Iron Man through Avengers: Doomsday, every film, plus WandaVision, Loki, Daredevil and the rest.
Watch it in release order, not in the order the story happens. The MCU was built one film at a time and each one assumes you have seen the last, so the in-universe order opens on two films made late that only land if you already know the answers. This is the short way in: six films instead of thirty-odd, ending at the point where you will know whether the rest is for you.
Seen some of these already? Tap the circles to tick them off. The full list below fills in as you go.
The film that invented the format, and it needs nothing from you. Everything the MCU does tonally starts here.
The payoff of the whole first run, and the moment the shared-universe idea stops being a promise and becomes the reason to keep watching.
Proof the MCU can be a serious thriller. The twist in it rewires the setting for everything that follows.
Opens up the cosmic half of the universe, and it is famously self-contained, almost no homework required.
The critical high point, and the clearest evidence these films can be about something other than punching.
The test. If the collision of everyone you have just met lands, you are in. If it feels like homework, you are out, and you have lost six films rather than thirty.
Then what? If Infinity War landed, go straight to Endgame, then fill in Thor: Ragnarok, Captain America: The First Avenger and Doctor Strange before deciding about the multiverse era.
A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.
Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.
The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.
Every franchise you have touched, in one code.
Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.
This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.
Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.
Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
Your email is confirmed and your account is ready. Everything you tick is saved on this device, as it always was.
Part of the subscription.
Your SagaList account.
Nothing else happens until you follow the link. If it has not arrived in a few minutes, look in your spam folder and search for SagaList. It is sent from a no-reply address on our own domain, so there is nothing to reply to.
Both addresses get an email: the new one to confirm it, and the old one so that nobody can move your account without you knowing. Nothing changes until you follow the link.
Signing out leaves everything you have ticked on this device exactly where it is. It only stops it syncing.
This removes your account, your email address, and the progress stored on our side. It cannot be undone and we cannot get it back for you.
This stops your subscription too. It is cancelled at Stripe in the same step, so nothing more is charged. The rest of this month is not refunded and you will not be able to use it, so cancel from Manage or cancel and delete later if you would rather keep it.
