketeer; it’s another WW2 retro superhero movie (owned by Disney, but no connection to Marvel) directed by the same guy as this one.
It’s not certain if that’s cannon anymore as the Netflix series are no longer considered cannon. Although they’re now going to bring in some of the actors, but not acknowledge the streaming series they were in.
@@sandramiller1988 Agent Carter wasn't Netflix streaming, though. It aired on ABC, like Agents of SHIELD. It's on Disney Plus in the Marvel section, which is about as canonized as you can get without a certificate of some kind.
I agree with watching in release order as you have been doing. Watching them in chronological timeline order is fun for a 2nd viewing, but for a first time view-through, you gotta watch in release order as that was how they were meant to be seen by audiences. You get the best breadcrumbs to huge plot points that seem more meaningful in release order. Keep it up.
I'm coming back and rewatching some of my favourite movies and I'm veering reminded of why I love you as a content creator: your wit and quips are some of the best. 19:05 "we've been trying to reach you about your ship's extended warranty".
"Who is that man, he looks familiar?" That is the wonderful Tommy Lee Jones. He's had many great roles, but if you'd seen him in anything, I'd guess the Men In Black series. He was the older experienced Agent K, who brought Will Smith into the agency. That's another series you gotta put on your list if you haven't seen it yet, 4 films total plus an animated series.
No. There are only 2 movies in the series. Like Alien and Terminator franchises, you need to stop with the 2nd movie. Otherwise, you'll just get depressed.
@@PChazman1 There may be only 2 movies that fans consider to be worth watching, and I wouldn't argue that point, it's a subjective matter of personal preference. But, Ashleigh, there are indeed 4 MIB movies plus an animated series. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men_in_Black_(film_series). I haven't seen the 4th film or the animation so I wouldn't speak to those, but, I did enjoy the 3rd film, mainly because of Josh Brolin.
@@PChazman1 I liked part 3 probably more than I liked the second one. I was not a fan of MIB International. It felt like it was just going through the motions, but something was missing.
Haley Atwell is the actress who plays Agent Carter. She admitted that her almost touching Steve Rogers manly chest was not scripted. It was the first time she had seen him “topless” and that was her spontaneous reaction.
Aww I'm loving all your reactions to the MCU. Each movie really is such a good time and I'm glad you're enjoying them!! thanks for sharing your reaction!
My favorite phase 1 MCU. I loved the historical origin and I'm a big fan of the Red Skull. Hugo Weaving does an amazing job. His lines are epic in this.
She’s the first one who didn’t automatically think that Red Skill was dead! I am so HAPPY you liked this one! Now I can’t wait for you to watch The Avengers!!
I get so excited about every one of your MCU entries. There are still 2 or three movies ahead that aren't amazing, (just decent) but other than those, they just keep getting better and better
I anticipated and waited and am now so gratified at your "ampness" after watching Cap . . . You are experiencing that joyful revelation that we all had, particularly all those who have never entertained the thought of watching "super hero" movies. So many people discovered their love having never read a single comic with these characters. That is how strong this whole saga is. You will shit yourself watching The Avengers. Love your reaction!
10:44 - Holy carp! Seen this movie a dozen times and never noticed the "blood," which is actually an imperfect fit of his mask! 19:05 - Laughed so hard that I choked! Also, release order is the best order. It allows you to experience the story as it unfolded for the rest of the world, and the end credit scenes make more sense.
Love that you're digging the MCU. When these were coming out, the wait between Captain America and The Avengers felt like it was forever. Can't wait to see your reaction to the culmination of Phase 1!!! :)
9:11 Actually, the story is that the Hulk was an attempt to recreate the Captain America formula. It sort of worked. The lineup of villains in the hulk comics have alot of other attempts that went bad in one way or another.
Never really understood the mindset of needing to watch a movie series like Marvel or Star Wars in the story's chronological order. I think it makes much more sense to watch in release order if it's your first time. Gives you the same experience everyone else did when these movies were first coming out!
Also, prequels by their nature expect you to have seen the movies that were released previously, and will spoiler them to some extent because they like to show connections to those stories.
Before the sequel movies came out, I always thought the best order for the six Star Wars movies were 4, 1, 2, 5, 3, 6. You need to start with the original, but then you go back and see young Anakin and he and Obi Wan's adventures, and you get to see most of that before the Empire reveal. Then you get the fall and the redemption. My order suggestion does not take into account the quality of any of the movies, just where they make the most sense to me for a first time viewer.

