Featured reviews
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.
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.
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.

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!
