Concur.

Same

Ha! Got him! Got him Good!

I read this just as it was playing in the video

Jumped straight to the comments after seeing that. Absolutely brilliant editing.

Even when they said “it’s locked” and then a shot of jake lockley appeared

I was gonna say the same thing too. Wandering Wanda Wandaring about Wondering.

You’re only allowed to praise Ben didn’t you know?

Yeah, it was a pretty simple closed loop. Which is good, since time-travel wasn't a major concept for the rest of the show.

Building on this, I think what makes the time travel different is that it was instigated from 1947 calling out to the future - it doesn't branch because it didn't go a different way first. Previously we've had the future invading the past, which creates a new timeline.

@@stephencleary562 good point!

A bit like Lost aswell. Whatever happened happened. My favourite kind of time travel

Literally thought exactly the same thing!! The "it was me" like Harry on the lake saving himself and Sirius!

And the scarf comes from the Red Dagger!!

Also the bracelet from her grandmother.

I love that her name was meaningful to her and not just some captain marvel fangirl

Ms. Marvel's such a wholesome hero

Please, we don’t talk about Bruno….s mask

Crazy to think this is her FIRST acting job. She was great, I hope she has a good future in acting. Her chemistry with her friends and family was adorable

I thought she was over the top, which was perfect. This show had so much more heart than most of the Marvel Disney+ shows. I was pouring happy-tears when her and her dad had that heart-to-heart in the last episode. This show was so positive and every character (other than bad guys obv) were so wholesome. This show was so much more interesting than the concept would seem on paper, which is a nice shift from the previous shows which seemed to be working backwards from extremely interesting premises.

1. Wandavision 2. Moon Knight 3. Loki 4. What if ? 5. Falcon & Winter soldier 6. Ms marvel 7. Hawkeye

Yeah the middle three (3-4-5) were not good and made worse that it was such an easy fix. Have the Clandestines turn her away from her family because THEY understand her and support her like her real family doesn't in that moment. Then you have them nicey nice her and take her to Kirachi to open their portal home. Meet the Red Daggers who undermine their link and expose the Clan as being the baddies. Much more natural progression than whatever the hell happened here. That said all the episodes in New Jersey (?), Or America or whatever are all enjoyable and fun.

I loved it so much more than I thought I would initially but kind of fell apart during the episodes in Karachi for me. Felt like they were cramming too much in and removing the underwhelming villains and the whole Veil plot point before the final episode felt a little deflating

All they did was steal Quasar's Negabands

@@budgiecat9039 Quantum bands.

@@freman007 yeah its easy to get the two mixed up the names and circumstances are similar

I'm just curious what he actual mutant powers are though. The ability to wear the bangle?

@@b2thec Its very vague and nonsensical when you think about it unless they say theres some kind of trigger that activates a mutant gene and for her, it was whatever technology in that bangle which was used to create it which my running theory is the Space Stone (Tesseract), which then would make sense because Mar'Vell was using the Space Stone energy to create a light speed ship to transport Skrull refugees to a safe haven from the Kree without having to use the Kree/Nova Corps heaxagon shaped Warp gates (because if you use those, the Kree and anyone else can track you). And years earlier wa know Hydra was using the Space Stone to creeate weapns and when Red Skull touiched it himself he got yeeted to the planet Vorimir and he would have starved and died there had it not been for the Soul Stone somehow reforming his body compiisition to that of some ghost like being permentaly jobbed to be its presentor or whatever. And as we know, Captain Marvel got her powers from Space Stone energy + Kree science. And so then this might explain why Kamala and Carol swapped places all of a sudden. Perhaps Carol was investigating Kree tech trying to find out whats the deal with that 10 Rings pulsating message, and maybe she got a hold of the other bangle and boom the signals got connected, warping her and Kamala to switch places. Moreover, we know the Space Stone is one of the 6 Infinity Stomes; the remnants of a dead Celestial, and that Tiamat is also a Celestial who was incubating inside Earth. So perhaps Mutants are a 'host' of Tiamat. They are his children in sort of a way;; his atoms are their atoms aka X-Men Children of the Atom. So the bangle, which is comprised of Infinity Stone energy, which particularly is the Space Stone, known for interdimensional and speed travel, triggered Kamala's mutant gene because she is linked like the other Mutants on Earth, to Tiamat the Celestial, by way of evolution, and perhaps Thanos destroying the Infinity Stones, also might have sent off a cosmic ripple of energy that may have also awoken more dormant mutan genes in people over time. Because we saw the Mutant Ursa Majors (the huge Russian prisoner who lost to arm wrestling Red Guardian in Black Widow movie) but he didnt have his mutant powers of transforming into a giant grizzly bear person, so maybe his mutant genes were not triggered yet since Black Widow is a prequel movie before Infinity War/Endgame. Though perhaps there are also other older Mutants that found their trigger in other ways like say Wolverine or Apocalypse, Magneto or Prof X. Perhaps they all came into contact with an Infinity Stone sometime in history; remember the Mind Stone was also in Sokovia with Wanda and Pietro and the Sanctum Sanctorium and the Anciet Ones had access to the Time Stone for years.

