You really don’t. I binge watched all of the MCU films before seeing it so I knew where all of the Infinity Stones were and no one I went to see it with saw them, and it really didn’t matter.
Marvel is good at updating you when needed.
Edit: some stuff with Hulk is a little confusing if you didn’t see Ragnarok, but it’s not critical to the plot in any means
If I haven’t watched all MCU movies before Avengers 1, I’d think these characters were the most boring dumbasses in the face of the Earth.
There’s more than just events when you consider a movie universe.
Normally I’d agree but it sounds like you have a shit ton of movies to catch up on, and it’ll be such a chore that you won’t bother, so just watch the best one and get it over with
Lmao, listening to a YouTube hip-hop playlist while I work and some idiot uploaded a track plagued with dozens of CD skips.
Jean Grey goes by Marvel Girl when she isn’t carrying the Phoenix force.
Matter of fact, Dazzler was a disco star
I thought Ant-Man would have been lame as hell too but I was pleasantly surprised. Probably because of the concept, they lean in more on comedy than anything else. I mean just look at this official ad.
That actually got me to give this movie a chance. Its irrelevant to the MCU except for establishing Ant-Man but I found it great.
Exactly, instead of trying to sell Ant-Man as the hardest mother****er on Earth, they actually made him cool while giving the movie a comedic tone.
It really worked out.
Then you look at him in Cap’s Civil War and he looks like a bumbling dumbass, which is a lot less funny and not cool at all.
The big crossover movies are arguably the weakest part of the MCU for me.
… Says someone who hasn’t seen Infinity War
Tbh I thought Civil War was pretty lame, and Endgame wasn’t bad but it didn’t live up to the hype
Edit: random, but I swear I start to feel ill if I’m indoors too long
Because “lol Avengers 1” was a mastapeece. 
Oh wait, there was the Ultron one and Cap’s Civil War, which purpose was completely defeated by it being a Cap-focused movie.
I suppose I could be bothered to watch the rest of the lot, but whatever.
Lol you’re not telling me anything I don’t know. 
my point was their names are balls. And you further proved it with Marvel Girl. Like what does that name even have to do with anything other than the comic book company for her is her namesake!? Even though I’m clownin I truly love the X-Men. They’re not perfect, but over the years they have proven to be uncanny, astonishing, and the ultimate representation of solid writing and artwork. Had to use the descriptors lol.
Jean Grey outgrew “Marvel Girl”, had Phoenix (and Dark Phoenix) retconned away as a separate entity, and I guess no one wanted to just switch to “Marvel Woman”. I want to recall the X-Men were often enough using their own names, or other nicknames, in conversations, so the writers probably just decided to run with “Jean Grey” and it eventually stuck as her superhero name.
Dazzler should scream 70s disco, as that is why the character was created. In the late 70s, Casablanca Records struck a deal with Marvel to create a disco singer superhero for a big multimedia push involving a movie, an album, and a comic book. For whatever reasons, the deal fell through, but Marvel decided to use the character anyway.
On a not-so-fun side note, Dazzler was whitewashed. The original character design created by John Romita Jr. was based on Grace Jones, but someone decided Bo Derek would be a better choice.
Jubilation Lee was a terrible “real” name, clearly contrived entirely to “create” her codename of “Jubilee”, which itself was a reflection of her fireworks power and thus had no reason to be so directly based on her “real” name.
Gief matchups. Yeah h shits in bison lol
I thought Jean decided on Marvel Girl were because the things she can do were “marvelous” 
but yeah it sounds silly
I get your point, but I don’t agree that the names are awful. Shadowcat is actually pretty cool and wish Kitty kept it 
I agree that Shadowcat is pretty cool. I left her name out to make my argument lololol. We’ve had very cool games for sure; there’s no denying that:
Wolverine
Cyclops
Gambit
Psylocke
Storm
Colossus
Nightcrawler
Just to name a few…
Nah man, that name is Gold.
I agree. He only thing I really liked about Civil Way was the introduction of Spidey to the MCU. The express was okay, but nothing special IMo.
Also, I hear you. I go out for walks everyday now because I need it. Not just the fresh air, but it sort of resets my mind and makes me a bit happier. I don’t know about you guys, but this whole lockdown shit has been pretty depressing for me and I certainly am less motivated in a lot of areas.
Random thought about the x-men movies…
I wonder if because fox didn’t have rights to the rest of Marvel, that that’s why Rogue was weak af and didn’t have Ms Marvel’s powers?
Also, now that Marvel can make X-men movies again, they better “kill off” Brie Larson.
