Best way to get the physical media versions

Hi, I want to get the entire MCU on physical media ready for a massive rewatch for doomsday, I was wondering whether I should get the blu ray box sets of phases 1-3 and then the individual blu rays and 4ks for phases 4-6, or just get the individual blu rays and 4ks for the entirety of the MCU.

I’ve thinned out my collection in hope that we get the IMAX versions someday.

That depends greatly on what you can find for what price and whether you're willing to go for used sets. Also whether uniformity of your collection is something that's important to you; I personally wouldn't be super happy having like Phase 2 in a set and everything else separately but either way.

As for 4K, everything before the first Black Panther was finished in 2K and the 4Ks are only upscaled. They do look a little bit better but not by all that much. I'd go for Blu-rays for the older ones unless you can find a really good deal for the 4Ks.

Ok thanks. That’s super helpful. I think I’ll get the blu ray box sets for phases 1-3, as I don’t want to pay loads more for 4ks if they are only slightly better.

But the HDR and atmos on the 4ks make them worth it 110%

Yep, but really if you have a 5.1 surround system at home they will sound the same. The lossless 5.1 on the Blu-ray is just as good.

There's also HDR and Atmos to keep in mind. Yes, they are upscales, but there's more to the 4K format than just resolution. :)

I think you can get all of them, including the shows on physical media. Only minor issue is Hawkeye and Loki season 2, those are only available in 4K Blu-ray and not regular Blu-ray. Everything else is Blu-ray, DVD, etc.

>I think you can get all of them, including the shows on physical media.

That's not accurate, there's some things that haven't appeared.

* The Netflix shows were not all released on any physical media. IIRC, Season 3 of Daredevil never saw a physical release.
* I don't believe all of the Marvel TV shows were released on physical media. AoS was, Agent Carter was, but I don't think Helstrom was and I think 1-2 of the others weren't.
* Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Echo, Secret Invasion, Agatha, and Ironheart from Disney+ have not been released on any physical media.
* Werewolf by Night, Guardian's Christmas Special, the Groot shorts, What If, and others like it haven't been released on physical media.

You know what I mean.

Just get a Netflix account for the Marvel Netflix shows.

Agents of Shield, Haelstrom, Inhumans are not canon.

Get Disney + for agent Carter.

I only mentioned Loki season 2 and Hawkeye as the latest releases on physical media, do you want me to edit? And you forgot the upcoming Wonderman and the animated shows like your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and X-Men '97

I started my rewatch [this week](https://webcal://p65-caldav.icloud.com/published/2/Mjc1MDI4MTY5Mjc1MDI4MXt9hUVvYeBzYxF9JDApoyxHs0crmVESfv7nQA6Bn3BHO4U0WPOkUkiPpUHo6NQ71lNMul567iSN7A8s23mQEDI). It’s an evolving calendar but it’s getting there.

That’s entirely up do you. What makes the most financial sense? How important is the quality to you? Do you have the storage for all of those discs after? And so on. Why are you asking random people what you should do rather than doing what’s best for you?

I've seen Blu-rays at Wal-mart that have all of the movies in a set (Guardians 1-3, Thor 1-4, etc) on one disc for a pretty low price. That would be a way to save some money, but won't look as good on a shelf.

CaptHayfever2026-01-12 03:47

Individual movie discs are really easy to find at most places that carry movies (V-Stock, Walmart, Barnes & Noble, et cet). As someone else noted, the subseries box sets at Walmart are also easy to get.

The phase boxsets & the full-Infinity-Saga boxset are trickier.
And the physical sets of the shows (at least the ones that *were made*) are much harder to come by (the old shows because they're out of print, & the new ones because they're intentionally limited-edition).

See what kinda deals Disney Movie Club has. Yeah, you'll need to commit to a certain amount. But it might be a good head start.

If you can afford 4K, almost every movie looks quite a bit better that way thanks mostly to HDR. But if money is tight the Blu-rays aren’t bad at all.
