The elder child of the house is making us watch every Marvel film in chronological story order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I sortov understand the desire for this, watch a multi-threaded story on a chapter-by-chapter basis; I get that. But I’m not sure what it’s teaching us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A partial look at the genesis of SHIELD, yes, I get that. But SHIELD isn’t a foreground device; look at SHIELD’s notable absence in the Guardians of the Galaxy series, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The individual compartments of the Marvel catalogue are watchable in their distinct entries, but this viewer finds the way that they blend together is uncomfortable. For example Iron Man 2 (which, by the way, is pretty dire) concludes with the discovery of Thor’s hammer. But the next film in the chronology is Incredible Hulk. So that’s a big ‘huh?’ from me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the whole Guardians of the Galaxy thing (one and two) sit uncomfortably between Thor: Dark World, and Iron Man 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ll carry on enjoying the films individually, but getting them as one big knitted story? That’s a no from me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
