Marvel’s chair-back reveal established the size of the ensemble, not how the movie introduces it. Until release, a short continuity refresher is more sensible than an MCU rewatch.

Prime Video’s recap is enough for casual viewers. Replay all eight season-one episodes only if Vault-Tec, the Brotherhood and the NCR matter as much as Lucy’s next move.

The theatrical case rests on shared laughter, not screen size. A busy standard auditorium should offer the useful upgrade, provided the finished film sustains its cartoon-and-live-action timing.

Clayface has decades of conflicting history, but the coming DC film should require only a basic grasp of his body and identity problem. Most Batman continuity is optional.

Street-level action does not automatically need the biggest screen. Until the film’s presentation details are confirmed, Dolby or a strong standard auditorium may offer better value.
