I haven't seen Ant-Man, GotG 2 or Homecoming. Do I need to catch up before watching Infinity War to understand the plot?

GotG 2 just so you know who Mantis is. Spidey's suit origin is in Homecoming but it matters all of not at all seeing how Thanos manhandles him in the trailer.

Watch Pawn Stars season 1 first.

>Ant-Man
the Antman is a funny ex convict who is chosen by the old antman to be the new antman and steal antman technology from a dude who wants to be evil antman

>GotG 2
Ego the Living planet is an celestial (alien gods who can create shit outta nowhere) and also Starlord's father, he's evil and the Guardians kill him. Mantis is a naive empath and Nebula just has daddy issues and wants to be loved by her sister

>Homecoming
Spiderman is Stark's boytoy, he gets a new tech suit from stark and fights a bad guy who stark told him not to fight but wins at the end gaining Stark's respect

That's all you need to know really, if you liked any of this premises you can go and watch them, if you've seen literally any other Marvel movie you know what you're getting into.

>trying to get into MCU for Avengers 4
>have to read 40 comics
>have to watch 5 short films
>have to watch 16 webisodes
>have to watch 296 episodes
>have to watch 21 films
Fuck this

id say you should probably watch home coming partly cause it will contribute but mostly cause its amazing. DONT WATCH ANTMAN

And this is why the MCU will die after Infinity War. Then these live action fags can leave the board.

>>trying to get into MCU for Avengers 4
>>have to read 40 comics
none are canon
>>have to watch 5 short films
only one is relevant
>>have to watch 16 webisodes
none are canon
>>have to watch 296 episodes
none are canon
>>have to watch 21 films
most are irrelevant

>have to

You’re a fucking idiot

Oh no, I'm not falling for that meme. I've seen that faggot's copypasta. They're all fucking connected. What the fuck was Marvel thinking putting together over 250 hours out to conclude in one fucking movie?

if you're confused by anything in a superhero movie just give up on film all together

>bbbut i dont know these characters and back stories
they aren't characters they are silly costumes punching each other

2bfair, the sometimes confront each other in dance-offs instead of punching

He's wrong, user. Marvel movies are made for the lowest common denominator. Anyone can walk in to a Marvel film and enjoy it.

Here's the plot:
>the colorful superheroes must overcome the hang-ups in their respective personal lives and their interpersonal conflicts to form a team
>they will make a handful of surface level references to their previous adventures
>in the end, the villain is defeated by a desperate, last-ditch effort thought up on a whim (but foreshadowed earlier in the movie(also there are blue lights and insects))
>then after the credits they sink another hook into you for SUMMER 2036
I hope you can keep up

Truly, only postgraduate-level educated people have the emotional and intellectual tools to get DCU films

There's always this false dichotomy with moviefags. No, faggot, I don't like DCEU films. They're even more shit than the Marvel ones. Here's the important part: the Marvel ones are still formulaic, saccharine, dumb SHIT.

>implying this isn't made to be """"""enjoyed""""" by anyone
>implying your average moviegoer has seen anything but ironman and avengers and maybe winter soldier
>implying you didn't have x30 the requirements if you wanted to get into actual comics
What the fuck is wrong with you? You need to work on that 5 second attention span.

IW speedrun:
Iroman, Cap, Thor, Avengers.
Guardians, WS, Ultron.
CW, Guardians 2,Ragnarok.

Your posting this on a board dedicated to celebrating formulaic, sacharin, dumb shit.

Why is the question of the day.

>homecoming
>amazing

Sorry, I meant to type MCU. I don't want anyone to think that I was trying to do a company Wars thing

No he's not, i look at the wiki and Daredevil is referenced in Dr. Strange and since Daredevil connects with Agents of SHIELD which connects to everything else it means everything is connected. It's fucking retarded

>herr just watch 250 hours of stuff, it's not that long

>reading literature without reading the western canon first
>reading comics without enjoying the golden and silver age AT LEAST
>liking vidya without playing the NES masterpieces
Imagine putting effort in the things you like.

>Daredevil is referenced in Dr. Strange
Wut?

