Never really noticed how Tony barely wears a suit in Civil War, but this makes a lot of sense. Ironically, that’s probably my favorite version of Tony.
I know a lot of people were campaigning for Chris Evans and RDJ for Oscars for Endgame, but I think that if they deserved recognition for any performance, it was definitely Civil War. Civil War Tony was fantastic
Phase 4? : Villains deceptively become “heroes” (Mysterio, US Agent in Falcon and the winter soldier probably, Thunderbolts maybe introduced or Dark Avengers/Dark Reign)
@@northwindkey Are you implying that it didn't deserve to be shat on just because it follows a similar and very spread through-line? Also the Avengers are more like Birth (Av1) - Life (AoU) - Death (AIW) - Ascension (AE)
Related: The Incredible Hulk is a better film if you watch it after Captain America because you understand what sort of Hero they are trying to recreate after they lost Steve
Agreed. I always watch Phase 1: Captain America Incredible Hulk Iron Man 1&2 Thor Avengers It tells a better story of super soldiers, Tony, and Thor&Loki.
Addibro - yeah pretty much any Marvel order scramble falls apart with post credit scenes. I typically just watch the credit scenes on UA-cam in whatever order they fit nicest (the Hulk one after Iron Man instead)
@Sir Knight Errant Honestly, Age of Ultron felt more like Iron Man 4. The continuation of his PTSD. Its so wildly different from the other Avengers films which are all to an extent about Thanos' hunt for the Infinity Stones. I think Avengers works better as a trilogy of Avengers, Infinity War and Endgame. Avengers Assemble, Avengers Fall, Avengers rise.
@@cameronjosephvideos5942 If Age of Ultron felt more like Iron Man 4, then Civil War felt like it was combining Captain America 3, Iron Man 5, and Avengers 2.5 into 1 movie.
Well no Cameron, making trilogy is bad idea cosidering the entire point age of Ultron is to show team growing a part which is actually the main theme of these movies.
what got me was when Feige was asked why civil war happened, he responded "So the avengers are not a cohesive unit moving forward into Infinity War." So it makes sense, like Nando said, you want to have characters at their worst at the end of the second act, but what rubbed me the wrong was was that the reasoning only spoke to future events. It was an argument that we need this effect so here is a cause. Nando's order in contrast gives us that the individual Avengers are feeling loss so when Civil war happens they are left separated. It reinforces a narrative based cause an effect.
If we use a three act structure to compartmentalize the Avengers movies, the acts are as it follows Act 1: The Avengers Act 2: Age of Ultron + Infinity War (ending with the characters at their worst) Act 3: Endgame
I assume you put Guardians before Age of Ultron because it explains the Infinity Stones easily to a new audience and so it makes sense when pop up in AoU? You said you'd explain why you put Guardians where it was but if you did then I think I missed it 😅
I think he put it there because Thor’s post credit scene transitions well into Guardians since it features the Collector. Other than that, the Order doesn’t really matter as Guardians was already the last movie released before Age of Ultron came out
I think you close out Phase 2 with Civil War... there's your Empire Strikes Back, all hope is lost ending, right there... Phase 3 has so many movies in it already, it makes sense to me to end with a fractured Avengers. Edit: aaaaaaand if I had waited literally thirty seconds longer before posting this comment, I would have seen that he did, in fact, do that... so... never mind...
@@englandderogatory9224 He doesn't have to do anything. I'm just asking him to explain his point so I can understand his point and see where he is coming from.
Tony doesn’t give up being Iron Man at the end of Iron Man 3, he starts over. It’s called the “clean slate protocol” and it serves as a way to shave down the suits as a distraction from Pepper and his well-being. He never said he was done being Iron Man.
The helicarrier is in age of Ultron is called by Coulson at the end of season 2, although if you're ignoring the TV shows (like marvel does) then you wouldn't know that, but agents does flesh out the story of shield after winter soldier Edit: Thanks for all the likes!
Agents of shield does a lot there, yes, but especially after one of the movie execs said that in "movie canon" coulson is dead I think it's clear they're separating the two and the helicarrier in AoU really is coming off as an ex ´machina
@@ZeeDrakon Yeah, it just bums me out. When infinity war was first announced way back when, the agents and characters from the Netflix shows were on the cast list. Would have loved to see a version like that, but at this point, marvel tv has nothing to do with the movie studio
@@ZeeDrakon It was Whedon who said that about Coulson, but he's not exactly wrong if one is only watching the movies, then as far the story is gonig he's dead, but we know he's alive if your watching the series
This was perfect. My ONLY problem throughout was that it wouldn't feel climactic an ending, but adding Civil War fixes that. This is now my headcanon ordering.
I always assumed that Civil War was part of Phase 2, it really does feel climatic imo. And to my knowledge it starts off phase 3 or doesn't conflict with whatever does start phase 3 so it works. I guess they always want to neatly finish a phase with an avengers movie, but Civil War kind of is one.
was literally skipping around marvel supercuts thinking "you know somebody could really do better with a ultracut movie" and then I check my inbox and like okay
Start thinking about cures for cancer and stumbling upon an investment that will make you enough money to live a comfortable life while taking care of those you love...

