The Marvel Cinematic Universe is now becoming world-class entertainment because of the fantastic storyline of each of their movies and the phenomenal films that they produce. I remembered back in 2010 when the most iconic Marvel movie was still Iron Man. Still, now, with all the advanced technology that we have and the continuous flow of Marvel’s storyline, we already have witnessed the end game of the avengers in high-definition clips with fantastic action scenes.
But there are those people who started joining the MCU community right after watching the Avengers of 2012. After watching the Avengers’ end game, they became fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They planned on having a movie marathon of all the Marvel movies to understand the whole story of Marvel characters.
