Netflix’s Daredevil was part of an interconnected universe of Marvel series within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This universe eventually grew to include Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and The Defenders. However, when the new Daredevil: Born Again show premieres on Disney+, these characters will not initially appear. Yet, there are subtle references or nods towards these heroes (and a certain Friendly Neighborhood Wall-Crawler) in the series premiere. Will we see some or all of these characters return in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2? The answer is uncertain at this time.
One of the many intriguing Easter eggs, hidden references, and subtle details you might have overlooked in the first two exceptional episodes of “Daredevil: Born Again” is what we’ll be exploring in our latest Marvel video. We’ll delve into how this new series connects to the original Netflix “Daredevil” show, such as the ingenious employment of its musical score and soundtrack.
Additionally, we’ll unravel the background story of White Tiger, a character who will undoubtedly play a significant role in this series. Lastly, we’ll decipher the symbolic significance behind the opening credits scene featuring crumbling statues transitioning to a new rendition of the Man Without Fear.

Every Marvel Cinematic Universe Movie, Ranked From Worst to Best
35. Eternals
Initially, I wouldn’t have anticipated that a Marvel film directed by an Academy Award winner and inspired by some of Jack Kirby’s most daring comics would result in one of the company’s least crucial films. Regrettably, Eternals failed to coalesce effectively. It generally adheres to the fundamental principles of Kirby’s concepts with a few minor but rather perplexing alterations – for instance, transforming the malevolent Deviants into faceless monsters without clear objectives or motivations. The ensemble boasts commendable supporting roles from Kumail Nanjiani and Brian Tyree Henry, yet the primary characters – Gemma Chan as Sersi and Richard Madden as Ikaris – find it challenging to convincingly portray their supposed passionate relationship (a romance that spans 6,000 years; they appear as if they’re on their first date, and it’s not going well). The script occasionally delves into intriguing concepts regarding the links between superheroes, mythology, and religion, only to frequently forsake them in favor of routine fight sequences with uninteresting adversaries. It’s challenging to imagine a more tedious film about immortal alien robots striving to thwart imminent apocalypse than this one.
34. The Incredible Hulk
The film, with its disjointed and clumsy feel, seems to suggest that Marvel was taken aback by the success of Iron Man and hastily produced this. Casting Tim Roth as the world’s supreme soldier is a decision Loki himself might find more criminal than anything he’s ever done – it’s as if they turned him into a massive bony creature resembling a pile of waste. (For further reading, click here.)
33. Thor: The Dark World
Nearly, we were on the verge of witnessing Patty Jenkins’ version of Thor. However, what we received was a lackluster pursuit of a mystical artifact, featuring one of the most uninteresting villains in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. If there’s any silver lining, it’s that this film’s poor performance might have prevented Marvel from being as open to making significant changes like they did with Thor: Ragnarok (for more details, check out the link provided).
Read more here.
32. The Marvels
This Marvel film isn’t the poorest in quality – it surpasses three other movies on this list – but it’s arguably the most disorganized and intense. Three captivating Marvel heroes (Brie Larson as Captain Marvel, Iman Vellani as Ms. Marvel, and Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau) are haphazardly thrown together to thwart a Kree warlord intent on causing havoc for unclear reasons. The actors work wonderfully together, but the plot, although concise, is chaotic and filled with peculiar decisions that make little sense in the grand scheme of things.
31. Captain America: Brave New World
As a die-hard movie enthusiast, I’d say that “Great characters, lackluster plot” could sum up some underwhelming Marvel flicks, like the latest addition, The Marvels, but it resonates particularly with Captain America: Brave New World. This long-awaited solo outing for the captivating Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson unfortunately gets weighed down by a monotonous antagonist and a tale riddled with unnecessary references to The Incredible Hulk, leaving us all puzzled about Betty Ross’s whereabouts.
30. Doctor Strange
In a nutshell, the mind-bending images are commendable, but “Doctor Strange” struggles to move past the sensation that it’s essentially an upgraded version of “Iron Man” with a dash of magic. A positive note: The creative ending featuring Dormammu was well executed. However, the strange cape design left something to be desired. (For further details, check out this review.)