Me: Time to unwind with the latest Nando video. Nando: Alright, we've got alot to get through so turn your textbooks to page 616 and let's get started...
I actually watched Iron Man 3 and Winter Soldier after Age of Ultron, so I can confirm that this works Edit: Not that there isn't continuity errors, but that the tone of the movies fits better this way.
My biggest issue with this watch order is that it makes The Winter Soldier worse. The reveal about Hydra wasn't just big because it came from within SHIELD, but because everyone thought Hydra had been wiped out. Knowing that Hydra is still out there in some form weakens the amazing reveal in The Winter Soldier. Also, I know you said you weren't talking about the TV shows, but Agents of Shield explains away your issues with Shield's presence in Age of Ultron. Shield is still very much an active (underground) organization. Coulson is the one who discovered where Loki's scepter was (info which he passed onto Maria Hill), and he also gave Fury access to Shield's last remaining helicarrier.
You know, I think I always took for granted that Civil War *was* in Phase 2, simply because in the lead up to Age of Ultron when we learned about Civil War being the next CA installment, the actors on social media made relentless jokes about why their characters might fight each other. Plus, AOU itself already establishes some fundamental disagreements between Tony and Steve that make the film feel like a Civil War pre-game show. So I definitely agree that it belongs there.
Marvek just needs to calm down and do a better job of planning ahead...actually, Disney in general needs to slow down just a bit and do some better planning with there films. Star wars, while I liked the first two movies has some very sloppy cohesion that could have been mitigated if Disney had a clearer long term vision.
Frantic Toast well it is significantly better then what marvel themselves made. Don’t get me wrong, I am a huge marvel fan boy, but even I can admit that age of Ultron just doesn’t work very well with the movies that came before it. They were able to cordinate their movies much better in phase 3. So they learned from their mistakes, but you gotta admit where they did stumble
This is a result of them being too worried about taking risks so deciding to return to a status quo. None of this moving around would be necessary if Age of Ultron was better thought out.
The worst thing is people blame that on IM3 (which us great), completely.missing the symbolism. I also don't think its AoU's complete fault either as if you take a minute to think about it, his motivations do track. But, it is a bit jarring as there is no time to mull it over or at least a scene to drill down what the end of IM3 meant.
@Sir Knight Errant Agreed. The only true flaws of both: in AOU, there wasn't enough James Spader; in IM3, there wasn't enough Sam Rockwell :P (Oh! You could replace IM3's post credits scene with the Hail to the King one-shot!)
It’s only weird with the intro battle tho which you can easily rationalise as “well I mean it was important” the main reason he creates ultron and the drones is to create the world where the avengers aren’t needed, where he doesn’t have to be iron man so he can be with pepper, but when that doesn’t work with ultron going rogue he has to deal with that issue himself as he’s responsible for it, after that he continues being iron man leading to the issues between pepper and tony in civil war because he did choose to continue being iron man as well as why he’s so open to the accords because he still feels the weight of ultron
You'll also have to get rid of literally EVERY reference to the Avengers fighting Hydra in the first part of Av2 -- not just one throwaway line. In fact you have no clear reason why they're fighting these people at all, other than being a paramilitary group who got hold of Loki's scepter, but how the heck did that even happen? (Edited to add: I do like the idea in principle tho.)
I actually always found the fact the Avengers were there odd anyway. Yeah, they were residual Hydra, but I never felt that they seemed to present an Avengers level threat.
A Simple fix, hydra is known to still be around but the default assumption is that they are a small threat that has no real relevance till we learn that they are literally within shield itself...the paramilitary group is a red herring.
They are there due to events that happened on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. since Joss Whedon was the executive producer for the show and since at the time they were still attempting to do cross production with the movies influencing the show.
@gerizzyYMcrew true. I just posted that to help explain why the Avengers and not S.H.I.E.L.D. was at Barron Von Strucker's hideout. AoS basically was supplemental material for Phase 2 since just about every movie affected the show.
If I may add a new post-credit scene for Winter Soldier: We cut back to Sam’s veteran’s of war meeting, a woman walks in. Sam asks who she is, she replies “a victim of war, who would appreciate your help.” Camera pans up, it’s Wanda Maximoff!
@@filthyneutral5801 I meant more, she'd have presumably appeared on the news and stuff between the "stop the train" incident, and also the whole floating city battle she took part in. That's why i said know of, not know ^^
I LOVE this reworking of the phase, everything makes SO MUCH MORE SENSE!!! I think someone who knows how to edit should try to make the little changes Nando explains: dialogue and Falcon cameo in Ultron, Friday re-dub for Iron Man 3 (which might not even be possible, but idk), stuff like that. Even without them though, this is my new headcanon for the MCU.
Cinemawins said something that I think explains the ending of iron man 3 the best. The clean slate wasn't him ending iron man, but him putting other things in his life, like pepper. I just think he was turning a new leaf
To be fair, I think the idea is that Tony is trying to step away from being Iron Man after 3, dropping the idea of these suits he controls for an AI that controls them without his input; but he has to step back into the suit until Ultron is ready, and then full-time because Ultron didn't pan out. Kinda like his plan for an Iron Man team in the anime that he has to drop at the end of episode 1.
Another issue is that we see Hulk leaving earth in a quinjet by the end of Ultron while the end credit scene in Iron Man 3 showed Tony talking to Bruce. The Iron Man 3 ending contradicts with Bruce and Hulk's appearances in Thor: Ragnarok because how can they still be on earth if they're on Sakarr battling Thor?
@@pretendtheresaname9213 I did watch the video but he's wrong to assume that scene wouldn't exist because in Iron Man 3, JARVIS is still a computer program while in Age of Ultron, he's downloaded into Vision's body. That is another reason why Iron Man 3 shouldn't be placed after Age of Ultron.
I would actually move Ant-Man to before Civil War, after Iron Man 3 and I would likewise move the end credit scene of the Avengers Assembling to the end of Winter Soldier. First, Falcon must show up in the movie as it explains how Ant-Man joins the Avengers. Second, Ant-Man specifically raids Avengers HQ, not SHIELD. It reflects that while Cap's intentions are noble, he lacks the resources necessary to run the Avengers as a global force and that leads to the problems seen in Civil War. And third, speaking of Civil War, this movie would directly lead into that movie, considering the post-credit scene has Falcon seeking Scott out, presumably because of the events of Civil War's first half.
Just let him be dead. Coulson's apparently back, Gamora's apparently back, and Black Widow is kind of back for one more movie. Just let the people who actually die stay dead.
Age of ultron always felt like the iron man 2 of the avengers. I like iron man 2 but it spent too much of its time setting up future movies. Ultron felt important because of what it set up
@@samjackson9560 I understand what you mean, I personally enjoy the set ups, but they all do feel out of place, but I think it helped build up the Avengers
Long time follower, this is still my favorite video you have made. The point about Tony hanging up the suits and it being a big deal in Civil War is such a genius idea I wish was canon.
Tony never stopped being iron man. Iron man 3 ended with tony saying that he is still iron man. He blew up the suits because they represented his need for control that he lost when he went through that wormhole. That’s why each one is built for a different purpose with different abilities, they represent an attack he hadn’t expected, an occasion he felt he was unprepared for. A manifestation of his need for some form of control. Blowing up the suits wasn’t him giving up on iron man, it was him giving up on control and responding to threats out of fear. It’s called clean slate protocol because it’s a new start for him to be better, which he tried to do through the use of the drones to protect citizens and the creation of Ultron to protect the earth. Creating the drones wasn’t undoing the end of iron man 3. The only problem I had with this video was your reasoning for why iron man 3 should go after age of ultron. Everything else seems fine though
Start of video: Why change the movies, why not change the order End of video: Makes more changes to the movies than would have had to the first time around. 😂 jk it’s a gr8 video and I get your points. Personally the release order still works for me but I totally get it.
I just thought of tag lines for the boxes of these movies based on "The Nandorder". Phase one: Assembled, Phase two: Disassembled, Phase three: Reassembled
Another I love about the order is we didn't really get to see the Avengers spend time as a team in Avengers Tower, as soon as they were shown in AOU, that same time had them move out from there to Avengers compound which was being run by SHIELD not Tony Stark. So to move from AOU into Winter Soldier makes a lot of sense. You could even swap the last two movies in the Nando order to have Ant-Man be the last movie since the post-credits scene alludes to Civil War to make it seem a more organic transition
I never saw the appearance of shield as weird or out of place in AoU, maybe because in agents of shield we were shown that shield wasn’t completely dismantled, we see that like half the agents were actually from hydra but there’s a portion of shield still functioning
Captain marvel actually goes after captain america the first avenger since its set in the 90s. It actially goes: Captain America: The First Avenger (1943 - 1945) Captain Marvel (1995) Iron Man (2010) Iron Man 2 (2011) The Incredible Hulk (2011) Thor (2011) Avengers (2012
This is the proper way to watch the mcu in chronological order Captain America The First Avenger Captain Marvel Iron Man Iron Man 2 The Incredible Hulk Thor Marvel's The Avengers Iron Man 3 Thor The Dark World Captain America The Winter Soldier Guardians Of The Galaxy Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 Avengers Age Of Ultron Ant-Man Captain America Civil War Black Panther Spider-Man Homecoming Doctor Strange Thor Ragnarok Ant-Man And The Wasp Avengers Infinity War Avengers Endgame Spider-Man Far From Home
The Clean Slate Protocol is just that, a clean slate. Tony wanted to start over his work with Iron Man with a different mentality. So him having Iron Man suits in Age of Ultron isn't really a problem, the problem is that the PTSD he struggled with in that movie just disappeared in AoU, which makes it feel very fake, and thus, It is insulting to those who struggle with PTSD in real life.
I'm in the middle of an MCU rewatch and honestly this really works for me. I have been pushing Civil War because it really didnt feel like a follow-up to Ultron. Ultron could use the rework. A lot of the characters have 1 liners that are funny, but not organic to how that character would act in the moment. Although I would miss the Falcon cameos, but I just love Falcon.
If that's the case, Age of Ultron should drop the entire "Hydra" part since Hydra is to be revealed working in the Winter Soldier, which is set after Age of Ultron in this new order.
A comment above proposed this, but some rewriting could be involved wherein Hydra is still around after The First Avenger but isn't a particularly major threat, but that the paramilitary organization was a red herring to conceal the true nature of Hydra, lurking within Shield.
@@DevNode27 hmm okay that does kind of work, I just think it still takes away from the impact that not only has SHIELD been compromised but the *how* as well. Everyone in-universe thought Hydra was gone, which makes their return in TWS even more sinister.
and well it doesnt make sense why stark creates ultron realy sure there is this dream, because if you look at how original order goes tony fight kilian learns no matter how many suits he has they are not realy the anwser unless he has some special sauce he has to get working aka ultron
yeah but the general audience probably doesn't watch agents of shield and only watches the movies without any regard to what happens in the shows. the movies and shows tend to exist as separate properties anyway, so it's better to have a cohesive movie phase than to force a movie audience watch the shows to understand
@@musicalbrit3465 except during the time of Agents of Shield season 2, A.O.S was apart of the MCU Timeline and continuity and still is lol. The Only time it when it was out of the timeline was when it went into the future but it came back to the timeline during the last episode lol.
@@Spidervenom23 I haven’t seen AOC but isn’t coulson literally still alive? I’m pretty sure it follows the same events but isn’t actually a part of the MCU and the stuff that happens in it haven’t happened in the actual continuity. The MCU should stand by itself anyway- as I said, you shouldn’t HAVE to watch AOC to understand where the helicarrier comes from. It should’ve been set up properly within the story.
