EPISODE 3 MS MARVEL REVIEW Marveling over Ms Marvel

  Well, y'all know the drill so let's get right into it- Ms. Marvel ep 3! First lemme say, I really felt that Kamala's 'being hero good :D vs being hero bad :( ' internal conflict this episode felt artificial and made up, since we haven't seen enough proof that suggests she doesn't like being one- in the previous episode, she's having fun. But then again, life hits you like a mjolnir to the ribs. One thing I do appreciate tho, is how the makers of the show went the realistic way of depicting the immediate aftermath of gaining powers. Just, Kamala's plans and actions as a teenager with superpowers feel true-to-life. Now, talking about the "twist" supervillains (I say twist with air quotes because it was honestly laughable how quickly they switched up) who are a-okay with blowing up a child if it opens up a gate to their homeworld, who exactly are the 'Clandestines'? Well, in Marvel Comics, they are actually the Clan Destines (ie...

EPISODE 2 REVIEW Marveling over Ms Marvel

EPISODE 2 MS MARVEL REVIEW Like Kamala's bracelet unlocked some power within her, I think Ms. Marvel has unlocked the reviewing power within me. This is my second review for the new marvel show, and frankly, I'm surprised by my initiative. Woohoo, go me I guess.  Welp, onto the meat, ngl, I was rolling my eyes when Kamran showed up and I thought the show was going the route of 'cool guy, girl, nerd' love triangle. Sooo, expectations pleasantly subverted.  (Text in image: I spent way too long on this to express my mild distaste for unnecessary love triangles)  And also, is it just me who thinks the detective guy is the same one from No Way Home? That guy who tricked Ned? Comment below and tell me if you think they're the same. Nevertheless, he's established himself as the 'un trustworthy authority' so let's see if his (and the lady detective's) goals are nefarious.  There's a conflict building with Bruno and Caltech, and I stg, if he stays and...

(EP1 REVIEW) Marveling over Ms. Marvel

 EPISODE 1 MS MARVEL REVIEW Was hyped for South East Asian rep in Ms Marvel, and it did not disappoint! I'm Indian, and the family dynamics felt so on point to me, especially kamala's mom. Kamala herself feels like such a relatable character- an excitable fan girl, forced to think about the future and completely avoiding talking about it to fantasize and daydream (some scenes felt like a callout lol)  I hope the 2nd ep properly tells us about kamala's powers, since these ones are a departure from her comic counter part. Overall, the look and aesthetic of the episode confirms that this is Marvel's most visually creative show yet, several shots flowed dynamically, and not a single scene looked boring. I can't wait to see more!  Also, there's just something special about hearing non-english words and songs that you understand lol.  It's too early to rate the show, but i have high expectations now.  EDIT AFTER READING IMDB COMMENTS; Alot of 1 star comments are ...
