I’m currently watching the Multiverse Saga

I’m currently watching the Multiverse Saga in release order. I’ve already watched WandaVision, the Falcon and the Winter Soldier and just finished Loki (Season 1) which was amazingly good. I have enjoyed all the 3 shows so far and i found them very entertaining. Will the movies and shows continue to be this good? I’ve seen a lot of negative comments that’s what I wanted to ask

Loki season 2 is incredible! I loved season 1, but season 2 was even better IMO!

evapotranspire2026-01-16 21:27

I personally liked Loki Season 1 better, but I loved them both!

FieryBrontosaurus1202026-01-16 18:16

The quality goes up and down, but at the end of the day, I think you should decide what you like/dislike. Don't worry about the negative comments.

Personally I've enjoyed most of the projects with little to complain about, but it can't be denied that a lot of projects could've been handled way better. As a first-time viewer tho, I think u should give it a go and see what you feel about it. I'd love to hear your reactions to the rest

It fluctuates a lot in the multiverse saga. There’s been a string of Good/Bad/Good/Bad from public’s perception. Many think FF and Thunderbolts broke the curse.

But I’m with you, I generally enjoy most of them with minor instances of disappointment. Even the ones received poorly. (except Secret Invasion - that show was hot garbage)

FieryBrontosaurus1202026-01-17 17:33

Exactly same opinion. When it comes to the things that i enjoy (the mcu for example), I'm not hyper critical on everything. I have my gripes, but it doesn't take much to impress me. Now I'm not saying that that is the quality that they should aim for, it's just that I'll probably be happy anyways with what we get

NotopianX2026-01-16 18:22

The Multiverse saga is all over the place in terms of quality. A couple series/movies are atrociously bad while some others are top tier Marvel stories. Most of it is watchable.

Hank_Scorpio30602026-01-16 18:47

Secret invasion is the only one that is bad

NotopianX2026-01-16 18:56

I’m glad you were able to enjoy Ironheart, Cap4 and She-Hulk because I definitely was not.

NegativeHospital78752026-01-16 19:58

She-Hulk was great.

Beholdmynnutz2026-01-16 20:03

I’m glad you enjoyed it.

lordmarboo132026-01-17 04:39

You're named after a Simpsons character that brought out a flamethrower when he got mad lol. Is this guy supposed to only like these shows ?

MrShaytoon2026-01-16 21:46

Im really hoping that show was just one giant seed planted based on the events thatl payoff by secret wars

skhan172026-01-16 18:23

I would say to skip: Any animated project (some are good but none are important) Eternals, She-Hulk, Moon Knight (it's good but isn't likely to return), Secret Invasion, The Marvels (kind of, at least watch the ending), Ant-man 3 (if you want a feel for Cassie you can, but not necessary), Echo, Captain America: Brave New World (I liked it but most don't. It also isn't that important, unless u really liked TFATWS) and Iron-heart.

As for bad but essential movies like Thor: Love and Thunder, I would try to watch popular fan edits like the less silly edition. And any tv to movie edit you can find. More often than not are better. Like Hawkeye: Carol of the Bows and Miss. Marvel: Ice-cream pizza cut.

I feel like this will make you maybe even like the multiverse saga, although no retooling will make it better than the Infinity Saga unfortunately.

Hank_Scorpio30602026-01-16 18:48

Just for the record, and I have good authority on this, no one should take your advice EVER

Ordinary-Chain-80472026-01-16 18:50

Agree about watching fan edits most of them are way better than the OG

RedHawk_942026-01-16 19:17

OP whatever you do DO NOT follow this personals advice

Beholdmynnutz2026-01-16 19:53

Ignore this mf I stopped reading as soon as I saw Eternals here

skhan172026-01-16 20:07

Whether you think it's good or not, it's comoletely irrelevant, especially if u cut out brave new world which is also irrelevant. I like both but they don't contribute.

Beholdmynnutz2026-01-16 20:17

Brave New World was terrible, not at all what anybody hoped for when we saw the trailers. But both Eternals and BNW are essential to what is going on. It's 2 of the 3 instances that help explain the FULL ASS CELESTIAL sticking out of the ocean. The OP didn't ask about what was relevant or not, but rather if the quality stays good or not. Your post actively states to skip crucial storylines that you think are pointless.

skhan172026-01-16 21:23

The celestial plot line only affects BNW so if you skip that you don't need to watch Eternals.

Beholdmynnutz2026-01-16 21:24

It's going to be addressed in Doomsday in some way. And it's brought up in Thunderbolts*.

evapotranspire2026-01-16 21:29

I don't think BNW was terrible. My son and I enjoyed it quite a bit in the theater. I wouldn't put it in the top tier of Marvel movies, but rather somewhere solidly in the middle - it's about a 6.5/10 or 7/10 for me. I thought it was way better than Quantumania, Love and Thunder, and Multiverse of Madness (none of which I am willing to watch again, whereas I'd be happy to watch BNW again).

