10 Times The MCU Gave Fans EXACTLY What They Wanted (And They Hated It)

Are the Netflix TV shows technically MCU canon? Are they not? Marvel Studios have largely ignored them in the past, but with Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio reprising their roles in Spider-Man: No Way Home and Hawkeye respectively, before coming back together in Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+, it feels like they are part of the family.

Daredevil is critically acclaimed, and there is a reason why fans are so excited for his return. Jessica Jones was also a fantastic series, and even though Luke Cage and Iron Fist were underwhelming, The Defenders was very highly anticipated.

The movies had the Avengers, Netflix had the Defenders, and the response from audiences couldn’t have been further from each other. People loved the Avengers, but the Defenders… not so much. There was one outstanding scene - of course it was a fight scene in a hallway - but other than this the series was poor.

It was as close to boring as Marvel has come in a very long time, and Sigourney Weaver as the villain was utterly wasted. Billing her as the main antagonist before swapping her out for the underwhelming Elektra was not a smart move, and it’s no real surprise the entire franchise was put to bed before the heroes ever came together again.
