Marvel Studios’ Ms. Marvel Episode 2 Preview Clip

I really hoped by the end of this series I was going to say hey that wasn't so bad they really finished with a bang, but no, the final episode fell flat, I wasn't a fan of this show, it's getting tough to be a blind faith believer in Marvel Studios these days. I'm more and more worried about the future.

Finally watched the series....not great, not awful....not spectacular. I will say I liked Imani Vellani, and the costume at least in the final episode does look like what she wore in the comics (except for lack of boots).

So the show not only changed her powers but also her.............species for lack of a better term to prevent spoilers.

I actually really liked her Dad, he plays the part really well and I could even see the family storyline being better if Kamal had just a single dad and maybe a more radical brother, which could focus on their less-than-perfect relationships but what we get in the show is a very clean cut happy family. There's no real tragedy in the family, we only have the partition, the tragedy of the past, which doesn't work as well because it's as far removed from Kamala as it can be, there was a lot of potential to make Ms. Marvel into superhero version of Persepolis but they decided to play it safe even if it made show creatively bankrupt.

After the pilot episode show's quality gets lower with every episode, it looks and feels cheap even narratively, which sucks because the show really had serious potential, whoever they picked for creatives really blew it and gave a really bad start for Kamala's character, I heard finale gets better but so far it seems beyond saving, hopefully, in the upcoming Marvels movie they will just ignore this series and do something actually interesting for Kamala.

I agree to a certain extent, I have watched every episode and as they have progressed the more cringe things have become, the show seems like it's catering way to much to a younger audience yet also wants the long term MCU fans to be interested, the story gets looser as it goes, deviates far from the source material, the characters threads break, the humour is hard to swollow , the villains of the show are poorly done and so far removed from the comic counterparts, far too much is made up, Ms. Marvel's powers look horrible on screen, and her interacting with villains and other heros just seems awkward (while it may be they are trying to make it that way) and makes you feel embarrassed but not in a witty way for her. I'm still going to watch to the end, but it's my least favorite MCU show so far, However that being said if this show was just a show about a girl named Kamala who was living her teen life and loving superheroes, and she had no powers I'd be more a fan, her family at least has some shine and her story with them is actually fairly decent, but as a Super Hero show I'm having a hard time.

Only watched the first episode. Just realized I haven't seen any others, maybe I'll tune in today.

I didn't think the show was half bad. The casting was great. The kid seems like she has a great personality (as did the one who played America). Not to say all is forgiven as far as how they changed her origin and powers, but it's pretty much what they made it out to be so far. It's quirky and weird and kinda has that old Lizzy McGuire/Malcolm in the Middle thing going, but it's different and maybe different is just the shot in the ayass these almost too predictable Disney+ formulas need right now.

The best thing about it is, though I'm sure the show will be sure to give plenty of love to Captain Bestest Evaaah!, this show will mostly actually be about Kamala Khan and have plenty of actual Ms. Marvel in it, unlike Moon Knight, which had minimal amount of actual Moon Knight in it and was clearly made to promote another character.

Of course, it is only 2 episodes in, and aside from the typical Disney template, you never know what you can expect from Disney so there's still a chance, and probably a likelihood, that they'll still screw this one up too.

Watched the first episode earlier today. Loved the direction. The jump cuts, the close-ups, the environmental details. Definitely the closest to an Edgar Wright MCU production. I'm gonna make sure to watch the second episode as soon as I can.

I saw Episode 1 the other night and actually liked it much more than I thought I was going to.
