I'm rewatching the MCU movies to prepare for Doomsday, but I have a huge question about the TV series. Series like Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Agatha, and Echo don't appeal to me at all. Are they really worth it?
I stopped tuning into the Marvel shows after Secret Invasion. There were some before it that I skipped because I already knew they wouldn’t be my taste, but Secret Invasion was just terrible beyond words.

Fair. I will say that some of the shows they did after weren't that bad.
wild-shart2026-01-10 04:59
Loki is a must watch but rest are okay
eagc72026-01-10 05:00
It depends on your own personal taste, or heck for all we know one of these shows may work for you.
But if you want to know what shows are really important to the overall multiverse narrative going to Doomsday (or at the very least part of the narrative of some of the characters in that movie) it would be
WandaVision - Falcon and the Winter Soldier - Loki S1 and 2 - Hawkeye - Ms. Marvel (as it ties to The Marvels which has an Doomsday/SW tie in) - Agatha (its tied to the overall Wanda story from Multiverse of Madness and WandaVision and has a character that we are going to see more of in the future)
The rest are largely standalone for now, but do note that we may see some of the other TV character pop out now and then

>Ms. Marvel (as it ties to The Marvels which has an Doomsday/SW tie in)
Probably not, none of the characters from The Marvels aside from Samuel Jackson are in the cast list.
Disney probably doesn't want a message of "You have to watch The Marvels to watch Doomsday" given how badly it performed in theaters and Disney+. I strongly suspect they just dropped it.
eagc72026-01-10 05:55
Just adding it to be safe, assuming the Beast we see in Doomsday is that same Beast from The Marvels.
Also a little correction neither Sam Jackson is in Doomsday current cast list
MorguLAvenger2026-01-10 05:01
Loki is A++. I quite enjoyed Hawkeye as well
MorguLAvenger2026-01-10 05:01
Wandavision is also excellent
radikraze2026-01-10 05:01
I think all of them have reasons to watch and form your own opinion. Except secret invasion. It’s ass
rubyschnees2026-01-10 05:01
> Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Agatha, and Echo
sensing a pattern here...
CommunityDragon1842026-01-10 05:02
The only thing marvel has made that is not worth watching is secret invasion tho tbh I don’t mind the first half of the show that much
Echo you can skip. It’s not bad but it’s not worth going out of your way and preferences if it doesn’t draw you in
TehGameChanger2026-01-10 05:02
I've watched all the MCU shows from D+ except for Daredevil and the What If.. series. I think most of them have good parts and bad parts. Except for Secret Invasion, I'd recommend absolutely not watching that even if your life depended on it. She-Hulk brought us Wongers, Ms.Marvel taught about the separation of India and Pakistan, Iron Heart brought Mephisto, Echo was forgettable, Hawkeye is probably one of the best shows they released, and Agatha All Along is a decent sequel to Wandavision but I'll wait till Visionquest is out so I can judge the trilogy as a whole.
Edit: I forgot about Moon Knight. Falcon and the winter soldier, and Loki. Loki is a must watch for Doomsday and the MCU in general. Moon Knight is a fun show with an interesting take on less is more. Falcon and the Winter Soldier ties in with the MCU so it's a definite watch, is it enjoyable? That's up to one's opinion.
Jess_UY252026-01-10 05:02
Avoid Secret Invasion, but all the rest are pretty decent, with some better than others.
dangerzonerob2026-01-10 05:02
Agents of Shield and Legion are excellent.
BenjyX762026-01-10 05:02
I've seen them all..
If you wanna get the characters full story and their connection to the mcu, I'd say yea.
But most of the series are mid or less than that.. but its up to your own view. You'll like w.e you like and thats fine
SirFlibble2026-01-10 05:03
Depends on what type of shows you enjoy.
Ms Marvel is a teenage coming of age story
She-Hulk is a comedy
Agatha is about witches and magic
Echo is the story of a woman reconnecting with her family and culture
Not everything is for everyone, so watch stuff which might interest you. Or if you watch the first episode and it doesn't work for you, don't force yourself to watch it.
Also don't watch Secret Invasion, it's terrible.
If you are preparing for Doomsday specifically, probably only Loki is actually important.
AquaFatha2026-01-10 05:04
I rewatch She Hulk a lot 👀
EarthboundMan52026-01-10 05:04
Ms. Marvel is pretty good. Of the 4 you listed, none of them are really confirmed to lead into Doomsday at the moment, but I'd say Ms. Marvel is the likeliest to tie in.

Don’t skip Wanda Vision!
Reddit-User-Says2026-01-10 05:23
I should say, I watched them all. I just don’t think it’s something he’d enjoy. Or need for Doomsday.
inthehxightse2026-01-10 05:07
Assuming you're down to watch the shows you did not mention,
-Ms Marvel is a good intro to the character and leads into The Marvels (introduces the xmen universe, sets up Young Avengers) and Zombies (Kamala is a main character).
-Agatha leads into Vision Quest.
-Echo sets up Fisk and intros Daredevil for DDBA.
-She-Hulk sets up the next Hulk project
-Ironheart sets up Strange Academy and possibly Armor Wars if thats still happening
None of them besides possibly Ms Marvel (by way of The Marvels) will tie into Doomsday. The Loki show will contribute the most to the Doomsday lead up
So_Quiet2026-01-10 05:10
For those specifically, I loved She-Hulk but it doesn't affect much across the MCU so you can probably skip it (though you're missing out). Ms. Marvel is important for that character in The Marvels (and the actress is adorable). Agatha will probably lead to more and is a fantastic show; honestly, you might be surprised by it. I did not watch Echo so can't comment there.
I've watched most of the Disney+ shows (minus Echo, the new season of Daredevil, and half of Ironheart), and the only one I regret watching is Secret Invasion; avoid that one as it actively makes related plotlines worse.
Grand_Toast_Dad2026-01-10 05:12
Yes, I'd say they are. They aren't masterpieces, just goofy fun with some great themes and scenes. Even She-Hulk ended up being something I'd like, especially on a rewatch.
Giantrobby19962026-01-10 05:12
It’s hard to say what series would be most relevant to Doomsday since e it’s a year away and we don’t know who in all are gonna be in it. I’d pay attention to IMDb to see who’s already confirmed and let that help draw your roadmap.
Another note to make is that some series are relevant to Doomsday by way of a flowchart involving other movies that are more relevant. Like Falcon and Winter Soldier don’t directly set up Doomsday but it sets up Captain America: Brand New Day and Thunderbolts; two movies that do help set characters up for Doomsday.
Edit: Loki might be relevant to Doomsday since I heard a rumor that one of the rising actions of Doomsday would involve Dr Doom supplanting the Kamgs for powerscaling; which for Marvel would also be symbolic since Doomsday was a hasty replacement for Kang Dynasty
mrdalo2026-01-10 05:14
Secret Invasion is hot garbage and IMO never happened.
The rest are solid but I didn’t care for Echo.
albiceleste3stars2026-01-10 05:24
Netflix 100% are worth it. Will not prepare you for doomsday but they are fantastic, especially DD, Pun, SE1 JJ