@@musicalbrit3465 AOS is apart of the MCU as well as Agent Carter. Coulson team was the reason why the Rogue Avengers was able live off the books as long as they did until IW. The Only time you can say that AOS wasn't apart is when they start time-traveling into the future but that Timeline is pretty much Dead and gone by the end of Season 6 I think and they are back into the MCU Canon by the end of the last season.
The problem here is the whole reason they are hunting down hydra at the beginning is because of learning they are still active in winter soldier though.
One huge flaw with all of this. The SHIELD stuff in Age of Ultron makes sense because it connects to the show Agents of SHIELD. In the show, Shield goes underground after the events of Winter Soldier with a skeleton crew and is run by a resurrected Phil Coulson. Coulson regularly communicates with Fury and Maria Hill, passing along the intel about the location of Strucker. And more importantly, restoring a carrier for use in Sokovia.
I love AoS as much as you, but for someone JUST watching the films, they don’t KNOW the background of what’s happening. AoS was basically IGNORED around Ultron.
Just rewrite the line about "A few friends took her out of mothballs" to something like "You can thank agent Coulson for the Carrier!" And have Coulson and his team on the Carrier.
Dude…not only does no one watch that but it isn’t considered canon by Kevin Fiege. All Agents of Shield build off of Avengers stuff cause they need to make money
@@LaneCorbett none of the Avengers seem aware that Coulson is alive. That line would just create confusion because either the action stops to explain or they just speed through it like nobody cares a guy came back to life.
What I love about Nando is he’s a great rewriter. He could title the video “Why falcon can be galactus 1on 1” and I’m just like “.....I mean it’s nando so sure probably”
Great points, Nando! I also like the idea of Thor 2, GotG, then Avengers 2 because it introduces the Infinity Stones in a more organic way, especially following Avengers 1 where we got the Tesseract. You could honestly probably move the Thanos post-credits scene from Avengers 2 to GotG Volume 2, since by that point, we’ve already seen 5 of the 6 stones.
It's kind of crazy to see this fit together so well. You nailed the corrections, and everyone's character development feels much more fluid and natural. Well done!
Creates an unforeseen issue with Pepper Potts. If Iron Man 3 and Civil War are adjacent it begs the question what happened to Tony and Pepper that split them up? Tony would mention in Civil War that Ultron created tension but that makes no sense if they were happy together at the end of IM3 and IM3 is set after AoU.
IMO: In the Winter Soldier, it’s just revealed that hydra survived in like one third of shield. The whole thing isn’t taken down yet. So, in Ultron, Ultron takes over project Insight as it launches, with an awesome battle with all the Avengers spanning three helicarriers.
@@nathanieldiaz5254 phase 3 has similar problems. The big issue is that films are announced before they even have a script, then they find plot points that, despite being out of order, make more sense for certain characters. Then stuff gets all wonky when they get released. That's why we get lighthearted heist romp Ant-Man 2 coming out immediately after half of the entire universe gets destroyed
@@harrylane4 I think it works well- ant man 2 happens pretty much alongside infinity war, and I love how the lighthearted tone of the movie is completely contrasted with its end credit scene- for most of the people living on the MCU earth, they didn’t have any clue about the snap until it happened. People were probably just messing around and having fun one minute and then the next the people they were laughing with have literally turned to dust. It’s the juxtaposition that’s truly horrifying.
Interesting idea but it creates more problems than it solves. It’s easier just to imagine Tony changed his mind about the suits and that’s why he and Pepper are taking a break. It’s also easier to think Fury took the helicarriers out of mothballs for insidious Fury-like reasons that he didn’t bother telling the Avengers about, i.e. S.W.O.R.D.
I always thought that the one helicarrier you see in Age of Ultron is the original from the 1st Avengers film; they put it in storage when they were building the Insight carriers, as it wasn't needed anymore.
Except that Iron Man 3 specifically deals with Tony's post Avengers 1 PTSD. And Jarvis is in it, who is destroyed in AoU. And in AoU Tony states that he & Potts were on a break, which isn't addressed then until Civil War, so them together in IM3 inbetween that would have no explanation. And his armour version stated in IM3 is 42, but in AoU it's 46. And there's a Fury line in AoU that the helicarrier was the last one left "pulled out of mothballs", which wouldn't be the case if before Winter Soldier...
4:41 The Helicarrier is from the show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. You have to watch its first two seasons also to get the full picture. 5:47 Tony never stopped being Iron Man at the end of Iron Man 3. The movie ends with him collecting the remaining parts of his destroyed suits, and uttering the words "I Am Iron Man".
The Helicarrier comes from Coulson and was actually an inciting event for the SHIELD Civil War in "Agents of SHIELD"... But because Kevin Feige and Marvel didn't give a f$?k about connecting the two connect in any f&cking way... This is never shown in the movies.
Among the opening lines of Age of Ultron: "We've been after this thing since SHIELD collapsed" Nando viewer who believed him about the right order: "Wait, what?"
Yeah but the problem with that is wile everyone that watched Agents also watched the movies but not everyone that watched the movies watched agents. As much as I love Agents of SHIELD the helicarrier should have been explained somehow in the movie and not in the show.
I disagree. Iron Man 3 perfectly sets up Tony and his headspace for AOU, The Winter Soldier also perfectly leads Cap into AOU, and Thor Dark World does as well. In Iron Man 3, Tony said he was “trimming down” the Iron Man thing, in other words NOT retiring! Age of Ultron also starts by the Avengers cleaning up Hydra after TWS so that would not only take away an entire opening action sequence that connects beautifully to TWS, but it would also keep hydra out of the picture which would mean that you would have to do MAJOR reconstruction to AOU since hydra had the scepter. Also, shield is still shut down in AOU, they literally say so early on in the film. Just because Fury had access to an old helicarrier doesn’t mean shield is still operational. Plus, in regards to your AOU opinion, Age of Ultron has better character development than the first Avengers! Less like caricatures and more like relatable humans.
I’ve always thought that Ultron should’ve been saved up to be used as the new Thanos who served to challenge the new and old heroes in a different way than the Mad Titan. I think the second avengers film should’ve been a team of villains that survived the solo movies coming back with a plan to punish the avengers. You don’t need to bring in Wanda or Pietro either, I’ll explain, so perhaps at the end in a PCS you can show them training with their powers. My idea is that you have Baron Strucker (being an actual character) be someone who knows of the villain team and is left alive for the 3rd Cap film. And then the actual team is The Living Laser (its Obadiah Stane), Crossbones (have a different design for him so he’s not darth vader melted, alter his TWS credit scene), some kind of BW or Hawkeye villain that we’ve not seen for something different, and finally Samuel Sterns. Sterns replaces the need for Wanda with his own powers.
@@lemurwrench6344 you haven't watched MCU movies, but have seen the show?? Wow, you really are in the minority, but also my new favourite person 😀 AoS is my favorite part of the whole MCU! So personally, I'd like to watch the (phase 2) movies in telecast order, if only for the two biggest crossovers - CA:WS and AoU are in that order
@aydooknow I can't argue with you coz I can't be objective about AoS. Would just like to point out I didn't say it is the most premier series, I said it was my most favourite part. Also, since Carter crossed over with AoS, and Jarvis ended up in Endgame, AoS is cannon unless something specific happens that goes against it. The snap? I'll reserve my opinion till the end of Season 7
Now this is my headcanon order. As you said, you just need to imagine some lines being different and don't watch 1 post-credit scene. Although, in your version of Iron-Man 3, Tony could just be using a different AI with a Jarvis text-to-speech over it. Oh yeah, when I first saw the first two Avengers movies, I wasn't really aware of the non-Iron Man movies, so I just accepted what I was seeing. This sort of brings that back.
Age of Ultron is terrible but re: Tony’s opening contradicting the end of Iron Man 3 - an addict making some grand gesture and then relapsing almost immediately checks out way more than loads of other MCU decisions. Not saying that was a conscious choice (of course it just happens because Iron Man gotta Iron Man), but for the character it totally checks out.
I kinda wish they'd addressed it more, but you're right, it does check out, ESPECIALLY since in Civil War, Pepper and Tony are "on a break", implying she left him thanks to said relapse happening. Having her go on a break from him after the end of Iron Man 3 would probably make her look really bad
@@davidcosloff but....he's not? In Civil War, Pepper and Tony were "on a break". They seemingly only reconnected between Civil War and Infinity War (She likely returned when she heard what happened to Rhodey and wanted to support Tony)
I'm sure I'm not the first person to say this, but the reason the helicarrier in Age of Ultron seems to come out of nowhere is because it's a tie in to Agents of Shield (something I wish the MCU kept doing afterwards). Now that Agents of Shield is considered (mostly) non-canon, it seems weird, but if you watch AoS in sync with the movies, it gives some pay off for an arc in that show that would otherwise go nowhere
So you're saying for your version of this to work we have to ignore details, pretend characters aren't who they are and we have to dismiss lines characters say. It's a swing and a miss for me. If you're telling me to ignore characters and dialogue in order for your order to make sense then it fails
Yeah, I agree. Machete order works because you don't have to do any of that for the story of Star Wars to work if you watch the movies in that order, since unlike here you aren't actually changing when in the overall timeline the movies take place. I usually agree with Nando's videos, and I do think he has a point that it would have made Phase 2 better if the movies were actually done in that order, but I think he really dropped the ball here by suggesting we actually watch the videos in said order and ignore everything that doesn't fit.
Isn't the helicarrier the same one from the first Avengers? Fury quotes it being a little dusty but still flies well. Makes sense to still exist and not be one of the 3 in Winter Soldier that were destroyed
If you watch them in the order you present, the storyline in Age of Ultron doesn't make sense. The only reason they go after the staff is because the leaking of Hydra files reveals all their bases and hideouts, including the location of the staff
I have my own order when it comes to the first 6, I've never tried it, but it goes like this. 1, 2 (getting to know Anakin), 4, 5, (we see Luke in the future find out about his Father, and then we find that the hero Anakin is the evil villian), 3, we now find how the hero from 1 and 2 became the villian from 4 and 5) rounding out with 6 (the overall redemption).
I always felt that Phase 2 was a bit of a mess. Much as I like Civil War, it shoulda been an Avengers film instead of a Captain America film. Captain America 3 shoulda been based on the Nomad story from the comics. Cap witnesses a depressed U.S. President commit suicide, shaking his faith in America. He tries to cut ties to the government but they own the name Captain America so he ditches the identity to become Nomad. But then Red Skull returns and kills a kid wearing a Cap costume, forcing him to reclaim his mantle. Also Age of Ultron & Civil War shoulda been the same film, Ultron manipulates the Civil War to distract the Avengers from his scheme.
@William Clay in age of Ultron there was no change to his arc and then you kind of get pieces here and there in other movies that actually move it forward
Machete order can be done. This.... too much "pretending", "ignoring" and basically making a whole new inconsistent narrative just to fit a couple of moments better. I think I'll just watch the movie in release order and hate Age of Ultron forever as always.
From one side: what you say makes sense (especially having ultron before winter soldat), but on the other, we lack that fine thread that connects movies the way you'd suggest in form of mentions or snippets of dialogue. I'd still rather watch it the way it was made I guess...
Never really noticed how Tony barely wears a suit in Civil War, but this makes a lot of sense. Ironically, that’s probably my favorite version of Tony.
I know a lot of people were campaigning for Chris Evans and RDJ for Oscars for Endgame, but I think that if they deserved recognition for any performance, it was definitely Civil War. Civil War Tony was fantastic
Tony only wears a suit when he attends prestigious events
Mark Cruz Airports in Germany are very prestigious :)

