Every Marvel TV show on Disney+, ranked from worst to best (including Echo)

11. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier takes the number six spot in this list, but it’s not because it isn’t a great show. If anything, it was exactly the type of show we needed after the madness of WandaVision. It felt like it took us back to the roots of what Marvel is at its core and reminded us of the classic Avengers storylines.

Admittedly, it was a drastic shift from the multiversal madness of WandaVision, and perhaps that’s why it ranks so low. While I loved the classic vibe, it lacked the imagination of some of its sister shows. This was more of a grounded and socially conscious series that gave us an update on Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) following the events of Avengers: Endgame.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier introduced us to a post-Blip world. Everyone is struggling to return to normalcy after half the world blinked out of and later back into existence, and the process hasn’t always been smooth. I appreciated this because we haven’t gotten many looks at how the Blip impacted everyday people. This series takes a serious look at how folks are affected after being gone for five years, and what that means for their daily lives.

Furthermore, Falcon reminded us that Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) is gone and it’s up to Sam and Bucky to forge a way forward. I still can’t describe the emotions I felt as Sam took on the Captain American mantle; there were chills, goosebumps and pride. It’s such a profound moment to see a Black Captain America on screen. And the best part? He’s coming back for his own movie!
