Premiers today, 6/8/22 on Disney+.


Personally, I'm going to be waiting until all or most are released and then binge. That's less a knock on this character and more a knock on the Disney+ MCU format of six 40-minute episodes, which to me aren't long or engaging enough to maintain my interest for a full week.

I'll circle back in 6 weeks!

I predict this thread will go to some interesting places.

I watched it, I enjoyed it. It's not going to be groundbreaking. I like the actress, so far.

Staff should go ahead and lock this thread now.

Watched the behind the scenes with my kids last week. The actress is great. Going to check it out tonight.

I haven't watched it yet but based on the stuff I've seen with the lead, I think it will be fun. Not great but fun. Just because she seems so excited about the role and that excitement seems infectious

CGI was weak in the first episode. But it was fine otherwise.

Honest question - the first trailer leaned heavily on the Scott Pilgrim style of filmmaking. I mean heavily. Is that really a big part of the show?

Because as much as I liked Scott Pilgrim, by the end of the first trailer for Ms Marvel I was already over it.

I don't know what that means, so I can't answer your question.

Just flag posts that are trolling or hateful. Staff can handle that without locking the thread hopefully.

I think he means the *click* *click* text graphics that show up on screen when a pen is clicked, or the speech bubbles that show up in a couple of scenes.

Ah, ok. So the beginning has it and then a few other times throughout, but I don't know if I would call it "heavily reliant" or anything.


Carlo - excellent gif

I'll probably wait until the season concludes and view youtube reviews before I give this a shot. Falcon and winter soldier was blah, moon knight was forgettable so this really doesn't give me hope for marvel.

I enjoyed the first episode.

The kids are super hero nerds, so most of us should relate.

I have read that this actress in real life seems like a perfect fit for the character. She apparently had a list of burning MCU questions to grill Kevin Feige over. I just saw the other day that she was pissed about a certain character's unfortunate showing in Doctor Strange 2 (Black Bolt) and she texted Kevin Feige about it. Exactly what you'd expect from a teenaged superfan, which is essentially what Ms. Marvel is.

Watching the actress in interviews, she gives off such an enthusiastic personality that feels perfect for who the character is. Imagine it's something that some people aren't going to enjoy, but she seems tailor made to play Ms Marvel.

I thought the first episode was decent. Definitely seems catered toward a younger audience, and a few scenes felt a bit forced, but something I'm willing to keep watching. I will say that the convention felt very small, not sure if it was supposed to just be a fan-run convention, but I mean, you'd think something in NYC would be bigger. Definitely nitpicky on my part (and almost certainly budget related), but out of everything, that bugged me the most.

Side note: For anyone that plays Overwatch, the aunt at the clothing store (the one talking about the girl who went to Europe) voices Symmetra

The trailer looked pretty "kiddish". As in something intended for children. Is it?

Teens are the main target, imo. It should still be a fun ride for adults.

Her parents are awesome.

Just a comment or directed at someone?

I agree. The dad willing to dress up and take her to the convention is cool, but they also should have expected her to be like "eww dad, gross. how embarrassing!" She's a teenage girl, after all.

pretty trope-y

I thought the parents were awesome, they both made me laugh out loud multiple times. It wasn't meant as a slight.

That was ok. We laughed a good bit and generally enjoyed it.

Lol was that post reported or did the poster realize their mistake?

Moon Knight was excellent. Easily top 3 of Disney + marvel series along with WandaVision and Loki.

The opening sequence was great.

Also hot damn Disney, naming the friend Bruno to get in a no no no Bruno. And then the gay counselor singing from Mulan. Product synergy

I think this is actually the first marvel D plus show in awhile that the first ep actually exceeded my expectations. Parents are great. Looks like it may actually have some tie-ins to future mcu lore (her power source) and the COLOR. This is the most fun looking mcu property since Thor Ragnorak and GOTG

Speaking of the opening sequence, I laughed hard when she said her next topic would be Thor is secretly a gamer.

Noobmaster69 can confirm

I enjoyed it, even though i think it was aimed at a much younger audience.

First episode reminds me of the Hawkeye show in that it just seems upbeat and fun, and not necessarily something that has fans trying to figure out how this show ties into the greater plot line. It's refreshing.

Also the fact that so much of the MCU knows of the events of endgame is because of Scott Langs podcast, chefs kiss

End credits treatment was top-notch. (A weird observation, I know.)