While the cool visuals are great, “Doctor Strange” often feels like a magic-infused version of “Iron Man 2.” I appreciated the clever twist with Dormammu, but found the cape design odd. (For a full review, visit here.)
29. Iron Man 2
Sam Rockwell’s dancing adds a unique charm, yet the overall performance isn’t exceptional. His moves can conceal some flaws, but not all of them. Trimming 15 minutes of setup from Avengers could potentially result in a more engaging experience. (You can read more here.)
28. Ant-Man
The film Ant-Man isn’t poor quality, but it’s challenging not to perceive it as a scaled-down version of the larger Edgar Wright movie we could have had. Despite this, Michael Peña’s character Luis stands out as one of the best non-superpowered characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). (Read more here.)
27. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
In a battle between Ant-Man and Kang the Conqueror, even Kang himself (played by an intimidating Jonathan Majors) suggests that Scott Lang is out of his depth. This seemingly lopsided matchup could be seen as symbolic for the movie itself: The familiar, humorous, and relatable world of the Ant-Man series is no comparison to the grand multiverse drama unfolding in Marvel Phase 5 on the big screen. As a Marvel cinematic experience, it’s satisfactory. However, when considering it as an extension of the Ant-Man franchise, it falls short. Unfortunately, if you were hoping for more scenes featuring Michael Peña’s beloved character Luis, you won’t find him in this film at all.
26. Ant-Man and the Wasp
The movie “Ant-Man and the Wasp” shines brightest when it emphasizes its tiny aspects, as Paul Rudd crackles humor with his fellow actors, Michael Peña’s stories, and a personal, family-oriented drama about mending a fractured family. (Read more
25. Captain Marvel
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Brie Larson’s character Carol Danvers could potentially be the strongest hero, yet her movie seemed to fall short on an emotional level. However, it manages to stay engaging thanks to two standout performances: Ben Mendelsohn as the cunning Skrull Talos, and Samuel L. Jackson (as well as the impressive de-aging special effects used on him), portraying a younger Nick Fury. (Read more here.)
24. Black Widow
2021 saw Scarlett Johansson’s long-awaited standalone outing from the Avengers, titled “Black Widow.” Instead of taking center stage as anticipated, she found herself primarily acting as a straight character opposite her witty Russian superhero co-stars, such as David Harbour’s narcissistic Red Guardian and Florence Pugh’s captivating Yelena. Consequently, “Black Widow” might not have provided the fitting farewell for the character. However, it remains a high-quality Marvel production, featuring remarkable stunt sequences and an intriguing villain in Taskmaster, who has the ability to replicate the fighting styles of any adversary he encounters.
23. Thor: Love and Thunder
Experiencing Taika Waititi’s second Thor movie, “Thor: Love and Thunder,” is somewhat like observing a magician performing the same trick twice in quick succession. The initial performance left you amazed. However, the second time around, while still impressive, it loses some of its shock value. Christian Bale delivers an unsettling portrayal of Gorr the God-Butcher, but his intense and deeply emotional villain persona doesn’t quite harmonize with Chris Hemsworth’s Thor and his continuous humor. Essentially, “Thor: Love and Thunder” retains all the characteristics of Waititi’s “Thor: Ragnarok,” yet they don’t blend together as smoothly this time around.
22. Deadpool & Wolverine
In this film, the incredible camaraderie between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman is everything you’d expect. Their cameos are unexpected, even jaw-dropping. However, the narrative seems to stretch the limits of how much background information a movie can pack without becoming confusing. (It feels like each character has more than enough personal tragedy! This film certainly doesn’t shy away from it.) If you manage not to think too deeply about what’s happening on screen for even a moment, you’ll likely have an enjoyable experience. And the actors do a great job of portraying Deadpool and Wolverine reluctantly teaming up to save the Fox X-Men universe. You might find yourself wishing that the writers, including Reynolds himself, had provided a slightly more coherent storyline.
21. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
20. Avengers: Infinity War
This movie offers an impressive scale and a finale that’s truly memorable, but it seems there’s a certain depth missing for some viewers. If you’re primarily looking for high-octane action with witty dialogue, then this film might meet your expectations. However, if you prefer to delve into character development and the emotional bonds between characters, as well as moments of tranquility amidst the battles, this movie might not resonate as much with you. (Read more [here].)
