Seeing Red

The action and cgi isn't good the way it's filmed is week and poor. The acting is great and the culture is fun but the story just feels messy. The camera work feels sloppy and the quirkiness from the last three episodes seems to have faded. The clandestine feels shoehorned in and whilst I was open to the change in powers and enjoyed it at first I dont know how I feel about it now. The cgi isn't great on the powers and it feels they aren't well utilised the power change makes less and less sense.

Yet another solid addition to the series. Every week I watch this, I am convinced further and further that Iman is a perfect cast for Kamala! Can't wait for next week, especially after how this episode ended!

This is honestly great... Unless any of the other Marvel D+ shows, this show actually takes it's time explore the characters and the lore. And I absolutely love the direction it's taking right now. The fight's are pretty good, the stakes are high, and yet it's still a very personal story. I think it's thrilling.

We're now four episodes into this show and it makes sense that we'd finally be taken deep into Kamala's family roots. That's what this whole show has been about. And the family aspect has been the show's most interesting drawing force, so it only makes sense that we'll continue that part of her story, this time a little more intimately. And while doing this, we're also getting a closer look at how the final episodes are going to look and what's waiting Kamala very soon. This episode was yet again, a joyous episode that results in a big and enjoyable chase sequence throughout Karachi.

As I mentioned, this episode is all about expanding that familial connection to the show. Now, we get introduced to a different side of Kamala's family, and with that, we also get more details about the story and where this thing is actually headed. A new ally was discovered in the form of Red Dagger and his organization, and the antagonists are forming themselves as very formidable during a chase sequence that gave me goosebumps because of how awesome it was. It was so refreshing to see a good foot-chase scene again, and to see all the ways our heroes managed to evade captivity. It's really good and I'm liking the way they're treating their action in this show. Kamala is clearly not trained, nor has any real fighting technique so she often gets herself in trouble, which is nice to see for a chance. And don't get me wrong, I like the action sequences of something like "Hawkeye" (for the most part), but this is a little more in my realm of enjoyment. It isn't a totally perfect episode as it still struggles a little with its pace. We're being introduced to a lot of stuff really quickly that is then moved to the side for something else. It's super quick sometimes, and it's not always to my liking. I was very intrigued by the ending of this episode, and I'm excited to see how it factors into next week's episode and then, ultimately, the finale. This has been enjoyable so, let's hope it continues.

"Seeing Red" continues the excellent streak that this show is on at the moment with more family chemistry and more awesome lore being revealed. I'm excited to see how they'll finish this and what this show means for the overall Marvel Cinematic Universe, but I'm sure they'll bring it all to a fascinating conclusion.

I really like Iman and the rest of the cast, but they really need to up the quality of both the writing and the action. Even in a world with cosmic powers, magic, gods, and a multiverse, it's ridiculous that a Pakistani-born Muslim teenage girl is allowed to roam the streets of Karachi on her own without so much as a car. This was obviously written by someone who has very little idea of life in the subcontinent, and shoehorning in 5 seconds of Pasoori isn't going to save subpar writing.

As for the action, I get this story is for a younger audience, but even they are too used to the kind of action we got in Shang Chi, Endgame, or even Hawkeye/FATWS. Been an MCU fan for a decade, but I'm really worried about its future.
