Finding the Good in Marvel’s “Multiverse Saga” — A Ranking

<p>Ahead of&nbsp;<em>Loki Season 2</em>, here&rsquo;s an unofficial ranking of only the &ldquo;Multiverse Saga&rsquo;s&rdquo; best.</p> <p><em>(**Warning &mdash; Potential SPOILERS Below**)</em></p> <h2>10. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)</h2> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*[email protected]" style="height:394px; width:700px" /></p> <p>Credit: Marvel Studios/Disney</p> <p>Although not as impactful a film as it&rsquo;s predecessor,&nbsp;<em>Black Panther: Wakanda Forever</em>&nbsp;manages to juggle multiple responsibilities rather well. Aside from needing to entertain to the level of MCU standards, it also had to establish an acceptable continuation for the characters of Wakanda beyond the late Chadwick Boseman&rsquo;s portrayal of the titular hero.

What Marvel has really been lacking are the monuments of quality that riddled the &ldquo;Infinity Saga.&rdquo;&nbsp;<em>Hawkeye</em>&nbsp;stands out as a positive for its inventiveness in character development. The introduction of Hailee Steinfeld&rsquo;s Kate Bishop was a welcome one, making for one of the better additions to the&hellip;</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@morgantiben/finding-the-good-in-marvels-multiverse-saga-a-ranking-d61e068a7436"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
