Created by showrunner Joe Posaki for Freeform, the series follows the titular heroes-in-the-making as they gain superpowers from dramatic events and run away from home.Īnd while these two heroes aren’t especially prolific characters in the source material, it’s arguably part of Cloak & Dagger‘s strength.
#GIFTED FULL MOVIE 2017 TV#
Released around the time of the MCU Netflix original TV shows (with some vague shared continuity between them), Cloak & Dagger is the live-action debut of the Marvel Comics characters of the same name.
Marvel Animated Features’ Planet Hulk is available to purchase in Blu-ray and DVD format on Amazon. Planet Hulk centers around the titular hero - after being banished by the Avengers - being sent to a warrior-driven planet ruled by a despotic king, enslaved, and hellbent on making his way back to Earth to exact his revenge. The source material will likely always be the preferred version of this saga, but Marvel Animated Features’ movie adaptation is an admirable alternative. Many veteran comic book readers will likely be hoping for some adaptation of Greg Pak and Carlo Pagulayan’s lauded Planet Hulk story arc.
Thor: Ragnarokfelt like a wasted opportunity in that regard and, so far, rumblings of the rumored World War Hulk movie haven’t come to fruition. Long-time fans are still waiting for the Hulk to get his deserved shot at the spotlight in another solo movie. It also allows for some intimate character development and social commentary on the persecution of the perceived “other.” It’s both poignant and keeping in the spirit of X-Men’s most popular themes.įox’s The Gifted is available to stream now on Hulu. Though it was canceled after two seasons, the stories that The Gifted told were a refreshing and grounded approach to these kinds of characters. Set in another spin-off timeline from Fox’s main X-Men productions, this TV series is set in a continuity where Charles Xavier’s iconic mutant team is gone. Especially so considering it will be some time before their MCU debut. While it doesn’t hit the same highs as the genre-bending Legion, Matt Nix’s The Gifted is another worthy shoutout for fans wanting more X-Men content. Just as well, this period-piece approach was a creative use of worldbuilding.ĪBC’s Agent Carter is available to stream now on Disney+. Agent Carter features plenty of espionage-themed drama that does justice to Peggy by fleshing her out as a well-rounded character outside of Captain America’s circle. Set against the backdrop of the United States in the 1940s, Peggy Carter secretly works for Howard Stark in an exciting spin on the comic book genre on TV. The show’s two seasons expand upon the canon established theatrically, namely from Steve Rodgers’ corner of the world in 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger. Agent Carter (2015-2016)Īside from Daredevil, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely’s Agent Carter is another of the best MCU-set shows to get an unfortunate cancellation. Its combination of striking cinematography, use of musical numbers, and engrossing character arcs make for one of the greatest explorations of mental health in the genre.įX’s Legion is available to stream now on Hulu. Legion still stands as Marvel’s most ambitious show, with David Haller providing a captivating and unique perspective for this inventive “superhero” story.
It’s neither part of the MCU nor Fox’s theatrical X-Men movies pre-Disney acquisition, and it follows the dangerously powerful mutant son of Charles Xavier. Helmed by praised Fargo showrunner Noah Hawley, this TV series is set within a specific and interesting space in the wider Marvel universe. Perhaps the best of Marvel’s out-of-MCU-continuity shows is the FX-produced X-Men spinoff Legion.
