We’re listing the Marvel shows from worst to best, including the Netflix shows.
Look out, here comes Daredevil, the Man Without Fear!
Characters from the movies got spun off into shows on Disney+.
So lets dive into the world of Marvel heroes that have been forever changed by the MCU.
Inhumans
Perhaps the least essential creation ofJack KirbyandStan Lee, theInhumanswork best as supporting characters within theFantastic Fourfranchise.
And what a terrible miniseries it was.
Despite some likable actors such as Anson Mount and Ken Leung,Inhumansnever justified its own existence.
Marvels Runaways
Heres the thing about theRunaways: they have to run away.
Secret Invasion
The most damning thing that anyone can say aboutSecret Invasionis that it doesnt matter at all.
Frankly, those who skippedSecret Invasionwere probably the happiest with the show.
Its fitting, then, that the crossover miniseriesThe Defendersexemplifies all of the other shows problems.
Iron Fist
LikeThe Defenders,Iron Fistalso confuses conversations in office buildings with compelling genre television.
As portrayed by Alaqua Cox, Lopez made for a compelling antagonist to Clint Barton inHawkeye.
Then again, theres not much to the show itself.
No one would place the show in the middle.
However, the shows success relies entirely on how much the audience finds the jokes actually funny.
And yet, even members of the target demographic get bored after one or two episodes.
Marvels What If…?
What If…?might be the most perfect adaptation of a comic book series.
And like the comic series,What If…?was occasionally interesting and mostly dull.
Still, its hard to believe that anyone remembers the episodes as soon as the credits roll.
Moon Knight
Ones enjoyment ofMoon Knightmight depend entirely on ones feelings aboutOscar Isaac.
Yet, for those who love everything that Isaacs handing out,Moon Knightis a lot of fun.
Add in ringers such asMahershala Aliand Alfre Woodard as villains, andLuke Cagewas set to matchDaredevilfor excitement and intensity.
As a result, most of the Netflix shows felt oddly paced, none worse thanLuke Cage.
A lot of the shows success can be attributed toJon Bernthal, who first played the character in Daredevil.
And yet, the show doesnt seem to trust the characters enough to really focus on them.
Jessica Jonessettled into a better rhythm for its second and third seasons, and Ritter remained strong throughout.
But without Tennants Kilgrave as the main villain, those later seasons feel solid if unremarkable.
Agatha All Along
For its first few episodesAgatha All Alongfelt like Marvel at its least essential.
But by the time that the second half of the season kicks in,Agatha All Alongfinds surprising pathos.
Yet, that first season quickly revealed itself as a pretty by-the-numbers procedural with only the slightest MCU trappings.
Its likable ensemble cast settled into their roles and the show got room to be more experimental and fun.
Kree soldiers, Ghost Rider, and actual supervillains became part of the story.
By the timeWerewolf by Nightends, were still hungry for more, a rarity among MCU shows.
Agent Carter
Obviously,Agent Carterisnt the best show on this list.
ButAgent Carterdoes the best job at translating the Marvel Universe to television.
Yes, Edwin Jarvis and Howard Stark show up, butAgent Cartermostly got to be a high-energy spy show.
All of the changes work.
Hawkeye
No one in their right mind would pick Clint Barton as their favorite Avenger.
Hawkeyeworks, in part, because he doesnt have to carry it.
Plus, the series uses its Christmas setting and gives usRogers: The Musical.
What more could you want?
Loki
IfLokididnt come back for a second season, it would have ranked much lower.
Fun, yes, but the multiverse shenanigans muted the shows emotional stakes.
The show sticks the landing, givingLokisomething so rare among Marvel characters: a proper ending.
Grounded by a great ensemble cast playing her friends and family,Ms.
Ms. Marvel could be the future of MCU, if only the franchise would let her lead.
And, of course, it has a killer soundtrack.
Daredevil
Daredevilisnt exempt from the problems that plagued the other Netflix series.
But whenDaredevilis working, its among the best in superhero television.
The show establishes itself within its first three episodes.
X-Men 97
X-Men 97didnt have to be this good.
It could have been fantasy escapism, letting us grown ups ignore the problems in the real world.
X-Men 97does the exact opposite.
And yes, the series continues to adapt stories from the incredibly popular but artistically questionableX-Mencomics of the era.
WandaVision
For a minute, it seemed like Marvel television would be something truly special.
Plus, the show wisely balances Wandas CGI off against Agatha with Vision having a deep conversation with himself.
By the time it finished,WandaVisionset a standard no other MCU show has been able to match.
