The Kamala actress is cool, though. I think they have an excellent director, but no script to work with… Well, let's see what will happen in the upcoming episodes. Will adjust my review accordingly if the plot develops to a more interesting and engaging story, as it has so far.

The rating of 4 is because the aesthetics of the show look charming, and the lead is likable, and apart from it being boring, nothing struck me as game breaking so far. We see.

Maybe it is made for kids and not so far for adults...… Expand

This is more like a Disney Channel show for pre-teens or maybe an average WB level show with better special effects. The writing is pretty bad and some of the characters are beyond cartoonish. The biggest problem with the show is that nothing is really happening and the main character is kind of annoying. There is no real plot; There is no motivation for any of the characters; There is no real antagonist; Kamala has extremely vague powers (why change them for the TV show?); The preachy times are a bit much (I half expected them to stare into the camera during the monologue and say "yes I'm talking to you"). I think Iman Vellani is doing a good job with the material given to her but I think her dialog is dumb and it makes her seem like a brat at times. Overall below average.… Expand

With that said, this show has thus far let me down. Why in the love of God does Hollywood sometimes feel the need to try and reinvent the wheel?? Why does she not have her correct superpowers?? This, unfortunately ruins the show for me. Her personality? I will give credit where it's due here. They did a great job capturing and displaying her personality. Her awkwardness, her strong will and her heart are all on point. Her family is included beautifully I thought. These are really the only reasons why I will probably watch the next episode. But man I am so sick and tired of Hollywood always trying to reinvent the wheel.… Expand

The show starts of fine but by the end becomes another below average entry in the MCU. Ms. Marvel herself seems promising and hopefully she can shine in The Marvels movie.

In most cases(By the way, the rating on Metacritic shows that Rotten Tomatoes critics are paid off to leave better reviews.) I understand that this one is likely aimed toward teenagers, but it honestly feels like a show for 10-year-olds. In most cases would be fine, but as a piece of an interconnected series of movies and is confirmed to be in the next Captain Marvel movie aiming it toward the general audience seems like a no-brainer to me. The character is uninteresting, undefined powers, and the show feels like a bad modern version of Freaks and Geeks. Now credit is due towards the style, I do enjoy the moving art and all of the visuals, the acting is fine, but the characters themselves especially the side characters like Bruno (had to look it up to even remember his name) are just really hard to connect with because they don't seem like believable people. I think the only time I felt emotion for a character is when I felt bad for Kamalas's father when he dressed up as The Hulk and was yelled at. The show has heart and good acting, but the problem is the marketing, the characters, and the tone.… Expand

The common criticism of the Marvel shows is that they need more time than the 6 episode format allows, but I'd have been happy had this ended far sooner than Ep 6. It was really, really, boring. It was essentially a programme about Kamala and her family - if thats what interests you then fair play, but I had zero interest in it. Ultimately, nothing really happened - there were massive amounts of time spent on things which were totally inconsequential.

Apart from all that, the acting wasn't particularly good, and the CGI was pretty poor in parts.… Expand

Kamala Khan is a much more interesting and complex character in the comics than what was seen in here. In fact this series felt like many other shows that came to nothing like Runaways and Cloak & Dagger with the only exception being that this character will have a bigger role to play with her appearance in 2023's The Marvels and how the season finale hinted that she will have something to do with the introduction of mutants, AKA the X-Men, into the MCU.

Beyond that, Ms. Marvel had some interesting cultural weight, but as an introduction to the character it felt excessive and mostly aimless.… Expand

Started strong but dropped the ball by the end which is an unfortunate trend with these Marvel shows but it really sucks more for this one because the first 3 episodes are honestly some of the best MCU content we have gotten in a couple yearsStarted strong but dropped the ball by the end which is an unfortunate trend with these Marvel shows but it really sucks more for this one because the first 3 episodes are honestly some of the best MCU content we have gotten in a couple years but unfortunately episodes 4,5, and the first half of 6 exist that sour everything. Iman Vellani is one of the best MCU characters now because the whole show does do a great job at fleshing her character out along with Vellani’s amazing performance. This show really shines bright when it’s showing us small character moments which is what episodes 1-3 and the second half of 6 were mostly focusing on. Knowing that she is gonna be in The Marvels next year is the only reason I really have any interest in that movie. The rest of the cast and characters that aren’t the villains are all pretty great and their interactions are great. The editing and filmmaking of episodes 1-3 is great as well. This show started out feeling like it had style to it. Episodes 4-6 get rid of that style and a lot of those great character interactions though. It honestly feels like this show was made by two different people. 1-3 feels like it’s made by passionate filmmakers while 4-the first half of 6 feels like it’s made by a committee. The villains here are garbage. They aren’t memorable, their plan and background are incredibly confusing and nonsensical and they don’t make any major impact on the show and are mostly written out by the end of episode 5. The action here is also not very good either. It’s way too choppy and doesn’t let anyone have a good sense of what is actually going on in the fight. The actual story of the series itself isn’t amazing either. I did say it started out strong but it kind of got muddled and confused by the end. If these characters and episodes 1-3 weren’t so good then this show would honestly be one of the weakest Marvel shows but as of now, it’s one of the better ones. If you want to see some interesting and very likable new characters then definitely check this out but don’t expect anything else in the show to be as good.… Expand

This show is wholesome, VFX are good-not-great, the soundtrack is cool & the locations where this was shot looked great. My biggest problem with the show were the so called "villains". They are FAR from intimidating, evil or even a threat to Kamala. Maybe that's what they wanted all along, but if not, they unfortunately produced the worst MCU villains to date. Nothing against the actors, but this shows writing & plot was average at best.… Expand

Very mediocre show. The acting from most was okay and believe able but not enough time spent with characters to care about them.

The direction of the story was terrible and should have been fleshed out and really made believable. This is CW superhero status. I’m all about other people, ethnicities getting their due, but man do it in a good way so you can capture all the audiences and not just one portion of them. Missed opportunity for sure because this show could have been a gateway for people that aren’t Muslim or brown to learn about Pakistan culture, religion, the partition history that could have added superhero elements to it to make it interesting for westerners; but it was just there to be there and I just didn’t care. This is coming from a brown person from India.… Expand

As with all of the other shows, it starts off promising before it fumbles at the end. This however has tons of fun characters though and a fun style for Episodes 1-3 and part of 6.

I'm really shock there was little to no politics, that I remember at least. Like every other mcu disney plus show, this would've worked way better as a movie. A simple 2 hour film how hard is that, but you stupidly chose to stretch all theses terrible shows with nothing but boring bs that doesn't matter and is completely boring. You're really telling me you idiots couldn't cut out 1 hour of this boring crap. Wandavision is also crap but it still worked as a show and didn't have a simple movie plot that was streched out to oblivion. The only reason these shows exist is because you want people to stay subscribed to dplus for as long as possible and it's not even working so you might as well just stop. CG, not important to me. What makes a good show or movie in story and characters. Both of which are good in this show. There aren't any huge plot holes but I hate thqt they basically made kamla green lantern for no other reason than shes a woman and woman are best at everything and men suck. That is what your telling us, right? You did the same stupid thing with Captain Marvel basically making her Nova, whose literall name is human rocket.… Expand
