Franchise finales questions

Should I read a franchise finale guide before earlier entries?

No. Finale guides assume the full story and can reveal unresolved mysteries and character fates from earlier entries.

How do I know which order to watch first?

Use the linked watch order when one is available. It lists the entries in a first-time viewing order and explains deviations from release order.

Does the guide explain post-credit scenes?

It covers a post-credit scene when it is part of the title's documented ending facts and changes how the finale should be understood.

Need the order first?

Use a franchise watch order before reading the ending of a later entry.
