11 Criminally Under-Loved Marvel Animated Movies That Deserve Your Attention - Explored

[@SolCresta3405]

I wouldn't call Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse criminally under-loved. In fact, it's very much beloved, actually. One of the best movies 2018 had to offer.

[@DarkZeroNova]

Agreed this movie doesn't belong in the list, like maybe during the trailers before release when some fans, like me was a bit iffy about it until saw more of it and then when I watched it those first few minutes I knew I would love it!

[@QnzColdest]

Exactly. It had a theatre release and tons of praise. He clearly just couldn’t think of any other movie. But should’ve put the Next Avengers movie instead when the kids of the avengers went up against Ultron.

[@godhasabandonedme1643]

@@QnzColdest yoo that was a good movie

[@deionlevins2015]

Won an Oscar too

[@JSPena]

Exactly!

[@rodimus7926]

Rise of the Technivore was such a cool animated movie that I consider it to be the true Iron Man 3 movie, it was cool, fun and fantastic to watch, and it even help to explain how Tony Stark manage to create the Mark L armor

[@MidnightBroadcast]

I really like the Next Avengers Heroes of Tomorrow movie. I always thought of it as an epilogue for the Ultimate Avengers films.

[@1775adam]

Agreed. Also it made sense for Roger's and Romanov to marry. And Ultron was more of a threat in that movie than he was in Whedon's.

[@orinanime]

Absolutely agreed. I consider them an unofficial Trilogy

[@ulty1472]

[@kirkyturki1546]

@@ulty1472 Yeah, because he was an actual threat. Cold, brutal, and effective. He beat Tony in hardly any time flat. Compare that to age of Ultron where he gets beat by tony.

[@trippytimesjosh355]

I just recently found out the "Next Avengers" kids are actually canon in the 616 comics. I thought they were made just for the film for a long time. I really like Thor's daughter, and especially the son of T'challa & Storm (who would be epic for the MCU!!!)

[@ladyfox1124]

Totally Agree. I love it.

[@joryyungsta]

The best along with hulk vs and the Wolverine & The X men, Spider-Man

[@nicolesmith2297]

On one hand I'm glad Big Hero 6 is on the list since very few people seem to know that it's based off of a Marvel comic but on the other hand it's only roughly based off of the comic and I don't think Marvel's name is even on it other than the fact that the characters are based off of one of their Comics like I don't remember Marvel logo popping up in the opening

[@TheOldest]

Iron-Man Rise of Teknovor was a really good watch. Planet Hulk should be on everyone's must watch list.

[@dinomonzon7493]

Of all the Marvel Animated features, Ultimate Avengers, Dr. Strange: Sorcerer Supreme, & Iron Man: Rise of Techno Vore are my faves. Especially the latter 2. Ultimate Avengers took liberties from the comic, but showed that Marvel CAN do serious animated series. My fave scenes in Dr. Strange was where we see how much Doc cares for his sister April, and when the Ancient One tells him: “You’re a good surgeon, Stephen. But you’re not a god!” For Iron Man Rise of Techo Vore, the plus sides were seeing that Tony Stark, true to form, had a contingency plan for anything Stane could think of, including Pepper Potts having the backdoor key to thwart Stane’s last gambit. “All I ever wanted was a vacation...” The fight between the Punisher, Black Widow & Hawkeye was also good. Plus Nick Fury & SHIELD are on hand, and Pepper, Natasha & Maria Hill looked great. The Iron Man anime series remains the best as it had Tony in Japan, overseeing Stark Industries Tokyo and meeting new allies like Dr. Tanaka & the reporter Nanami. Episode 4 was particularly good. In fact, the events in the anime can tie in to the opening of Iron Man 2 , where Tony appears at the Stark Expo saying, “Daddy’s back home!”

[@stormwolf5848]

There is also the Iron Man anime where he fights aginst Ezekiel Stane, and I think it also got the extremis story.

[@make.and.believe]

When was this recorded? Because it was released in December of 2021 - you state at 13:04 that Trevor Slattery's Mandarin is the only one depicted in the MCU - that kind of ignores Shang Chi entirely - not to mention Aldrich Killian's claim to the mantle in IM3. Also - how were there no Marvel Knights Animations in this list? Astonishing X-Men, Iron Man: Extremis, Spider-Woman: Agent of S.W.O.R.D., Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers, Black Panther, Wolverine Weapon X? These are some of the finest Marvel Animated features on record...

[@Gojimario]

no way you just called into the spider-verse an underloved movie that needs your attention

[@marvelboi3416]

Don't forget to mention Iron Man & Hulk & Captain America: Heroes United animated films which stunning and truly amazing. BTW Iron Man foe actually did appeared in the MCU on the hits movie Shang-Chi and the legend of Ten Rings.

[@chimpo961]

Honestly movies that were mentioned both into the spider verse and Big hero 6 I wouldn't think it would count since hero 6 is made by Disney themselves basically taking it from Marvel turning into a Disney movie, as for into the Spider-Verse it's very good but it should be completely separated then other animated movies since it's likely possible that it's going to tight into the MCU, and honestly as much that one of their animated movies and were made for past years I still think that Marvel deserves to build up and be more creative on making new animated movies if it ever happens since everyone wants to see non MCU like maybe introducing to particular stories like King in Black saga, banner of War, and retelling story of world War Hulk, those are kind of the idea stories that I would like to see someday even if one of those animated movies would turn r-rated giving in a more gruesome potential

[@jerrydunham2042]

Into the Spiderverse sucked. When you add stupid crap like Spider-Man its a automatic shitshow for me. And lets talk about Spider-Gwen. She died in the late 60's and should have stayed dead. But what does Marvel do? Make her a Spider and a Deadpool. Doubled down on stupid there.

[@juliiju0484]

I'm not going to tire of saying it, but these movies deserve attention. Currently Marvel and DC fans admit that Marvel animated movies are bad, when they haven't seen a single one, and while DC practically innovated in animation, these movies were made by people who really knew the stories they were telling. You can say that Hulk vs is the most commercial movie, since it presents battles between the most popular characters, but it is made by people who really know about those characters and what makes them who they are. If you go behind the scenes, you will see that they are really invested in these films and their characters, and although these are not any masterpieces, they made sure that the films are entertaining.
