Avengers doomsday

Do I have to read the marvel comics to get some of the lore? I watched all the avengers movies years ago when I was 13 and I haven’t rewatched them again yet, except for the other individual superhero films like iron man, Thor, spider man, black panther, captain America etc (all the main films). I’ve rewatched them religiously lol.

I just feel kind of lost rn. Plus avengers doomsday is coming up and I feel like I have a lot to rewatch again and new things to watch.

Plus I don’t even know who doom is and how he fits into the story. I’m pretty sure it’s in the comics lol. I never read the comics before I’ve only watched the films. I’ve basically grown up with marvel my whole childhood and I’m 22 now and I still feel lost in some aspects.

I also haven’t watched most of the shows except for punisher, and wanda vision (I didn’t even finish Wanda vision). I’m going to watch Loki pretty soon since I haven’t yet. It’s overwhelming imo even though I love marvel so much. I have a procrastinating problem so that’s why I haven’t finished Wanda vision lol don’t come for me. That was years ago but I’m getting better at it. I’m wondering do I have to rewatch everything before doomsday or are there certain films I need to rewatch again and certain shows I need to begin? I know this question has been asked a lot so I apologize.

No. The movie will stand alone (or it will suck regardless of whether you've read/watched other stuff).

So you were 5 when iron man came out and 8 when when the 1st avengers came out... All good dude just watch the movies through and consider ordering secret wars comic

Doctor Doom has not been properly introduced in the films yet. 100% of what you need to know about Doctor Doom is found in the end credits scene of Fantastic Four.

Doctor Doom will be a whole new MCU villain who likely will have traits and story beats from the comics that will be explained in the film Avengers: Doomsday. There will also likely be story beats and traits that never appeared in the comics that will be revealed in that film, and quite possibly there will be aspects and traits that did appear in the comics but wont appear in the film. Those are not worth worrying about if your goal is to watch said film.

Try not to get overwhelmed by the current flood of information, because honestly what you need to know for the film will be in the film, anything beyond that usually results in your not enjoying the film as much.

If you want reminders of the multiverse concept. Spiderman: Far From Home, Loki, Doctor Strange 2, Antman: Quantumania. Although again some of them may or may not be redundant at this stage.😅

Thank you so much!! This makes me feel better. Yeah I’ve seen everything on your list except for Loki and Antman: Quantumania. I’m going to watch Loki pretty soon.

You don't need to have read any comics to understand any of the shows or movies. They all explain anything you need to know.

Of course not. If anything, reading comics in order to “get” the movies is more likely to cause confusion when it turns out that the movies change characters and events around.

Just watch the movie.

I'll have the chronological order watchlist before avengers doomsday to watch? Or to skip the others? if you want.

Sorry for the confusion but I didn’t say that. I thought they were some hidden clues in the comics that I needed to know in case they were also hidden clues in the movies if that makes sense.

You dont need to read the comics but i highly encourage it because the movies are NOT accurate reflections of the storylines or characters in them and even though the MCU is popular I still personally think people who think they know Marvel and havent picked up a comic are idiots. Also, doomsday is promoting RDJ as dr doom so I 100% assure you he will be nowhere near as good as Comic doom. If you read even 1 comic in your life it has to be one about doom because when all the negative reviews for doomsday come out saying doom sucks you wont understand why until you see his comic self

Thank you! I will consider this, since I’ve always wanted to read the comics but I haven’t had a chance to. Are there any stores you like buying the comics from?

MethodFantastic46292026-01-17 15:13

Well with doomsday and secret wars coming up, I highly recommend Johnathan Hickman's "Time Runs Out" and 2015's Secret Wars, since they seem to be what the movies are semi-inspired by. I also highly recommend any/all classic F4 and Dr Doom stories you can find as it will allow you to really get a grasp on the history of Doom and why he's such a perfect villain

Thank you so much again!!

MethodFantastic46292026-01-17 16:24

No problem

Did you see Infinity War? You didn’t have to read or watch anything to follow that story, it starts within the movie and lays out everything there.

orange_december2026-01-17 14:58

Yup I’m seen infinity war when it came out. I’ve seen every avengers movies and the individual superhero films when I was 13 and growing up. I just haven’t watched the avengers films in a while.