This was when the MCU really found its footing. A lesser studio that didn't have faith in its characters would've tried to make Captain America dark, brooding, edgy, like WB tried to do with Aqua Man. Instead they allowed him to be square. They allowed him to be decent and good, and made the argument that we should love him for those old fashioned qualities. And they won that argument.
Or Superman.

@@liljenborg2517 Honestly, my favorite moment from this reaction...
Release order is perfect because that’s how almost every fan saw them first. Chronological order is for second or even third time around when you remember everything that has gone on, all the tiny clues you can miss the first time.
Completely agree.
When I see someone watching cpt marvel straight after first avenger I lose my damn shit. Like you dont understand like 50% of the references in the movie. Chronological order means shit, they were meant to be watched in the order they were released, not as events happened.
10:31 The poison pill hidden in a tooth was a common practice in the old days. If officers who had sensitive material were captured, they would bite down on the capsule rather than risk being tortured for the information.
The old days? It’s still used today.
@@kilpta4746 I haven't kept up with military espionage practices, so I'm not aware of any updates they've made. I just know it was common back then. I'll defer to your knowledge on modern practices.
@@TheLightSideReactions Fair enough. I should clarify, I’m no expert either, and good on you for not speaking in absolutes (the internet does that too much lol)
A newer method could totally be used nowadays but also suicide is less common nowadays in espionage, but it’s hard to beat the efficiency of a cyanide capsule. I’m not aware of anything much better than it.
A former CIA training director said “The poison tooth is purely hollywood - it’s a terrible, terrible idea. Imagine losing an agent because a sandwich has a bit of gristle! We prefer to just not tell agents anything they don’t need to know so they can’t reveal it under torture.”

"Why is he not knocking one of them out and putting on their uniform!" Because that's a war crime going back to the 1800s (and still is today for that matter). If you use the enemy's uniform, flag, emblem, or other identifying marker for the purposes of deception, you lose all rights to all other protections under the articles of war. If Steve got caught breaking them out, the worst they could legally do is capture him as a prisoner of war where he must be treated with the same basic rights as any other soldier. If he got caught doing so while wearing a German uniform, he has no rights and they can do whatever they want. Granted, Hydra would've done whatever the hell they wanted regardless if they caught him, but Steve didn't know that at the time.
If in doubt: Steve Rogers is a Lawful Good Paladin. He always does the right thing the right way, even if it's harder than doing the right thing the wrong way. "The ends justify the means" doesn't fly with Captain America because if you stoop to the level of the evil you're fighting, you become that evil. He will do things the hardest way possible if the easier ways are evil no matter how good the outcome would be, and he will hold those around him to that same standard. He will take shortcuts like removing the pin holding up the flagpole to knock it over when he couldn't climb it, but he wouldn't have done that if he was ordered to "climb the flagpole" rather than just "capture the flag".
This. All of this.
I didn't know that thing about the uniform. Very good insight.
@@gspendlove If you watch Civil War movies, both sides used nearly identical rain gear. It made it difficult to know which side someone rode for in bad weather. If it was suspicious, you would be asked to turn over the lapel to show the uniform below. Part of the backstory of the term 'turncoat'.
I would also guess that he would risk friendly fire.
Whenever people try to ask me about alignment (as in the old D&D style of alignment), I always go with Captain America = Lawful Good, Iron Man/Tony Stark = Chaotic Good, Thanos = Lawful Evil, Loki = Chaotic Evil. The others (true neutral, lawful/chaotic neutral, neutral good/evil) are a bit harder to explain, at least in terms of Marvel Characters.
The Red Skull's appearance was a side-effect of not quite getting the serum right just yet.
a) You're definitely doing this is the right order.
b) I am absolutely *LOVING* watching your journey through these films.

