🎬 Introduction
This review is part of the MCU Watch Order – explore all Marvel movies and shows in order!
Team Darryl is a short comedy film that continues the unexpected saga of Darryl, Thor’s unlucky ex-roommate from Team Thor. This time, the story gets even stranger – Darryl takes in a new tenant: the Grandmaster, fresh off his defeat on Sakaar.
It’s not action-packed or lore-heavy, but it’s definitely worth 6 minutes of your time if you liked the offbeat humor of Thor: Ragnarok.
😅 Story & Characters
There’s not much plot here – just a hilarious slice-of-life where Darryl tries to keep his new cosmic roommate in check. Jeff Goldblum hams it up perfectly, bringing his trademark energy to every line. Darryl, once again, is the quietly suffering straight man in a world of madness.
The chemistry between the two is awkward in the best way. It’s clear that this was made to give fans a bonus laugh, not to expand the MCU lore.
👨👧👦 Our Experience & Recommendation
My daughter and I watched this short after rewatching Thor: Ragnarok and it gave us a good laugh. It’s absurd, low-stakes, and exactly the kind of quirky Marvel extra that adds fun to your timeline rewatch.
If you're building up to Infinity War or just looking for a quick MCU snack – this one’s worth it.
Pros
- +Hilarious dynamic between Darryl and the Grandmaster
- +Short and easy to watch
- +Great bonus for fans of Ragnarok’s humor
Cons
- –Not essential to the main MCU timeline
- –Very short – under 6 minutes
📝 Conclusion
Team Darryl is a delightful mini-comedy that extends the absurdist vibes of Ragnarok. It’s not must-watch Marvel, but it adds another fun layer to the Grandmaster’s story. Jeff Goldblum shines as always, and Darryl remains a lovable everyman.
Recommendation: Watch this right after Thor: Ragnarok for some quick laughs.
