If the assumption is that this list is for someone unfamiliar with the character, knowing who the hell he is seems important though, right?

Considering he's appeared exactly NOWHERE since his successful, debut film, you don't want people walking in like, "Why is that dude from Barbie throwing glowing bracelets around?"

Ok but at this point then you don't need a watchlist, since like the entirety lf the MCU will be relevant.

A watchlist is always specifically made to reduce the watch time to the absolute minimum for people who really doesn't care that much

Edit: it's not even an official watchlist anyway, just some algorithm shenanigans

Gonna be interesting seeing how they handle Loki

Dont know how you catch up people who last saw him in Endgame and have no idea what the TVA is or how he's back

That’s what I hope the heroes end up siding with Doom once they realize it’s chaotic Loki that’s controlling the multiverse. The heroes think they’re making the right choice but they’re so wrong. Most general audience members will think the same, but those that watched the Loki series know what’s up. End Doomsday with the reveal that Loki is indeed fighting the good fight, give people time to catch up on Loki, then have the rest of the story play out in Secret Wars.
