Collider just released a list of six MCU shows they believe have endings that are genuine masterpieces. Here's what they said and why.

Spoiler warning: this article discusses plot points from the finales of these shows.

WandaVision

Collider points to the WandaVision finale as the most crucial of any MCU series. They highlight the show's handling of grief and Wanda's transformation into the Scarlet Witch. The ending brought her story full circle, allowing new threads to emerge without a neat bow.

Agatha All Along

Collider says the Agatha All Along finale focused on personal stakes rather than spectacle. The double reveal and Agatha's sacrifice turned her into a tragic character. The series ends with Ghost Agatha and Billy searching for Tommy, setting up VisionQuest without losing its emotional core.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Collider calls the seven-season series' finale a celebration of the team. Each core character received a satisfying resolution. The final image of Coulson flying away in his upgraded car symbolizes the bond that remains even as they go their separate ways.

Daredevil

Collider highlights Daredevil's finale as a masterclass in moral conclusion. Rather than killing Wilson Fisk, Matt Murdock beats him through the legal system, resolving his crisis of faith. The napkin scene symbolizes hope, while Dex's transformation into Bullseye adds a dark note.

Loki

Per Collider, Loki's season 2 finale offers a perfect end for the character who began as a selfish villain. Loki destroys the Temporal Loom and creates a tree-like structure, embracing his glorious purpose and protecting free will. Collider calls it emotional closure rarely afforded to Marvel characters.

Ms. Marvel

Collider praises the Ms. Marvel finale for bringing cosmic stakes back to a personal, community-focused ending. Kamala Khan's family accepts her as Ms. Marvel, and the mutant reveal with the X-Men theme made her the first official mutant in the main MCU timeline. Collider says it serves a higher narrative purpose with upcoming X-Men projects.

If you're a Marvel fan who values a satisfying ending, these shows are worth revisiting.
