Welp, I haven't had a chance to watch the new Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. but I saw that they've brought back the limited run posters. Here's the first:
Definitely looking forward to checking out the new ep!
New trailer for Age of Ultron is out.
Is there a version of "The Incredible Hulk" without burnt in subtitles? I have the US and the german Blu-ray, and both versions have either english or german subs burnt in.
Starlord and Cap team up! ;)

2nd team-up
I finally finished Agent Carter and I am big enough to admit I was wrong and in later episodes they pulled it out of the problems I had with the first two episodes and stopped having all the characters act like idiots.
I get what they were trying to do, make a statement about sexism while making it hard for Carter to do her job, I just think they went too far and I ended up hating all of the male characters and I felt like they were not writing Carter as being smart, they were just writing her as not being a complete moron and since I really liked her character in the movie that was hard to watch.
Still as I said they got out of that and managed to give the other characters some depth and after seeing his family I really didn't want to see him die.
This was a huge turn around. The series still had the problem of a lack of suspense because we know how it turns out but other then that it is very well made. Lots of good shows have bad pilots and this one turned around in a big way so if there was another season of this show I would look forward to it.
7.0/10
Oh and AOS continues to get better. I will not give away any spoilers but I really liked last week's episode and look forward to tonight's episode.

Definitely looking forward to Daredevil. I'm not completely sold on D'Onofrio as Kingpin but it'll be an interesting performance at the very least.
And, BTW, new TV-Spot:

So on this past episode, Kyle MacLachlan and his crew of bad guys have a scene in a diner. I was rather disappointed that the writers or director did not have him order or comment on the quality of the coffee or pie. :(

I am! The last scene in the past episode helped me fully make up my mind about my love of the Hunter character. They sure are doing a great job getting me hyped for the next few movies.

Can somebody help a guy who wants to watch the whole MCU stuff as an intro to Avengers 2?
I guess it's something like ...
Ang Lee Hulk - is it a part of the MCU or a separate movie? TIH seems to work perfectly as a sequel to Hulk 2003.
Iron Man
The Incredible Hulk
Iron Man 2
A Funny Thing Happened on the way to Thor's Hammer - it's definitely sometimes before Thor, but when?
The Consultant - when does this take place? After TIH or after one of the Iron Man movies?
Thor
Captain America - The First Avenger
Agent Carter - 8 episodes
Agent Carter - One shot
Avengers
Item 47
Iron Man 3
All Hail The King
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episodes 1-7
Thor - The Dark World
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episodes 8-15 or 16
Captain America - The Winter Soldier
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - the rest of season 1
Guardians of the Galaxy
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - season 2
Is that all? I've read that Phil Coulson is in some of the animated cartoons, are they also part of the MCU or something different?
Ang Lee's Hulk is not a part of the MCU canon, it was done by Universal before Marvel reacquired the rights. Nor are any of the animated series.
Here's a more or less chronological list of the MCU as it currently stands:
Captain America: The First Avenger
Agent Carter
Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter
Iron Man
The Incredible Hulk
Iron Man 2
Marvel One-Shot: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer
Thor
Marvel One-Shot: The Consultant
The Avengers
Marvel One-Shot: Item 47
Iron Man 3
Marvel One-Shot: All Hail the King
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (season one)
Thor: The Dark World
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (season one)
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (season one)
Guardians of the Galaxy
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (season two)
Interesting. It's sad about Hulk, I think the 2003 movie is much better than the 2008 movie, the comic book style editing and transitions are pretty bad but at least it's not boring.
It's an interesting idea putting the first Captain America (and Agent Carter) to the beginning, the "other" story of it takes place between Thor and Avengers, and the "main" story is basically just a flashback, so I wouldn't personally put it to the beginning, but the rest seems similar to what I thought. I guess it hasn't been announced yet when will the Daredevil series take place?
More than 90% of CA:TFA takes place in the '40s with only present day bookends. It's a pretty interesting experience going from defrosting Cap to then going to the end of Iron Man and Fury telling him, "You think you're the only superhero in the world? Mr. Stark, you've become part of a bigger universe. You just don't know it yet."
Anyway, as I said it's a chronological list. The actual release order is a bit different. =P
It also leaves out the supposedly canon tie-in comics.
As for prep for Avengers 2. Personally I'd stick to just Phase Two material.
So everything in that list from The Avengers on.
Here's how I'm prepping for Avengers 2:
Don’t do drugs, unless you’re with me.
Six episodes to go, can't wait!
Also, Daredevil this weekend! Anyone else planning on checking out the Director's Cut of the Affleck Daredevil beforehand?
Welp!
I went ahead and watched the DC of Daredevil (2003) before diving into the new series. And immediately regretted wasting the first two hours I could have spent watching the series once I finished the first episode. Not the least of which because we had to be up early the next day so could only squeeze in a single episode last night.
Just judging from the first episode, I have to say I'm definitely looking forward to watching the rest of the season. It started off strong and they squeezed every ounce out of the small budget they had to work with. The writing was excellent and the performances were solid.
I'm hoping as the season goes on we get a better sense of when exactly in the timeline this series fits. As just based on the first ep it could be just a few months after the Battle of New York. Also, I'm hoping for some more solid ties between the films and AoS. Perhaps we'll actually get to see Creel in a flashback.
So here's hoping I'll be able to jump back in later tonight!
Netflix orders a second season of Marvel's Daredevil
Since season 1 was awesome, I'm really happy about this.

I started watching this a few nights ago, and love it. The downright brute violence is a bit rattling, but it's all done so well. The writing is excellent and the cheesy cliches bring you back into the comic book framework setting.
I'm very happy that they are connecting this show with the goings on in the MCU. A few episodes in, there was a clear statement made that this show takes place two years after the "Battle of New York", and the villains are profiteering from the reconstruction and general disarray left in its wake. In a scene shot on the Brooklyn riverside looking towards the Manhattan skyline, there is no sign at all that the producers tried to insert or hide the existence of the Stark / Avengers tower. I clearly saw the Pan-Am (MetLife) building. I'm thinking they must be disregarding the Stark / Avengers tower due to budgetary reasons. For me, that building's visual existence or non-existence in the skyline does not affect my enjoyment of the show.

I thought I saw Stark tower at one point.
