As Marvel continues to be in our zeitgeist and has some of the most popular escapist content, they have now moved from the silver screens to our television screens with 5 great shows. Interesting, many of these shows have surprising twists with a secret villain - whether it was Sharon Carter, “He Who Remains”, Kingpin or Agatha Harkness – although we can consider Wanda Maximoff a villain owing to what she did in Westview in VandaVision.

Narratively, we find the “What If?” show most compelling as the animated series re-worked stories we were familiar with and reinvented them without having to follow any particular arcs from the Marvel cinematic universe. Creating realistic and relatable characters in these shows also mean that the big bad is not outright evil or power hungry but more of an antihero, a victim to their flawed beliefs. Even though we are suffering a bit of superhero fatigue right now, we are still immensely enjoying the stories and characters the MCU is churning out. Here’s looking towards more great content in 2022!
