Ms. Marvel

Put simply, Ms Marvel is off to a brilliant start. I couldn't suppress my smile for the duration of the first two episodes as the show's colourful world, endearing cast and hilarious wit had me entranced. It's a coming-of-age story meets family comedy-drama by way of superhero origin and it all works superbly.

The combination of this young star, production team, and creative elements is exactly what the premiere episode declares: Cosmic.

Through the first two episodes, Ms. Marvel is a fun examination of the usual coming-of-age issues couched in Kamala’s idea that being a superhero is so much less complicated than actual life.

Luminous newcomer Vellani transcends this brand synergy. She makes Khan a warm, funny, awkward, brilliantly relatable heroine. ... It’s heartening to see Marvel put its might behind this much-needed representation. Even if it’s a cynical move to keep expanding the MCU fandom, at least this charming series welcomes everyone in.

While arguably a little lightweight in nature (though, hey, it’s only two episodes so far), “Ms. Marvel” is more just enjoyably small-scale, human, and full of persuasive allure that should melt the heart of the greatest cynic or troll who feels to put up a bad review of something they haven’t even seen.

This is an instantly captivating, high-energy, relatively light and humorous series with first-rate production values and one of the more likable casts in any series of any genre so far this year.

Using a marginalized culture as a crutch to get a new demographic of viewers. There is nothing creative about making a Mindy Kaling version of a Marvel show, especially if it’s chock-full of stale parent vs. teen dynamics lifted from sitcoms decades older than the characters.

Just fantastic. Watched with teenage boy who was suspicious at first but charmed by the comicstrip effects, especially noticeable in the first few episodes. The ‘making of’ show was a real pleasure, highlighting all the joyful women of Asian heritage who’d worked to make this such a feel-good story, with superpowers descending on an ordinary girl from a Pakistani-American family.

Ms Marvel has many problems, yet thanks to the sincerity and screen power of Iman Vellani, I like the show. The show successfully promoted our new hero and her culture. Insufficient villains, not bad story, very likable new superhero.

Wasn't bad by any means and contrary to the popular opinion I didn't hate it. You are in for a fun show.

It felt more like a Disney channel show, not MCU. It was poorly done, in every way possible.

Started off okay and veered into trash. Skip if you are even a marvel enthusiast.