19. Iron Man 3
As a movie enthusiast, I found the film to be generally enjoyable, yet it seemed slightly diminished by its association with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The storyline effectively led up to Tony Stark’s decision to abandon his Iron Man persona and ride off towards the sunset. However, it felt unsatisfying when he went on to star in several more films afterwards.
Guy Pearce’s portrayal of Killian was underwhelming, but I must admit that every interaction between Robert Downey Jr.’s character and the precocious youngster was top-notch.
18. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Initially, let me clarify: The climax, featuring dragons and monsters clashing in thick gray mist, is a disorganized CGI spectacle. Apart from that, Shang-Chi could be Marvel’s finest action film to date, boasting numerous thrilling and intricate fight sequences. (The bus fight scene is particularly enjoyable.) Simu Liu heads an impressively deep Marvel ensemble, with Tony Leung and Michelle Yeoh delivering nuanced supporting roles, and Ben Kingsley and Awkwafina consistently providing comic relief. (Kingsley as the former Mandarin Trevor Slattery, may not have been the most beloved Marvel antagonist initially, but Marvel has transformed him into a delightful secondary character.)
17. Thor
In an unexpected twist, we have a sprawling interstellar saga primarily unfolding in the tiniest town of New Mexico. Despite some flaws, as seen in Thor, this Marvel film marked a significant milestone. It was the first to showcase exceptional acting talent and captivating performances that managed to outshine structural and script problems – a trend that later became synonymous with Marvel productions. (Continue reading
16. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Ryan Coogler encountered an incredibly tough task while directing “Wakanda Forever”: Apart from creating a sequel that matched the excellence of “Black Panther”, he had to achieve this feat without Chadwick Boseman, our charismatic lead who tragically passed away during pre-production in summer 2020. The film succeeds best when it weaves Coogler and the cast’s feelings of loss for Boseman into the narrative of Wakanda grappling with their deceased king. Unfortunately, the remainder of the movie can be a bit disorganized; it’s filled with intriguing concepts, numerous characters, and a villain, Namor, who is somewhat unclear in his motives as an underwater ruler.
15. Captain America: Civil War
By using “wow” instead of “ZOMFG,” we have made the text less informal and more appropriate for a wider audience. Additionally, I have used “incredibly” to emphasize the thrill of the battle and replaced “so freaking great” with a more straightforward “thrilling.
14. Spider-Man: No Way Home
In Jon Watts’ third Spider-Man movie, we find a level of quality comparable to Sam Raimi’s third Spider-Man film. Both share a commonality of being packed with numerous villains. On the brighter side, this production effectively portrays the charm of Peter Parker as a character, someone who frequently stumbles but consistently strives for rectification in future attempts. It also introduces the multiverse into MCU films on a grand scale, making a significant mark in the series’ history.
Jon Watts’ third Spider-Man film matches up with Sam Raimi’s third Spider-Man film in terms of quality. They both feature excessive villains. However, one of the movie’s strengths lies in its accurate portrayal of Peter Parker as a character – someone who falls short but keeps pushing to get things right next time. Moreover, it significantly expands the multiverse within MCU films, reaching a significant milestone in the saga.
This version attempts to provide a more conversational tone while maintaining the original meaning and structure.
13. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
15 years later, director Sam Raimi made a comeback to the Marvel universe, delivering an exhilaratingly chaotic journey about a struggle for the survival of the multiverse. Similar to his previous Spider-Man movies, Raimi incorporated his unique style and visuals – such as humor with a twist, maniacal zombies, startling surprises – into the conventional Marvel template. (For further details, click here.)
12. Avengers: Age of Ultron
Even though this movie isn’t as great as the first “Avengers” film and the Wanda and Pietro storyline could use some work, the climactic sequence where the Avengers unite to save everyone in Sokovia is truly emblematic of Marvel at its finest. (You can read more about it here.)
11. Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2
The sequel of Marvel’s lighthearted franchise is excessively long with more than four post-credits scenes, yet it showcases audacity in tackling such a dramatic conclusion. It’s the only Marvel film that manages to make me shed tears, while still incorporating jokes about cosmic deity phallic references. In my opinion, this unique blend of emotions and humor makes for an unbeatable combination. (Continue reading here.)
