Ms. Marvel

Even though I thought Ms. Marvel is the 2nd worst of all the Marvel shows, only She-Hulk was. Worse. I still think it's worth watching. It's actually gotten great reviews and currently holds a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes. The cast is mostly made up of unknown actors and actresses, led by Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan. This is actually her first acting job ever and she does a pretty good job. She did such a good job that her next job is in the next Marvel blockbuster, The Marvels. I thought this show was only targeted for teens but I was wrong. While it is definitely aimed more for teens and children, that doesn't mean adults won't enjoy it. It's a fun show with plenty of heart.

Actually, before starting to watch this series, I read very bad reviews that it was very slow, very boring, one of the worst Marvel series, so I didn't have high expectations, however I liked the series and found it very entertaining, It is based on a comic of a teenage superheroine in the style of Spiderman, so we cannot forget that they cannot leave this part aside, however Kamala is a dreamy teenager who tries to see this stage in a different way, however there is no We must forget that we were all teenagers, Bruno was one of my favorite characters, I also think that it is good that Marvel shows us characters with different cultures and thus they tell us a little about the history of different cultures, which in my case I was unaware of and I investigated a little more , clearly it is not a history class to teach us how exactly the events happened. I am not going to deny that at the level of visual effects it does leave a lot to be desired, however like the latest Marvel series and movies. Really, like the Marvel series, they have many curiosities and many hidden themes that they cover in the comics. Therefore I think it is a series that you have to give a chance and make your opinion for yourself.

Ms. Marvel has the look and feel of a Disney Channel program. That's not to say it is bad, simply quite different from the MCU miniseries we have seen before. It is clearly lower budget and appears to be targeted at a younger demographic. The best thing about it is that it shows Muslims in a positive light, celebrating Pakistani culture and history, although the depiction of the partitioning of India and Pakistan was very heavy-handed while leaving out much of the horror.

This is easily the least of the MCU series and most viewers would be just fine skipping it.

But so what? With the amount of content we get from Marvel who cares if we get something squarely aimed at kids? I thought it was fresh and fun - and WAY more enjoyable than Moon Knight. It's sad that a bunch of man-babies have to resort to review bombing because "Disney bad"

I actually watched this series after seeing The Marvels. I decided to binge all the Avengers series in order because I keep reading all sorts of negativity about how Disney wants to insert DEI into movies going forward and the online boy nerds on YouTube freaking out about "gasp!" females and people of colour being promoted. Personally I think Disney CEO is heavy handed and grooming which will lose what little audiences left. It's called entertainment, Bob!

That being said I really enjoyed this series! The cast did a great job! Lots of talent there! I find that the way life flows with its highs and lows very realistic and it makes you want to root for the characters and keep watching. Family home life interaction was good. The depiction of a vibrant religious Muslim life was a pleasant change from the negativity portrayed (I'm Christian myself) and loved the wedding! The depiction of Partition - a terrible mistake with tragic results - was powerfully portrayed! The graphics and colours was wonderful particularly the moving graffiti. A nice touch!

I'm really glad to have watched this series. When I watched the movie Ms Marvel first I told someone that it felt like a bunch of tv episodes stitched together and now I see why. The movie felt like something was being forced to be female entertainment written by males. That planet of singing, dancing aliens was uncomfortable to watch where the wedding in the series was more lively and fun and realistic!

I recommend you watch the series for some fun, some education, and some eye candy! It's well done and you will find yourself caring about the characters. Thats a hallmark of the Marvel world isn't it? Seeing the characters as people dealing.with life they never expected to have to and not always winning. Ignore all these social media fan-nerds boys whining and make your own mind up!
