[ad_1]

In a shocking move that left dedicated viewers in disbelief, Disney+ has unexpectedly decided to ax the beloved Marvel show, Runaways from its streaming platform. The fan-favorite series, which enjoyed a successful three-season run, has been abruptly terminated, sending shockwaves throughout the fan community.

The surprising decision came from a complete purge of content by Disney+ as the streaming service bid farewell to several films and shows, including some original productions. While the MCU documentary series MPower and Voices Rising: the music of Wakanda forever escaped the chopping block, Marvel’s Heroes of the project, unfortunately, did not meet the same fate.

The sudden removal of Runaways left fans wondering about the reasoning behind the unexpected move as they grapple with the absence of a series they’ve come to love.

fans of Runaways now face a digital dilemma as the series is no longer available for streaming and physical releases were never made. However, there is a silver lining, as some digital platforms still offer the option to purchase episodes of the beloved Marvel series.

The canonicity of Runaways has long been debated, as it existed outside of the direct MCU crossovers, with only a connection to Cloak and Dagger. The depiction of the Darkhold in Disney+ Wanda Vision further complicated its place in canon, deviating from its portrayal in the Marvel TV series.

The removal of Runaways from all streaming platforms, without the possibility of physical purchases, devastated fans. The series’ endearing characters and gripping storylines have garnered praise, as evidenced by its solid ratings on Rotten Tomatoes.

This sudden absence raises concerns about the show’s place in the true MCU canon and fuels speculation about the potential for a reboot under Marvel Studios.

Unfortunately, the unresolved cliffhanger on which Runaways concluded adds to the disappointment. The chances of the original team returning seem slim. However, there is a silver lining for fans, as one of Runaways members, Nico Minoru, is set to appear in the upcoming anime series Spider Man: First year.

As fans grapple with the loss, the ability to purchase the series digitally brings comfort. It allows fans to relive the adventures of Runaways or experience the series for the first time, offering temporary refuge in the cherished memories of this remarkable superhero team.

As fans reflect on the true place of Runaways within the MCU canon, they dream of a future where the team could find new life under the guidance of Marvel Studios. Until then, the digital realm remains a sanctuary for those who seek solace in the enduring legacy of Runaways.
