Here's Every Show's Season Ranked Worst to Best HYPEBEAST [Features]( October 26, 2018 [Is the Marvel Netflix Hype Dead? Here's Every Show's Season Ranked Worst to Best]( After two cancellations, what is the future for the rest of these shows? [Marvel Netflix Ranking]( NETFLIX When news hit that Marvel and Netflix would be teaming up to tell stories of individual street-level heroes set within the MCU, fans marveled (pun intended) at all the possibilities that could entail. Would we see nods toward a show within the films? Would the status quo set in movies like Captain America: Civil War reverberate within any of the series? Luckily, the first few batches of season ones from Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and especially Daredevil kept many interested in the ride this televised universe would take us on after it laid down the groundwork. Before long, however, many realized the film and television universe wouldn’t be as in unison as many hoped since each show’s nod toward the greater universe began to feel more limited. While each series finally began to weave within another, they failed to deliver with cohesion alongside the MCU many fans felt was promised.

The news of the latter was made the premiere weekend of Daredevil season 3, leaving some to wonder if it’s even worth investing in these shows anymore now that their futures are uncertain. Many believe the cancellation comes in relation to Disney’s new streaming service. Some speculate Disney is making their licensing too expensive for Netflix to maintain since its demand isn’t strong enough to bring in new subscribers. Others think Disney wants to bring the characters over to their upcoming service so that they can become more inclusive characters within the MCU, like Sony’s Spider-Man and possibly the X-Men once the 20th Century Fox acquisition pulls through.
