Jay 37,323 Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 Huh, you're right. 2022 MCU shows are Moon Knight (6), Ms Marvel (6), What If 2 (9), She Hulk (10), the Giacchino werewolf thing (1), and the GOTG holiday special (1). That's 33 weeks. 2022 SW shows are Boba Fett (7), Obi-Wan (6), Andor (12), Ashoka (unknown, let's guess 8), and maybe Mando 3 (probably 8 again). That's 41 weeks Damn.

mstrox 6,647 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I think the show is great - it’s been at its best when the superhero stuff has been largely in the background, tbh, although it’s a lot of fun overall. Yavar Moradi and Amer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerateWohl 4,344 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 MCU is best when you rather feel disturbed by the superhero stuff and think, nice and interesting story, good characters, but why does now this superhero thing kick in?

Popular Post Jay 37,323 Posted July 11, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2022 Ms. Marvel 1x01 Generation Why Oh man, I loved this! The best part was the super fun comic book-y transitions from one scene to another a times, they were all done very well and looked awesome! I also loved the way they displayed the contents of text messages in the universe, super fun. The second best part was Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan - she is GREAT! it's both the way the character is written - finally a main character who is fun and happy, able to roll with punches and be goofy, make mistakes, and isn't saddled with some big emotional trauma that hangs over everything - and the way Vellani plays her - she's GREAT! She was completely charming and also completely believable - the best lead in any of these type of shows in a while I would say. Everything about this whole episode was really fun and enjoyable. I liked the insight into her home life, her school life, her friendship with Bruno, her obsession with Carol Danvers, her interest in cosplay and the Avengers. I loved that we get to see her get the source of her powers, and use them for the first time, and is thrilled to see what she can do instead of being mortfied (maybe I've been watching too much the Boys lately). The laying out of the plan to sneak to AvengerCon, juxtaposed with the actual execution of that plan, was super fun. I loved that all the stories climax at the convention, which was full of so many fun easter eggs. The actual visualization of her powers was really cool looking, I loved the little bridges as well as the giant arm and hand. The rolling Giant-Man head was fun too. And of course when she comes home, she still gets a talking-to from her mother, which was better than her just getting away with it. And there's some Damage Control peeps onto her too! The one from Spider-man (that's also in Succession) and Fig from OITNB! Overall, one of the most thrilling MCU shows - heck, show or movie! - to come along in a while so far - let's hope it keeps it up! mstrox, Yavar Moradi and JNHFan2000 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,323 Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 Ms. Marvel 1x02 Crushed Well that was just as much fun as the first episode! Sadly the fun comic book-y transitions were absent - hopefully those come back in future episodes! But the text messages still taking over various background items is still such a treat. I absolutely loved the montage of her training with Bruno, trying to get a hold of her powers and how they work - this was very nice to see! I like how Bruno told her the bangle just unlocked something, and that the power comes from within her. This "new senior kid" that shows up - I knew immediately that he was more than just some random kid - but I figured he was a plant from Damage Control, so didn't see it coming that he was actually there because of her powers, and is the son of the lady Kamala has been seeing in visions! I love how optimistic and happy the show continues to be, the big music moment (Love that song!) of her going to school happy to have a new crush was super fun. The minor subplot where Kamala's friend Nakia wants to run for the board at their mosque was ok, as was the strange reveal that there's a shoe thief there; A future crime for Kamala to solve? I loved the climax that involves Kamala having to use her powers to save a kid, and really stumbling and bumbling her way through it and almost not saving him - the best part was the mini-triumphant moment where she images all the praise she will get. I loved that Damage Control showed up immediately and she had to escape them too. This show is great! Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,323 Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 Ms. Marvel 1x03 Destined I liked the early exposition dump about who the Clandestines are, that Kamala's great-grandmother was one of them, and that Kamala's bangle might be able to help them get home. The way it opened with an actual flashback to 1942 where the woman from Kamala's visions (Kamram's mother), Najma, finds the bangle in rubble was really neat. I also liked the humorous moment of relief for Kamala when she learns Kamram is actually 17 and some some ancient immortal I liked Bruno's apprehension about all this new info, and the Clandestine's motives; him warning her it may be dangerous nicely sets them up to lose patience, and turn on Kamala later in the episode. And he makes her a mask! I am now thinking she will keep getting more pieces of her final costume throughout the rest of the series... Boy was it rude for the Damage Control agent to not take her shoes off at Kamala and Nakia's mosque, and I liked that Nakia questioned their motives. And she won that board spot! The wedding was super fun! I loved the pure joy, and all the dancing, etc. I was so bummed when the Clandestines had to come in and crash it, and that Kamala had to be the one to pull the fire alarm and get everyone out of there. The fight sequences that ensued were all really well-done! I liked that there was different stuff going on, in different locations (the kitchen, the main ball room, etc). it was interesting that it all came to and end Najma trying to use the bangle and a vision of a train shows up and knocks everyone out, and all the Clandestine get captured by Damage Control! I liked that Nakia got to see Kamala using her powers, and I liked the littletag where Tyesha and another bride are outside and complement each other Interesting ending where Kamala's grandmother said she saw the train too, and that she must come to Karachi!

