Why It Matters in the MCU
The second season of Runaways deepens the team's internal dynamics and confronts them with the full scope of their parents' relationship to PRIDE's alien benefactors. The series continues to distinguish itself from other Marvel productions by prioritising the domestic and emotional consequences of its premise over superhero spectacle. The Los Angeles setting — rarely used in the MCU — gives the show a visual register that distinguishes it from the New York-centric Netflix productions.
