Doom Has Come Upon Us!

Quintessence Henderson 

Doom is almost here; it’s looming somewhere in the near future (Dec. 18), lurking in the shadows, planning our collective demise (very dramatic, I know. I try my best). But before you watch Avengers: Doomsday, you must watch at least fifteen other enjoyable movies. For the sake of one movie and not the excuse of more screen time, of course. 

According to the very official website of Marvel there’s fifteen movies that you must watch to prepare for Doomsday. Whether or not you have to watch these in order wasn’t specified so I’m assuming that there’s no special correct order.

Captain America: The First Avenger. If you have not seen this you are missing out, it follows the story of Steve Rogers when he takes a super serum during world war two. 

Avengers, a movie where Captain America and other superheros, called the Avangers, come together to fight Loki, a god of mischief trying to take over Earth.  

Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos is a giant purple man trying to kill off half of the population of the universe, the Avengers and their allies try to stop him. 

Avengers: Endgame follows the aftermath of Avengers: Infinity War as they fight Thanos for the second time in order to bring back half of the universe.

Spider-man: No Way Home, follows Peter Parker (aka Spider-man) after the events of Endgame and his own other movie Spider-man: Far From Home. His identity is revealed and now many different villains have come to kill him. For more on Spider-man, you can also watch Spider-man: Homecoming. 

Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Rings is the next one on the list, about Shang-Chi facing his past and his father, both are entwined in the mystery of the ten rings. 

Black-panther: Wakanda Forever, about the queen of Wakanda, Shuri, facing an enemy trying to steal her nation’s resources while she still deals with the loss of Wakanda's king. 

Captain America: Brave New World follows Sam Willson, now Captain America, faces a restless world that’s on the brink of war. Throughout the movie he finds himself hunting down a mastermind behind the curtains.

Deadpool and Wolverine, these two team up to save the universe from a grave threat. Also, it’ll probably be inappropriate seeing as Deadpool is in it. I swear whenever that guy is around movies are rated R. So in case you don’t want to watch it, you could google a synopsis of the story line so you don’t miss out. 

Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness is next, is a mind-bending adventure that explores the multiverse’s conventions. 

The Thunderbolts is a group of antiheroes whose personalities clash, but they must work together in order not to get killed. 

Fantastic Four: First Steps, a family of heroes with crazy superpowers, including a man who can make himself go on fire! They have to save Earth from a space god, Galactus, who wants to ‘eat’ Earth—don’t ask me. 

X-man and X-man 2, both movies are about the same group of mutants—humans born with magical-like mutations—that fight against two different enemies: the humans that see them as a threat, and the other mutants bent on killing all of humanity. If you like these movies, you should see X-man: First Class, an amazing prequel to X-man. 

Loki, a two season TV show about (guess what) Loki (wow!) as he is captured by the TVA, an organization bent on keeping everything in order, and Loki has strayed off the sacred timeline.

And that concludes what you have to watch in order to be prepared for doom and gloom! If you want to watch the entire MCU universe (or multiverse) then go to the Rotten Tomatoes site.