I really hope they lean into that, because bar some castings in Eternals, she's pretty much the only actor who I feel doesn't own the character they portray. Her first movie wasn't horrible, not even bad at all, but I just didn't care about Captain Marvel at all. Probably because she was brainwashed to be a boring soldier type, but her appearance in Endgame didn't do anything for me either.

@@spartanB0292 nailed it. Hoping The Marvels can correct that.

@@spartanB0292 Agreed. Captain Marvel is just too powerful to the point that she suffers from Superman syndrome. She has ALL the powers and is written as infallible, and she’s always Captain marvel. That’s boring, and not very marvel to me.

She’s so much better at comedy than being a “bad ass”

@@jacobmcmillan6787 which is funny, get an tiny actress with a comedy background in your movie, and have her be a humorless baddass and give the few comedy bits to Sam Jackson and Ben Mendelssohn!

Especially since Monica seems to almost resent or dislike Captain Marvel now. Will one influence the other in terms of how to view Captain Marvel? Will they get along?

I hope they don't make Spiderman Homecoming a la Ms Marvel, where Captain Marvel is Tony, Monica is Happy and Kamala is Spiderman, whose identity is a magic mystery

I know it's much more complicated than that, but the way you put it makes it sound like it'll be two hours of Monica and Kamala going on about how cool and great Carol Marbles is.

Meh

Who?

@@spartanB0292 exactly

There was a more forgettable marvel comic group I was going to say and disagree with you, but I can't remember the name.

@@R0B1NG5 Inhumans?

@@raziel7148 wait, did you mean....mutants?

She has suit guy, I see

Yeah she literally mentions that she went to the tailor in the scene before when Kamala tries to reveal her identity

Yup got it made in Pakistan. It would be dope to see a scene in a future movie where the tailor sees it on the TV/youtube and is like "OMG THAT'S MY SUIT I MADE THAT SUIT!!!!"

I think the Obi Wan series made something click in my head that most of the shows could easily be movies, but Ms Marvel seems like the first time since Loki that a series has benefitted from the format of a tv series

They could have dropped some of the middle episodes and made this a pretty good movie. Or they could have given her her costume and name at the end of epsiode 2 and make the rest an actual Ms Marvel show about her being a superhero in New Jersey

Did she mention the outfit itself or just the cloth?

@@imaginefun13 the scenes were joined together & the suit was boxed up like it came directly from the tailor. It is possible she made it herself, but it's more likely the Tailor did as they have Kamala's exact measurements and would be primed to create a suit that fits her form so well

kinda groundbreaking bc of the end credit scene lol

@@antipop1717 not really we've seen her before lmao

I did LOL at the girl who chose to put on a hijab talking about women's suffrage and equality.

@@MGsubbie because she chose to do it dum dum. Feminism is about having freedom of that choice. You can choose to be a housewife, for example, but it has to be your choice.

I feel like the BIGGEST thing hurting these shows is the episode count. But I’m beating a dead horse at this point. I noticed the parts I lost interest were when the pacing got really odd. The Pakistan stuff was so much fun but quickly felt shoved in to get more exposition. I need more time to bond with the new characters and really wanted to see more of the partition stuff. B it the finale was solid and hilariously one of the best. It’s a shame so many people are skipping it based on internet shit and weird misinterpretations of the trailers.

1st episode was def the best one stylistically. They kinda abandon the style later on.

I actually think it thematically fits. As Kamala’s situation gets more real she needs to stop fantasizing as much.

Naaahh man, because they still do the animated chalk thing in the finale. The loss of style as the show went on was just due to the different directors switching things up and then needing a generic punchy punchy MCU finale for the last episode.

@@igotin9264 That’s probably also the case but it still thematically fits. The plan where she uses the chalk wasn’t a fantasy. It’s actually how it played out.

time and budget, you could also see the effects of those in the writing as the show carried on, the episodes got worse

Yep agreed. The villains were so weak

As much as I enjoyed the backstory of her great-grandmother, it might have been better if they kept her initial villain from the comics, which was a half parakeet clone of Thomas Edison who was kidnapping teenagers to use them as batteries. The lower stakes would have been more focused and in line with the first 2 episodes and been more appropriate for the first outing of a street level hero. Plus with Disney's resources they could have used some of those Star Wars creature artists to make a practical bird man. That would have been cool to see.

I’d say the villains were the weakest part of the show but it was still a great show.

@@ferhog7705 agreed. I hope they do a season 2 and have Edison

@@ferhog7705 "a half parakeet clone of Thomas Edison who was kidnapping teenagers to use them as batteries" you... you made that up, right?

