Poor is a good choice of word, Axelrod.
Take a look at these two CGC slabbed books:
Both slabs are titled Brave and the Bold #28, both are labelled as the "1st appearance of the Justice League of America".
Look at the first book, by DC:
.thumb.jpg.5fbc196996869edd87e37f5e1a4c3b36.jpg)
- If I said to you that book was called Brave and the Bold, you couldn't question it, because it is.
- If I said to you it was number 28, you couldn't question it, because it is.
- If I said to you it was the first appearance of the Justice League, you couldn't question it, because it is.
- If I told you I was going to file it against the census record of DC's Brave and the Bold, you couldn't question it, because it's the only logical place for it.
Now look at the Editora Brasil-America book, printed eight years later:
- If I said to you that book was called Brave and the Bold, you could question it, because it is called Os Justiceiros.
- If I said to you it was number 28, you could question it, because it is number 12.
- If I said to you it was the first appearance of the Justice League, you could question it, because it is isn't - DC's Brave and the Bold #28 printed 8 years earlier is.
- If I told you "Ah, but it's the first appearance of the Justice League in Brasil", you could say "Great. Well say that then", and I'd ignore you.
- If I told you I was going to file it against the census record of #28 of DC's Brave and the Bold, you could question it, because it belongs against the record of Editora Brasil-America's Os Justiceiros #12.
So CGC have created all those issues, just to get across that the subsequent international book shares the same cover as BATB #28. All they had to do was add a label note to that effect, and add the words "in Brasil" after the first appearance label designation. That's all they had to do.
The shame of it all, is that these 'international' books are FANTASTIC! And instead of praising them and gushing over how FANTASTIC they are, we're all here scratching our heads over a non-factual, inaccurate, misleading and wildly over engineered recording strategy.

You're welcome. So let's meet back here when you're finished and compare notes. Next Tuesday?
Just finished Daredevil season 1, I will follow your list and move on to Jessica Jones even though I want to watch DD S2.
I cannot sit through Agents of shield again, it was a decent series but not outstanding. I have seen all the films except Dark Pheonix & Thor 4, some films I could watch again, some I couldn't but I really haven't seen a lot of the older TV shows and thats what I am really looking forward to when she is at work
She wants to re-watch Game of Thrones
I thought it was great but if she gets that, then I vote Sopranos next 
for the maybe 4th time.
The compromise may be the Blade films, never really saw them since they were out and wonder how they stand up after your comments.

OK, here comes Kevin's list: all of Marvel in watching (chronological) order. Spoiler alert: it references a ton of stuff that happens in the MCU/ABC/Netflix-verse and all Marvel related projects for the last 24 years, so if you don't want to see the result, look away now.
I am not endorsing any of this, in fact, I strongly recommend giving Mutant X and Runaways a hard swerve. Where something is set at a point in time other than 'now', I have used the time it's set in, but where things appear to occur purely in the then-present, I have assumed it was set in the year it was produced.
You can probably find websites that dispute some of these points. You know what Marvel fandom is like. I particularly like the point where Disney announced that Moon Knight was set in 2025 and someone calculated that, by the phases of the moon (which are obviously critical to the plot), it must actually take place in 2024. Excellent. I'm proud to say I've gone nowhere near that level of accuracy. Obviously, things like DOFP, Endgame and Loki which jump around in time are dealer's choice really.
Kev, the 3rd table gives you the Netflix series and where they fit in. The way I've laid it out means you can either watch just the Netflix series in the right order, or Netflix + the MCU, or everything. Whatever you like.
BTW, the She Hulk/Shang Chi thing is disputed, which is why it makes no sense. It doesn't matter what order you watch these in.

my list includes a column which explains the reason why I think each piece of the puzzle fits where it fits, but this of course means that the list is crawling with spoilers
I think I would like to see this part as well, spoilers wouldn't stop me.
*I remember the Blade films being quite good, admittedly it has been a while since I watched them, I think Wesley Snipes was a perfect choice.
I have started to watch Daredevil, about 6 episodes in, it's better than I thought it would be
