So, as I already stated, I have created an 18 hour cut of the MCU. Now I’m not talking about just putting them in the order in which they were released, nor am I talking about the first thing on it is Captain America TFA. What I did was put them in order in which they happened; scene by scene. I found this website a while back where someone had put together a timeline of the MCU starting with the attack of the dark elves in TDW, all the way up to CA: TWS (hasn’t been updated with GOTG yet).
www.tiki-toki.com/timeline/entry/5395/A-Marvel-Cinematic-Universe-Timeline/
So what I did was I followed this timeline very closely and cut up the first 9 MCU movies and their respective post credits scenes and one-shots, and compiled it into one large movie. Now, user CPBuff22 posted an editorial a few days ago about the chronological viewing of the MCU, and my first comment on this site went to that editorial, sharing that I had made this cut. I’m sure not everyone saw that comment by some no name member of this site so I wanted to make an editorial myself to tell everyone…
The mega cut is 18 hours long, 31 GB in size, and in .mp4 format. For an example of how the movie is put together:
· It starts out with the T: TDW intro, the followed by the Thor 1 intro
· Then cuts to the entire 1940’s portion of CA: TFA
· After that is the Agent Carter One Shot
· 1999 portion of IM3
· The cut to IM1
· After IM1, as you can see in the timeline, it is a mixture of IM2, TIH, and Thor 1 including “A Funny thing Happened One Shot”
In the other editorial I had commented on, someone stated how the events of TIH should be one of the last things to happen before the Avengers… so this is what happens right before
· Banner/Betty leaving the hotel room
· Loki bringing the frost giants to Asgard, Thor & Loki fight on the bridge, end of Thor with him taking to Heimdall
· Army / General Ross trying to find Banner/Bbetty while those 2 are looking for Samuel Sterns, ALL the way till the Hulk defeats the Abomination and leaves NY
· Thor post credit scene with Dr. Selvig & Loki
· Cut to Betty looking out near the Statue of Liberty, while Banner is in British Columbia; "0 days without incident"
· The Consultant one shot / Hulk post cred scene cut together
· SHIELD finding Cap & Cap waking up
After that, the Avengers starts, and IM3, Thor 2 & CA: TWS all happen chronologically, including All Hail the King, and all post credits scenes. Of course once GOTG becomes available I will add it, along with EVENTUALLY Age of Ultron, Ant-Man, Dr. Strange, etc.
I made this article just to tell my fellow CBM nerds that an MCU mega cut is out there, and I want to share it with you. Only thing is, I don’t know how. I don’t know what site I should upload it to / make it available for download… this is something every hard core MCU fan should have.
So if you guys of CBM.com have any comments, questions, concerns, or input I would LOVE to hear it!
BTW sorry if the grammar / structure is poor, I know how a lot of people are picky about that! Thanks for reading!
