Agents of SHIELD is complete ignored by the film writers who wrote it. Nothing it in crossovers to the films I didn't watch the last series I can only name Coleson in the series then you have a bunch of nobodies forgettable characters.

Agents of Shield was the best thing in the MCU.

What MCU shows are on Disney Plus? Buggered if I can find a list of them all on the app.

So this is going to be the first real test of will audiences who havent watched the Disney+ shows be able to follow the plot or even bother to show up?
I mean technically Dr Strange 2 was the first, but it was just a chapter of Wandas story potentially missing from viewers and her state at the end of Infinity War kinda worked for where she was in Strange. Here two of the three characters have their origin stories in two different + shows.
Trailer looks good though.

Coo. Think that's the first time I've seen a Marvel trailer since Endgame that's made me sit up and pay attention. Nice!

Secret Invasion final episode...
Loses some of the threat to Nick Fury at the end of Secret Invasion when we see him alive and well in a trailer for the next movie.

Didn't bother with it. The glut of so many Marvel shows in a short period of time put me off. Keeping up began to feel like work. I'll stick with the films only.

I'm behind with them too. I haven't watched Moonknight or Hawkeye, but She Hulk is definitely a cut above any of the others. It's just fun. I watched Ms Marvel recently, which didn't click for me because I don't think I'm the target audience, but I stuck with it so I know what's going on with the next Captain Marvel film.
I miss the Netflix shows. I'd like more in that world.

Loved Ms Marvel. She Hulk was ok by the end. Hawkeye excellent. Secret Invasion.. felt like it was just setting stuff up for the future. A bit meh.

I wasn't completely sold on the wackadoo premise of Moon Knight, but Oscar Isaac is terrific and made it enjoyable.
Don't get the hate for She Hulk. It was fun, not every show needs to have a long running episode to episode plot with twists and surprises proving how smart the writers are.

Was She Hulk not well received then? I thought it was a great show. It's the only Marvel one I've really looked forward to (watching an episode a week as I do in my old-fashioned pre-millennial anti-binging ways).

I think She-Hulks problem, other than being a female led show in 2022, at least for me was that it was sold as being funnier than I thought it was.
It was a very good comedy drama in the Ally McBeal mould, it was not a super funny sitcom, which I feel is how it was marketed and possibly what they were going for.
Secret Invasion is just odd. I enjoyed the individual episodes, but it doest feel like I watched a complete story.

Hawkeye remains the standout of the D+ shows.

Seen:
WandaVision
Falcon & WS
Loki
Hawkeye
Moon Knight
She-Hulk (partially)
Favourite:
Moon Knight
Runner-up:
Hawkeye
But Agent Carter was as good as any of them in my opinion.

She-Hulk was fine.. but I think the marketing thought it would be a lot more popular than it was. It did develop over the series and finally hit its stride at the end. It seemed to be deliberately written this way as well. Bit odd.

I enjoyed She-Hulk, but then I was mostly in it for Tatiana Maslany doing character comedy - which is something she has a real knack for and it was pretty satisfying on that level.
I didn't bother with Secret Invasion, mostly through a certain amount of apathy but also through a suspicion that like Falcon and The Winter Soldier it would feint at actually engaging with a theme and then throw said theme into the bushes as the closing episodes approached. There's also the fact that the buzz about it being a "building block" in the Cinematic Universe has exactly the opposite effect on me to that which some people might expect. The whole "interconnected story"/"You need to watch everything" isn't really a selling point to me.
I liked Moon Knight because it just got on with telling its own, slightly unhinged, story - and mostly stuck its landing. It wasn't leaning on anything outside of itself, or bracing for something else to lean on it. Ms Marvel felt very much the same way - it was a pretty solid story of a young person finding themselves shoved into a hero role whilst also trying to define herself as a person.
Hawkeye I thought was...ok... Entertaining, a fun "legacy" interaction between young wannabe and experienced costumed crimefighter. Wasn't spectacular but pretty solid.
Werewolf by Night is the one I haven't seen more by accident than design - I keep planning to watch it but something else comes along and catches my attention instead. Most recently the Special Science Patrol, and the JSA of Blue Valley ended up with a prior call on my time.

The Marvels I'm looking forward to because it looks like it'll be a fun romp, that doesn't have too much overhead in terms of having to had seen other stuff. The trailer has a vibe of "there are these three superheroes right, and this person who wants revenge on one of them...and then complications ensue". Self-contained, straight-forward and with a fairly breezy tone. Hopefully without hopelessly portentious nonsense such as bogged down the middle reel of the second Doctor Strange film.
I'm hoping this will redress the balance after the turgid QuAntaMania...

I watched 2 episodes of Season 1 and it was decent but forgot to go back as I was put off by the sheer glut of Marvel shows. Sticking to the films only.

I enjoyed most of Season 1 of Loki. The "what right have you got to choose people's lives for them" idea was interesting, and the cast seemed to have decent chemistry. Then the last episode came along and was mostly "people stand in a room and pontificate", followed by "we are resetting the major developments back to a fairly similar status quo ending. That didn't help me feel disposed to watch another season. It felt very unsatisfying as a way to finish the season, and gave me no reason to feel invested in the next seasons story given how summarily it felt like the firsts was disposed of.
I think I'm very much of the same mind about this than I am about "Secret Invasion" - "this is a thing that exists". I can't say I'm particularly interested in watching it.

I got round to finishing Secret Invasion last night - thought it was alright actually, I'm not nearly as down on it as a lot of people on social media seem to be!
My daughter and I were going through what we thought of the series we've watched so far, and generally it was pretty positive. We were both fans of Wandavision, Hawkeye, and She-Hulk (which was a bit uneven, but again not remotely as bad as everyone seems to say).
Of the ones only I watched I thought Moon Knight was great, Falcon and the Winter Soldier had some really good episodes (though also some forgettable ones), and I loved Loki. Owen Wilson effectively playing Mark Gruenwald as one of the MCU's literal continuity cops was a surprise and a wonderful tribute, and I really liked the female Loki actress. It was a nice touch that they let her use her natural accent, not standard RP Asgardian English (though I'm slightly biased as it's effectively my accent, she grew up not far from me).
