Last week, Disney released the final episode of Marvel’s animated series, ‘What If…?’ on its streaming platform, Disney+ Hotstar. At this point, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has had four web series released in total, all of them coming out this year, 202, itself. The fourth phase of the MCU has been largely successful so far, thanks to these web series. So before the final web series of the year, the six-part series ‘Hawkeye‘, drops for streaming next month, let us rank the current MCU web series from best to worst:
4. What If…?
The last web series to release, but the “first” on this list. Don’t get us wrong, ‘What If…?‘ is a good show, but it is the only one out of the four shows that will not be a part of the canon MCU. For now, at least. Still the animated series is a breath of fresh air from the highly complex cinematic universe.
3. The Falcon and The Winter Soldier
This show was a cinematic landmark within the MCU where the mantle of Captain America was properly passed from Steve Rogers to Sam Wilson. The show gives us an in depth look into problems faced by the entire world such as racism, border control and lack of accountability. We also get a bromance for the ages between Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes (and also possibly Baron Zamo as well).
2. WandaVision
The first MCU show to ever air was also one of its best serials as well. A brilliant series, it talks about depression, sorrow and unchecked power – and we find an unlikely villain and an even unlikelier hero at the end of this brilliant Superhero series. WandaVision also takes us through the various ages of popular Hollywood television sitcoms – thereby giving us a glimpse of some of the funniest shows, through the ages.
1. Loki
This show is the reason why WandaVision is not the best MCU TV series currently streaming on any platform. The storyline, music, CGI, set pieces, cinematography are all top notch, but the casting and acting takes this series to that next level of must-watch brilliance. It is also the web series that is highly likely to shake up the entire MCU from now on, and that coupled with Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson’s acting is what makes this web series the best Marvel has to offer right now (from the MCU that is – the best Marvel show of all time is still the Charlie Cox starring ‘Daredevil’).
Check out all of the aforementioned web series on Disney+ Hotstar.
