Watching the Marvel Universe (Movies + Agents of SHIELD)

A friend of mine recently recommended that I watch Agents of SHIELD, which is currently available on Netflix.  I decided to check it out, but I realized there are still several Marvel movies that I haven't seen because let's be honest, there are just so many to keep track of.

In preparation of re-watching the Marvel Movies + Agents of SHIELD, I researched online all the movies and episodes and their viewing order.  In the process, I discovered many sites recommending to watch the movies and shows in either by order of release or by the Marvel universe's chronological order.  To me, it didn't make too much sense to watch the movies in chronological order, since everyone else would have watched them in order of release date.  So I compiled an order that bases the movies by their release and episodes of Agents of SHIELD sprinkled into the Marvel movie timeline.

*Phew*.  Now that the ordering is done, I can finally just focus on watching.  So far I'm at the end of Season 3 for Agents of SHIELD and I'm loving the show.