Beholdmynnutz2026-01-16 20:20

You also said to skip Moonknight, but why would you tell someone to skip one of the 3 best Disney+ Marvel shows? It won't get a season 2 but Moonknight will be in a movie at some point because he's a very popular character.

skhan172026-01-16 21:24

I'm pretty sure Oscar Isaac said he's never worling with Disney again. Also if you're a fan of Moon Knight the show is a disaster.

Beholdmynnutz2026-01-16 21:25

It's not as much of a disaster as She-Hulk. Definitely not skip-worthy.

Beholdmynnutz2026-01-16 21:25

Also I never said Oscar Isaac, I said Moon Knight.

Jenkes_of_Wolverton2026-01-17 11:32

Actors say many things which turn out different later. Oscar is a very busy person and wasn't tied into any long term contract. At this stage of his career he can choose whether he wants to be in a project, and some variety was his priority. It's unlikely he would be so stubborn to refuse a big paycheck for an interesting storyline.

tikkaburrito2026-01-16 18:25

Some good movies and some bad ones, but in the end it's up to you to judge. Enjoy without being influenced by others.

dbkenny4262026-01-16 18:28

There are highs and lows, but I mostly enjoyed everything. Even the worst production (Secret Invasion) still had some great acting and fun moments.

Hank_Scorpio30602026-01-16 18:48

Are you allowed to say that on the internet

dbkenny4262026-01-16 18:49

Huh. I was expecting at least five downvotes by now for daring to say that even "bad" things can have good aspects.

Beholdmynnutz2026-01-16 19:51

Secret Wars was still better than The Marvels lmao

dbkenny4262026-01-16 19:54

You mean Secret Invasion? Nah, The Marvels was a ton of fun! I had a blast watching it! Secret invasion was... sort of okay with some really good stuff thrown in. But The Marvels was a hell of a fun ride through most of the movie. And the dynamic between the three leads was great! Fairly forgettable villain, but otherwise, I loved it!

Beholdmynnutz2026-01-16 19:57

I did mean invasion (I'm getting overly hyped way too early here) but nah dude I think they fumbled that shit so hard. Between Marvels and Ironheart (neither of which I could actually sit through all of) I ended up just abandoning hope for the MCU until I saw Daredevil: Born Again.

dbkenny4262026-01-16 21:20

I disagree (Ironheart was okay mostly, but it's definitely towards the bottom), but to each their own.

Beholdmynnutz2026-01-16 21:22

It's not that the show was bad, but the script was. They made her too whiny for me and I couldn't stand it.

dbkenny4262026-01-16 21:22

I can get that. She's far from my favorite character.

sw3ar2026-01-16 18:33

Loki 2 is peak

evapotranspire2026-01-16 21:29

Yes, DEFINITELY watch Loki S2, OP! In terms of plot points, it may the most important thing to catch up on before Doomsday. It's also a really well-done show.

nazia9872026-01-16 18:57

Personally I loved all of phase 4. That's just me though. People's opinions differ and there are some projects that were better recurved than others, but it's generally decent. The only issue is that it's a bit directionless and slightly overwhelming. Phase 4 has a longer runtime than phases 1-3 combined.

Phase 5 has had a few misses. Secret Invasion, Ant Man Quantumania and Captain America 4 are all projects that I've actively disliked. But it's also had some hits too.

Practical-Debate15982026-01-16 18:59

Hawkeye is the best

Practical-Debate15982026-01-16 19:00

AttilaTheFun8182026-01-16 19:08

I thought Loki Season 2 was equally good as the first.

Hawkeye was a pleasant surprise. I went into that with very low expectations but really enjoyed it.

Moon Knight is just dumbass fun. Oscar Isaac is a treat to watch and F Murray Abraham was clearly having fun in his VO work.

Haven’t seen the others yet so cannot speak to them.

RedHawk_942026-01-16 19:17

Go through it and form your own opinions! Remember there was a pandemic, writers and actors strikes, and a fox acquisition that happened during the multiverse saga so if the quality seems to dip at any point for you, take those issues into consideration.

Wooden-Radish-90082026-01-16 19:18

I enjoy pretty much everything to varying degrees. Just form your own opinion. I've learned to not rely on this sub (or the internet in general) for worthwhile opinions. Critical thinking and observation are kind of at all time lows and people are becoming less effective in separating what a piece of media is trying to accomplish and what they personally believe it should be.

Tl;dr I like pretty much all of it. Have fun. Form your own opinion.

TheAgmis2026-01-16 19:29

Make your own opinion. I learned the internet always hates what’s new and laments what’s old.

NegativeHospital78752026-01-16 19:56

I thought everything was relatively good, save for a few of the shows, and Thor Love and Thunder. I never let the “Everything after Endgame sucks” noise get to me.

I only wish they did more with Multiverse of Madness and America Chavez, among others.