Hmm. Birth, Death, Rebirth. That sounds oddly familiar to the proposed trilogy around a certain other SUPERhero that everyone shat on.
@@northwindkey Are you implying that it didn't deserve to be shat on just because it follows a similar and very spread through-line? Also the Avengers are more like Birth (Av1) - Life (AoU) - Death (AIW) - Ascension (AE)

Civil War always did feel like the real Avengers 2...so this makes sense.
Civil War is leagues ahead of Age of Ultron
@Sir Knight Errant Honestly, Age of Ultron felt more like Iron Man 4. The continuation of his PTSD. Its so wildly different from the other Avengers films which are all to an extent about Thanos' hunt for the Infinity Stones. I think Avengers works better as a trilogy of Avengers, Infinity War and Endgame. Avengers Assemble, Avengers Fall, Avengers rise.
@@cameronjosephvideos5942
If Age of Ultron felt more like Iron Man 4, then Civil War felt like it was combining Captain America 3, Iron Man 5, and Avengers 2.5 into 1 movie.
Civil War is a Captain America film and even feels like one to me thematically personally.
Well no Cameron, making trilogy is bad idea cosidering the entire point age of Ultron is to show team growing a part which is actually the main theme of these movies.
I LOVE how you don't just point at the problems and complain about them, but also always has a creative solution. Thank you, I am inspired
*cough* hi-top films
Yeah sometimes it gets a bit much when critics just complain and not suggest any improvements.
what got me was when Feige was asked why civil war happened, he responded "So the avengers are not a cohesive unit moving forward into Infinity War."
So it makes sense, like Nando said, you want to have characters at their worst at the end of the second act, but what rubbed me the wrong was was that the reasoning only spoke to future events. It was an argument that we need this effect so here is a cause.
Nando's order in contrast gives us that the individual Avengers are feeling loss so when Civil war happens they are left separated. It reinforces a narrative based cause an effect.
If we use a three act structure to compartmentalize the Avengers movies, the acts are as it follows
Act 1: The Avengers
Act 2: Age of Ultron + Infinity War (ending with the characters at their worst)
Act 3: Endgame
I assume you put Guardians before Age of Ultron because it explains the Infinity Stones easily to a new audience and so it makes sense when pop up in AoU? You said you'd explain why you put Guardians where it was but if you did then I think I missed it 😅
I think he put it there because Thor’s post credit scene transitions well into Guardians since it features the Collector. Other than that, the Order doesn’t really matter as Guardians was already the last movie released before Age of Ultron came out
same here
Reclaimer 0101 I agree with that. Also capturing Loki at the end of the first avengers leads directly into the beginning of Thor 2
Yeah but Age of Ultron was literally the next release after Guardians so that's how everyone experienced the infinity stones anyway?
Doesn’t Guardians of the Galaxy come before Age of Ultron anyway (chronologically)
The way this makes 100x more sense and probably would have helped Civil War fit better in the universe
I think you close out Phase 2 with Civil War... there's your Empire Strikes Back, all hope is lost ending, right there...
Phase 3 has so many movies in it already, it makes sense to me to end with a fractured Avengers.