Knowing modern day Marvel they probally would doj something like that since they have no creativity what so ever. Ms Marvel is and always will be a dissaster, and trying to tie her in with the X-Men is going to be Marvels biggest abomination and dissaster ever.

I do, but it's treading into apples/oranges territory. They're very different. MoM was, admittedly, a victim of my expectations. I enjoyed what it ended up being, on the whole, even if it wasn't quite what I had built up in my head through speculation, especially post-WV. But for me, the real problem is that MoM retroactively made WandaVision lesser. Wanda's psychological terror in WV was nuanced and complicated. She did something horrible, yes, but it made you sympathetic as to WHY she did it. It was deeply emotional. It's why the show, strange as it was, was so successful. MoM picked up from there, and flushed that sympathy down the toilet. She became irredeemably evil. Turning her into a blunt instrument of motherhood gone insane. As others have noted, she COULD have worked with America to find a reality where the kids were left without a mother. (And Vision is completely forgotten in the script.) So yeah, it's made what WandaVision teed up a _little less special_. For me, at least. And oh... oh no... did they name it "Multiverse of Madness" just because it spells "MoM"? Oh god. I'm just getting that. I need a drink.

I'm pretty positive she made the hulk costumes also on pretty short notice, so it's not a stretch to believe she was also able to make her actual costume.

lazily written and tacked on at the end as an afterthought

That’s basically the X-Men Evolution route. Mutants were always living in secret and one day they’re all exposed

"certain thundering dumbasses" I wonder who you could mean??? lol

@@ThreadBomb Batman in the Multiverse of Sadness was really a letdown, I was trying to be subtle though

Agreed. I actually don't like the show, it wasn't for me, but I think the culture, visuals, and characters are charming and great. I just don't like teen highschool stories I think. Hey I'm glad I saw it though, and I would love to see these characters in more interesting plots.

Doesn't the Terrigen mist kill mutants?

Terrible reveal

I really liked the actor. What coulda been I guess

I dislike they way they do it as much as everyone else. They do this though because these are meant to be an origin story to set them up for future projects. That’s my guess at least

@@StillhetMusic You're right. Each Disney+ show is a Heroes journey

Funny because I think it is super overrated

Well, her shape shifting power is pretty different, so maybe that’s her X-Gene ability, with Noor Magic as her other. Similar to Wanda or Majik, or even Wolverine- they have an X- gene powerset, with additional sorcery- or In Wolverine’s case, Adamantium Bones that are effectively a power of their own.

You're thinking way too hard about this lmfao.

@@Thee_Deputy You’re not wrong.

This also explains why X-Men weren't in Marvel vs Capcom Infinite which pissed a lot of people off.

Absolutely nobody except Ike Peanutbutter was interested in having Inhumans anywhere near the MCU. Agents of SHIELD was Ike.

Wasn’t surprised with the lack of action. It’s more of a character centered story and it’s a lower budget show with a young cast.

Action doesn't make something good

@@moonwhooper I wouldnt even say the action, but the show lacked an interesting conflict and that came mostly as a product of a weak villain

@@moonwhooper it's a comic book show. A certain level of interesting or exciting action is expected.

OMG yes SNW Season 1 was lit!

Well done.. got a quartering AND Room reference in there.

lol nicely done

I disagree. They got impatient because after after decades they're finally within reach of the bangle again. They played nice at first to gain her trust, but they know that Kamala won't willingly help them once she finds out that doing so would destroy her own reality. They don't want to lose the bangle again if Kamala learns the truth, which is what happens. It does feel fast, because we properly meet them, they seem nice, and then we learn they're not, all in the same episode I believe. But their character motivations aren't weak, they make sense. They don't care about Earth, they want to go home, and they've waited over 70 years just to get near to the bangle again. There is a sense of urgency for them because the red daggers are gonna tell Kamala the truth, and they do. They weren't wrong. Maybe there was a safe way to open the rift and send them home, but the show never implies that. It's stated clearly that their world will overwrite the planet. They're not going home, they're bringing home to them. If there was a way of doing it safely, they had the decades to research into it, and they clearly didn't find one. And they weren't willing to test, only to find out there isn't another way and then just give up. The only thing that stops them at all is that the rift kills them.

I got that alpha centuri refrense

they couldnt have been interacting though because we saw everything that happened in kamalas story, the marvels timeline will be after this series

@Latest Obsession but its a theory out of no where, everything is possible, i could make up some random shit and it would be possible, but it doesnt make sense

@@artemislogic5252 We don't know when the post-credits scene takes place. It could be months after the series.

No chance they wouldn't show kamala's first interaction with her favorite hero. Don't need to wait a year to tell ya this is totally off base

couldn’t agree more, absolutely great review

In the comics I’m pretty sure Bruce’s parents were abusive so there’s that…

@@_cameroncarey_ yeah, I seem to remember that. They also played it that way in the Ang Lee Hulk film but wanted to leave it to "we don't know" because the MCU might go a different route.
