Every Marvel TV Show in the Disney+ Era Ranked

From the iconic *Incredible Hulk* TV series to the popular *Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.*, and the gritty Netflix shows introducing Daredevil and Luke Cage, Marvel Comics has a rich history of small-screen adaptations. While previous attempts to connect these shows to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) sometimes faltered—remember *Runaways* and *Cloak and Dagger*? —2021 marked a turning point. Marvel Studios launched a new era on Disney+, creating interconnected series deeply interwoven with the billion-dollar film franchise.

With the delightful *Spider-Man: Freshman Year* arriving as the 13th Disney+ Marvel show in just four years, we're taking a look back at the previous 12. Like the Avengers sharing shawarma after the Battle of New York, the IGN Marvel experts have ranked these shows, providing an aggregate ranking. Stay tuned for *Spider-Man: Freshman Year*'s addition to the ranking after its conclusion.

12. **Secret Invasion**

It's surprising to say, but *Secret Invasion* is widely considered the weakest Marvel TV series yet. While the comic book event is monumental, the show largely ignored that. Director Ali Selim's admission of not reading the comics highlights a disconnect. While creative vision can enhance stories, *Secret Invasion* lacked that spark. Aiming for the espionage tone of *Captain America: The Winter Soldier*, the series focuses on Nick Fury battling a Skrull invasion. However, slow pacing, an AI-generated opening, the unfortunate death of a beloved character, and a bizarre new character contributed to its low ranking.

11. **Echo**

A significant improvement over *Secret Invasion*, *Echo* still lands in 11th place. Alaqua Cox reprises her role from *Hawkeye*, exploring Echo's life on the reservation as she balances her powers and past relationships, including Kingpin (Vincent D'Onofrio). A shorter episode count left some viewers wanting more, but the series boasts impressive action sequences, notably a fight against Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox). Its groundbreaking representation of indigenous creatives, both on and off-screen, makes it a unique and emotionally resonant addition to the MCU.

10. **Moon Knight**

Starring Oscar Isaac, *Moon Knight's* lower ranking might surprise some. The series explores Marc Spector's multiple personalities through mystery and action. Blending elements of *One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest*, *Indiana Jones*, and *Legion*, it's a surrealist offering. While introducing the standout Scarlet Scarab (May Calamawy) and featuring strong performances from F. Murray Abraham and Ethan Hawke, *Moon Knight* couldn't quite reach the top.

9. **The Falcon and the Winter Soldier**

Despite the potential, *The Falcon and the Winter Soldier* struggled to take flight. Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan's chemistry was a highlight, but the series was hampered by ambiguous morality, heavy reliance on the Blip's aftermath, and a focus on espionage over action. Developed by Marvel Studios and initially slated for the first Disney+ release, COVID-19 impacted production, potentially affecting the final product. Nevertheless, the series' narrative elements are crucial to understanding the current MCU, particularly relevant to this year's *Thunderbolt* film.
