Ranking Every 2017 Comic Book TV Show Worst To Best

24. Guardians Of The Galaxy

Much like Avengers Assemble, Guardians of the Galaxy makes little effort to differentiate itself from its cinematic counterpart.

Visually and narratively, it is indistinct from James Gunn's films, and while again, yes, that's not exactly a bad thing, it squanders yet another opportunity to have its own identity separate too the MCU.

It’s just a far cry away from the animation that was being produced after Batman: The Animated Series set the bar in the nineties, and fairly blatant with how content it is to be a tie-in and little else.

Indicative of Marvel’s lax approach to animation, Guardians does nothing wrong and yet still somehow manages to get everything wrong in doing so, daring to be nothing and exemplifying the ever-widening gap between Marvel and DC when it comes to animation.
