In 'preparation' to seeing Guardians of the Galaxy (be it in the cinema or later on DVD), my wife and I decided to do a complete run of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films, shorts and possibly the TV series in chronological order.

Thanks to shieldtv.net for the input! I've taken the liberty to watch 'A Funny Thing'/'Thor' before 'The Incredible Hulk'/'The Consultant' instead. That makes the full list as follows:

- Captain America: The First Avenger
- Agent Carter (Marvel One-Shot)
- Iron Man
- Iron Man 2
- A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer (Marvel One-Shot)
- Thor
- The Incredible Hulk
- The Consultant (Marvel One-Shot)
- The Avengers
- Item 47 (Marvel One-Shot)
- Iron Man 3
- All Hail the King (Marvel One-Shot)
- Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episodes 1:01 - 1:07
- Thor: The Dark World
- Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episodes 1:08 - 1:16
- Captain America: The Winter Soldier
- Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episodes 1:17 - 1:22
- Guardians of the Galaxy
