3. Captain America

Captain America: The First Avenger (whole movie, EXCEPT the first and last scenes)

Here we go. 1942. Time to kick this thing off with Captain America: The First Avenger.

But not the whole movie. Skip the first scene, we’ll get to it later. And stop watching right before the last scene, we’ll come back to that too. Just the forties stuff.

Keep it to that fun WWII stuff. The First Avenger is a really underrated movie, and having it be the first real kickoff of your viewing experience is a good thing. It also makes Steve Rogers the first real MCU hero we get to see in action, which feels right. Steve is the heart of the Marvel Movies, and establishing him early is good. Also, we end with him crashing into the Arctic and not being seen again for quite some time. That’s hardcore.

It works shockingly well from an audience standpoint, too, making Cap disappear for a while so when he comes back, it’s a big deal.
