    Already Surpassing Expectations

    The trailers honestly didn't look that great to me, and I was pretty much convinced that this would be one of the worst things to come out of the MCU. I was wrong. This was pretty damn good and was a solid start to a series that has so much potential! Iman was great and I can't wait for next week!

    Solid opening

    I don't understand these negative reviews already. For not being the biggest Ms Marvel fan, I'm digging the style and tone of this show. Tells a solid story of a kid trying to be just that, a kid.

    A strong start

    From the get go Iman owns this character with a phenomenal performance in a fun and epic opening scene, the editing, acting and cinematography from this episode is great. There are some issues with it however I personally didn't enjoy the avengers con sequence but beside that this was a great start. I hope if people can move past the power changes they will see this is a great start to the show.

    SO MUCH FUN!!!

    Promising start to this character!!! Great acting from the parents and Ms Marvel herself. Clearly aimed at a younger demographic, but still a lot of fun for the older MCU fans too. Not an action-packed episode, more character-building, which is great, and gives a little taste of things to come. Not all superheroes need to be so serious, and I'm here for Ms Marvel.

    Bland plot with some dazzling editing.

    I've seen this story so many times. Young female who wants to find out who she really is and let's go of cultural traditions to become that. I guess it's new with it being in marvel, but it's not really that interesting so far. The characters aren't unlikeable but Kamala is always kinda bored and lazy. The editing however was really fun and creative. There was clearly a lot of passion put into the visuals of this show and I do appreciate that. Although I don't think I'm really that interested to see a second episode. Eh. It's not bad... But not great.
