Marvel Studios introduced its third format this year: the Special Presentation. Not long enough to be a feature film, nor episodic, the likes of Werewolf by Night were given a special designation due to the one-shot nature. Despite an abbreviated runtime, fans and critics alike quickly fell in love with the Michael Giacchino-directed horror entry. In fact, the special even won one of our Golden Issues this year, all thanks to its introduction of the macabre Man-Thing.
Now months after release, Werewolf by Night is trending amongst Twitter users for its breaking of the Marvel mold. As fans look back on everything Marvel offered throughout the past 12 months, the special presentation continuously ranks amongst the top of fan lists, enough so it became a trending topic for many Wednesday night. Keep scrolling to see what people are saying.

Werewolf By Night: Its the most unique project of the MCU this year by far and I wished it was longer. Had a lot of fun watching this and I hope to see Jack, Elsa, and Man-Thing in more projects. 9/10 pic.twitter.com/YQJevPPP4t

Werewolf by Night has a flaming sousaphone in case you were on the fence.
I never wanna hear Michael Giacchino slander on my timeline.
Just a few of the films he’s composed: MCU Spidey trilogy, The Batman, Up, Coco, The Incredibles 1&2, Inside Out, Ratatouille, Jurassic World trilogy…
He also composed the MCU intro and directed Werewolf by Night. pic.twitter.com/hcI6ioSLks
It’s still weird to me that WEREWOLF BY NIGHT came out from Marvel on Disney+, included Elsa Bloodstone and Man-Thing, and was fantastic. I know this is the worst timeline, but we do still get some true sparks of joy.

Werewolf by Night is now streaming on Disney+.
