10 Best Episodes of Marvel TV Shows on Disney+

by

Discussing the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), films have undeniably been its main attraction. Marvel Studios has gained ground on the silver screen by uniting the Avengers and highlighting lesser-known comic book heroes, like the Guardians of the Galaxy. Yet, the MCU has also had its share of less successful releases that have left a negative impression post-Avengers: Endgame. Consequently, the Marvel series on Disney+ often struggle to gain traction, as they primarily focus on characters whose screen presence is not substantial enough for a solo film.

Frankly speaking, Disney+’s Marvel shows deserve more recognition than they’re currently receiving. Admittedly, there are some series that might challenge viewers, such as Secret Invasion, but this doesn’t diminish the overall quality of the content. On the contrary, these handpicked episodes demonstrate that Marvel can truly shine when it’s streaming on our screens.

10) “The Past Is the Past” (Ironheart Episode 6)

In my perspective, Ironheart encountered some tough breaks with hold-ups and an unusual rollout plan. Yet, it showed resilience by delivering a finale that defied assumptions as its leading character opted for a questionable decision. Moreover, this climactic episode introduced a formidable antagonist, Mephisto. Although we can’t predict when the Marvel Cinematic Universe will resume the storylines set up by Ironheart, the show leaves a lasting impression by unflinchingly sticking to its guns in the final episode.

9) “Truth” (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 5)

In the fifth installment titled “Truth” of the series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, we find the narrative continuing directly from the heart-wrenching incidents in Episode 4, where Battlestar perishes and John Walker takes a life in its aftermath. The episode opens with Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes engaging John Walker in combat over the shield, followed by their retreat to Sam’s family home for regrouping. What makes “Truth” unique is that it marks the moment where Sam acknowledges his responsibility to wield the shield, while also grappling with the complex legacy it represents.

8) “Death’s Hand in Mine” (Agatha All Along Episode 7)

In the seventh episode of “Agatha All Along,” titled “Agatha All Along Episode 7,” the narrative shifts from Agatha Harkness’ power regaining journey to focus on Lilia Calderu, a member of her coven. As the group encounters another test on the Witches’ Road, their situation becomes grim due to Calderu’s inability to interpret a tarot card reading. However, it is revealed that she must read her own cards and confront her past to progress. The episode concludes tragically as Calderu sacrifices herself in a pivotal sequence, setting the stage for significant events further ahead.

7) “Mutant Liberation Begins” (X-Men ’97 Season 1, Episode 2)

In the realm of animated series, the debut episode of X-Men ’97 presents a new challenge for the eponymous superhero squad: accepting Magneto as their newly appointed leader. At first, Cyclops and the rest aren’t keen on this idea, but they don’t have a moment to argue in “Mutant Liberation Begins,” as a terrorist attack occurs during Magneto’s court trial at the United Nations. In the ensuing chaos, Storm loses her powers, causing great anger in Magneto. He delivers an impassioned speech about his efforts to improve despite the world trying to make him worsen, and he mercifully spares the lives of their enemies.

6) “Isle of Joy” (Daredevil: Born Again Season 1, Episode 8)

The initial seven episodes of the series Daredevil: Born Again struggle to align their plotlines, leading to a confusing narrative. However, episode 8, titled “Isle of Joy,” marks a significant improvement as it brings back the rivalry between Daredevil and Bullseye. In this episode, Bullseye aims to eliminate Wilson Fisk, but Matt Murdock, despite desiring Fisk’s arrest, steps in to save him from Bullseye, taking a bullet instead in an unexpected twist.

5) “For All Time. Always.” (Loki Season 1, Episode 6)

In the initial season of Loki, hints are subtly dropped about someone orchestrating events within the TVA. The series “For All Time. Always.” unveils that the mastermind is actually He Who Remains, a variant of Kang. This powerful character proposes to bestow his position upon Loki, but after much deliberation between Sylvie and Loki about accepting this offer, vengeance ultimately drives Sylvie to eliminate He Who Remains at the End of Time. This decision not only alters Sylvie personally but also significantly reshapes the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole.

4) “We Interrupt This Program” (WandaVision Episode 4)

In the series WandaVision, there are numerous unexpected plots that make it challenging to follow along. Each episode takes us on a journey through various eras of television, and it isn’t until “We Interrupt This Program” that we begin to understand why. Monica Rambeau, who ventures into Westview in search of answers, momentarily discards her sitcom persona to confront Wanda Maximoff with tough questions. Wanda, a previous Avenger, finds Monica’s demeanor unacceptable and reveals herself as the antagonist, orchestrating the town to live a life she never had an opportunity to experience.

3) “Journey Into Mystery” (Loki Season 1, Episode 5)

In the comic series “Journey Into Mystery,” prior to his significant encounter with He Who Remains, Loki passes his time in the Void. During this period, he encounters different versions of himself and gathers insights about the Final Time. Among all these characters, it’s Classic Loki who leaves a lasting impression due to his thrilling showdown against Alioth. Using his illusory abilities, he rebuilds Asgard as a decoy and offers the original Asgardian an opportunity to flee safely.

2) “Remember It” (X-Men ’97 Season 1, Episode 5)

X-Men ’97 is terrific right from the start, but “Remember It” takes it to another level. As part of the team, some members are on Genosha when a Sentinel assault forces the mutants on this island nation to struggle for their lives. Rogue, Gambit, and Magneto do everything in their power to aid them, and the mutant who can throw cards with precision sacrifices his life to save his beloved. The episode’s conclusion, where Rogue touches Gambit’s lifeless body, continues to be a painful memory for many viewers.

1) “Glorious Purpose” (Loki Season 2, Episode 6)

Among all Marvel TV series on Disney+, only “Loki”‘s Season 2 finale could potentially surpass the emotional impact of “Remember It.” Throughout the season, the Trickster God Loki has been tirelessly seeking a solution to save the multiverse, but finds himself at a dead end. In a selfless act, he decides to step out and sustain it on his own, sacrificing his life so that his companions might live on. After many years of striving to be a villain, Loki ultimately discovers his true calling: to be a hero.