Tony doesn’t give up being Iron Man at the end of Iron Man 3, he starts over. It’s called the “clean slate protocol” and it serves as a way to shave down the suits as a distraction from Pepper and his well-being. He never said he was done being Iron Man.
The helicarrier is in age of Ultron is called by Coulson at the end of season 2, although if you're ignoring the TV shows (like marvel does) then you wouldn't know that, but agents does flesh out the story of shield after winter soldier
Edit: Thanks for all the likes!
Agents of shield does a lot there, yes, but especially after one of the movie execs said that in "movie canon" coulson is dead I think it's clear they're separating the two and the helicarrier in AoU really is coming off as an ex ´machina
@@ZeeDrakon Yeah, it just bums me out. When infinity war was first announced way back when, the agents and characters from the Netflix shows were on the cast list. Would have loved to see a version like that, but at this point, marvel tv has nothing to do with the movie studio

@@ZeeDrakon It was Whedon who said that about Coulson, but he's not exactly wrong if one is only watching the movies, then as far the story is gonig he's dead, but we know he's alive if your watching the series
This was perfect. My ONLY problem throughout was that it wouldn't feel climactic an ending, but adding Civil War fixes that. This is now my headcanon ordering.
I always assumed that Civil War was part of Phase 2, it really does feel climatic imo. And to my knowledge it starts off phase 3 or doesn't conflict with whatever does start phase 3 so it works.
I guess they always want to neatly finish a phase with an avengers movie, but Civil War kind of is one.

I actually watched Iron Man 3 and Winter Soldier after Age of Ultron, so I can confirm that this works

No it doesn’t 🤦♂️
You have to watch agents of sheild to
Rook k Just like Kevin Feige, we don’t care AoS
who would tony be talking to in Iron man 3 since hulk left at the end of Age of ultron
@@jrdakid14 just put a different post-credit scene, it's not like that was an important part of the movie 😅
I also love that this adds more oomph to the Pepper and Tony romance. Like, half of what Tony does in IM3 is to win her back.
My biggest issue with this watch order is that it makes The Winter Soldier worse. The reveal about Hydra wasn't just big because it came from within SHIELD, but because everyone thought Hydra had been wiped out. Knowing that Hydra is still out there in some form weakens the amazing reveal in The Winter Soldier.
Also, I know you said you weren't talking about the TV shows, but Agents of Shield explains away your issues with Shield's presence in Age of Ultron. Shield is still very much an active (underground) organization. Coulson is the one who discovered where Loki's scepter was (info which he passed onto Maria Hill), and he also gave Fury access to Shield's last remaining helicarrier.
You know, I think I always took for granted that Civil War *was* in Phase 2, simply because in the lead up to Age of Ultron when we learned about Civil War being the next CA installment, the actors on social media made relentless jokes about why their characters might fight each other. Plus, AOU itself already establishes some fundamental disagreements between Tony and Steve that make the film feel like a Civil War pre-game show. So I definitely agree that it belongs there.
It’s not. It’s phase 3
This honestly makes way more sense then the existing order. Marvel needs to hire you dude
Marvek just needs to calm down and do a better job of planning ahead...actually, Disney in general needs to slow down just a bit and do some better planning with there films. Star wars, while I liked the first two movies has some very sloppy cohesion that could have been mitigated if Disney had a clearer long term vision.
No marvel doesnt need to hire a youtube to work on their movies. This is okay at best
Frantic Toast well it is significantly better then what marvel themselves made. Don’t get me wrong, I am a huge marvel fan boy, but even I can admit that age of Ultron just doesn’t work very well with the movies that came before it. They were able to cordinate their movies much better in phase 3. So they learned from their mistakes, but you gotta admit where they did stumble
Sir Knight Errant they are atleast better than the rise of sky walker.
This is a result of them being too worried about taking risks so deciding to return to a status quo. None of this moving around would be necessary if Age of Ultron was better thought out.
I always thought it was weird how IM3 ended the way it did, and Tony has suits again in AoU.
The worst thing is people blame that on IM3 (which us great), completely.missing the symbolism. I also don't think its AoU's complete fault either as if you take a minute to think about it, his motivations do track. But, it is a bit jarring as there is no time to mull it over or at least a scene to drill down what the end of IM3 meant.
@Sir Knight Errant Agreed. The only true flaws of both: in AOU, there wasn't enough James Spader; in IM3, there wasn't enough Sam Rockwell :P (Oh! You could replace IM3's post credits scene with the Hail to the King one-shot!)
It’s only weird with the intro battle tho which you can easily rationalise as “well I mean it was important” the main reason he creates ultron and the drones is to create the world where the avengers aren’t needed, where he doesn’t have to be iron man so he can be with pepper, but when that doesn’t work with ultron going rogue he has to deal with that issue himself as he’s responsible for it, after that he continues being iron man leading to the issues between pepper and tony in civil war because he did choose to continue being iron man as well as why he’s so open to the accords because he still feels the weight of ultron
You'll also have to get rid of literally EVERY reference to the Avengers fighting Hydra in the first part of Av2 -- not just one throwaway line. In fact you have no clear reason why they're fighting these people at all, other than being a paramilitary group who got hold of Loki's scepter, but how the heck did that even happen? (Edited to add: I do like the idea in principle tho.)
I actually always found the fact the Avengers were there odd anyway. Yeah, they were residual Hydra, but I never felt that they seemed to present an Avengers level threat.
A Simple fix, hydra is known to still be around but the default assumption is that they are a small threat that has no real relevance till we learn that they are literally within shield itself...the paramilitary group is a red herring.
They are there due to events that happened on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. since Joss Whedon was the executive producer for the show and since at the time they were still attempting to do cross production with the movies influencing the show.
@gerizzyYMcrew true. I just posted that to help explain why the Avengers and not S.H.I.E.L.D. was at Barron Von Strucker's hideout. AoS basically was supplemental material for Phase 2 since just about every movie affected the show.
@@VolvoxSocks They were looking for the Scepter that contained the mind stone.
If I may add a new post-credit scene for Winter Soldier:
We cut back to Sam’s veteran’s of war meeting, a woman walks in. Sam asks who she is, she replies “a victim of war, who would appreciate your help.” Camera pans up, it’s Wanda Maximoff!
Don't even pan up. Keep the camera on him, and we see him recognise her voice, and slowly smile. Since he'd know of her from AoU
@@tigamaki1345 in Nando's version sam doesn't appear in age of ultron

