One universe. Several continuity headaches.

This is a maximalist viewing guide, but it does not pretend every title occupies the same reality. Use the labels — or the filters — to choose your own marathon.

HOW THIS LIST WORKS

Release order, with the small print made readable

Films use their original US theatrical release date. Each television season is positioned by its first episode or premiere. One-Shots and bonus shorts use their original digital or home-media availability.

Legacy does not mean erased. It identifies the MCU-connected series produced by the former Marvel Television operation without claiming that every event binds today's core continuity.

Multiverse titles still matter. The label simply tells you that the story is set wholly or principally outside the primary MCU reality.
