I’ve been following the MCU since the beginning. I’ve also seen the X-Men movies and original F4 movies.
Was discussing some of the older movies and shows with a friend. We’re trying to figure out which of these are optional and which are “must watch”.
Curious what the communities thoughts are? My opinion is most of these are optional/not required to enjoy the Marvel Movies. For example, Deadpool vs Wolverine is enjoyed without some of them.
Also, I haven’t seen Daredevil Born again yet. Is the Defenders Saga must watch before this show or can I go in blind?
