...you're mixing these up. You don't need to see Infinity War to enjoy GotG.

Also, Infinity War is the big event, just like the comics having big events. You don't need to see/read the stories leading up to it if you don't want to, but it will enhance the experience if you do.




That's not the movie's fault though as the movie still gave great character moments for every character. Plus, if you don't know who the characters are at all you were born before 1962 and never picked up a single comic or watched a single cartoon ever.



Again though, they enhanced your experience. The only movies you needed to watch before Civil War were The First Avenger and The Winter Soldier because that is where it all started, Bucky's resurrection occured and where Cap's distrust of corporations/committees making the decisions of what he can and can not do came from.

I don't think you quite get it honestly. Like Matrixbeast said, you'd have no clue who the other characters are regardless, some minor, but some major. Sure, having watched the previous movies will enhance your experience, but that works both ways, if you haven't seen the other movies, you'll go "Who the fuck is this?" constantly and "What the fuck is Sokovia? Winter Soldier?" etc., which in turn, makes it a less enjoyable experience

I was willing to put that on poor wording, but what I meant was that to enjoy and understand Infinity War, you'd need to have seen GotG. Hell, Thor's Mjolnir looks a lot different and even Thor fans are confused due to that most likely being something introduced in Ragnarok. The less questions your audience has to ask, the better.

If anything, shouldn't the fact Civil War is 'the big event' mean that it NEEDS you to know about the movies beforehand? My sister for example did enjoy the movie, but she had no clue about who everyone was other than Steve Rogers. Everyone else I know who saw the movie agreed it's amazing, but it's something moreso for the fans who've been keeping up rather than the average joe or jill

I meant those specific incarnations of the characters, I never saw anything of Captain America outside an episode of 90's Spiderman I couldn't remember well at the time and thought the concept of him alone was dumb. Hell, Ant-Man is a lot different than his traditional incarnations, is he not?
