    I thought Ms. Marvel was one of the better things that they’ve done post-Endgame. I liked the Spider-man “neighborhood superhero” vibes in the first half, I liked the themes of a child of diaspora reconnecting with their heritage but still needing to recontextualize it, and Iman Vellani is a god-damn treasure when, as here, she’s properly cast. The “hard-light” powers and visuals were a decent enough riff on the “embiggening” power from the comics without asking the audience to accept Stretch Armstrong as a major superhero (Good luck, Mr. Fantastic).

    Still had underbaked villains, needless save-the-universe brinksmanship, and some of the flair from the first couple of episodes eroded into Marvel formulas, but overall I enjoyed it.

      Same here here. I loved the Ms Marvel series and didn’t hate the Captain Marvel film.
