Four films about a supervillain learning to be a father, and three about his workforce before he hired them — one in 1968, one in 1976, and the newest one. Release order is how they were made and how the jokes build. Story order opens on the two prequels, which means an hour and a half of yellow gibberish before anyone speaks a full sentence, and is either the best or the worst way to start depending entirely on who you are watching with.