Affectionate_Rub_6382026-01-16 20:03

Miroist2026-01-16 21:10

Short answer I'm afraid is no. I also really enjoyed the 3 initial TV shows too, much more than the prevailing opinion. But the films aren't great and then the TV shows start going downhill too. If I were you I'd just watch Shang Chi, Spiderman NWH, Guardians 3, Thunderbolts, Hawkeye and Loki S2 and pretend the rest haven't happened.

eagc72026-01-16 21:15

Generally speaking: Eternals, She-Hulk, Ant-Man 3, Secret Invasion, Brave New World and Ironheart get the most flak out of all of the Multiverse Saga MCU projects.

The rest however it ranges from This is actually pretty good to it being a coin toss if you'll like it or not.

But if you wanna see them, give them a shot, i mean for all we know they could work for you, everyone taste is different. i've seen people that liked Ant-Man 3 and so on

pje11282026-01-16 21:31

There are a few that were disappointing (name Thor 4, Ant-Man 3, and Secret Invasion), but for the most part, I think this saga has still been high quality.

Madmonkeman2026-01-17 01:22

Honestly the only movies I thought were weak were Eternals, Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness, and Black Panther Wakanda Forever. For the shows I disliked Falcon and the Winter Soldier, She-Hulk, Secret Invasion, and Ms Marvel although I thought The Marvels was good. Everything else I’ve either enjoyed or found to be decent but not amazing.

I think all of the shows before Wandavision were overall much better, however Daredevil Born Again felt had a high enough quality to feel like I was watching shows from that era again. Also I expected to dislike Agatha All Along because I thought she was a boring character but I actually really liked the show. Ironheart was similar where I expected to not like it because I thought the character was boring in Black Panther, but it’s actually a really good show.

TheHeroicLionheart2026-01-17 01:22

Sounds like youre having a good time.

The internet will either not change your mind or make you hate it.

Have fun, like what you like, dislike what you dislike.

ChaoticCaptain1772026-01-17 02:14

I won't say which projects specifically but the quality goes up and down as some will be good and others will be bad

NamelessGamer_12026-01-17 16:20

I didn't see everything (skipped most of the shows) but here are my personal thoughts on the projects (no spoilers):

Loki is amazing, both seasons. S2 specifically is incredible. Honestly, it's in my Top 3 MCU projects

Black Widow is an enjoyable movie for the most part, but brought down a lot by the terrible main villains.

Shang Chi is pretty good, but I think people sometimes overrate it a bit. The second half is considerably worse than the first, and the third act is extremely generic.

Eternals is alright. Not bad but not great either. Many people found it boring or overstuffed, which are fair complaints. But I think the story is decent and the visuals are pretty cool. You can watch it if you want to, but it's unlikely that any of the characters will ever return

Hawkeye (show) was good. Nothing groundbreaking, but it's pretty fun. Albeit probably not a necessary watch (for Doomsday).

No Way Home is good, but I don't love it nearly as much as most people. Noticeably, the problem is that the story heavily relies on cameo characters. As in, if you took those characters away, then the movie wouldn't exist or would be radically different. Though the emotional beats are good.

I actually really enjoyed Multiverse of Madness, which I know is an unpopular opinion. You can try watching it if you want, most people didn't like it nearly as much as I did so it's hard to fully recommend it. I personally really liked its creativity, and I also really liked the main antagonist, which a lot of people criticize.

Thor Love and Thunder is the worst movie in the MCU for me. It turned Thor into a goofball and the main villain was well acted but aside from that, he was terribly adapted. Just an overall mess of a movie.

Quantumania is the second worst movie in the MCU for me. It's just a boring slog and not much here is actually interesting

Guardians 3 is amazing, it may not be a necessary watch to understand Doomsday / Secret Wars, but it is still a really good movie.

Deadpool and Wolverine is a lot of fun, but it heavily depends on whether you like Deadpool's style of humor or not. I know a lot of people are tired of it by now. I personally still find it funny so I enjoyed it. But if you are looking for a good story, you will not find it here

Cap 4 was pretty decent for me. I know a lot of people really despised it though.

Thunderbolts is great, and mostly strays away from the tired "Marvel formula" and tries something new.

Fantastic 4 is also great, although I found the final battle to be pretty disappointing. Still really enjoyed the rest though

I didn't watch Wakanda Forever or The Marvels

So in the end, I'd say:

Worth watching:
Shang Chi
No Way Home
Guardians 3
Thunderbolts
Fantastic 4
Loki

Maybe worth watching:
Black Widow (as an introduction to Yelena)
Eternals
Hawkeye (because it doesn't connect with anything yet)
Multiverse of Madness (depending on whether you can forgive some bad writing or not)
Deadpool and Wolverine (if you are willing to go in for the fun of it, rather than expecting a good story)
Cap 4 (probably necessary to understand Doomsday)

Not worth watching (IMO):
Thor 4
Quantumania
