Review of Ms. Marvel

Ms. Marvel (2022– )
5/10
From the MCU, to the M(CW).
25 July 2022
Ms. Marvel is just another entry into what's going to be a long list of MCU content that we are not allowed to dislike, otherwise that means that there is something wrong with those who do - that we're somehow villainous, as Marvel and Disney continue to hide their various ideological priorities behind the guise of "story-telling", and not even all that well for those who can see past the transparent veil; pretentiously trying to fix every single culture, except their own.

In any case, Ms. Marvel is authentically boring, and inspires absolutely no excitement. This show is bland, and ironically, though very colorful, boasts an extreme sense of dullness. I know a "brown girl" being a superhero should be enough to have me doing cartwheels, similarly to why we are expected, bullishly so, to love CW's Supergirl and Batwoman, because I mean, why else would this show explicitly, with a chunky dose of cunning casualness, mention how Kamala is a brown girl right, but sadly, as it turns out (Sarcasm), there is a slight possibility that I prefer "Almond brown girls" (More Sarcasm). So get it right next time Marvel and Disney (Even More Sarcasm).

Ms. Marvel is another flat addition to the MCU's series installments, with mediocre action at best - actually, the action in this series is all the way uneventful and lifeless, a lackluster lead - though I have no problem with Iman Vellani, it's just that her portrayal of Ms. Marvel is as generic as they come, an uninteresting and uncompelling hero, plot twists that twist about as much as a block of wood and are just as intriguing, and, I don't know, I'm just trying to have aspects about this show to draw from, but it really didn't leave much, if any impression on me. Ms. Marvel, though it has no excitement, stakes, tension, or high level of engagement, and is to some extent, an arduous watch, is not bad I suppose (or maybe I genuinely feel like I'm not allowed to dislike this show), but it's not good either. It is simply representative representation represented in a representational representation.

5/10.
