Ranked: Marvel Cinematic Universe Disney+ Shows

After the huge success of the films in The Marvel Cinematic Universe, they have now turned their hands to the TV universe. Through Disney+ Marvel Studios have more freedom to expand on characters introduced in the films or introduce new characters through more screen time. Now here are my rankings of the shows so far on Disney+ from the MCU. 

10. She-Hulk: Attorney At Law (2022)

Though there are some chuckles and entertaining moments, She-Hulk is a pretty big let down and feels quite indulgent. Though I really liked Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk this was a miss for me and if she does return hopefully we get to see her in a better environment. 

9. Ms Marvel (2022) 

Introducing new characters is tough and Ms Marvel does an effective job at this with Iman Vellani bringing life to the character and her story. The issue is that the plot is all over the place and the villains aren't well handled but this is still an entertaining show. 

8. What If...? Season 1 (2021) 

The animated series What If...? was an enjoyable series that had some really good episodes with interesting concepts that wouldn't maybe pan out on the big screen or live action. But the issue is that there are too many episodes of the show and some of them feel quite lacklustre and it sometimes gets a bit repetitive. It is a shame because the animation style is great but the substance and overall pacing can't hold up all of the time.  

7. Secret Invasion (2023)

This show has plenty that is good. The acting is superb by Samuel L Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Olivia Coleman and more with some interesting storytelling incidents. The issue is that it rushes its story and doesn't feel like a big enough deal. It is an enjoyable show but if it it achieved its potential it could have been the top of this list which is frustrating. 

6. Hawkeye (2021) 

After many years as a side character in the films, Jeremy Renner finally gets the spotlight in his own series as Hawkeye and it was also fun. The Christmas setting was a nice change of pace and the cast do a really good job, in particular the introduction of Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop. The issue is that the show feels really small scale and it doesn't exactly delivers on the potential that it had. A messy finale holds it back from being better, but it does some things well that should be commended. 

5. The Falcon & The Winter Soldier (2021)

This show had plenty of hype and buzz around it and felt large on scale. The dynamic between Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes is really well realised here and their dynamic is one of the best parts of this show. It looks at some really deep subject matter and does the most of it well, it also helps that Zemo is back and handled really well. There are some issues with the main villain and some of the side plots but overall I thought this show was great and felt like a really big deal. 

4. Moon Knight (2022) 

The first Disney+ show of 2022 was a real hit. Oscar Isaac does a really great job in the lead role and introduces us to this really interesting character and new side of the MCU. The supporting cast are also good and it looks great, when Moon Knight is on screen it is really entertaining. The show has a bit of an issue with its villain plot and the lack of actual Moon Knight but it does a really good job overall, with a fantastic ending. 

3. WandaVision (2021) 

The first MCU show released on Disney+ did a fantastic job of introducing us to this format. Elizabeth Olsen really stars as Wanda Maximoff and the show did an amazing job with this character. The rest of the cast are great too and really deliver. It starts off a bit slow but when it starts going it makes you wondering what is exactly going on and questioning everything. It gets to a really good point with the characters and WandaVision was a fantastic unique show, that was unlike anything we had seen before in this universe. 

2. Loki Season 1 (2021) 

So far my favourite show of The MCU is the first season of Loki. This show was fantastic, Hiddleston is once again brilliant as the titular character and I just really enjoyed the feel of the show. Owen Wilson was also great and I love the dynamic between the two characters, the ending of the show also set up an amazing second season and I think this show did a great job of keeping me anticipating week to week. 

1. Loki Season 2 (2023)

After all these shows, we finally have one that is truly epic. Loki Season 2 improves on everything from the first season which was really good. Tom Hiddleston gives his best performance in the role and it gives a really satisfying conclusion which could be the conclusion of his character. Everyone was great, it looked great and the story was incredibly well told and not only is this the best MCU show so far it is one of the best things in the MCU overall. 

Overall

Overall, these shows have been a really strong start and continue the good work of The MCU. It has given side characters way more time to grow and expand and now it is starting to introduce new characters which should be fun to watch.
