The TV side of Phase 5 of the MCU is off to a very inauspicious start. Marvel's Secret Invasion just wrapped up its 6-episode run and it currently ranks as the lowest-scored Marvel television show on Rotten Tomatoes.

  1. Ms. Marvel 98%-critics; 80%- audience score
  2. What If...? 94%- critics; 93% audience score
  3. Loki 92% - critics; 90% audience score 
  4. Hawkeye 92%- critics; 89% audience score
  5. WandaVision 91%-critics; 88%- audience score
  6. Moon Knight 86% - critics; 89% audience score
  7. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier 84%-critics; 82%- audience score
  8.  She-Hulk: Attorney at Law 77%-critics; 32% audience score
  9. Secret Invasion 60% - critics; 66% audience score

Over on Metacritic, the rankings are more or less the same, with Ms. Marvel taking the top slot once again, however, What If...? falls from #2 down to #6, while WandaVision moves up from #5 to #2.

  1. Ms. Marvel - 78 score
  2. WandaVision - 77 socre
  3. Loki -74 score
  4. Falcon and the Winter Soldier - 74 score
  5. Moon Knight - 69 score
  6. What If...?  - 69 score
  7. She-Hulk: Attorney at Law - 67 score
  8. Hawekeye - 66 score
  9. Secret Invasion - 63 score

It doesn't bode well for Marvel's television future that the two most recently released MCU shows, She-Hulk and Secret Invasion, are the first Marvel shows to dip below the 80% mark. Secret Invasion is also reportedly one of the MCU's lowest-watched Disney+ shows to date while also being one of its most expensive to produce.

Thankfully, Loki season 2 is the next MCU show on the horizon, and it should right the ship as long as it allows Tom Hiddleston and Sophia Di Martino to shine.

Things get a little murkier after Loki season 2, as the next MCU shows to hit Disney+ are currently Echo, Ironheart, and Agatha: Coven of Chaos.

Also in development are an untitled Wakanda spinoff, Marvel Zombies, Wonder Man, and Vision Quest. But given Disney CEO Bob Iger's recent comments that Marvel Studios may be stretching themselves too thin, one has to wonder if some of these in-development shows get the axe.

@GhostDog - It definitely wasn't the best, but it had some moments that i dug. The dialogue and chemistry between Jackson and Mendelsohn was great, Olivia Coleman was a scene stealer in every single appearance and Kngsley Ben-Adir gave a hell of a performance from his usual quiet reserved type. He also elevated this villian more than it was probably written to be. I kind of wished he would have been used as another big bad. But there's always the DC reboots coming...as long as he doesn't get super in demand after he's won an Oscar for playing Bob Marley, lol.

Sam Jackson is old though and it's really showing, credit to him to committing to it though, but I just can't buy it anymore that he's that physically intimidating for the antagonists to get past.

@UniqNo - It had bright spots but the bright spots being enough is getting tiresome for me.

Moon Knight started off well and had bright spots. Then it became rushed at the end. Everything outside of Loki and WandaVision has been a swell of scattered bright spots in a banal ocean.

Adir is my pick for either The Question or Bronze Tiger (if they can't get a more marital arts inclined actor)

Damn , that sucks it’s gotten a somewhat mixed response but oh well.

I haven’t seen the finale yet but I was liking the show…

Sure it wasn’t the epic event that the comic was but as a more intimate character showcase for characters such as Fury , I was enjoying it but that’s just me.



Anyway , I have enjoyed all the shows to varying extents personally with What If and She Hulk probably being my 2 least favorites.

@TheVisionary25 - the finale was not good I felt like they could have left a lot of things unsaid or undone and it will have been better....loved it till episode 4....the fighting and death was well earned but what they did with the last 2 episodes not good.... short and rushed

What a horrible show and such a wasted opportunity and wasted great comic book story.

Marvel was much better with Perlmutter keeping Feige in check.

"Marvel was much better with Perlmutter keeping Feige in check."

LMAO. What is it that you think Ike Perlmutter did at Marvel Studios?

@regularmovieguy - He ran Marvel until Age of Ultron.
Feige came up with ideas, but Perlmutter was the one giving the red or green light...is the reason we never got Captain Marvel or Black Panther until he left (he though movies with a female or black lead wouldnt sell), but on the other hand, he obviously had a cold head, and wont aprove shit like the Agatha show.

@TheHumanSpider2

It goes beyond adding more diversity into the movies, dude was cheap and didn’t want to extend RDJ’s contract to include Civil War.

I’m not saying Feige isn’t very responsible for the shows we’re getting now but Disney+ was also Iger’s and Disney’s brainchild. They all share responsibility for the influx of mediocre content we’re getting. But saying Perlmutter kept a leash on Feige and made good decisions at the company is laughable.

@regularmovieguy - He was cheap, racist, and mysoginist, but its undeniable the MCU's decline started after they started releasing stuff he didnt greenlight.

Perlmutter was in charge of the MCU until 2015, he obviously took some good choices, and Disney+ debacle was aaaaaaall Feige.

@regularmovieguy - (btw, Perlmurter was the one who wanted to fire everyone except RDJ after the first Avengers movie came out, so dont get me wrong, he was an idiot)

"but its undeniable the MCU's decline started after they started releasing stuff he didnt greenlight."

Their decline arguably didn't start until after Endgame... and that was long after Ike had any hand in Marvel. You could argue Marvel's best years was completely without Perlmutter, lmao.

@regularmovieguy - Endgame (as "Infinity War - Part 2") was announced in 2015, with Perlmutter still in charge (the final battle in that movie started development in 2016, before there was even a script).

With the exception of Black Panther and Captain Marvel, the entirity of Phase 3 was greenlighted under Perlmutter...and nobody will admit it know, but back in 2017, Black Panther was considered a huuuuuuuuuuge gamble.

@TheHumanSpider2

I can't believe there's actually dudes here simping Ike Perlmutter. You're acting like "greenlighting" Avengers 3 and 4 is some 4D-chess shit and not some no-brainer decision making, lmao.

Also.. Black Panther and Captain Marvel both grossed a billion dollars at the height of Marvel's popularity and when Ike Perlmutter had been ousted 3 years prior. Just stop. It's not like Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the MCU were anything special to begin with.

OMG Serious MCU Fanboys get HIGHLY offended when ANYTHING negative is said about Marvel Studios. They like to stay in their SAFE SPACE.where all is well. It's IMPOSSIBLE to have a real conversation about problems with Marvel Studios content

@JohnShaft - Sometimes that is true, but it sure seems on this site many people have said this show wasn’t good, including people who are very pro-MCU.
