Marvel Studios doesn’t produce box office failures, period. Even the movies of the MCU that have been unable to ignite the hearts of critics with cosmic joy, and those that have become the butt of many jokes as being the worst of the Infinity Saga - stand up Thor: The Dark World for many - still bring in the kind of grosses that other movies would love to have as a given....

What does it mean for a show to be underrated? It means a lot of things, but mostly that the show is great but not as well known as it should be.