That's why i said know of, not know ^^
Filthy Neutral He could still appear I mean it’s a Stark party, so people can come from all over
I LOVE this reworking of the phase, everything makes SO MUCH MORE SENSE!!! I think someone who knows how to edit should try to make the little changes Nando explains: dialogue and Falcon cameo in Ultron, Friday re-dub for Iron Man 3 (which might not even be possible, but idk), stuff like that. Even without them though, this is my new headcanon for the MCU.
Cinemawins said something that I think explains the ending of iron man 3 the best. The clean slate wasn't him ending iron man, but him putting other things in his life, like pepper. I just think he was turning a new leaf
To be fair, I think the idea is that Tony is trying to step away from being Iron Man after 3, dropping the idea of these suits he controls for an AI that controls them without his input; but he has to step back into the suit until Ultron is ready, and then full-time because Ultron didn't pan out. Kinda like his plan for an Iron Man team in the anime that he has to drop at the end of episode 1.
the issue is winter soldier directly sets up Avengers 2. The whole reason the avengers reunite is that Shield falls.
Another issue is that we see Hulk leaving earth in a quinjet by the end of Ultron while the end credit scene in Iron Man 3 showed Tony talking to Bruce.
The Iron Man 3 ending contradicts with Bruce and Hulk's appearances in Thor: Ragnarok because how can they still be on earth if they're on Sakarr battling Thor?
@@loudboy317 He said that scene wouldnt exist, did you watch the vídeo?
@@pretendtheresaname9213
I did watch the video but he's wrong to assume that scene wouldn't exist because in Iron Man 3, JARVIS is still a computer program while in Age of Ultron, he's downloaded into Vision's body. That is another reason why Iron Man 3 shouldn't be placed after Age of Ultron.
@@loudboy317 Which he also addressed, did you watch the video? It seems like you didn't watch the video despite saying you did.
@@gerrya2133
I did watch the whole video. His idea of phase 2 still wouldn't work.
Phase 2 was supposed to bring every character to their lowest point, leading up to Civil War. This new order perfectly encapsulates that
No, instead it ruins the logical order of events that leads to the events of civil war.
Another thing that this helps with is that no one ever points out that Ultron and Project Insight are almost exactly the same plan.
I would actually move Ant-Man to before Civil War, after Iron Man 3 and I would likewise move the end credit scene of the Avengers Assembling to the end of Winter Soldier.
First, Falcon must show up in the movie as it explains how Ant-Man joins the Avengers.
Second, Ant-Man specifically raids Avengers HQ, not SHIELD. It reflects that while Cap's intentions are noble, he lacks the resources necessary to run the Avengers as a global force and that leads to the problems seen in Civil War.
And third, speaking of Civil War, this movie would directly lead into that movie, considering the post-credit scene has Falcon seeking Scott out, presumably because of the events of Civil War's first half.
Thats funny and right because Antman 2 lead directly into Avengers Endgame, sounds fair that Ant man 1 lead to the epic final too
Question: what would be the ending to Ultron then?
This means that there is only 1 movie standing between two Avengers which is really weird
James-Andrew Sarmiento Why is it really weird?
4:13 “Age of Ultron makes two decisions that I really do not agree with. The first is-“

@@DParkerNunya
I think Endgame missed a perfect opportunity to bring Quicksilver back the way they brought back Gamora.

@@bloocheeseformaboi881
Too bad Loki isn't one of those people who stays dead.
Age of ultron always felt like the iron man 2 of the avengers. I like iron man 2 but it spent too much of its time setting up future movies. Ultron felt important because of what it set up

Brad Aiello it’s because it spends what at first felt like an out of place story segment in an already overcrowded movie.

This absolutely has to be one of if not the best videos you’ve made Nando. Me and my ma love these and I know she’ll love this one
These movies will be RE-ORGANISED into the First! Nando! Order!
I saw it and I clapped!!
Long time follower, this is still my favorite video you have made. The point about Tony hanging up the suits and it being a big deal in Civil War is such a genius idea I wish was canon.
Tony never stopped being iron man. Iron man 3 ended with tony saying that he is still iron man. He blew up the suits because they represented his need for control that he lost when he went through that wormhole. That’s why each one is built for a different purpose with different abilities, they represent an attack he hadn’t expected, an occasion he felt he was unprepared for. A manifestation of his need for some form of control. Blowing up the suits wasn’t him giving up on iron man, it was him giving up on control and responding to threats out of fear. It’s called clean slate protocol because it’s a new start for him to be better, which he tried to do through the use of the drones to protect citizens and the creation of Ultron to protect the earth. Creating the drones wasn’t undoing the end of iron man 3. The only problem I had with this video was your reasoning for why iron man 3 should go after age of ultron. Everything else seems fine though
Start of video: Why change the movies, why not change the order
End of video: Makes more changes to the movies than would have had to the first time around.
😂 jk it’s a gr8 video and I get your points. Personally the release order still works for me but I totally get it.
I just thought of tag lines for the boxes of these movies based on "The Nandorder". Phase one: Assembled, Phase two: Disassembled, Phase three: Reassembled
Another I love about the order is we didn't really get to see the Avengers spend time as a team in Avengers Tower, as soon as they were shown in AOU, that same time had them move out from there to Avengers compound which was being run by SHIELD not Tony Stark. So to move from AOU into Winter Soldier makes a lot of sense. You could even swap the last two movies in the Nando order to have Ant-Man be the last movie since the post-credits scene alludes to Civil War to make it seem a more organic transition
I never saw the appearance of shield as weird or out of place in AoU, maybe because in agents of shield we were shown that shield wasn’t completely dismantled, we see that like half the agents were actually from hydra but there’s a portion of shield still functioning

100% agreed, not sure why people dont understand that
Exactly
The Clean Slate Protocol is just that, a clean slate.
Tony wanted to start over his work with Iron Man with a different mentality.
So him having Iron Man suits in Age of Ultron isn't really a problem, the problem is that the PTSD he struggled with in that movie just disappeared in AoU, which makes it feel very fake, and thus, It is insulting to those who struggle with PTSD in real life.
I'm in the middle of an MCU rewatch and honestly this really works for me. I have been pushing Civil War because it really didnt feel like a follow-up to Ultron.
Ultron could use the rework. A lot of the characters have 1 liners that are funny, but not organic to how that character would act in the moment. Although I would miss the Falcon cameos, but I just love Falcon.
If that's the case, Age of Ultron should drop the entire "Hydra" part since Hydra is to be revealed working in the Winter Soldier, which is set after Age of Ultron in this new order.
A comment above proposed this, but some rewriting could be involved wherein Hydra is still around after The First Avenger but isn't a particularly major threat, but that the paramilitary organization was a red herring to conceal the true nature of Hydra, lurking within Shield.
@@DevNode27 But that doesn't explain how they had Loki's scepter there when that was last seen in the Avengers with Shield.
@@DevNode27 hmm okay that does kind of work, I just think it still takes away from the impact that not only has SHIELD been compromised but the *how* as well. Everyone in-universe thought Hydra was gone, which makes their return in TWS even more sinister.