@@rmhartman No, Bucky knocked out Hitler and Hernan Goering
Never ever watch the MCU films in chronological order if you’ve never seen them. Release order ALWAYS.
This. Genuinely don't understand why anyone would suggest chronological order for a first viewing. The films are _very_ clearly designed to be viewed in release order. Other orders are strictly for novelty value on re-watch.
Thank you! People need to stop telling reactors to watch them chronologically if it's their first time. They came out in the order they did for a reason.
@@anonymes2884 I disagree. Captain Marvel is not obviously designed to be where she is. That movie should have been released before Infinity War at the least. And I think it would have benefited from being released before Guardians of the Galaxy. Then we would have transition from her the past to Star-Lord in the past back to the present day.
As it is she feels like a deus ex machina insert. I don't think it was planned. I think they decided rather late in the process that she was going to be the lead of the next phase that just kind of forced her there in the middle of the last two chapters.
It would be like if 45 minutes into the Last Jedi, they introduced a powerful New lightside Jedi. Or if in the last few episodes of Game of Thrones, suddenly some person came from the Southlands who we had never seen before and they ended up getting the throne.
If you see her early and then kind of forget about her, then when she returns oh, it feels like she has a place in the story. Otherwise I'm with you on the release order all the way. Captain America is better because it follows after the Iron Man films.
@@macmcleod1188 They should have never added Captain Marvel to the Infinity Saga at such a late stage. She was an insert to that story. The original plan was to introduce her after Endgame. For whatever reasons, Marvel decided to add her to a story she had no part in originally and it's obvious as the directors of Endgame stated they had no idea how to include her in their story. They had her show up early, sent her of screen for the rest of the movie to do whatever, until she returns to do the deus ex machina thing. There's really no order you can put these movies in that would cover the mistake Marvel made with Captain Marvel being in the Infinity Saga.
@@captainshadow3756 we're really discussing a better order for Ashley to view the movies in.
Watching Captain Marvel before infinity war will improve the flow. Watching Captain Marvel before Guardians of the Galaxy is about the best spot to introduce the character.
We're not discussing fixing the situation. The movies made. It can't be fixed.
Half of Captain America's appeal is that he's the physical apex of human biology and also SUCH a dork. So glad you're enjoying the Marvel movies!
Honestly I don't really like this first one, but captain is such a good character out of time, also I dont like hydra in this, the idea that there are these secret extra evil advanced nazis doesn't sit right with me, hydra in the sequels works for me though
@@ingibingi2000 historically do I think something like hydra existed, no. Due to how many people in the hierarchy of the Nazi party were out for power, would it suprise me if it was discovered that there was a secret group? Lol, no.
@@ingibingi2000 But hydra arent nazis, they just latched onto the movement, they are a MUUUUCH older organisation.
@@ingibingi2000 The movie really didn't say that Hydra was a secret organization, just a smaller branch of the Nazi organization that was, therefore, less well known.

If anyone keeps saying you should watch in Chronological order please just ignore that. The first time one watches it should be in release date order otherwise there are times when end credit scenes won't line up to make sense. So know that you are doing it right.
Now in like 5 years when you're done and you want to re-watch then you can do chronological order

The director of CA got the job because he did it so well before. He directed "The Rocketeer", another period comic book hero brought to the screen. A very overlooked movie at the time that has developed a following since.

Speaking of Tommy Lee Jones, you should definitely watch _The Fugitive_ (1993), which also stars Harrison Ford. Based on the hugely popular 1960s series of the same name, it is an excellent thriller. Also, Tommy Lee Jones' character and performance was so popular that a sequel was produced just to cast him in the role again: _U.S. Marshals._
She would like the fugitive, no Doubt
and said sequel features robert downey jr in a big role.
That was one of those roles where he said a particular line and I'm like "He's got the Oscar." And I was right.
That is the first film that came to my mind when I saw Tommy Lee Jones appear onscreen here. Definitely a must watch for Ashleigh!
I didn't kill my wife.
Never underestimate the little guy. Audie Murphy was too small to join the Marines in WWII so he went to the Army. He then went on to become the most decorated veteran in US history.
Heck, he might have read a Cap book or two.
He then became an actor and did a movie based on his life! “To hell and back” a movie that he says had to be toned down based off real events since people would not believe it!

