To lend a helping hand and address the abounding disagreements, we’ve run a proverbial red thread through the narratives and created the MCU timeline of big screen productions.

Ко второму или третьему фильму вы привыкнете и к основополагающим понятиям вселенной Marvel, и к речи главных героев, а со временем даже перестанете замечать, что смотрите кино не на родном языке.Желаю приятного просмотра!

Mutant Massacre
Mutant Massacre (Image credit: Marvel)
wasn’t an event crossover in the way that we consume and understand them today. There was no core limited series in which the main events occurs. There wasn’t even a ‘Mutant Massacre’ banner on the covers of the tie-ins. But despite lacking the standard trapping of a Marvel event had the kind of impact that a crossover such as ‘Maximum Security’ could only dream of.
This storyline marked the end of the X-Men’s stay at Xavier’s school for close to the next 100 issues and included the deaths of a handful of familiar faces, the introduction of new characters and revised team rosters, Warren Worthington/Angel being wounded to the point his wings are amputated, and a more somber tone for a franchise already known for its dourness.

Secret Wars

… , again? Déjà vu? Not exactly. See, this entry is about the second event to use the title Secret Wars.
The fallout of the newer iteration of Marvel’s first-ever crossover event included the Ultimate Universe ending completely, with aspects of it, including Miles Morales and the Triskelion, folded into the mainstream Marvel Universe, the world at large believing the Fantastic Four were dead while they rebuilt the multiverse, and the death of Marvel’s oldest character, Namor, in the aftermath (he got better.)
While the in-universe consequences stemming directly from Secret Wars are, on their own, enough to give this event a spot high up on this list, the real-world implications are even more staggering. During its run, the entire Marvel Comics line was put on hold while tie-ins explored the various aspects of the makeshift, hybrid world the storyline occurred on, Battleworld, only to see every single Marvel comic book relaunched with a new #1 as part of the ‘All-New, All-Different’ Marvel Universe.
The new universe very closely resembled the old one, making this less of a reboot and more of a retooling, but it’s likely as close as the venerable company will ever come to fully rebooting its universe, as its very proud of the fact DC has rebooted its universe multiple times and its has not.

Priestesses of the Sovereign — Жрицы СуверенаThe Priestesses of the Sovereign is a religious group among the Sovereign (Жрицы Суверена — религиозная группа среди Суверенов) Eternity — БесконечностьStar-Lord claimed to have witnessed Eternity during his hypnotic state caused by his father (Звёздный Лорд утверждает, что видел Бесконечность во время гипнотического состояния, в которое его ввёл отец.

«No More Mutants.»
With those three words, the Scarlet Witch upended the X-Men franchise in a seemingly out-of-nowhere denouement to the alternate reality series, reducing the mutant population of the Marvel Universe to less than 200 and beginning a race against extinction that finally came to an end a decade later.
rewrote the Marvel Universe — literally — creating a place where mutants were in charge under the leadership of Magneto. The fallout of the event had massive ramifications on both the X-Men and Avengers for years to come and set up plot points still referenced in both franchises today.

Onslaught

Hey, remember that time when a crossover ended with the Marvel Universe devoid of some of its most famous characters? Now, we can look back and say that the absence of the Fantastic Four, Avengers, and their respective members was only a temporary thing, but at the time that was far from a known fact, meaning that genuinely did have that feeling of having changed everything in real ways, possibly forever.
Onslaught has made a couple of comebacks, including as ‘Red Onslaught,’ a twisted manifestation of Xavier’s powers in Red Skull’s body — a nightmare that finally ended with Xavier’s resurrection. Most recently he resurfaced on Krakoa in the one-shot.
Xavier is now back whole, helping lead the newly-formed mutant island nation of Krakoa.

Civil War

Oh, , how you changed the Marvel Universe. There was that whole ‘You work for the government or you’re a criminal’ thing, that whole ‘Now no one gets on with anyone else’ thing, the skillful creation of a second Avengers book for the first time since West Coast Avengers, but more importantly, it changed the Marvel Universe by changing the tone of the Marvel Universe.
Even though ‘s decimation of mutantkind came earlier, it was Civil War that felt as if it actually had an impact on the style and content of all of Marvel’s titles for months afterward, setting the pattern for events that followed.
And Civil War is the Marvel event that just keeps giving, not only as the inspiration for , but in 2016’s comic book sequel, .

Honorable mention: The Infinity Gauntlet

Early on in , it seemed as if it would be the series that would change everything – half of humanity was dead! Natural disasters had altered the very world our characters lived in! – but everything was reset by the series’ end, with the only lasting effects being that a new Warlock series could be spun out of the whole shebang. A masterclass in the whole ‘No change, just the illusion of change’ thing.
A spiritual follow-up, , promised more lasting change — while Thanos and the gems were still a part of the story, the biggest fallout from that event was the unleashing of the Terrigen Mists and unlocking the powers of thousands if not millions of latent Inhumans.

Secret Invasion

It’s tempting to suggest that ending the then-long-running thread of ‘Who Do You Trust?’ and ‘Maybe one of these characters is an alien shapeshifter’ is enough to make the end of an important event in and of itself.
In terms of narrative, though, the series moved Tony Stark away from the position of power that he’d been in for months, and placed everything in the hands of Norman Osborn, heralding a period where the bad guys really had won… Well, at least until they started messing everything up for themselves.
The title of this series, if not its entire premise, will be adapted for an upcoming Disney Plus MCU show.

Bonus: How to watch the Marvel TV series in order
The TV series are, with some exceptions, relatively coherent with the Marvel timeline, but showrunners are trying to break free from constraints of the movie narrative and grow their stories independently. Our goal is to touch on the major, canon releases without delving outside of the established franchise.
