Top 5 Marvel series and other details explored
Keep reading to learn more about the top five Marvel series.
1) Dardevil
Way before the current Daredevil: Born Again, Matt Murdock turned heads with his appearance on Netflix's Daredevil. The show ran for three seasons between 2015 and 2018 and proved to be the best series in the MCU. It has everything that makes it a masterpiece, including an arresting plot, incredible cinematography, and an overall tonal consistency that makes the audience jump right into the world of the blind vigilante.
2) WandaVision
Wanda Maximoff and Vision are at the center of this show which is integrally tied to the larger MCU. This show particularly succeeds in transcending the typical tropes usually deployed by superhero franchises and instead boasts of a riveting character study based on the protagonists while at the same time tackling complex themes of love, loss, grief, and motherhood. The show has also been praised for the use of its comic tropes. WandaVision is available on Disney+.
3) Loki
Premiering for the first time back in 2021 on Disney+, Loki endeared audiences to its singular protagonist. Similar to WandaVision, Loki too has its ties set to the tunes of the larger MCU. Tom Hiddleston won several hearts with his moving portrayal, adding many shades and layers to the God of Mischief.
4) The Spectacular Spider-Man
This was an animated show that had a relatively short run between 2008 and 2009. Despite its brief journey, The Spectacular Spider-Man effectively came to be known as the most definite rendition of Spider-Man. The show focused right from the genesis of the wall-crawling superhero, picking him up when he was just sixteen years old. Despite catering mostly to a younger audience, the animation and the storytelling of this show easily make it one of the best among MCU's animated shows. The show also has a high IMDb rating of 8.4/10.
5) Legion
If there was ever an instance of an unexpected sleeper hit, then Legion would appropriately fit the bill. Legion follows the tale of David Haller and his discovery of his superpowers after being diagnosed with schizophrenia. The show delved into science fiction and contrary to popular expectations did remarkably well during its rather short journey on-screen between 2017 and 2019. All the episodes of Legion are now exclusively available on Disney+.
These were just five of the top shows from a vast repository of content developed by the MCU.