I echo what everyone is saying about "The Fugitive." (One of "the general's" aka Tommy Lee Jones most iconic roles.) It is absolutely a classic, so it can be watched on Mondays.
"We not gonna talk about red skull g-
ooooh. that's why its called that"

You were close. Tony's element isn't the "square" itself, but his dad first discovered the element from studying the square.
I always got it confused with vibranium…
@@ravenwraith1017 I think the novelization of Iron Man 2 name drops it as Vibranium, but since the movies went in a different direction, that's not canon.
A more recent source says Tony wanted to patent the new element as "Badassium", but there were too many legal issues. Lol
@@FreakDaMIghet Vibranium is C.A Shield i think Paladium is the stark element.
@@GamersOdyssey Palladium is an actual element on the periodic table (#46, silver is #47). It's really expensive stuff, along with Gold, Silver, and Platinum it's a metal used as currency. Most of the palladium mined gets used in catalytic converters in car exhaust systems. Stark used palladium to make the original arc reactor (they scavenge it from the guidance chips in that cave to make the core conductor ring of the arc coil). The Palladium is supposedly what is poisoning Tony, though it's not very toxic (it's also used in silver fillings - so you may have trace amounts in your mouth right now!). The "element" Tony makes in Iron Man 2 is brand new and doesn't have a name. Presumably it's a stable super-heavy artificial element (pretty much all of the artificial elements heavier than Plutonium are too big to be stable and rapidly decay into lighter elements).
Now that Ashleigh's been introduced to Tommy Lee Jones, we need to get her to watch The Fugitive!
And Men in Black
Men In Black first, he's a crack up in that. In fact, I might just watch it now.
Ok, slick.

True. Her reaction to Harrison Ford is, if I remember correctly, "he can get it."

PS - I met Stan Lee and have his autograph .
It's heavily implied that Tony's dad did research on the cube which is what led him to theorize the element that Tony ended up creating.

I think you would love the Agent Carter series - you can find it on Disney + and it is literally one of my favorite shows of all time. Also was written by women for a female lead character and you can really tell that they knew exactly what they were doing. And of course Hayley Atwell is badass and beautiful throughout.
It will be helpful at some future point to remember that Steve’s best friend was named Bucky
Peggy Carter is so badass and so out of this world beautiful, she simply defies description!
can't wait for what if? with her as the super soldier
When I first saw this back when it came out, it was a automatic crush. Especially when she wore that red dress. LAWD
That is AGENT Carter to you......
@@Thor_Odinson she's the best. I can never blame Cap for doing everything he did (no spoilers here). Out of all the ladies in all the Marvel MCU movies, she's the only one that gave this old f*art a crash like he was a teenager all over again!

If you saw CA first, then Stark would have made no sense.
Does tony not make sense without ca?
He means Howard Stark, it's all about context, certain things just make more sense in release order. Chronological order is a thing you could do for a second viewing, but not for the first time.
@@Wungolioth that's how i feel about it
ALSO, the Red Skull seeking the Tesseract in a tomb & talking about Norse mythology wouldve made less sense without seeing Thor first
The only reason I suggest machete order for Star Wars first time watchers is because of the changes Lucas made after the fact. MCU hasn't jerked their product around like that so release order is the way to go.
Watching the MCU in release order makes the most sense and for the most satisfying experience. People who suggest watching in chronological order to anyone just getting started really fail to comprehend how much these movies build on familiarity with characters from previous movies (for example, Captain Marvel relies heavily on the audience being familiar with characters that are introduced in movies that only come later in chronological order).
The most satisfying experience would probably involve just skipping Captain Marvel entirely.
"Is it that he's really strong, and that he has a cool looking shield?" Pretty much :D
Yes. Him fighting Ironman or Thor is ... er ... cute.
I was EXACTLY the same Ashleigh. I was never, ever interested in those 'crappy superhero films' - then on a whim we decided to try them in release order like you are doing and absolutely fell in love with them. You've got so much good stuff to come :)
My favorite line in this movie is when the little kid tells Cap, "Go get 'im! I can swim!"

