The best comic book shows inject life into beloved characters and stories, and the best comic book shows of 2022 are no exception. From the big two continuing their expanded universes to shows that have nothing to do with the DECU or MCU, the new comic book TV series premiering in 2022 are heroically good.DC comic book shows came out of the gate ahead in 2022 with two superhero shows, Peacemaker airing early in January. Comic book shows like Heartstopper by Alice Oseman - also show that comic books are about more than superheroes, with its sweet coming-of-age romance. The anime FreakAngels is a little different, in that its based on a webcomic - but it's 2022, and the difference between something that was published online before it became a physical book is getting thin.Vote up the best new comic book series that are airing for the first time in 2022 and see where your new favorites rank.

Certain superhero movies are just plain bad. Despite the fact that these&nbsp;substandard films have the potential to turn you off from the entire genre, the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/surprisingly-good-comic-book-movie-performances/josh-plainse" target="_blank">best acting performances</a> in superhero movies just might be hidden within their poorly assembled scenes. Even if the movie itself is&nbsp;entirely cringe-worthy, one talented actor can serve as a beacon of light that at least allows you to reach the end without expiring from boredom.&nbsp;

While a few minutes of good acting can&#39;t save an atrociously bad movie, these performances still deserve&nbsp;recognition. Take a look below at great performances in terrible superhero movies and vote up the actors that almost made the movie worth watching.&nbsp;

Subplots are one of the most interesting aspects of modern films because, love them or hate them, they play a significant role in creating a cohesive narrative. A good subplot advances a character's development, or it can touch on some ancillary subject important to the main storyline. Conversely, a bad subplot can focus too much on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movies-with-bad-comic-relief-characters/tyler-mitchell">bad comic relief characters</a> or provide little more than confusion when it has nothing to do with advancing the plot. When this occurs, it often holds the movie back in a noticeable way.This list features some of the worst subplots in comic book movies, and there are some bad ones. To be clear, these subplots don't necessarily make the movies they're in bad, but they don't do them any favors, either. You'll find some fantastic films in the list down below, but try to imagine them without the subplots listed. Odds are, the movie would have progressed fine without them. Take a look at the bad subplots that held back comic book movies down below, and don't forget to upvote the worst of the worst before you go!

Then try again every four to five years…No other Marvel property has been so revered, rebooted, misguided, and misled at the Fantastic Four franchise. With several films already attempted, the first family of Marvel has had a much better outing on paper and the small screen than on the silver screen (though the 2005 movie is finding a new resurgence among nostalgia junkies these days). Despite their big screen hardships, they remains the gold standard for Marvel heroes. Here are a few posts from Fantastic Four fans who have a few thoughts on the first family of Marvel.

Great Moments in the MCU

Through more than two dozen films, a handful of television series, and heaps of additional content, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has delivered its fans hundreds of hours of entertainment, and still they want more. As thoroughly and lengthily as the franchise’s story has been told, there are still plenty of events that have happened “between pages," to borrow a term from comic books - off-screen MCU moments that have been just as important as what happens on the big and small screens. Fans would have loved to see that stuff happen with their own eyes, but they’re free to imagine it and speculate about it, which is sometimes nearly as fun.As a franchise, the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-mcu-scenes-that-arent-about-plot/tyler-mitchell">MCU is driven by big plot twists and major action sequences</a>, but not everything can fit into a script. In-universe and out, the MCU has been running for nearly two decades, and those two decades have covered an awful lot of ground. Just because audiences didn’t see something with their own two eyes, doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen - or that it didn’t change the course of the franchise forever.&nbsp;
