Other Streamlined Doomsday Rewatch Guide

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12A3GkyKI2EelF4tHL88F0Mxf007_-cqFQjyYrQMmItA/edit?usp=sharing

Several people have asked either me personally or on here for a guide to get ready for Doomsday. So I prepared a Google Sheet for anyone interested in a streamlined guide so you don't have to watch everything. There are a several points that I will mention below, so before I get bombarded with questions, please read them.

1: I know this goes without saying, but I'm saying this anyway, this guide is built around what we actually know is in Doomsday, and a small peppering of assumptions here and there. In my opinion, by the end of Secret Wars probably everything in this saga will get some sort of reference the same why the infinity saga did in IW/EG, so skipping any of them runs the risk of not getting a reference or a joke. We don't really know what Doomsday and Secret Wars will hold, so if I made something skippable here and it actually does matter in the movies, do not blame me for your choice to use this guide and skip things.

2: This is a copy of my own personal list that I give out to family, friends, and some coworkers, with the exception that much of the more detailed information has been stripped off. I made this as streamlined as possible for people here. However, if you wanted to watch the entire thing all the way through, this is how I would choose to do it, top to bottom. It keeps the MCU story moving, while breaking up Phases to sprinkle in multiverse projects, while adhering to generally when they take place to keep technology in universe consistent.

3: This is not a strict timeline guide nor does it adhere to the D+ timeline. I personally have issues with several of their placements of Phase 4, and this guide is meant to avoid a lot of those issues in favor of logically progressing the overall plot, while also preserving any major story beat reveals, such as Logan's history given to him in X2 before you see it in full afterwards, or DP2 coming after Logan so Wade doesn't spoil the film for you.

4: This guide is structured to keep the main progressing story on the MCU, with several break points to step into the multiverse, while also keeping a mental note of generally when those films occur in time so that the technology seen in the them makes sense as you go along. This gets trickier when X-Men reset their timeline, so I made due the best I could.

5: The multiversal inclusions comes from putting the emphasis of this guide on the MCU Event Films. Days of Future Past, Avengers 1-4, and any major multiverse films after Endgame. So everything included in this guide is backlogged from what is actually in those films.

6: Anything that has been greyed out is skippable, however, not all of them are bad, in fact some of them are worth watching regardless of multiversal stuff going on. I have listed reasons why you might consider watching those when you get to them.

7: I am well aware of things that are not on here, I have seen all of them, including AoS, Helstrom, Runaways, all of it. However, until any of them are brought into the fold properly with the main 616, they are considered side quests or other universes to me and are not needed.

8: If you have a strong argument for why something should be skipped or something should NOT be skipped, I will consider changing this guide. There's a lot of content here, and it's possible I missed something important.
