Ms. Marvel

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!

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.

From the moment Ms. Marvel kicks off, it's clear we're in for something special. The show practically explodes with youthful energy, bursting at the seams with creativity and color. It's not just a superhero story-this is a coming-of-age tale wrapped in a cosmic, Marvel-branded package. And Iman Vellani, in her screen debut, absolutely nails it as Kamala Khan.

Right out of the gate, Ms. Marvel hooks you with its lively, comic-book-inspired visuals. It's like stepping into Kamala's brain, where graffiti comes to life and the world feels as vivid and imaginative as a Captain Marvel fan's dream. The visual creativity here is stunning, and it's clear that directors Adil & Bilall went all out to bring Kamala's wild imagination to the screen.

Iman Vellani's portrayal of Kamala is pure magic. She's charming, funny, awkward, and endlessly relatable-everything you'd want from a teen superhero. Watching her grapple with her newfound powers while navigating the everyday struggles of high school is an absolute delight. And while the stakes might feel lower than your typical MCU fare, that's part of the show's charm. It's not about saving the world (at least not yet); it's about Kamala figuring out who she is, and that's just as important.

But let's talk about the representation because Ms. Marvel doesn't shy away from celebrating Kamala's Pakistani-American heritage. The show dives headfirst into her family's culture, with references to everything from Zamzam soda to gossiping aunties, all while avoiding tired stereotypes. This isn't just another superhero story-it's a rich, layered exploration of identity, family, and heritage, and that's what makes Ms. Marvel stand out in the crowded MCU landscape.

One of the things I loved most about this show is its heart. From Kamala's complex relationship with her mother to the intergenerational ties that connect her to her past, Ms. Marvel is brimming with warmth and sincerity. And while there's plenty of superhero action to be had, the show's quieter moments-where Kamala just exists as a teenager navigating life-are some of the most compelling.

Sure, some of the villains might have missed the mark (the Clandestines were a bit of a letdown, to be honest), but that doesn't detract from the overall fun of the series. The high school drama might not be for everyone, but Ms. Marvel is a show with style, charm, and a fresh, youthful take on the MCU. It's a joy to watch Kamala come into her own, and with the added tease of her mutant status, the future looks incredibly bright for this young hero.

Bottom line? Ms. Marvel is a fresh, lighthearted series that'll resonate with both hardcore Marvel fans and new viewers. It's a cosmic coming-of-age story filled with family, culture, and one of the most likable leads we've seen in a long time.

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.

After dreadful Obi-Wan Kenobi episodes and not a fan of any Avengers movie, I was not sure if I would even bother watching one episode of Ms. Marvel

Glad I did!

Alive and funny, warm and hilarious, it reminded me of "Into The Spider-verse", made with such an attention to details and love for the comics ... and genre!

My daughter at 11 feel asleep watching Obi-Wan (wish it was me), but she also enjoyed this, even if a bit younger than target audience! (Then again, I am some decades too old for the target audience so I guess it evens out!)

Hope the next 5 will have the same standard as this one!
