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 determines how good 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.
Studio Trigger released a soft reboot of classic giant robot series Gridman in 2018, called SSSS.Gridman. Following it's success, they released a mostly unrelated spin-off called SSSS.Dynazenon, focusing on a new cast of characters and a new robot as they battle new kaiju. Then, tying the two shows together is a film called Gridman Universe that brings together all the plot elements from the two shows for a character-driven, action-packed finale.

The Silver Surfer is one of Marvel's most prolific cosmic heroes, debuting in the pages of Fantastic Four as the Herald of
Galactus. He would quickly be trapped on Earth, and became a recurring character until he finally received his own solo
series in 1968. While none of these arcs are strictly connected, they all follow the Surfer as he adapts to being trapped
on Earth and contends with the brutality and insanity of humanity. Minor spoilers for Silver Surfer stories from the 1960s

Based on a novel by Pierre Boulle and adapted by Arthur P Jacobs, The Planet of the Apes sees astronaut Taylor, played by
Charlton Heston, land on a planet run by intelligent apes. From there, four sequels were filmed, exploring the future and
past of the planet. Each film mostly gets a new cast and crew, with only some carryover between films. What this means is
that each film is pretty different, but they are tied together by their themes and overarching exploration of the Planet
of Apes.

Doctor Who's modern iteration has ran for so long that it's almost two separate shows. Having just finish its 60th
Anniversary specials, Doctor Who starts fresh with Season 14, written by Russell T Davies and starring Ncuti Gatwa
as the Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson as his companion, Ruby Sunday. This is a great place to get started if
you're getting into Doctor Who and want to watch the newest stuff.
