How the calculator works
It adds up the runtime of every title in the set you pick, using the same figures as the planners: theatrical running times for films and the sum of every episode for series. It then fills each of your watching days with the hours you choose, starting on your start date, until the total is used up. The last day is usually shorter.
Tick "Skip titles I have ticked" and it leaves out anything you have already marked as watched in that franchise's planner on this device.
Switch to "The pace I need" when you have a deadline, such as finishing before a new release. It counts your watching days up to the date you pick and tells you how many hours each one needs.
Typical marathon lengths
| Set | Titles | Total | Days at 2 h a day | Days at 4 h a day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marvel: everything released | 64 | 185 h 25 min | 93 | 47 |
| Marvel: films only | 38 | 83 h 5 min | 42 | 21 |
| Marvel: essentials only | 20 | 46 h 59 min | 24 | 12 |
| X-Men: everything released | 14 | 28 h 1 min | 15 | 8 |
| X-Men: essentials only | 9 | 18 h 47 min | 10 | 5 |
| Spider-Man: everything released | 12 | 28 h 18 min | 15 | 8 |
| Spider-Man: essentials only | 9 | 20 h 21 min | 11 | 6 |
Days are rounded up, and these figures assume you watch every day. Breaks between titles, and the time it takes to decide what to watch next, are not included, so give yourself some slack.
Planning tips
- Front-load the long ones. Endgame alone runs 3 h 1 min. Put it on a day with time to spare.
- Pick watching days you can keep. Two evenings and a weekend is a steadier pace than every night for a fortnight.
- Use the essentials if time is short. The Marvel essentials route keeps the story that the next Avengers film builds on, in about 47 hours.
