Yes, 12-year olds will enjoy "Ms. Marvel" the most! ... But I felt idiotic watching the first episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022) and won't bother with the rest, whereas here I know exactly what I'm in for and can easily let go to enjoy a coming-of-age adventure. Also, the show actualy provides a couple of movie-magic moments.
Yes, there is some cringe ... But there's also a lot of heart, both behind and in front of our screens.
Yes, the special effects in ALL (!) Marvel's TV shows are still less immersive than in their movies ... But the music score that blends industrial with ethnic and the inspired cinematography make up for it.
But here's the main kicker: Iman Vellani is instantly likeable. Her character Kamala Khan has the Tom Holland potential to get under my skin, whereas Brie Larson's Carol Danvers will probably remain the least likeable MCU character unless she does some serious damage control.
In this regard, Ms. Marvel is already a much-appreciated addition to the Marvels. But I suspect this show will be easily misunderstood by some MCU die-hards. Sorry lads, sometimes putting on big-boy pants means letting go of the expectation that everything Marvel creates is intended precisely for you.