JNHFan2000 2,944 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I really liked the final episode of the series. I think it's great that they kept the whole thing on a logical scale and not suddenly make it bigger. It really fit the character. I'll put some things in spoilers Spoiler The way she found her name was really great. A perfect way to link her culture to who she is as a hero. The same way here logo is part of her name in Pakistani. And I think that what Bruno says means Kamala is a Mutant. And that means she is the first official mutant in our universe of the MCU. That is great!!! Karpman even uses a small statement on synths of the X-Men TV Series theme!!!!! The end credits scene was a bit of a mindfuck. I don't know what's going on, but I am intrigued. It was cool to see Brie Larson. I really love this show. Don't care what anyone says. For me it was a almost perfect execution. The music by Karpman was great as well. Glad she's getting more work from Marvel. And excited to hear what she does with The Marvels Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,323 Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 Ms Marvel 1x04 Seeing Red Huh. When the last episode ended with Kamala's grandmother telling them they had to come to Karachi, I wasn't expecting this episode to just start with them already on the plane to go there! The scene with Kamala and her mother talking past the random passenger was funny. It actually was pretty cool that this entire episode was set in Karachi; It made for a nice, and unexpected change of pace! Of course that meant a lot of the story and characters (Bruno, Nakia, Kamala's dad) we'd been following for 3 episodes didn't appear, but that's OK. I liked that with The Clandestines captured by Damage Control, we get introduced to a new faction here - the Red Daggers, who were pretty cool. I also liked that the first one she meets (Kareem) could be another love interest, and that she learned some cool info and go to do some training. Then the Clandestines escape from Damage Control anyway, and show up in Karachi in no time flat! Do they have teleportation powers, or did they somehow take commercial flights without being caught, and Kamala trained for a couple days before everything went to hell? Another pretty good mega fight scene to bring a climax to the episode, with both one of the Red Daggers and one of the Clandestines getting killed! And then it all ends with Kamala jumping into a flashback!? Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,323 Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 Ms. Marvel 1x05 Time and Again I was genuinely bored and disinterested in the first half of this episode. On paper, it should have been neat to see Aisha's story depicted, but something about the way it was all presented surprisingly didn't work for me. It was cute I guess to reveal that somehow time-traveling Kamala was the light that led to her great-grandfather finding her grandmother and getting them to Pakistan safely but other than that I wasn't that into all this. Once we rejoined modern day I liked the rest of the episode just fine! The gateway to the Clandestine's dimension is open, but why does it kill the Clandestines when they try to enter? How was Najma able to close it, and how did she transfer her powers (?) to Kamran before doing so? Why did closing phortal kill her? It was really cute that her mom showed up in time to see her using her powers, and came to accept her (and her family's history). It's kinda weird that so many people died, and the Clandestines story seems over already? Apart from Kamran, who finds Bruno and he helps him out, which was nice.... until Damage Control shows up again! Damn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 40-50 min a week isn’t a huge commitment. Been catching up on the final season of The X-Files (some of which has been great, haters-be-damned) in the meantime and thinking about jumping back onboard Better Call Saul after that.

Jay 37,323 Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Ms. Marvel 1x06 No Normal Well, this was a great finale to what turned out to be a great series!! Exciting open with Bruno and Kamran on the run from Damage Control, and they ever placed it before the opening Marvel Studios logo, which only added to the intensity and urgency of the situation. I loved Kamala being back home and getting the support from her whole family, though it seemed odd how quickly her final costume came together (there should have been more elements sprinkled in throughout the season; did the necklace fragment from last week even appear again?). The way all the characters came together in the high school to help get Kamran to safety was awesome; Not only a good setting-everything-up montage but then the assault was cool and fun too. And they even managed to sneak in an almost-kiss between Kamala and Kamran! I thought it was interesting that Damage Control manages to successfully capture everyone except Kamala and Kamran, and that lead to a nice showdown outside. I didn't' really understand how Kamran's powers worked, and exactly how much control of them he has, but I liked how his being green and Kamala's being blue led to it always being easy to follow what was going on. I was also surprised at the end when the Damage Control agent there got talked down to from the Succession guy, because I had thought up until this point they were equal partners. I liked the big goofy wrap-up happy ending, especially the talk Kamala has with her father, when she settles on the Ms Marvel name and jumps off happy. Great ending to a great season! The extra bonus scenes were also fun Spoiler I liked that Bruno is actually going to Cal Tech and isn't like, staying behind just for Kamala or something; And then when he tells her he looked into her genetics more and had new information I was bracing for something that could have been either really silly or really cool.... and never would have expected in a million years for him to say "mutation" as the theme from the 90's X-Men cartoon played! That was so hilarious, I laughed out loud, and then had to explain it to my wife after the episode. The next bit where Kamala in her room zapping out and Carol Danvers zapping in was cool too! I had expected the whole season that Brie Larson would show up at some point, but by the time we got to the end I had forgotten about it. I assume this is actually a brief clip of The Marvels, and now I'm bummed that is pushed back to next freaking July, a whole year from now (it was originally supposed to come out this November).

mstrox 6,647 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Interesting comic “fact” - Ms. Marvel is actually an Inhuman in the comics. At the time of her character’s creation, Marvel Comics was using the Inhumans banner to create new enhanced characters because calling them “mutants” meant that Fox would be able to use them in movies instead of Marvel Studios. Now that Disney owns Fox, that conflict is gone and they can call the character whatever they want and retain full ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,323 Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Another awesome part in episode 6 was when she first puts the costume on (I'm pretty sure that's where this was), the score plays the theme that had been playing under the end credits of all the episodes prior.