10. Thor: Ragnarok
9. Spider-Man: Far From Home
In the second Spidey movie from Marvel, starring Tom Holland as the incredible web-slinger, the film takes a slight dip compared to its predecessor, yet it offers an abundance of romance, action, humor, and emotion. The phrase “with great power comes great responsibility” isn’t explicitly mentioned, but Far From Home delves deeply into this concept just like any other Spider-Man movie. Peter Parker, portrayed by Holland, grapples with his feelings for MJ (Zendaya, bringing a touch of humor to the role) and his orders from Nick Fury (a grumpy Samuel L. Jackson) to thwart a band of elemental villains.
8. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
James Gunn expertly concludes his Guardians trilogy with a film that perfectly blends the Marvel essence – grand action sequences, quirky sci-fi visuals, and deeply emotional characters we grow deeply attached to. By the end of Vol. 3, Rocket Raccoon transforms from a secondary Marvel character to one of the company’s most compelling and tragic heroes. After a series of less impressive films, Gunn effortlessly makes it seem simple. It’s unfortunate that he is now moving on to DC Studios.
7. Avengers: Endgame
A significant leap ahead from “Infinity War” and arguably the second-greatest Avengers film, this movie is packed with grandiose action sequences, numerous humorous moments, and potentially more Easter eggs than any film in any cinematic universe’s history. (Read more
OR
Significantly surpassing “Infinity War” and ranking as one of the best Avengers movies, this film offers an abundance of massive action scenes, lots of humor, and a possible record number of Easter eggs in any cinematic universe’s history. (Read more
6. Spider-Man: Homecoming
Among the most engaging Marvel Cinematic Universe films, this one boasts fascinating characters, exhilarating web-slinging action, and an unexpected street vendor requesting Spider-Man to perform a flip (which he does). Isn’t it thrilling?! (Continue reading here.)
5. Guardians of the Galaxy
Setting sail midstream in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), I found myself drawn to the unconventional band of misfits that were the first Guardians of the Galaxy. Arriving on the scene as a breath of fresh air, this film demonstrated that even characters with limited mainstream notoriety could captivate audiences under the Marvel Studios banner.
Before director James Gunn took the helm, these intergalactic adventurers were mere footnotes in the cosmic tapestry. Yet, Gunn masterfully transformed them into a cinematic sensation that left viewers eager for more. And while I understand that opinions on this matter may vary, allow me to state unequivocally and factually: Rocket is the best Guardian. Any arguments to the contrary are simply not worth entertaining. (For further insights, feel free to delve deeper here.)
4. Captain America: The First Avenger
Despite some issues with the narrative structure, as it condenses an entire war into a montage, Chris Evans’ portrayal of Captain America in this film stands out as one of the most effective character adaptations within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This movie transformed a character that was often criticized for being too bland or outdated into a dynamic, appealing, multidimensional individual embodying fundamental human qualities. If you’re seeking inspiration, this MCU film is worth watching. [Source: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/captain_america_the_first_avenger]
3. Black Panther
In contrast to many Marvel films that strive for extensive cosmic links, “Black Panther” demonstrates the merit of a more isolated strategy. The finale of the film, where Black Panther reveals Wakanda to the world and characters become available for future appearances elsewhere, is intended as a joyous conclusion. However, if this means the subsequent installment will be spread thin with numerous guest appearances, it might not be so delightful after all. (Read more here.)
2. The Avengers
As a dedicated movie buff, I must confess that even after the epic saga of Infinity War, the original Avengers film continues to leave me in awe. It’s as if the perfect balance between characters was an impossible miracle. The script is meticulously crafted, and the extended Battle of New York is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular action sequences of this century. (Read more here.)
1. Iron Man
The original film has yet to be surpassed in quality. Looking back, not being bound by a larger universe’s constraints made it a superior production. The scenes featuring Robert Downey Jr.’s character, Tony Stark, testing his armor and subsequently flying for the first time, more effectively convey the exhilaration of superpowers compared to any movie ever produced, whether by Marvel Studios or another studio.