Agents of SHIELD Season 2 actually explains where the Helicarrier in the end of Age of Ultron comes from
yeah but the general audience probably doesn't watch agents of shield and only watches the movies without any regard to what happens in the shows. the movies and shows tend to exist as separate properties anyway, so it's better to have a cohesive movie phase than to force a movie audience watch the shows to understand
You shouldn’t need to watch 2 series of a show that has a separate continuity to understand the MCU.
@@musicalbrit3465 except during the time of Agents of Shield season 2, A.O.S was apart of the MCU Timeline and continuity and still is lol. The Only time it when it was out of the timeline was when it went into the future but it came back to the timeline during the last episode lol.

@@musicalbrit3465 AOS is apart of the MCU as well as Agent Carter. Coulson team was the reason why the Rogue Avengers was able live off the books as long as they did until IW. The Only time you can say that AOS wasn't apart is when they start time-traveling into the future but that Timeline is pretty much Dead and gone by the end of Season 6 I think and they are back into the MCU Canon by the end of the last season.
The problem here is the whole reason they are hunting down hydra at the beginning is because of learning they are still active in winter soldier though.
One huge flaw with all of this. The SHIELD stuff in Age of Ultron makes sense because it connects to the show Agents of SHIELD. In the show, Shield goes underground after the events of Winter Soldier with a skeleton crew and is run by a resurrected Phil Coulson. Coulson regularly communicates with Fury and Maria Hill, passing along the intel about the location of Strucker. And more importantly, restoring a carrier for use in Sokovia.
I love AoS as much as you, but for someone JUST watching the films, they don’t KNOW the background of what’s happening. AoS was basically IGNORED around Ultron.
Just rewrite the line about "A few friends took her out of mothballs" to something like "You can thank agent Coulson for the Carrier!" And have Coulson and his team on the Carrier.
Dude…not only does no one watch that but it isn’t considered canon by Kevin Fiege. All Agents of Shield build off of Avengers stuff cause they need to make money
@@willlamoureux1690 Please don't spread misinformation. Kevin Feige has never said anything of the sort.

I also like the idea of Thor 2, GotG, then Avengers 2 because it introduces the Infinity Stones in a more organic way, especially following Avengers 1 where we got the Tesseract. You could honestly probably move the Thanos post-credits scene from Avengers 2 to GotG Volume 2, since by that point, we’ve already seen 5 of the 6 stones.

It's kind of crazy to see this fit together so well. You nailed the corrections, and everyone's character development feels much more fluid and natural. Well done!
You’d have to drastically change all of those movies
Creates an unforeseen issue with Pepper Potts. If Iron Man 3 and Civil War are adjacent it begs the question what happened to Tony and Pepper that split them up? Tony would mention in Civil War that Ultron created tension but that makes no sense if they were happy together at the end of IM3 and IM3 is set after AoU.
IMO: In the Winter Soldier, it’s just revealed that hydra survived in like one third of shield. The whole thing isn’t taken down yet. So, in Ultron, Ultron takes over project Insight as it launches, with an awesome battle with all the Avengers spanning three helicarriers.
Well in this timeline, Zola is still alive as an AI so it's likely he resisted Ultron.

@@harrylane4 I think it works well- ant man 2 happens pretty much alongside infinity war, and I love how the lighthearted tone of the movie is completely contrasted with its end credit scene- for most of the people living on the MCU earth, they didn’t have any clue about the snap until it happened. People were probably just messing around and having fun one minute and then the next the people they were laughing with have literally turned to dust. It’s the juxtaposition that’s truly horrifying.
Interesting idea but it creates more problems than it solves. It’s easier just to imagine Tony changed his mind about the suits and that’s why he and Pepper are taking a break. It’s also easier to think Fury took the helicarriers out of mothballs for insidious Fury-like reasons that he didn’t bother telling the Avengers about, i.e. S.W.O.R.D.
The Helicarrier thing actually was explained in the Agents of SHIELD series.

