Ms. Marvel (Page 1 of 3)

Predictable is a good word. I was just bored by it and really don't care for the powers. She's different enough from Mr. Fantastic in the comics and her powers in the comics go with the whole awkward vibe better. Hopefully this will pick up some steam or at least be a little less paint by numbers.

Also I can't believe you liked C&D better than Runaways, Fizza

Part of it could be because, as a reader of both C&D and Runaways, I just saw the adaption of the clunky 80's origin for C&D, to the small screen to be prescient and even a little subversive. Whereas the very subversive 00's origin for The Runaways was, for me, squandered...that series became what we agreed this first Ep of Ms Marvel seemed to be, predictable. But whatever the reasons may be I loved Tandy & Ty!

Also, I agree with you on "her powers in the comics go with the whole awkward vibe better." I also liked her family dynamic in the comics much better. That seemed more grounded, this seemed pretty much like every other portrayal of a Middle Eastern family out there.

Not to say that anything was out right uncomfortable but it didn't feel very textured for, or maybe original to, (at least to me) the Kamala Khan I was hoping to see. Still, as merc was saying it is early days.

Agreed, that's why the first two Eps may've helped us get a better feel for what is going on... Although had they dropped the first two Moon Knight's at once it wouldn't have helped me

Not familiar with the comic and found the show more entertaining than expected. Hope it holds up.

YES, 100000%!!!!  But I have a feeling they're not going to get there in the MCU anyways

Not only focused on a teen audience, but focused on a teen audience in that particular way that only dorky middle-aged people do it ;P

I didn't like it at all, as has already been said the target audience is teens, and being of a senior age didn't fall into my age bracket.

I do like MU quite a bit, but it seems as if now Disney have got their hands on it they are throwing out shows just to get people to sign up to the channel...at least that's my opinion.

Also notable: So far Disney+ usually released only one either MCU or Star Wars show at a time, then the next shortly after. But this one they are releasing concurrently with and even on the same day as Obi-Wan Kenobi.

That's nice to hear. Whether I am enjoying this interpretation or not, I am a Ms Marvel fan so I do hope to hear more about this tween series from those not already a supporter of Kamala

That.

I've watched it and will watch another 1-2 episodes because I like the universe all in all, but unless it can grow out of the teen atmosphere, I will just let it go.

Not sure how relevant it might be in the future films/universe...

From the pictures I saw, something like an AvengerCon would never happen in such a small location. But that's not the issue:

It is when you value your time. I'll check out 1x2 but don't have high hopes.

hmm I have yet to watch eps 2. maybe they should have got the original comic book writer to do the job as with Stargirl & Geof Johns? Is he/she still alive? if so it must make them angry to see their creation given a bum deal
