The MCU will welcome a new hero tomorrow in the form of Ms. Marvel and so far, it appears as if her solo show is going to be a nice breath of fresh air for the franchise.
That’s right, the first reviews are in and they’re glowing with praise for the titular character and the series that she stars in, with many people loving how much fun it is so far. And you can see below for just a sample of what critics are saying.
“As colorful and chaotic as a teenager’s imagination, Ms. Marvel wears its heart on its sleeve. It remains to be seen if the show will find its focus amid the many subplots, and if it will deliver more widescreen superhero action to go alongside the teen angst. But as origin stories go, Ms. Marvel brings enough of a new feel to make it an enjoyable watch, both for new viewers and anyone who loves superheroes as much as Kamala Khan.” – Richard Trenholm, CNET
“Of course, this review is based solely on the first two episodes, provided for screening by Disney. With six in total, there is still plenty of space for twists or surprise reveals down the line–so it’s probably best to not bank on anything as a certainty until the season finale debuts in July. That said, based on these early episodes,Ms. Marvel is an extremely fun, deeply charming watch with a cast of great new characters and a gravity that other Disney+ MCU projects have been lacking.” – Mason Downey, GameSpot
“On the whole, then, Ms Marvel is sure to be the latest in a long line of pleasing Marvel Studios projects. it finds a sturdy balance between its multiple moving parts and the overarching mystery about Kamala Khan’s family tree is sure to enthral and captivate audiences throughout its six episode run. In Iman Vellani, too, the MCU has a fantastic Khan/Ms Marvel, who’s sure to steal the show when she makes her Marvel movie debut in The Marvels in summer 2023. Good is not a thing you are; it’s a thing you do”, according to Khan’s comic book counterpart. In the case of her TV series, Ms Marvel is certainly both.” – Tom Power, TechRadar
“Inevitably, “Ms. Marvel” will take the now familiar turn of almost every other Disney+ venture from the studio and tee up Kamala’s story to dovetail with the rest of the MCU. Indeed, Vellani is set to star in Nia DaCosta’s “The Marvels” alongside Larson and Teyonah Parris’ Monica Rambeau (formerly of “WandaVision”). But the looming specter of Marvel obligations to come almost makes this series, with its determination to make Kamala an individual and her neighborhood a home, an even more precious commodity. Before Kamala formally becomes Ms. Marvel and gets subsumed into something greater than herself, she just gets to be herself, and that’s more than enough.” – Caroline Framke, Variety
“Ultimately, the civilian aspect of Ms. Marvel is its strongest feature as the traditional superhero plotline takes a backseat. Some will find this refreshing and others will be frustrated by the lack of the usual Marvel selling point. This story won’t be exactly for everyone, and that’s why it works. Defying expectations, Ms. Marvel breaths life into a pivotal new character and the rich community around her. Whereas the future of the series can feel uncertain at times, these introductory episodes promise just enough entertainment for an exciting debut season.” – Yasmine Kandil, Discussing Film
“Sure, it’s a show with a target audience: designed more to appeal to teenagers than adults. But for those who can roll with the punches of the awkward-but-relatable approach, there is much promise here. Kamala clearly has a bright future mapped out for her in the MCU — we have the delightful prospect of a meeting with Carol Danvers in next year’s The Marvels — and these initial episodes are an encouraging start.” – Destiny Jackson, Empire
Ms. Marvel debuts tomorrow, only on Disney Plus.
