Marvel 616 on Disney+ is a collection of eight documentaries covering a wide range of subjects based around Marvel. This was an interesting show.
616's best strength is it's versatility. If there's an episode that doesn't interest you then there'll probably be another you would like. (I found the ones on the Japanese Spider-Man show and female comics creators to be particularly interesting.)
All the documentaries are well handled. Credit should be particularly given to the episode on weird and forgotten Marvel characters featuring and starring Paul Scheer for trying a different approach than the others.
The episode on foreign comics illustrators though having a decent topic did feel slow-paced and not as dynamic as the others. Whereas they felt pretty dynamic with several interviews, this had very few to go back and forth through.
If you're interested in Marvel in general, I recommend this. You'll find out a lot of things you didn't know before.
