What Order To Watch The Spider Man Movies
So, you want to watch Spider-Man? Excellent choice! But wait, there are HOW many movies? Don't panic! I'm here to help you navigate the web of Spider-Man films.
Everyone has an opinion on the "right" order. Chronological? Release date? My way is... different. Buckle up, web-heads!
The "Just Watch and Enjoy" Order (My Slightly Unhinged Opinion)
Forget the complex timelines and multiversal shenanigans. Let's start with the fun stuff.
Must Read
Phase 1: The Nostalgia Trip
First, dive into the Sam Raimi trilogy. Yes, even Spider-Man 3. It's a beautiful, chaotic mess.
Enjoy Tobey Maguire's awkward charm and iconic moments. Prepare for some truly meme-worthy scenes.
Then, move on to The Amazing Spider-Man. Watch Andrew Garfield as a cool, skateboarding Spidey.
It's okay if you have a soft spot for this one. Even if the Lizard looks a little...Lizard-y.
Phase 2: MCU Immersion
Now, get ready for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This is where things get connected.
Start with Captain America: Civil War. Tom Holland's first appearance as Spider-Man is gold.
After that, watch Spider-Man: Homecoming. He's just a kid figuring things out, and it's hilarious.
Phase 3: Emotional Rollercoaster
Okay, time for the tissues. Spider-Man: Far From Home is next. Prepare for illusions and teen angst.
Then, get ready for the big one: Spider-Man: No Way Home. Seriously, keep those tissues handy.
It's a love letter to all things Spider-Man. A celebration of every era.
Phase 4: Animated Awesomeness
Don't forget the animated masterpiece: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. It's visually stunning and surprisingly emotional.
Miles Morales is the Spider-Man we all need. Plus, Spider-Ham!
Follow it with Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. The animation is even more incredible. Cliffhangers galore!
Why This Order is "Perfect" (According to Me)
This order allows you to appreciate each Spider-Man individually. You get the nostalgia, the MCU connection, and the animated brilliance. All in good time.
It avoids overwhelming you with multiverse stuff right away. We build to it!
Besides, who decided release order was the only way? Live a little! Break the rules!
The Ones We... Skip (Maybe)
Okay, maybe skip The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Unless you're a huge Andrew Garfield fan. Then, indulge.
Or, if you are a completionist, watch it! Just don't say I didn't warn you about the Green Goblin design.
Also, feel free to insert the Venom movies wherever. They're...adjacent.
Final Thoughts
Ultimately, the best order is the one you enjoy the most. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
So grab some popcorn, settle in, and get ready for a web-slinging adventure. Just have fun!
And remember: with great power, comes great movie-watching responsibility. Enjoy!
