10 things nobody wants to admit about Marvel and the MCU
By Cody Schultz
4. She-Hulk was brilliant
Of the Marvel Disney Plus shows, I don’t think any one show has received more unwarranted hate and criticism than She-Hulk.
I thoroughly enjoyed the first season of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Jessica Gao and the talented writing team successfully captured the essence and humor of Jen Walters / She-Hulk, while Tatiana Maslany delivered a superb performance in the title role, embodying the character with charm and humor.
The show was absolutely fantastic and a brilliant addition to the MCU, which was hated on by so many fans who cried “woke” and tried to cover their toxic masculinity with complaints about the show’s CGI.
5. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is underrated
When many rank the MCU shows, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier somehow always tend to end up toward the bottom of most lists. Arguments for why the show ranks so low vary with some calling the show underdeveloped and predictable.
Let’s get one thing clear right away, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier was never meant to be an award-winning drama. It was meant to be an over-the-top action thriller and that’s exactly what it was.
The series perfectly balances amazing action sequences with incredible buddy-comedy elements which highlights the incredible chemistry shared by Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan. Mackie and Stan inject the perfect blend of humor into the show to help balance the heavy topics the show focuses including race and terrorism.
It’s such a fun show and was one of the few Marvel series that had a clear sense of direction in building toward the fourth Captain America movie.
