Marvel Films

[OneWayFilms]

Ok, so I own just about every single Marvel film (minus Doctor Strange) so far.

I'm sure several of you do so also, my question is, when you put them on your shelf, do you place them in alphabetical order? Or chronological order?

I had mine in alphabetical order and mixed with other superhero films, like DC, Ninja Turtles and X Men.

But, since there's SO MANY Marvel films, I'm thinking of putting them in chronological order, so I can go back and try to refresh my memory of certain happenings.

What do you do?

Chronological order so far would be:

Captain America: The First Avenger
Iron Man
The Incredible Hulk
Iron Man 2
Thor
The Avengers
Iron Man 3
Thor: The Dark World
Captain America: The Winter Solider
Guardians of the Galaxy
The Avengers: Age of Ultron
Guardians of the Galaxy 2
Ant Man
Captain America: Civil War
Doctor Stranger ( I don't own)
Spider-man: Homecoming
Thor: Ragnarok

COMING SOON:
Black Panther
Avengers: Infinity War
Antman & the Wasp
Captain Marvel

By hero/property first than vaguely chronological left to right from there by release date, not time in movie

So Iron Man 1-3 are the first chunk, then the Thor’s and so on.

It makes zero sense except to me

I think Captain America would actually be third. The end takes place after Thor and Iron Man from what I remember. Actually, it may be after Iron Man 2.

I'm in the process of rearranging mine. I'm separating the Marvel and DC movies away from the rest of my collection in their own sections. Then they'll be placed chronologically since that's how I watch them.

Chronological, and that's including the ones Marvel didn't make themselves.

I placed this one first since his story starts so long ago and then jumps ahead. There's no other Avenger in this story, and he is the very first Avenger. I have no issues with Captain America coming before Iron Man.

I'm also using this chart as a help: https://www.cnet.com/how-to/marvel-c...line-avengers/

I own all of the current franchise Marvel Studios films on Blu-ray except for the two Iron Man sequels, which were pretty underwhelming to me. I'll probably get around to owning them in the future just on principle, but I'm in no hurry.

I arrange mine in chronological order by release date.

Iron Man
The Incredible Hulk
Thor
Captain America: The First Avenger
The Avengers
Thor: The Dark World
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Guardians of the Galaxy
Avengers: Age of Ultron
Ant-Man
Captain America: Civil War
Doctor Strange
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Spider-Man: Homecoming
Thor: Ragnarok

[monwobbbo]

lump mine together by superhero name and then order movies came out in.

[tallrichard]

I love the alphabet...so alphabetical in one grouping...lol

[imsounoriginal]

Release order, but the 4K Iron Man Trilogy at the very beginning.

EDIT: Better pic:

[Spencer_Kain92]

I do it by release order then the TV shows (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Agent Carter, Agents of Shield), after the movies.

[Haywardson]

I order them by the release date, it makes the most sense to me. I dont consider Iron Man trilogy, Cap trilogy etc in that way. Marvel has always been a single large story to me so I like putting them in chronological order.

[kevin87]

I used to just put everything in ABC order on my shelf, but then I started grouping some stuff by franchise, putting Marvel Cinematic Universe, Peanuts, and Studio Ghibli together. Now I put them in chronological order by release and then sequential order when it comes to connected stuff like MCU. All unconnected Marvel stays in general ABC order based on sequence.

Cap 1 is pretty vague about where it falls in the modern timeline... So until Marvel releases an official timeline saying it takes place first, I'll keep mine as third though. It just wouldn't make sense to me to have him running out and Iron Man not existing yet when he's already had two movies out at that point.

If you go by the "story takes place in the past" mentality then Doctor Strange could be in different places too, his movie obviously takes place over a couple years. Same could be said for Spider-Man: Homecoming, it supposedly takes place 8 years after The Avengers, which would put it in 2020 even though Infinity Wars is supposed to take place in 2018. So not even Marvel knows.

What do you do about GOTG2 then? That takes place months after the first, so it belongs before Age of Ultron.

[Brutalizer79]

Next time I re-arrange my shelfs, I'm probably going to stick the MCU movies in release order. As for the TV shows, I'll probably continue to keep them with the other Television stuff.

[shinobipopcorn]

Right now I have them in this order:

Iron Man 1, IM2, Thor, Cap1, AVG1, IM3, Thor2, Cap2, GOTG, AVG2, Ant, Cap3, GOTG2, Spider, and Thor3. I don't own the Hulk or Strange movies, or the TV shows.

Then on the same shelf I have the X-Men movies in release order ending with Logan. Logan is the bigger WM slipcase version, and I have both the regular and the Target metal box version of Origins. (It looks nice.)

The shelf is just big enough that the SW box set fits on the end, so I can take that out and put 2 more movies in its place and have a Marvel shelf.

[starsteam]

As of now, my shelf arrangement is

Hulk/IncredHulk/Ironman1-3/CapAmerica1990/CapAmertica1-3/Thor1-3/Avengers1-2/GOTG1-2/Antman/DocStrange/Fan4 1-2/Fan4reboot/Daredevil/Elektra/Spiderman films/HowardtheDuck

Basically, I group together a character's entire film history, seemingly in order of oldest appearance. Not sure why I put Spider-man at the end. But I'm sure someday I will rearrange it and will probably keep the MCU films together in release order. Not sure how I will handle non-MCU films.

There's a few animated movies and TV series mixed in with those too.

I keep Blade with my vampire films. I guess Blade isn't superhero enough to me.

[eggsy]

I have them in order of their release date on their own shelf.

[MarioG280]

I have them in the viewing order suggested by Den of Geek:

http://www.denofgeek.com/us/movies/m...-viewing-order

...and I do mix in the MCU TV shows as suggested (Not breaking up the individual seasons on the shelf obviously). All slipcovered editions (except UK AoS s3), on their own shelf.

[newtonp01]

I have steelbooks for all my cinematic universes (MCU, DCEU, SW, etc) which is how i distinguish them from non-connected works. For the MCU, the steelbooks are organized by release date which I feel is the most straightforward way to keep them.

[darkness2918]

I have them grouped by series like Iron Man 1-3, Captain America 1-3, ect. The single ones like Inredible Hulk are in regular alphabetical order in my comic book films section. The TV series are in my TV section.
