still too much faffing around. and her super powers are BORING. And the bollywood music/dancing scene no thanks - confused focus
The whole thing comes across as sooo desperate to reach out to Muslims and that Bollywood dance routine at the wedding was the final straw for me. Even my wife commented, and she was the one who made us watch another couple of episodes after the first one.
The scenes with the djin (I want to say "fight" scenes but fight is too strong a word) were just so badly done. Such a weak storyline and...
No, just no.

Like always, I skipped forward through the dancing. If I wanted to watch people dance I'd go watch the tictacs.

Well, at least they are accurate (to include the jinn):
[...] Across the Middle Eastern and North African nations surveyed, belief in jinn ranges from 86% in Morocco to 55% in Iraq. [...]

When I first read about wide-spread Muslim jinn belief years ago, I couldn't believe it!

Well they are in the Quran, so it'd be analogous to Christians believing in demons.

Yeah, and quite a few seems to do, but I wasn't able to find current numbers.

Re: Ms. Marvel
what I find so objectionable about this show 5 minutes are wasted on closing credits , fine if this was a Marvel film but not a tv show. Compare, Stargirl Season 2 last eps just 20 or so SECONDS.
Oh by the way the new speak is "British occupied India" rather than "British India" not as if India was ever ruled by the "Indians" but part of the Mughal empire for centuries, the British just replaced them, so USA must now be called "European Occupied America" All you lot go home to Europe where you belong & leave America to the indigenous peoples! You have overstayed your welcome!!!!!

Re: Ms. Marvel
I am starting to enjoy this show. just forget it is supposed to be Marvel superheror. Oh eps 4 is Marvels superhero version of James Bond - subtitle it Kamala Bond, shaken not stirred. eps 4 very atmospheric.

Haha... I don't know if I can feel that atmosphere, maybe Spy Kids at best 
however I do share the sentiment. I too am starting to enjoy this series and the key really is to forget who it is supposed to be... not my favorite part of MCUing a comic character but such is life 
Re: Ms. Marvel
well eps 5 was short? I get the impression Marvel needs to have more confidence in the show than they are showing. Only one eps left, there should be atleast 3 more.

Re: Ms. Marvel
Episode 5 brought a lot into focus for this iteration of Kamala Kahn, over all I apricated what they did and am interested in seeing how season one ends... then I guess we're on to the next MCU thingy, She-Hulk... another MARVEL property I have some love for and starting the ever amazing Tatiana Maslany! So, fingers crossed

I much prefered Moon Knight. I thought Moon Knight started off well, then got worse as it went on, until I didn't like the last few episodes at all. With Ms Marvel, it started off crap and just got worse.
I'll see where they take her in The Marvels, but if it's anything like this tripe I'm out.

Agree, of the two I prefer Moon Knight and of the six Disney+ MARVEL series I'd personally say it goes Loki, WandaVision, Moon Knight, Hawkeye, Falcon & Winter Solider then Ms Marvel...
The thing is, judging this series against programing made for a more adult audience is doing the series a disservice... I love the comics (as I have mentioned many times, I know) but even that is aimed a younger audience than say Iron Man and Thor books... heck even Peter Parker Spider-Man books.
And YES that ending was so saccharine I had to take some insulin in order to make it through to the end but, for what it was, it was okay.
I would say there are lots of better tween superhero live-action series but really what are the contenders?
Sure there are plenty of movies; Ben 10, Zoom, Shark Boy & Lava Girl, Sky High, the Witch Mountains to start... however save for this series and Stargirl what do we have; Naomi 
, The Thundermans, Henry Danger, there's always the many incarnations of the Power Rangers or perhaps if we broaden the definition we can include The Sarah Jane Adventures... or add a deep cut like the classic My Secret Identity (I watched a lot of retro tv as a kid 
)
Seriously though I can't recall many other series in this niche that really was all that much better, so as this kind of thing goes... it was okay.
I wouldn't say it's anywhere near as well done as the source material but that's a lot of adaptations. In some ways it's also so very different it may even cause some confuse with new readers who convert from the Disney+ series (which makes me wonder if at some point, say after Secret Wars, she may end up with more comic book like powers).

Re: Ms. Marvel
In season 1 there are 6 episodes.
But after the 6th episode the show is canceled, this is not good. Many people watched this show, so I dont understand why Disney canceled it. They say about 775 000 people watched each episode in US households, and those numbers are American watchers only. BUT Disney+ does not only run in the US, but how many watched it it Austria, Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Bahrain, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Latvia, Lebanon, Libya, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, Morocco, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Oman, Palestine Territories, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, U.K., Vatican City, Yemen, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong, across Latin America, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. So I dont understand why they only use US Hoseholds to use their viewer ratings of 775 000.
So how many people watched Ms. Marvel world wide. That's a problem with US companies, they only use US data, to cancel shows, orders or shopping. Then let Norway only use Norwegian sales for military excitement, so we can cancel orders from other countries like the US. Just saying this because of its wrong that countries only use their own countries numbers.

You may know she will next appear with the Eternals. I think the show was intended only as an intro. Some thing similar happened with Hawkeye - the introduction of the new one? where will she next turn up? These shows are not like Stargirl which are standalone shows?

Re: Ms. Marvel
Yeah this wasn't cancelled, it was just a limited series. It was always going to be 6 episodes independent of viewer numbers.
