Ms. Marvel

This series is odd because it's elevated by its cool stlyistic choices in the first two episodes but decides to use them less and less with each subsequent episode, which just made them visually boring. Regardless, I think it still has its strengths in conveying nice, wholesome family energy but any time they try to rework anything from the comic, all I could think was "the comic did this better". Especially with regards to the Muslim identity, which has no self-reflection as the comic did.

A mixed bag. Early episodes have some interesting visuals and camerawork, and a nice grounded introduction to the title character. Iman Vellani is perfect for the role, and her friend group is enjoyable. Episodes 4 and 5 slow down the pacing a lot, and it loses focus. Episode 6 was a fine conclusion at least. It’s also pretty nice to see a positive depiction of Muslim characters for once.

I liked it a lot. It's hard to believe this is Iman Vellani's first acting job. I also love the visual style. Another example of Marvel introducing a character properly. I'm looking forward to The Marvels.

It's Marvel, so it has some charm. But the lead is not very likeable, the constant dumbing down of complex politics to push an agenda was frustrating, and I'm still not getting the super hero vibe from Ms Marvel. Her antics at the end of the film were just not believable. I did like the supporting cast a lot, though. Maybe as part of an ensemble it would work. I guess time will tell.

Alright show, maybe I'm too old for this type of content? It felt like the writing was disjointed, the characters had no set personality, always changed their mind, and half of the cast were throwaways that could just as well have been removed. I'm not even sure who the story's villain was. At least the cast was fine, the show had a unique style (though it underused it when it got dark), and representation in mainstream media is always a plus.

Things that will surprise you in 2022: Peace in the world, Lakers win and I fall in love with MCU series.. Damn... Things change so fast. To be honest, I liked WandaVision, mostly thanks to my admire to Elizabeth Olsen but still it was a good show. Moon Knight was a meh etc. I loved the feminist theme that Ms.Marvel had with a such an incredible family story which is so many young girls can relate to.. Usually cockroach men don't understand about women things but I hope things will change.

Holds my attention but isn't very good. The visuals are horribly bad at times. The main actor is pretty good though. I wouldn't mind seeing her in more upcoming marvel stuff.

This show starts out strong before going off the rails quick. The first episode is a perfect encapsulation of Kamala Khan and brings us into her world. The middle episodes are a hodgepodge of time travel nonsense with characters that are hard to keep track of. The finale comes back strong and recaptures the brilliance of the first episode through a grounded story that shows the good heart of Ms. Marvel. Overall, it's inconsistent, but the highs are high.

S1: 5/10

I'm sorry but what was this show
