4. Flashbacks, Part 2

Opening scenes of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2, Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man, Captain America: Civil War, and Iron Man 3

Okay, time to clear out the rest of the flashbacks.

First, skip ahead to 1980 and watch the first scene of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 with Ego and Meredith Quill. Next, we move on to 1988 and the opening scene of the first Guardians movie, which shows us Meredith dying and Peter being abducted.

One year later, the first scene of Ant-Man has Hank Pym quitting SHIELD. Two years after that, The Winter Soldier kills Howard Stark in Civil War’s first scene.

Woof, lotta opening scenes to clear out in this section of the watchlist. It’ll eventually be broken up, since Captain Marvel is supposed to take place right around here. So that’ll be cool. Next, check out the first scene of Iron Man 3, in which Tony Stark snubs Killian.

So this section of the list throws a lot at you; we’re setting up a ton, and meeting a bunch of characters who will come back later. We know Bucky is alive, AND that he kills Howard. This is especially powerful, given that we just watched Captain America. We also finally meet Tony Stark and get the appearance of aliens in the MCU.
