It’s hard to imagine any Marvel live action falling in the category of underrated these days. With the amount of attention that does get heaped onto anything that Marvel produces, you would imagine if one of their shows was genuinely good then everyone would give it the love it deserved. Yet, it has to be said that Runaways doesn’t get as much mention as it probably should.

The show stars a group of teenage superheroes who had been totally unaware of their powers. However their hidden abilities soon start manifesting when they reunite after spending a significant period of time apart from one another.

It is also during said reunion they discover a secret basement where their parents, who had their own group, were gathered. What’s more, they happened to be in the middle of a ritualistic human sacrifice.

This kicks off the expected battle of good vs evil as the titular group must now face off and defeat their evil parents, collectively known as the Pride.

Action packed, emotionally relatable and the timeless formula of young heroes showing wisdom beyond their years, this was everything you would desire in a fantasy getaway.

After battling Galactus and pinning Hulk Hogan in the main event of Wrestlemania, I've taken a break from living in fantasy worlds, to focus on writing about them. I'm a comic book geek, a wrestling mark, a break dancer, and a scientist. One of those things may not be true.