>hospital has the same name
>M-MY SHIT SERIES IS RELEVANT I SWEAR
kek.

>as long as I ignore the reference my head Canon stays

The fucking Metro Gen hospital is name dropped. I'd be more willing to get into this franchise if the shows weren't canon. I've only ever heard terrible things.

You have to watch maybe 15 films and that's it

Ant-Man- No. It was pretty self contained, and Scott and Hope aren't going to be in Infinity War.

GotG 2- Probably. The team added some new characters, Peter got a sort of power up, and the events may be referenced.

Homecoming - Haven't seen it either, but since it was pretty much a Spidey solo movie the only thing I could see being relevant was more development of Spidey/Tony mentorship.

Sorry I'm late, sweetie pie, but we don't all read exclusively capeshit. Also, workshop that grammar.

>trying to get into current events for the daily news
>have to learn 40 languages
>have to reenact two World Wars
>have to learn the history of 48 Asian countries
>have to go to 300 archaeological digs
>have to read 25 newpapers
Fuck this.

>people responding to this post seriously
Are we so on edge looking for bait everywhere that we can't recognize jokes anymore

If you don't wanna see all movies then focus on:

>Captain America the first Avenger
which introduces the cube

>then avengers
where all character intro are explained away quickly, including loki's backstory and has the cube in it.
>Winter Soldier
Continues Cap's story and is influential for Avengers 2.
>GOTG Vol 1
important for infinity war because of the characters introduced.
>Avengers 2
Infinity stone easter eggs and what not. Has vision introduction.
>Civil War
Avengers are dissassembled.
>Thor Ragnarok
Important for our Loki and the after credits tease.
>GotG Vol 2
I personally think its useless but hey baby groot is great and it introduces Mantis.
>Infinity War
You are caught up and don't have to suffer through endless Marvel movies. You get to enjoy iron man in short doses and skip the lack lustre movies of other heroes.

Ant Man is good but completely self contained so entirely unnecessary.

Nah, they're all skippable. You saw GotG1, you know who spider-man is cause you don't live under a rock and ant-man is barely in avengers 3, even still, you saw civil war, so you get it, he shrinks and grows and works with cap not tony.

No, but you should watch it for pure entertainment value, as all 3 are pretty good to great movies.

Best post

>I've seen that faggot's copypasta. They're all fucking connected
you mean your copypasta

tv shows are not canon
you don't need to watch tv shows since they're not canon

Hey friends. Threadly reminder that this sort of stuff belongs on Sup Forums.
This is a cartoons and comics board. You don't go to /lit/ to discuss Jurassic Park because it's based on a book.

Don't be silly. It's like how people don't watch Arrow, Supergirl, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and whatever else they're doing. They just watch what they want and it's never really need to know for crossover episodes and such. It's not like you had to see the Thor movies to understand Avengers 1 just like you didn't necessarily have to see Batman Begins to understand The Dark Knight.

>You don't go to /lit/ to discuss Jurassic Park because it's based on a book.

No, you don't go to /lit/ because /lit/ isn't worth going to. It's Sup Forums for books.

>I'd be more willing to get into this franchise if the shows weren't canon. I've only ever heard terrible things.

Daredevil season 1 is probably the best part of the MCU.

But you will miss all the jokes user.

I didn't watch any MCU films in between Avengers 1 and Civil War except Winter Soldier and understood it just fine because Bucky is really the most important non-lead. Black Panther and Spider-Man were only there to set up their movies.

>Scott and Hope aren't going to be in Infinity War.

Come on.

...

My man!

>have to watch 21 films
have to watch Avengers 1 and GotG 1, that's all you need

Well, we never actually saw Thanos with the scepter.

Fucking hopefully, but you know it will never end.

Yeah, you actually do. Or, are you a brainlet?

Some people have a job, school and other responsibilities. Not everyone has nothing to do all day like you lard ass.

>Ego the Living planet is an celestial

Not really. He just THINKS he's a celestial because he has a bloated opinion of himself.

Anyone have a good quality video of the D23 trailer for Infinity War?
