Ms. Marvel

Ms. Marvel tells the story of teenager Kamala Khan who is a fanatic for superheroes, especially her personal hero Captain Marvel. Kamala feels like an outsider in every aspect of her life, from school to even her own family. She then gets her own superpowers and starts to gain a lot of confidence and tries to follow in the footsteps of all the other great superheroes who she admires so much. I have to admit I didn't have high expectations going in but the series is engaging enough that it held my attention throughout the season. It only has six 45 minute episodes so it's an easy binge. If you're a Marvel fan then give this a try, especially because she's starting to play a bigger part in the MCU...it started earlier this year in the Captain Marvel sequel The Marvels.

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!

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.

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!

I'm gonna cut straight to the point this is overall solid show. The reason why most people don't like it is because it's not a white character and that's it. The overall show was fun you enjoy the parents they feel natural. The main character feels like an actual teenager, especially when I was going to school in the 90s. He is just in the clouds. Action scenes aren't bad but like I said, it's a show that involves a kid just learning to use her powers. You really get to learn the backstory of the characters, the culture and a little bit of history as well, which can never hurt. The characters stays true to the source.
