The initial three stages of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are nothing short of spectacular. They skillfully combine numerous tales into a beautiful mosaic that makes keeping up with the series rewarding. By the time “Avengers: Endgame” arrives, everything is set for an epic story that serves as a fond farewell for many characters. Yet, the saga doesn’t conclude there. Instead, Marvel’s Phase Four starts off with a bang, featuring blockbuster films and TV series on Disney+ that allow characters from the movies to shine even brighter on the small screen. Additionally, newcomers like Ms. Marvel and Moon Knight will also have their own projects in this phase.
Initially, Disney+’s venture appears promising, offering innovative narrative possibilities and staying in sync with cinematic trends. Regrettably, however, it seems that some of Marvel’s series on Disney+ have missed their mark, causing a few missteps.
1) Secret Invasion Making Rhodey the Big Skrull Reveal
In “Secret Invasion,” Nick Fury is working tirelessly to prevent a clandestine group of Skrulls from causing chaos within the U.S. government’s international partnerships. This Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) production takes a distinct turn from its comic book source material, but the creators aim to maintain its impactful nature. To achieve this, they plan to introduce an unexpected twist by revealing James Rhodes, also known as War Machine, as a disguised Skrull. The genuine Rhodey has been held captive for years, thus missing out on significant moments such as his best friend Tony Stark’s demise.
2) Secret Invasion Powering Up G’iah
Despite Rhodey’s shocking revelation causing some trouble, “Secret Invasion” escalates the problem by introducing an excessively powerful character, G’iah. Talos is having a tough time outsmarting Gravik, the head of the rebellious Skrulls, so his daughter decides to disguise herself and infiltrate his organization. As the series progresses, she employs the Super Skrull Machine to absorb abilities from multiple MCU powerhouses such as Captain Marvel, Thanos, and the Hulk, ultimately overpowering Gravik. However, since then, G’iah has been absent without a clear plan for her role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
3) Secret Invasion Killing Maria Hill
The most disappointing aspect of “Secret Invasion” is that it kills off Maria Hill early on in the series. After spending years in the background, she seemed poised for a significant role at the start. Regrettably, her character is eliminated by Gravik’s attack, an event that propels Nick Fury’s narrative but not hers. A skilled agent leaves the franchise without fully displaying her potential.
4) WandaVision Having Ralph Bohner Pretend to Be Pierto Maximoff
I must admit, I found the debut of WandaVision on Disney+ quite impressive, given it was the first Marvel Cinematic Universe show on the platform. It masterfully creates an engaging enigma right off the bat about Wanda Maximoff and Vision’s peculiar existence in a town that leaps through decades every episode. However, one area where I felt they faltered was with the return of Evan Peters as a supposed version of Wanda’s brother, Pietro. As it turned out, this was all part of a deceitful plot orchestrated by Agatha Harkness, and Peters’ character was actually Ralph Bohner, a man under witness protection with no genuine connection to the Marvel Universe from Fox.
5) Moon Knight Cutting Away From the Action
After introducing series centered around established characters, Marvel Studios ventures into introducing Moon Knight, a complex character susceptible to fits of aggression. The advertising for this show suggests it could be the MCU’s most violent project yet, with the main character brutally defeating anyone who crosses his path. Nevertheless, the finished product falls short of expectations by focusing more on narration rather than actual action scenes.
6) Daredevil: Born Again Taking Matt Murdock to the Bank
The production process of “Daredevil: Born Again” appears disorganized, resulting in a narrative that at times seems like two distinct series. The show manages to find its rhythm, only for the fifth episode to disrupt this flow by incorporating a bottle episode where Matt Murdock becomes trapped in a bank during a robbery alongside Kamala Khan’s father. This episode, titled “With Interest,” feels jarringly out of sync with the rest of the series, leading even the show’s main star, Charlie Cox, to express disapproval of it.
7) She-Hulk: Attorney at Law Introducing Skaar
Although She-Hulk: Attorney at Law didn’t receive a warm welcome initially, it turns out that it isn’t as terrible as some might think. It does have awkward moments, but compared to other Disney+ series, it’s relatively tame. The main flaw in the show lies with the character of Skaar, Bruce Banner’s son, who is poorly integrated and doesn’t add much value to the storyline. He makes a brief appearance at a family gathering before vanishing from the Marvel Cinematic Universe completely.
