The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy: The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy
Animated series that does just what it says in the tin: takes a comedic look at the title institution. You could call it "Star Trek: Lower Decks only just the sick bay, but larger and with more doctors and people" or "Rick and Morty meets Scrubs," and you wouldn't exactly be wrong, but it seems maybe a little bit more than that.
Movie: Elektra
Elektra the warrior survives a near-death experience, becomes an assassin-for-hire, and tries to protect a single father and his young daughter from a group of supernatural assassins.

Which is to say, what if Yondu handed young Peter over to his father, Ego the Living Planet, as per the original plan? Well, then you might have a gathering of Earth's Mightiest Heroes... of 1988. Can a couple of plucky kids help save the day? Hey, it's the eighties.

The multiverse-spanning animated series starts its second season with the cyborg daughter of Thanos working as a part of the planet Xandar's police force in what you could call NCPD Blue. Jeffrey Wright returns as the Watcher.

That's not how I would have called that match.

Mysterious Little Ship: now with 100% less mystery.
Star Trek: Lower Decks: Caves
Cave missions: when you need to do a bottle episode but don't want it to seem like one, there's always the cave set. [pause] But LD is an animated series... it doesn't use--never mind.
Star Trek: Lower Decks: A Few Badgeys More
Badgeys? Badgeys?!? We don’t need no stinkin’ Badgeys!
Star Trek: Lower Decks: Parth Ferengi's Heart Place

A very special quasi-season of ST:ST, these are micro-episodes of Trek done in the style of Star Trek: The Animated Series. [CW: some gore, improbable aliens]

Betazoid? More like Beta-annoyed, amirite?

Star Trek: Lower Decks: I Have No Bones Yet I Must Flee

Movie: Blue Beetle

Not your average kaiju film.

Movie: Captain America
Ever wonder why the MCU didn't start up earlier than it did, say, in the early 90s, after the runaway success of Warner Bros.' Batman? Call this film Exhibit A, for America.
Movie: The Avengers

It's the first adult animation show from Canada's Atomic Cartoons, and stars Lucy DeVito, Danny DeVito, and Aubrey Plaza voice-acting the above characters. [CW for animal sacrifice, nudity, and buckets of gore, sometimes in actual buckets IIRC.]
Star Trek: Lower Decks: Trusted Sources
Big new initiative for the California class, a reporter shows up to embed on their away mission, and Mariner tracks what seems to be about twenty gallons of blueberry pie filling throughout the ship.
Movie: The Incredible Hulk
Originally planned as a sequel to the 2003 Ang Lee movie, then converted to a reboot, this nascent MCU Hulkathon has a new cast (including the second of three big-screen Hulks), a new villain, and a new director, but the same old Jade Giant: mean, green, and busting up the scene.
Movie: Hulk
You probably know the drill by now (comic book starting sixty years ago, moving media starting in 1978): scientist, gamma rays, anger, hulk out. This is the Ang Lee movie from 2003, starring Eric Bana, Jennifer Connelly, Sam Elliott, and Nick Nolte. It is not part of the MCU proper, and sadly, was not a smash.
Star Trek: Lower Decks: Crisis Point 2: Paradoxus
A sequel to 2380's smash hit Crisis Point: The Rise of Vindicta, and this time... Boimler's directing! (I think that Boimler and Mariner have it in their contracts that they get equal time, or something.)
Star Trek: Lower Decks: A Mathematically Perfect Redemption
AKA "The Littlest, Nastiest Robot" or "This Is Not Your Father's Redemption Arc"

Star Trek: Lower Decks: Mining the Mind's Mines
Everybody's rockin'.
Star Trek: Lower Decks: The Least Dangerous Game
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme, K'Ranch's on the hunt he's after you...
Star Trek: Lower Decks: Grounded
[Season Premiere] AKA "Naked Came the Starship"
I Am Groot: I Am Groot
I am Groot.
[translation: A series of shorts on Disney+ apparently taking place between the credits scene in Guardians in the Galaxy that shows the "new" Groot in a small pot and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 where Baby Groot is fully mobile.]
