Put simply, Ms Marvel is off to a brilliant start. I couldn't suppress my smile for the duration of the first two episodes as the show's colourful world, endearing cast and hilarious wit had me entranced. It's a coming-of-age story meets family comedy-drama by way of superhero origin and it all works superbly.
Through the first two episodes, Ms. Marvel is a fun examination of the usual coming-of-age issues couched in Kamala’s idea that being a superhero is so much less complicated than actual life.
Luminous newcomer Vellani transcends this brand synergy. She makes Khan a warm, funny, awkward, brilliantly relatable heroine. ... It’s heartening to see Marvel put its might behind this much-needed representation. Even if it’s a cynical move to keep expanding the MCU fandom, at least this charming series welcomes everyone in.
While arguably a little lightweight in nature (though, hey, it’s only two episodes so far), “Ms. Marvel” is more just enjoyably small-scale, human, and full of persuasive allure that should melt the heart of the greatest cynic or troll who feels to put up a bad review of something they haven’t even seen.
This is an instantly captivating, high-energy, relatively light and humorous series with first-rate production values and one of the more likable casts in any series of any genre so far this year.
Using a marginalized culture as a crutch to get a new demographic of viewers. There is nothing creative about making a Mindy Kaling version of a Marvel show, especially if it’s chock-full of stale parent vs. teen dynamics lifted from sitcoms decades older than the characters.
As with all of the other shows, it starts off promising before it fumbles at the end. This however has tons of fun characters though and a fun style for Episodes 1-3 and part of 6.
This is fine. Not great, not bad, just fine. It gets a bonus point for portraing Pakistania immigrants but the story and characters themselves don't offer anything too compelling, based on the first episode.
Wasted potential, that's my word for this series like lets talk about the positive aspect first. Love the Pakistani culutre, kamala is very much a relatable character, the story is somehow intriguing but sadly it's disappointing at the end, and so much more.
Personally im fine with it but there's so much potential in it, and now in the end for me? it's the worst ever mcu disney plus show at the moment.
Now the negative stuff or thingy. The End plot (Episodfe 6) is bad like really "Luke Cage" bad, im very disappointed with the ending and i bet "The Marvels" will be as bad as this. There's no real hero lessons in this like remember when peter parker first got his powers and then uncle ben said that famous line "With great power come great responsability"? well in here there's none of that stuff which is bad for me personally cause at that time peter parker was in "highschool" almost the same age as kamala right now, i assume the director/writer forgot about it cause they really love adding up that Pakistani culture everywhere, next there's too much mediocre scenes, the jokes most of them aren't that funny, and many more.
Im sad cause there's SOOO much potential that we could get from Ms Marvel, i hope that Kevin Feige could fix this kind of mess with new characters in the future. #phase4isdisappointing
