Stuff to watch

I decided to binge the mcu from start to finish last year during my freshman year of college. I finished this summer with Fantastic 4 in theaters. Watching those movies and shows really took up a lot of my free time and gave me something to look forward to. Theres really nothing like it. I watched all the movies, every disney plus show with daredevil and the defenders included as well as the fox xmen movies and deadpool. i even watched all of the current dcu just to try and get that feeling back.

does anyone have something i could watch thats at least somewhat similar?

It's hard to find sprawling storytelling like this. The closest things I can think of are The Canterbury Tales or Discworld (neither of which has significant film/TV adaptation) or Middle-Earth (parts of which can be see in the Lord of the Rings films, the Hobbit films, & the Rings of Power show).

There are some other shows connected to the MCU you can try out, though: Agents of SHIELD, Agent Carter, Cloak & Dagger, and Runaways. (And if you *only* watched Daredevil and Defenders from that batch, then I also recommend some of the other shows that go with them: Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and The Punisher.)

Addendum: try Star Wars and Star Trek, too. I don't know how my mind blanked on those earlier.

agents of shield is soooo good (a little slow until s1e13)

Have you watched WandaVision and Agatha All Along. How do you find the magic side of the MCU? My favourite side.

butterflya822025-12-08 03:08

Loved both these shows and the magic in it

Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Carter, Inhumans\*, Runaways, Cloak & Dagger, and Helstrom

\*It sucks but gives you bragging rights.

Throw in those random Fox X-Men shows like Legion and Generation X to be a true completist. 🤓

safdar9992025-12-07 16:03

Get invested in Star Wars.

Not a bad suggestion. Between the 12 movies, 13+ shows, and various shorts and web series, it’s probably the most extensive multimedia franchise outside of the MCU (and it probably even overtakes it if you factor in the books, comics, audio dramas, etc.).

The DC Animated Universe is also really extensive but way heavier on the TV side of things than the movies.

There’s also the DCEU/DCU, but I haven’t found my experience with them as rich as with the MCU, Star Wars, or the DCAU yet.

CaptHayfever2025-12-07 17:19

D'oh! I don't know how I didn't think of Star Wars.

Tweaked20002025-12-07 17:44

True. Im a star wars fan as well. Watched 3,4,5,7,8, and 9 to completion so far. i started watching the og trilogy back to back last year but didnt start rotj yet. im on my second playthrough of jedi survivor too

InvestigatorLive192025-12-07 16:17

I don't rly know any other shows or films that give the same feelings, but if you're into reading, I'd recommend the cosmere. It's incredible

HanzoSteel2025-12-07 16:23

All of the Godzilla and Kong movies with all the spinoffs total up to about 64 movies if you’re looking for another epic franchise to watch. 77 if you throw in all the Gamera movies to because why not.

I just recently did a casual rewatch of Star Trek. That took about 2 years. It’s a shared universe with a little bit of crossover.

TheDabuAndRayan2025-12-07 16:32

I'll highly recommend agent of shield!

Lima19982025-12-07 16:44

If you have a PS5, the Marvel’s Spider-Man games (and the Batman Arkham games too).

Jimenezguey2025-12-07 16:56

There’s a whole thing about it on Reddit… but ‘Agents of Shield’ is a fun and loosely tied to the MCU show. ‘Marvel one-shots’ are fun shorts to see

Sharkfighter20002025-12-07 18:20

The “Lil Groot” shorts are really good too.

bkinboulder2025-12-07 17:41

Start reading the Dungeon Crawler Carl series.

Sharkfighter20002025-12-07 18:23

Get complete with Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, Echo, Agents of Shield, Runaways, Cloak & Dagger, Legion, Hellstrom and the X shows plus New Mutants film.

Might be a bit much but maybe check out DC’s Arrowverse? They are low budget but they did have heart. The highs are high and the lows are low.

If you haven’t heard of it, it is an interconnected universe but it’s all shows. They usually do their own thing except for an annual crossover where they bring in characters from most if not all the shows into an “Avengers level event”.

butterflya822025-12-08 03:07

I recently watched all the mcu movies again during the summer and then the shows , fun times

Ordinary-Chain-80472025-12-08 05:50

Star Wars?
