Every Marvel TV Show in the Disney+ Era Ranked

Marvel's small-screen adaptations have a rich history, from the classic "Incredible Hulk" to the Netflix series featuring Daredevil and Luke Cage. While previous attempts to integrate these shows into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) faltered, Marvel Studios launched a new era in 2021 with Disney+. This initiative saw interconnected series directly tied to the massively successful film franchise.

With the recent addition of "Spider-Man: Freshman Year," the 13th Disney+ Marvel show in just four years, IGN's Marvel experts have ranked the first twelve. This ranking aggregates individual assessments, offering a comprehensive overview of the Disney+ Marvel TV landscape. The ranking of "Spider-Man: Freshman Year" will be added later.

Disney+ Marvel TV Shows Ranked

Secret Invasion

Disney+

Widely considered the weakest Marvel TV offering yet, "Secret Invasion" surprisingly fell short of expectations. Despite its source material's significance in Marvel Comics, the series lacked focus and coherence. The director's unfamiliarity with the comics resulted in a narrative that failed to capture the essence of the original story. While the MCU has successfully incorporated creative liberties, "Secret Invasion" lacked the vision to justify its deviations. Slow pacing, a jarring AI-generated opening sequence, the unceremonious death of a beloved character, and an underwhelming new character contributed to its low ranking.

Echo

Disney+

A significant improvement over "Secret Invasion," "Echo" still occupies a lower position in the ranking. Alaqua Cox's return as Echo delivers an action-packed narrative exploring her life on the reservation. The series balances her powers, past, and relationship with Kingpin.

A shortened episode count left some viewers wanting more. However, standout action sequences, particularly a fight with Daredevil, and a predominantly indigenous cast make it a unique and emotionally resonant addition to the MCU.

Moon Knight

Disney+

Starring Oscar Isaac, "Moon Knight" surprisingly ranks lower due to its limited impact. The series explores Marc Spector's multiple personalities, blending mystery, mayhem, and surrealism. Influenced by works like "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "Indiana Jones," it introduces Scarlet Scarab as a standout character. Despite a strong cast including F. Murray Abraham and Ethan Hawke, it failed to achieve a higher ranking or secure a second season.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

Disney+

While anticipated, "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" faced challenges. Mackie and Stan's chemistry was well-received, but murky morals, reliance on the Blip storyline, and a focus on espionage over action hindered its success. Production delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic likely impacted the final product. Despite this, its narrative elements are crucial to understanding the current MCU, notably the "Thunderbolts" film.
