Message: <blockquote data-quote="Snarf Zagyg" data-source="post: 9695658" data-attributes="member: 7023840">I thought the first three episodes were good. I mean, they weren't bad.Look, after Secret Invasion, I have really really low expectations. I am enjoying the series for what it is. Seriously, here's the list of new (sorry, Loki S2) not-animated (sorry, What If?) MCU Series in "Phase 5" in order:Secret Invasion: No. Just no.Echo: I wanted to love this (RESERVATION DOGS!). I wanted to love this (Vincent!). But ... it wasn't that good.Agatha All Along: Fine.Daredevil: Born Again: If it was season 4 of the Netflix series, it would be behind seasons 1 and 3, but before 2.Ironheart: First three episodes have been good. Let's see where it goes.In short ... it's perfectly okay so far. Enjoyable, but certainly not compelling (to me). No where as bad as the worst shows, and lots of good parts, but ...I just feel like all the series are missing something because they are all "movie-adjacent mini-series" and not, you know, actual TV shows. Maybe that's something to dwell on further, but if you know what I mean, you know what I mean. They don't have enough character work or depth like a TV show, and they don't have enough momentum and closure like a movie.That said, I am looking forward to the next three. I like the MCU shows, but I never feel like they amount to anything much. And I always know that the ones I do like won't be continued and the characters that I get to know I won't really spend time with ... other than a cameo in a movie or a different series down the road.</blockquote>
