Have the Marvel TV shows been a success?

I really liked the Netflix shows. They got a little more flawed as they ran out of gas, but I liked the grittier, uglier world. They almost all had the same issue of languishing mid-season with filler episodes. If they could have been as short as the Disney + shows, it would have helped. Nonetheless, I liked them all to varying degrees. Wilson Fisk in Daredevil was a great character. Matt Murdoch was appropriately self-righteous and not always right or sympathetic. Jessica Jones was great, or at least the first season was. Luke Cage had some great side characters. I didn't like Iron Fist, though admittedly he and his show got a little better in the second season. The second season of Iron Fist was better, though I didn't like what they did with Colleen. I just didn't understand her logic that to train Danny Rand back to health, she had to give up their relationship.

I thought Punisher was badass too. The camera loves the back of Jon Bernthal's head. Ben what's his face was a good villain and I liked Agent Madani a lot. It's a shame she doesn't turn up in the regular rankings of top female MCU characters. Even the top female MCU Netflix characters, she never seems to make the list. Why? There's barely 10 characters to fill the list. Speaking of which, I also liked Trish from Jessica Jones. She's a good actor, and beautiful. She should be in more things.

The Disney + shows are all fine. I don't need to watch WandaVision or Falcon and the Winter Soldier too many times to know the gist. They were both good the first time. WV was a slower burn. I thought it made great points about trauma, loss, escapism, et cetera. FATWS was good too. I didn't think it was as smartly conceived as WV, though it does have more entertainment value with the action. I liked Karli Morgenthau quite a bit.

Loki is the crown jewel so far of Disney + MCU so far (if you haven't seen What If, which I haven't). By now, it's not difficult to suss out the formulas. It's only a matter of time before the Time Enforcement Agency is exposed as corrupt. It's practically a given. How is the question. I like its castle at the end of time imagery. Clown/trickster Gods are a thing in Norse mythology. I think it's to laugh at the futility of permanence by having a clown show up at the end of the universe. It's kind of a far out there interpretation, but who's there at multiple Armageddons? Loki. Various Loki's. I think that's a real nod to Norse mythology sneaked into the show.

I loved the first season of Agent Carter. Haven't gotten to the second one. Haven't seen a single episode of Agents of SHIELD or What If. I think that's it. Oh and I saw a few episodes of that M.O.D.O.K. show. It was suspiciously hilarious.

Whoopsie, I meant Time Variance Authority.

Right! How could I forget that one. Hahn was amazing and that song is catchy as fuck
