#MARVEL MOVIES 2021 SERIES#
The series was mostly good, but it struggled to provide a satisfying conclusion in its finale. The year started out with WandaVision, which both introduced the world to phase four and to how Marvel would handle this new, longer-form medium for storytelling. This new medium of storytelling definitely had growing pains for Marvel to overcome and still does, but some of their small-screen projects stand out as truly great. Marvel has heavily relied on Disney+ shows to introduce the world to phase four of the MCU, whether it be WandaVision or What If…?. It can currently be streamed on Disney+ along with Black Widow. Shang-Chi is seriously one of the better MCU films out there and easily the best released this year. It’s one of the best MCU origin films ever made, on par with Guardians of the Galaxy, Iron Man and Spider-Man: Homecoming. It also adapts portions of Chinese folklore and mythology, setting it apart from other MCU films and making it feel fresh in the process, which is something that needs to keep happening if Marvel wants to keep audiences interested and, in turn, keep the cash flowing. There is intention and purpose behind every shot, not just showing the action but giving it more meaning through its motion. This film features the best fight scenes and fight choreography in the MCU bar none. Since this is a best-of list, we must focus on the absolutely fantastic Shang-Chi. There’s just not much to say about either of them. On the opposite side of the quality spectrum, both the recently released Eternals and not so recently released Black Widow are among some of the weakest MCU films released in its over 13-year history.
#MARVEL MOVIES 2021 MOVIE#
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is the only Marvel movie released (so far) this year that I can honestly say is worthy of a best-of list. It’s best this year is neither of those things. Three MCU films have been released this year so far, ranging from the return of an original Avenger to the introduction of ancient, superpowered aliens living among us. Marvel movies came back to theaters with a vengeance (for better or worse) after having to take a longer than expected two-year hiatus following the end of phase three and then the global COVID-19 pandemic.
