The Marvel Cinematic Universe is huge, especially now that Disney+ includes sections on Fox's X-Men and Fantastic Four, even acknowledging shows like Legion and Gifted peopleand Morbius Part of the Spider-Verse collection. However, it is hidden on the service, where no one can find it without specifically looking for it, and it is the only Marvel series ever released on Freeform, formerly known as ABC Family. Cloak and dagger. Airing for two seasons, the series brought to life the adventures of teenage runaways (no, not those runaways), Tandy and Tyrone, who are normally supporting characters to Spider-Man, but are stuck in their own show with no connection to anything in the MCU.
Super powerful teen angst
In the series, Olivia Holt and Aubrey Joseph play Tandy and Tyrone, respectively, as the action is moved from New York to New Orleans, and the drug-filled origin story of the superhero pair from the comics is replaced by an industrial accident. . Cloak and dagger It's one of those shows that can get away with radically changing the origin of its heroes because even in the comics, the pair are always stuck in a supporting role and are rarely given their own title.
It's a testament to the stars for that Cloak and dagger Good as is. The series leans heavily into teen angst, and takes advantage of the lack of any compelling stories featuring the heroes to build them up as new characters without any fan expectations. This time, Tandy is exhausted, beaten, and defeated, but she has the ability to see everyone's hopes and dreams when she touches them. Tyrone retains his connection to the Darkforce Dimension but is also able to see people's fears.

It's fitting, as both shows have been omitted from Marvel's landing page on Disney+, and the only evidence of their existence in the MCU is the standalone crossover.