Also from Men in Black.
Also No Country for Old Men, Thaddeus Stevens in Lincoln, the prison warden in Natural Born Killers, a wonderfully fun villain in Under Siege, and so much else.
"It wasn't me. It was the one-armed man"
@@Dr3amtime He was also a great villain in Blown Away. And another great performance in Emperor
Hayley Atwell loves the role of Agent Carter so much that she's suggested the Marvel people write a bunch of stories about what she was up to across the 20th century, and then wait for her to be the appropriate age to film each one.
I've heard rumours that she'll be playing her "Captain Britain" role from What If in the Multiverse of Madness. I sincerely hope thats true.
She has two seasons on ABC as Agent Carter.
Careful now :p
In the comics there is a what if timeline where the assassin shot the doctor and Steve before the experiment so she ended up taking the serum to catch the guy and became captain America.
You actually managed to hit a big fan theory, that Tony’s arc reactor technology is based on the tesseract.
The further supposition, is that he makes vibranium to fuel it…
Ohhhh.... Never put that together, but that makes sense. Howard Stark did work with vibranium as evidenced by the existence of Cap's shield. Never put that together
@@anniedownum451 it’s totally unconfirmed, but it makes sense the new element he creates to power his arc reactor is vibranium. His father worked with it for years but couldn’t replicate it.
Except that isn't it (vibranium) available in Wakanda?
The arc reactor that Howard designed (and Tony later minaturized for his armor) was Howard's attempt to duplicate the energy source found in the Tesseract.
Obviously, it wasn't going to put out as much power as an Infinity Stone, but it was damn impressive anyway.
Geezus man... Don't spoil it or the poor girl.
"An Infinity Stone? What's that?"
the best way is always the release order... Chronological order spoil a lot a things
I agree except Captain Marvel it's seriously damaged by being released in between the last two movies. Seeing her movie sooner is an enhancement. The very least before infinity war, and I would say the best spot to drop her would be before Guardians of the Galaxy because then you get a nice transition from the kid who is in roughly her time. Back to the present day.
Yeah, absolutely correct. 'Captain Marvel' for instance has a _huge_ spoiler in an end credits scene.
Release order over "timeline"/ chronological order. Not even sure why this is a debate. ;-)
End credit scenes don't make sense if you watch it in "timeline"/ chronological order.
Not sure either.
What Jeff said. end credit scenes won't make sense otherwise.
Watch in release order - just like everyone else on the planet did the first time 'round.
Exactly, new characters and information were revealed to audiences in a very deliberate order.
I totally agree. The first time through, I think it's important to watch in release order so they tie together as 'intended'. Then later it's a fun re-watch to go in timeline order because you KNOW what comes next, and you can pick up on more Easter eggs that way. IMO, anyway
The hulk was trying to recreate the serum when his accident happened.
I thought the hulk was researching gamma radiation and the accident mutated his DNA ? he wasn't trying to recreate the super soldier serum

@@NaihanchinKempo If we're talking MCU, I think in The Avengers they offhand mention that Bruce was indeed trying to replicate the super soldier serum, but he thought he was working on the radiation serum.

@@solomonkane6442 its both.. He was trying to remake the serum but was shooting it with gamma radiation...
BTW, Ashleigh, it's "dilly-dally". Diddly-dallying" means something _very_ different.
There's a very good reason he didn't put on the enemy's outfit when he infiltrated the base. When a soldier is caught in enemy territory wearing the enemy's uniform, they are considered spies, and treated much more harshly than a regular soldier. Also, he is filled with the patriotic spirit.
Um, she probably knows that :)

Tony's arc reactor and the Tesseract aren't related beyond Howard Stark trying to replicate it.
BUT Howard Stark couldve never built the Arc reactor without studying the tesseract
@@andrewlee3037 It's complicated though I think Kristen's right. If we're talking the big arc reactor that was designed by Howard and Ivan Vanko. Howard did say he tried tried to replicate the Tesseract but was limited by technology of the time so he left it for Tony to do it. Even that is still only a fraction of what the Tesseract could manage. So when he couldn't make it work at the time Ivan Vanko gave him the missing piece then was banished to wherever which is why they never had any breakthroughs in that area till Tony had his head shoved underwater and had a lightbulb powering moment.
Also check out The Rocketeer; it’s another WW2 retro superhero movie (owned by Disney, but no connection to Marvel) directed by the same guy as this one.

I agree with watching in release order as you have been doing. Watching them in chronological timeline order is fun for a 2nd viewing, but for a first time view-through, you gotta watch in release order as that was how they were meant to be seen by audiences. You get the best breadcrumbs to huge plot points that seem more meaningful in release order. Keep it up.

"Who is that man, he looks familiar?" That is the wonderful Tommy Lee Jones. He's had many great roles, but if you'd seen him in anything, I'd guess the Men In Black series. He was the older experienced Agent K, who brought Will Smith into the agency. That's another series you gotta put on your list if you haven't seen it yet, 4 films total plus an animated series.

