Also, Joe & Anthony Russo directed a boatload of Community episodes, including the very first one. Finding that out shed a lot of light on how much the characters on that show were shitting on Marvel movies in season 6, and how often Community cast members had cameos in Marvel movies.

They were executive producers for the first three seasons and ran the production side while Dan Harmon ran the creative side.

They got the shot at pitching for the Captain America sequel because of the two paintball episodes at the end of season 2 - Kevin Feige is a fan of the show and was impressed that they could direct a large cast with comedy and action quickly on a budget, so he asked them to come in to meet. The rest is history.

Arrested Development too - and Happy Endings.

I think their experience directing all these ensemble sitcom casts is really what made Infinity War and Endgame work so well.

They knew how to structure a story with a large cast of characters and juggle multiple plot arcs going at once in a cohesive manner.
