The Quiz
The manual gives one path through the universe. This gives you yours. Answer five quick questions and we will tell you which films you actually have to watch before Avengers: Doomsday, calibrated to your time, taste, and tolerance for homework.
You will get one of three paths:
- The Quickstart: about 13 hours, the essentials only
- The Prep Manual: about 31 hours, the full Doomsday Spine
- The Deep Dive: about 55 hours, the spine plus extra credit
No email signup. No backend. No data leaves your browser. Just five questions and your custom watch list.
How much of the MCU have you actually seen?
Honest answer. No judgment. The manual is anti-gatekeeping.
How much time can you actually commit per week?
Be honest about your life, not the version of yourself you wish you were.
What do you actually want from Doomsday?
Pick the one that sounds most like you. Not the most impressive one.
How do you feel about homework before a movie?
There are no wrong answers here. Just different answers.
Last one. Who are you really doing this for?
The answer shapes your path more than you think.

The quiz is a thought experiment, not a verdict. I wrote five questions I hoped would surface something honest about how you actually watch, not how you think you should be watching. The paths are real lists I'd stand behind. The Quickstart is what I'd suggest to a friend with an hour a week. The Prep Manual is what I recommend to most people. And the Deep Dive is for the friends who text me in October asking what to rewatch for the third time, because I have them too.
If your result surprises you, take it again with different answers, or pick a different path entirely. You're the one settling in for the movie in December, so trust yourself.