@@vando6679 Thank you for taking something light and fun and 💩 on it. You must be a lot of fun at parties.
@@jimhsfbay you're the one who did that, dude. the sexual harassment line was a joke.
Do we find out more about red skull guy?
The I could actually see the light bulb come on over her head.😀
You're going to love the Avengers films so much. All of them. We can't wait!
Aww I'm loving all your reactions to the MCU. Each movie really is such a good time and I'm glad you're enjoying them!! thanks for sharing your reaction!
My favorite phase 1 MCU. I loved the historical origin and I'm a big fan of the Red Skull. Hugo Weaving does an amazing job. His lines are epic in this.
Hugo Weaving hated being in this movie and refused to come back.
if you like the way this movie was done. try watching "The Rocketeer"
Not to mention Jennifer Connely.
And the shadow
Defo, great movie!
The Rocketeer is badass..for some funnies check out Strange Brew
1000%
She’s the first one who didn’t automatically think that Red Skill was dead! I am so HAPPY you liked this one! Now I can’t wait for you to watch The Avengers!!
People thought Red Skull was dead?
@@jonathancampbell5231 Or split into atoms, or floating somewhere in space.
@@kilroy987 I knew he was alive the whole time, and I was really annoyed it took so long for him to come back and the payoff was kind of weak
@@jonathancampbell5231 Careful. Loose lips sink ships.
@@CaptainFrost32 Quite aside from the sentiment, digging the period reference.
Loving the Millennial Marvel Marathon so far. Your reactions are probably my absolute favorite 💜
I love watching people discover how awesome the MCU is! Excited for your next MCU reaction.
Release order is the best way to go for first time watchers.
Can't wait for your reaction to Marvel's The Avengers and I cried when Cap went into the ice
I didnt cry when he crashed but when peggy kept saying steve. Such an emotional scene
I get so excited about every one of your MCU entries. There are still 2 or three movies ahead that aren't amazing, (just decent) but other than those, they just keep getting better and better
I think we should start calling it MCM: Marvel Cinematic Multiverse
@@JonathanMandrake 👀
More than that. For me civil war, guardians 2, Thor 2 and 3, avengers 2, captain marvel, iron man 3 were all not good
@@prodigalbrock she liked Iron man 2, she'll be fine with most of the movies you just listed.
Bruce Banner was trying to recreate this processswhen he became the Hulk
I anticipated and waited and am now so gratified at your "ampness" after watching Cap . . . You are experiencing that joyful revelation that we all had, particularly all those who have never entertained the thought of watching "super hero" movies. So many people discovered their love having never read a single comic with these characters. That is how strong this whole saga is. You will shit yourself watching The Avengers. Love your reaction!
10:44 - Holy carp! Seen this movie a dozen times and never noticed the "blood," which is actually an imperfect fit of his mask!
19:05 - Laughed so hard that I choked!
Also, release order is the best order. It allows you to experience the story as it unfolded for the rest of the world, and the end credit scenes make more sense.
What we really need to know is where does Steve Rogers rank on the "He-Can-Get-Some Meter"?
Below Thor. lol
That is America's ass.
Love that you're digging the MCU. When these were coming out, the wait between Captain America and The Avengers felt like it was forever. Can't wait to see your reaction to the culmination of Phase 1!!! :)
9:11 Actually, the story is that the Hulk was an attempt to recreate the Captain America formula. It sort of worked. The lineup of villains in the hulk comics have alot of other attempts that went bad in one way or another.
“If that is Odin’s square is he just up there somewhere… Does Thor just happen to find him?“ 😁
Never really understood the mindset of needing to watch a movie series like Marvel or Star Wars in the story's chronological order. I think it makes much more sense to watch in release order if it's your first time. Gives you the same experience everyone else did when these movies were first coming out!
hardcore MCU nerd and i say to watch in release order. if not there are issues that will make you go where is Cap marvel....
Also, prequels by their nature expect you to have seen the movies that were released previously, and will spoiler them to some extent because they like to show connections to those stories.
I agree. When you watch it in chronological order, some spoilers are ruined. It’s always best to watch in release order.

Before the sequel movies came out, I always thought the best order for the six Star Wars movies were 4, 1, 2, 5, 3, 6. You need to start with the original, but then you go back and see young Anakin and he and Obi Wan's adventures, and you get to see most of that before the Empire reveal. Then you get the fall and the redemption.
My order suggestion does not take into account the quality of any of the movies, just where they make the most sense to me for a first time viewer.
