Sitting here glancing through the list of posts and getting ready to tee up Moon Night, it strikes me that I have not written a thing about the exceptional work that Marvel has put out on Disney +.
I thought the Marvel shows on Netflix were mostly excellent if a little too mature for Disney, so it I was not surprised that I have really enjoyed all of the Disney+ shows.
Wandavision was a quirky, experimental exploration of grief and regret. The introduction of Monica Rambeau felt a little tossed in, but other than that it was a great exploration of Wanda and Vision. It definitely set up Wanda for big things in future Marvel projects.
Falcon and the Winter Soldier, while not innovative, was a solid action, spy thriller. It did not shy away from tough topics like PTSD or racism which was nice to see. The ending was a little too open ended for my tastes since it clearly was setting up more movies than another season.
Loki was just a blast. It managed to both set itself up for a season two and set up Marvel's future while just being a crazy romp.
Hawkeye was the least innovative of the crop, but showed that sticking to basics can be great. I loved that it allowed Clint some room to shine and allowed him to pass the torch while still just having an ending. The entire cast played off of each other so well. Clint and Kate as chalk and cheese. He the tired veteran who just wants to get home for Christmas and her the over eager newbie. Kate and Yellena also make a great pair. The scene in Kate's apartment was a classic.
I hope Moon Night is just as good.
