The Complete MCU

In order of return on time invested

Build a watch path

The guide sorts everything into five tiers by how much it actually carries. Tick off what you've seen; what's left is computed below. Or build your own path from any title in the guide and see what it comes to in hours. Hide watched clears the ticked-off titles out of the way without changing any of the totals, and Reorder lets you drag either list into an order of your own. Saved in this browser.

The source's order of return on time invested.

Three watch-order traps

  • Don't watch Loki Seasons 1 and 2 back to back on a first pass — they're separated by two years and by Quantumania.
  • Hawkeye's finale aired five days after No Way Home opened. Watch episodes 1–5, then No Way Home, then the finale.
  • Black Widow's post-credits scene takes place years after the rest of the film. Watching chronologically, skip it and come back at Hawkeye.

Tier 1

the load-bearing fifteen15 left · 40h 33m

The source estimates this tier at roughly 33 hours. Adding up the actual runtimes gives 40h 33m — the gap is mostly the two Loki seasons, which a film-count estimate tends to under-weigh. Both figures are shown rather than one quietly replacing the other. It is written as a path, so the order below is the source's.
