Marvel's small-screen adaptations have a rich history, from the classic "Incredible Hulk" to the Netflix series featuring Daredevil and Luke Cage. While previous attempts to integrate live-action TV shows into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) had mixed results, Marvel Studios launched a new era in 2021 with Disney+. This initiative saw the release of interconnected series deeply tied to the successful film franchise.

With the recent addition of "Spider-Man: Freshman Year," the 13th Disney+ Marvel show in four years, we've compiled a ranking of the preceding 12 series. This ranking aggregates the opinions of IGN's Marvel experts. "Spider-Man: Freshman Year"'s placement will be added upon the series' conclusion.

Disney+ Marvel TV Shows Ranked

12. Secret Invasion

"Secret Invasion," based on a pivotal Marvel Comics storyline, unfortunately underwhelmed. Director Ali Selim's admission of not reading the source material contributed to a disconnect. While the MCU has successfully reimagined stories, "Secret Invasion" lacked a compelling vision. Its attempt to emulate "Captain America: The Winter Soldier"'s espionage tone fell short due to slow pacing, a jarring AI-generated opening, and questionable narrative choices.

11. Echo

A significant improvement over "Secret Invasion," "Echo" still ranks lower due to a shortened episode count leaving some viewers wanting more. Alaqua Cox's portrayal of the deaf Cheyenne superhero is compelling, and the series boasts impressive action sequences, including a standout fight with Daredevil. Its groundbreaking representation of Indigenous creatives is a notable positive.

10. Moon Knight

Starring Oscar Isaac, "Moon Knight" blends surrealism with action, exploring the multiple personalities of Marc Spector. While featuring strong performances from Isaac, May Calamawy (Scarlet Scarab), F. Murray Abraham (Khonshu), and Ethan Hawke (Dr. Arthur Harrow), it didn't resonate strongly enough with viewers to achieve a higher ranking.

9. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

Despite the on-screen chemistry between Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan, "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" faced challenges. Murky morality, over-reliance on the Blip storyline, and a focus on espionage rather than action hampered its overall reception. Production delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic may have also impacted the final product. Nevertheless, its narrative elements are crucial to the current MCU landscape.