Agents of Shield explains the helicarriers in an expertly done way. I thought you had seen the show...and if not, do it man!!
I always thought that the one helicarrier you see in Age of Ultron is the original from the 1st Avengers film; they put it in storage when they were building the Insight carriers, as it wasn't needed anymore.
You are a writing Genius! Someone hire this man!
Nando V Movies: Phase 2 Marvel films' order is wrong
Me : *Laughs in DCEU*
Except that Iron Man 3 specifically deals with Tony's post Avengers 1 PTSD. And Jarvis is in it, who is destroyed in AoU. And in AoU Tony states that he & Potts were on a break, which isn't addressed then until Civil War, so them together in IM3 inbetween that would have no explanation. And his armour version stated in IM3 is 42, but in AoU it's 46. And there's a Fury line in AoU that the helicarrier was the last one left "pulled out of mothballs", which wouldn't be the case if before Winter Soldier...
14:43 Avengers: Age of Ultron should have been called "Avengers: Reassembling The Avengers To Do Another Avengers".
This is so much better narratively speaking, i hope this order gets some mainstream recognition and somebody make tiny changes all around.
4:41 The Helicarrier is from the show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. You have to watch its first two seasons also to get the full picture.
5:47 Tony never stopped being Iron Man at the end of Iron Man 3. The movie ends with him collecting the remaining parts of his destroyed suits, and uttering the words "I Am Iron Man".
Thank you. I’m like, he’s forgetting tony never retired. Tony doesn’t actually retire til endgame before the time heist
The Helicarrier comes from Coulson and was actually an inciting event for the SHIELD Civil War in "Agents of SHIELD"...
But because Kevin Feige and Marvel didn't give a f$?k about connecting the two connect in any f&cking way... This is never shown in the movies.
UA-camr: *makes video about Age of Ultron w/o mentioning Agent's of S.H.I.E.L.D.*
AoS fans: "Umm, actually..."
Didn't it come back between films on the show? That's what I recall.
Who watches Agents of Shield?
Me I do.
And this is the trouble of running a TV show that people MAY not realize actually ties into the bigger feature films.
@@comixproviderftw_02 A lot of people
I love this idea however there's too many lil changes that does ruin the continuity....
I know, it adds more problems than it fixes so its pointless
Among the opening lines of Age of Ultron: "We've been after this thing since SHIELD collapsed"
Nando viewer who believed him about the right order: "Wait, what?"
The surprise helicarrier is actually explained in Agents of SHIELD.
Thank you for pointing this out
Which season?
Pef S season 2. Its referred to as the Theta Protocol.
@@lestertjester4140 Thanks! I was just wondering how far I was. I'm still in the first half of season 2.
Yeah but the problem with that is wile everyone that watched Agents also watched the movies but not everyone that watched the movies watched agents. As much as I love Agents of SHIELD the helicarrier should have been explained somehow in the movie and not in the show.
I disagree. Iron Man 3 perfectly sets up Tony and his headspace for AOU, The Winter Soldier also perfectly leads Cap into AOU, and Thor Dark World does as well. In Iron Man 3, Tony said he was “trimming down” the Iron Man thing, in other words NOT retiring! Age of Ultron also starts by the Avengers cleaning up Hydra after TWS so that would not only take away an entire opening action sequence that connects beautifully to TWS, but it would also keep hydra out of the picture which would mean that you would have to do MAJOR reconstruction to AOU since hydra had the scepter. Also, shield is still shut down in AOU, they literally say so early on in the film. Just because Fury had access to an old helicarrier doesn’t mean shield is still operational.
Plus, in regards to your AOU opinion, Age of Ultron has better character development than the first Avengers! Less like caricatures and more like relatable humans.
Marvel should release a 25 hour version where it all happens in order regardless of film.
I’d buy that!
Honestly, this is so functional that I'm surprised it wasn't the intended order.
I’ve always thought that Ultron should’ve been saved up to be used as the new Thanos who served to challenge the new and old heroes in a different way than the Mad Titan.
I think the second avengers film should’ve been a team of villains that survived the solo movies coming back with a plan to punish the avengers. You don’t need to bring in Wanda or Pietro either, I’ll explain, so perhaps at the end in a PCS you can show them training with their powers.
My idea is that you have Baron Strucker (being an actual character) be someone who knows of the villain team and is left alive for the 3rd Cap film.
And then the actual team is The Living Laser (its Obadiah Stane), Crossbones (have a different design for him so he’s not darth vader melted, alter his TWS credit scene), some kind of BW or Hawkeye villain that we’ve not seen for something different, and finally Samuel Sterns.
Sterns replaces the need for Wanda with his own powers.
For that part about Star Wars at the beginning I disagree. It's not Luke's story, it's Anakin's. George Lucas himself said it.
I'm so stoked to hear about the machete order! I've always taken a firm pro "toss Episode I directly out the window" stance!
So we're just gonna ignore the gem that is Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
As someone who hasn't watch the MCU movies but has seen AoS I was wondering what his new order would mean for the show.
@@lemurwrench6344 you haven't watched MCU movies, but have seen the show?? Wow, you really are in the minority, but also my new favourite person 😀 AoS is my favorite part of the whole MCU! So personally, I'd like to watch the (phase 2) movies in telecast order, if only for the two biggest crossovers - CA:WS and AoU are in that order
@aydooknow I can't argue with you coz I can't be objective about AoS. Would just like to point out I didn't say it is the most premier series, I said it was my most favourite part. Also, since Carter crossed over with AoS, and Jarvis ended up in Endgame, AoS is cannon unless something specific happens that goes against it. The snap? I'll reserve my opinion till the end of Season 7
I really like this placement for IM3. After Ultron’s failure, Tony goes back to the Iron Man: it’s the only thing he’s seen as something he did right.
"I'll explain why guardians goes before AoU" *never explains it*. It's because of the infinity stones and Thor's quest at the end of AoU isn't it.
Now this is my headcanon order. As you said, you just need to imagine some lines being different and don't watch 1 post-credit scene.
Although, in your version of Iron-Man 3, Tony could just be using a different AI with a Jarvis text-to-speech over it.
Oh yeah, when I first saw the first two Avengers movies, I wasn't really aware of the non-Iron Man movies, so I just accepted what I was seeing. This sort of brings that back.
Age of Ultron is terrible but re: Tony’s opening contradicting the end of Iron Man 3 - an addict making some grand gesture and then relapsing almost immediately checks out way more than loads of other MCU decisions.
Not saying that was a conscious choice (of course it just happens because Iron Man gotta Iron Man), but for the character it totally checks out.
I kinda wish they'd addressed it more, but you're right, it does check out, ESPECIALLY since in Civil War, Pepper and Tony are "on a break", implying she left him thanks to said relapse happening. Having her go on a break from him after the end of Iron Man 3 would probably make her look really bad
@@davidcosloff but....he's not? In Civil War, Pepper and Tony were "on a break". They seemingly only reconnected between Civil War and Infinity War (She likely returned when she heard what happened to Rhodey and wanted to support Tony)
No it isn’t! Age of Ultron is great!
I'm sure I'm not the first person to say this, but the reason the helicarrier in Age of Ultron seems to come out of nowhere is because it's a tie in to Agents of Shield (something I wish the MCU kept doing afterwards). Now that Agents of Shield is considered (mostly) non-canon, it seems weird, but if you watch AoS in sync with the movies, it gives some pay off for an arc in that show that would otherwise go nowhere
It is canon.
So you're saying for your version of this to work we have to ignore details, pretend characters aren't who they are and we have to dismiss lines characters say. It's a swing and a miss for me. If you're telling me to ignore characters and dialogue in order for your order to make sense then it fails
Yeah, I agree. Machete order works because you don't have to do any of that for the story of Star Wars to work if you watch the movies in that order, since unlike here you aren't actually changing when in the overall timeline the movies take place. I usually agree with Nando's videos, and I do think he has a point that it would have made Phase 2 better if the movies were actually done in that order, but I think he really dropped the ball here by suggesting we actually watch the videos in said order and ignore everything that doesn't fit.
Isn't the helicarrier the same one from the first Avengers? Fury quotes it being a little dusty but still flies well. Makes sense to still exist and not be one of the 3 in Winter Soldier that were destroyed
If you watch them in the order you present, the storyline in Age of Ultron doesn't make sense. The only reason they go after the staff is because the leaking of Hydra files reveals all their bases and hideouts, including the location of the staff
Dude, the excitement when i saw this is real
I have my own order when it comes to the first 6, I've never tried it, but it goes like this. 1, 2 (getting to know Anakin), 4, 5, (we see Luke in the future find out about his Father, and then we find that the hero Anakin is the evil villian), 3, we now find how the hero from 1 and 2 became the villian from 4 and 5) rounding out with 6 (the overall redemption).
I always felt that Phase 2 was a bit of a mess. Much as I like Civil War, it shoulda been an Avengers film instead of a Captain America film. Captain America 3 shoulda been based on the Nomad story from the comics. Cap witnesses a depressed U.S. President commit suicide, shaking his faith in America. He tries to cut ties to the government but they own the name Captain America so he ditches the identity to become Nomad. But then Red Skull returns and kills a kid wearing a Cap costume, forcing him to reclaim his mantle. Also Age of Ultron & Civil War shoulda been the same film, Ultron manipulates the Civil War to distract the Avengers from his scheme.
No
Your channel became one of my favorites so quickly! This is GENIUS! can't wait for the next video
Nando v movies: The phase 2 of MCU is in the wrong order.
Kevin Fiege: Get this man a DISNEY+ subscribtion.
😂😂😂😂😂
I’ve never watched iron man 3 and honestly it felt unimportant to the rest of the movies for this same reason. Glad this new order gives it importance
@William Clay in age of Ultron there was no change to his arc and then you kind of get pieces here and there in other movies that actually move it forward
Machete order can be done.
This.... too much "pretending", "ignoring" and basically making a whole new inconsistent narrative just to fit a couple of moments better.
I think I'll just watch the movie in release order and hate Age of Ultron forever as always.
Agreed what he says messes up way more than it fixes, and I dont think he understands the meaing of some of the endings
Your pre-Endgame nitpicks episode is still the all-time classic.
From one side: what you say makes sense (especially having ultron before winter soldat), but on the other, we lack that fine thread that connects movies the way you'd suggest in form of mentions or snippets of dialogue. I'd still rather watch it the way it was made I guess...
Dear Movie Studios,
Please start consulting Nando.
Thank you.
