Marvel TV has had more hits than misses. Secret Wars was the only one that was really bad. She Hulk might not have been enjoyable for everyone, but it did capture the spirit of the comics. Falcon and the Winter Soldier suffered from Anthony Mackie syndrome, but otherwise was pretty good. Moon Knight was great, the specials were really good, Hawkeye was decent for the most part, and Echo was a pleasant surprise, and Ms Marvel was good enough to get the job done. What If and XMen 97 are both wins, too.

Loki and WandaVision were head and shoulders better than everything else.

On balance, I'd say the Disney+ TV shows have had a better batting average than the Post-Endgame films.

I didn't like the 4th wall breaking in she-hulk but overall i enjoyed it. Wandavision was on another level though. I loved loki and unsurprisingly i really cannot care about captain america, old or new. I think it's the cold-war/spy-story style that i find uninspired. Also liked most of moon knight. Not that anyone cares.

I care. I love talking about them, because I want Marvel to keep making shows and movies. Some are going to be bad. Some are going to be great. That's what reading Marvel comics in the 80s and 90s felt like. You'd get great writers doing thought-provoking crossovers and creative plotlines, and then sometimes the whole book would just be the quest for a reason for Hulk to fight the Thing just to see who wins.

Seeing Daredevil show up in She-Hulk was like crack for me. I want more of that. It created tension and intrigue. They were playful and competent. The villains were regular, shitty people who exist in the real world. Blonsky was excellent, and I hope we get more of him, maybe in Thunderbolts (although I hope it's not the same story as the comics).

The fourth wall thing was very appropriate for She-Hulk, but I can understand why some people didn't like it. I also believe a lot of the hate stemmed from an undercurrent of real-life red-pill misogynists, but that's not to say all criticism was invalid.

Moon Knight was great, even if the Kaiju Ennead battle was stupid. I really hope we see more of all of that.

The social commentary around She-Hulk was wild. The fact that certain parts of the fanbase were losing their minds over a silly post-credits twerk with Meghan the Stallion was both unsettling and entertaining to witness. If anybody had a problem with that but not the recurring America's ass joke in Endgame, they really need to go and take a good long look at themselves.
