Daxtreme Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 1 hour ago, Torontofan said: Also tv shows are never really as popular as movies I find. its like how most people who watched Doctor Strange had no idea what Scarlet Witch character arc was up to. That is true. My feed on letterboxd right now is filled with people who watched MoM and going like "ok so I never watched WandaVision and nothing makes sense wtf didn't know it was required viewing" Marvel have always sold themselves on the fact that you can skip half the content and still get it. It's not always the case anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Terrific Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I’m loving Ms. Marvel. It’s fun and thoughtful. I’m slightly disappointed that it isn’t getting higher numbers but it doesn’t really need to. It is broadly liked, potentially loved by younger fanbase and gets a huge boost with the Marvels next year. Maybe there’s a S2. Maybe not. I’ve been seeing the MCU-is-all-the-same shit less and less. So that’s nice. MCU is set up more like actual comics than ever before. Read the big titles. Read the small titles. Read ‘em all. Whatever.

ZeeSoh Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Another solid episode, first 2 were slightly better for me because it focused more on family, culture, high school, etc. But it’s understandable that they would somewhat get reduced attention as the series progresses because there needs to be action. The wedding stuff was lovely. The dancing was hilarious and awesome lol. I wish it was longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lehnsherr Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Yeah I love this show so much I only wish it was more than 6 episodes cause with what they've set up there's alot to explore with family dynamics, her high school life, her training to be a superhero etc. Can't really explain it but it actually "feels" like a proper TV show as opposed to a movie chopped up in 6 parts. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daxtreme Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I still think they should keep "Captain Marvel" as the title and reveal that Kamala is in it through marketing and trailers. "The Marvels" sounds just wtf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Terrific Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) I think we’re getting three or four Marvels in “The Marvels” though. Edited June 25, 2022 by Mr Terrific Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRA Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Cliffhanger is a trope for MCU shows after episode 4 apparently, but this got me hooked and ending on a great shot. This show is threatening to dethrone Loki as my favorite. My only real complaint* (and I'll echo what somebody else somewhere said) are the Djinn/Inhumans (they're Inhumans in everything but name at this point) feeling like leftovers from an Agents of SHIELD episode. But when everything else is buzzing so well, eh.... *=Farhan Akhta made a good Hollywood debut here. The guy they got for Red Dagger has nice chemistry with Iman.

Menor the Destroyer Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Yeah, I didn't like this episode much. Rushed and all over the place. Unfortunate after the series started off so well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daxtreme Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Same here. It was convoluted, introduced too many characters, and had too much pointless action. A shame after the first 3 episodes that were just so great. But hey it ends on a great cliffhanger so hopefully it picks up after! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Caballo Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 This... Clan Destine is just awful. Some of the worst villains in the MCU. So cheap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Freak Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) Yeah, Marvel really said Wanna bet, bitch? to 'A hero is only as good as their villains' I hope once the superior Fantastic Four and X-Men villains debut in the MCU, they start moving around and menacing other heroes too. It's fun in the comics when an X-Men villain like Juggernaut or FF villain like Doctor Doom is fighting an Avenger or Spider-Man. The few good villains in the MCU don't need to be killed off in just one film or turned into an anti-hero. They seem to have finally gotten the ball rolling with Kang/Immortus in Loki and Quantum Mania so fingers crossed that practice continues in other movies and shows.

Spidey Freak Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 On a more positive note, the show vs. movie format really benefits the supporting cast. Mama Muneeba's characterization >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the decremental crumbs given to poor Marisa Tomei and the Aunty May actresses before her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 This is so far ahead of the other marvel stuff. My gawd. It’s so textured, and feminine, and mature. I can’t wait to watch again with my mom and cry a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menor the Destroyer Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Another disappointing episode. I wanted a show about Kamala navigating coming-of-age while being a superhero and dealing with her life and drama with family/friends, not whatever this has turned into. Spoiler Time travel is something that should only be deployed with care and benefit for the story. Here it's just thrown together so casually and adds nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daxtreme Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Another pointless and weird episode. Fully agree with you Menor, this was MUCH more interesting as a coming of age story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestPicturePlutoNash Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 @charlie Jatinder reminded me that I haven't recapped the last few eps I still find the show charming and an explosion of color. I appreciate the insight into character and heritage, mostly unprecedented territory in the MCU outside of Black Panther. albeit, there's some subplots that never blossomed such as the friend and the church. I'm nervous the finale is gonna drop the ball as I think the stakes aren't strong enough. There's a lack of a deeply compelling villain. But I'm still curious how they tie this together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
