Welcome to ReadThingsRight, a website designed to help you navigate the complex world of interconnected universes. With some of these universes as massive as they are, a good starting point and viewing sequence isn't always simple to find. This website is here to try and determine to perfect order for the best audience experience, prioritizing story and cohesive flow over chronological order or release order. I have broken my orders down into ones based on comic books, ones based on movies, and ones based on television shows, all of which generally shoot for the same goals. So if you're stuck on how to read or watch something, here's how to ReadThingsRight.
Each reading and viewing guide is ranked on 3 scales, each from 0 to 5. Quality is how good I think the story is on average. Cohesion is how much the story makes sense, even when put into it's best possible order; sometimes things are just really disconnected until the crossover. Accessibility is how accessible the story is for newcomers, assuming they have no pop culture knowledge of the characters.
Godzilla got a trilogy of anime movies in 2017 that are very very sci-fi. This Godzilla is nothing like we've seen before, although the apocalyptic horror vibes draw from Shin Godzilla. The continuity in this era is simple, although the movie titles are anything but. A unique take on Godzilla, Mechagodzilla, and King Ghidorah that doesn't always hit it out of the park.
Featured Order:
Following Inferno, the X-Men books stretched outwards towards the end of Chris Claremont's run in a tangled mess
of ongoing plots that basically lasts until the run is over, with almost no good end points. Plus, Simonson would
take her leave from her books as Jim Lee, Robert Liefeld, Fabian Nicieza, and Whilce Portacio began to take over,
taking the books in their own direction that is more reminiscent of the later 1990s X-Men than the rest of Claremont's
and Simonson's run. This era would also increase the amount of crossovers, with characters regularly guest-starring in
each other's books and crossovers happening twice a year. By this era's end, Claremont's massive run would be over and
the tangled disasterpiece that is the 1990s will have been ushered in.
Featured Order:
Starting in 2014, Legendary Pictures released a standalone series of Godzilla and King Kong films that culminated with
Godzilla vs Kong. These movies ignore all previous Godzilla and King Kong films to create their own self-contained
continuity. This watch order focuses on the films and ignores the supplementary material to create a streamlined experience,
and is also conveniently in release order. Mild spoilers for the Monsterverse.
Featured Order:
The beloved Attack on Titan anime can be watched normally with no issue, but the series also comes with a few extra
episodes called OVAs that take place in between its four seasons and add some extra depth to the characters. This
watch order is going to focus on the location of the OVAs within the show, based on what makes for the best story.
