I enjoyed the episode (and it does actually feel a bit different than the other Disney stuff). There were two things I disliked. Firstly the music, which was really inconsistent (the incredibly melancholic music after being told that she.. can't go to a con). Like they weren't sure if they wanted a lot of "ethnic" music, more electronic sounding "young/hip" music or the generic triumphant superhero flare. Pick a lane or combine two things well (for one I'd drop the orchestral stuff altogether). The second thing were the origin of the powers. I don't mind the power change but I mind that the power is external to Kamala and not innate (can others use it?) and that it seemed to be tied to the family in some way, making me think of what the Amazing Spider-Man did with Parker's parents (hated that too). But that can go either way depending on what they do with it. If I didn't know anything about the original story I would be 100% sure that her grandmother was a previous superhero or something.

Really enjoyed the episode aside from the fact they seem to be really leaning into the familial origin of the power. I don't remember it being that way in the comics at all. I think mixing the family stuff with the superhero stuff is a mistake. I'd rather have Kamala have to deal with her family while being a superhero and the trials and growth that both cause.

I just hope they don't stay in Pakistan too long, just because I like most of the characters and the setting. Also, I wish this was a 12 episode series with shorter episodes, I think it might be better that way. Kamala and Nakia being in a complete upheavel about "NightLight" after she had one/two "excursion" is a bit silly.

I'm a bit disappointed in this episode for reasons others have said. Feels rushed, without the characters we've gotten used and the Clan Destined escape was super lame. I'm upset at the threat being world-ending. I would've really liked the whole series to be Kamala coming to terms with her heritage and powers in Jersey while battling some local "street-level" threat. I stopped reading Ms Marvel when they started shoving her into every cosmic and bullshit event because she was popular. Sad to see this process is getting fast forwarded in the MCU.

Arist posted:I think they're the same sonic weapons from the last episode of Ms. Marvel. Kinda weird how they were immediately there. What, are they just following Jen around 24/7? Also, people who are posting spoilers from trailers please label them clearly. There are people who are posting stuff from the last episode as spoilers and it's easy to get the two confused.

I actually finished the first season for the first time today and thought it was kinda slow and slightly repetitive at times. I enjoyed it but it was tiring enough that I'll wait a while till I watch the second season.

Pan Dulce posted:You know, I'd never heard of those numbers, but speaking from a completely pessimistic outlook on people, it's rational. Ms. Marvel isn't the typical 20-30 white male superhero, so some people can't self-insert. She's not established as she's a relatively new introduction in comic lore. Her name itself is confusing to people who just unga-bunga through titles and vaguely recall disliking some female Marvel person. And finally, she's a teen, which makes it annoying for some to watch. Do people actually not watch thing because they think "I can't relate to this main character"? There are plenty of interesting stories that have unrelatable characters (sometimes on purpose). Heck, there's a poo poo load of stories about psychopaths and killers. Also, it's often interesting to see something different and new that you know little about. Also, in a coming of age story I think it's hard not to find something to relate to because the adolescent experience has similar themes in almost every culture / scenario. I know the answer is "people be racist" but when looking at something like Ms. Marvel I can not understand this thought process (straight white guy).

Since there's no callback to it I'm gonna imagine it's just the writers not thinking that far ahead. You can imagine there was an imperceptible cut there.

It's definitely weird that they could have seemingly be picked from any time or place in the universe yet they are all on Earth, in the US and lived in the "last" sixty years.

À bit late on this one but (Loki ending): https://youtu.be/3TWlykZxyrU?si=Oz6hDlkRnfFgbIGt I didn't realise Loki's last line was from Thor (I haven't seen it since it came out). Listening to Hiddleston talk about it made me like it a lot more.

CatstropheWaitress posted:Legion falls into the same trap a lot of Thriller shows do, which is have characters change alliances willy nilly. The big bad from Season 1 is borderline chummy with the rest of the cast by S3, and it sucks. With some characters they write around the shifting changes - possession, reincarnation, magic poo poo - but ultimately it just becomes hard to give a poo poo about any one character when you feel like they could be on any side at any given moment. A bit off topic but if you want a show that handles this masterfully it's Golden Kamuy (it's anime, sorry). Characters shift and form alliances and might act chummy but no one for a second forgets past transgressions or motivations.

I had it in my head that I watched all three seasons but seeing that clip I checked and I only ever watched the first. I think I binged it all while sick which made it even more of a fever dream.

Funny. I just watched The Marvels and I did not enjoy it at all. The story felt barely cohesive with absolutely nothing interesting in it. There were a few things they tried to touch on that could be interesting: Kamala "meeting her stars" and her naïveté clashing with Carol (after that "all those people" scene I thought that was gonna be the crux of the film), Monica's abandonment issues (snore. I didn't watch the tv show that she was in and I forgot the two scenes a little girl might have had in a film five years ago) and Carol's aloneness vs teamness thing. All of those were.. mentioned. I didn't feel like they were given any room to develop and their conclusion was basically nothing. Everything is good now. Villain was boring as gently caress. Again, there was maybe a kernel of an interesting idea but it was done is such a trite way. The "fun" parts were either overdone (the cats poo poo was all over the place and went on too long) or undercooked (the singing planet. Either go ham or don't). I thought I'd enjoy thus cuz Iman and Ms Marvel but while she had some nice scenes I felt like it was missing the core of the fun part of her character because no scenes had room to breathe.

I also don't remember the first movie that well but I didn't remember Carol being that important in Monica's life. How many scenes was she even in? A family friend saying bye when you're twelve and then not coming back cuz they're out saving the universe seems like a weird thing to be holding a grudge about when you're a grown rear end adult.

X-Men 97 got me pretty hyped but the animation looks pretty bad. Why isn't Marvel up to the standard of other animation studios? Even the western ones.
