Ms. Marvel (Page 3 of 3)

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.

Well, at least they are accurate (to include the jinn):

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

But then forty percent of U.S. adults ascribe to a strictly creationist view of human origins, believing that God created them in their present form within roughly the past 10,000 years.

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

Religions are strange.

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!!!!!

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 

And here I was wondering what they were going to do to fill ep 6.

Ended up being ok, at least much better than moon knight.

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).

As for

@merc

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?

seems like she has reappeared with Capt Marvel in her own film "The Marvels" came out this year. The review I saw said it was rubbish.

Hmm.  I watched it once and that was more than enough.  Crap.
