Check out some of the early reactions below:
“Ms. Marvel is charming, hilarious and just a ton of fun. Iman Vellani is perfect as Kamala Khan and the rest of the cast delivers on every level. This show is Marvel meets Mean Girls.”
– Laughing Place
“The Ms. Marvel pilot episode caught me by surprise in the best ways. It’s as close as we’ve come in the MCU to comic book pages coming to life. It’s inventive, bright & a ton of fun. My strong feeling is that teens are going to fall in love with this show. I know my kids will.”
– Charles Murphy, Murphy’s Multiverse
“Iman Vellani is marvelous as young Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel. The first 2 episodes are a fun, witty & colorful introduction to her imaginative teenage coming-of-age story. Style & tone reminded me of Mitchells Vs. The Machines. So far, so good. Looking forward to the rest of it.”
– Fico Cangiano, CineXpress
“I got to see the first 2 episodes of Ms. Marvel. Had meh expectations, but so far it is wonderful. It’s the first thing to actually get me excited about The Marvels. Iman Vellani is perfect as Kamala Khan, and I’m feeling optimistic about the changes to her origin/powers now.”
– Mary Maerz, Murphy’s Multiverse
“I’ve seen the first two episodes of Ms. Marvel! The series feels like a lighthearted departure from previous series; filled with clever editing, smart dialogue, and teenage woes. It doesn’t quite know what it is yet, but hopefully it’ll get there soon. Iman Vellani is fantastic.”
– Maggie Lovitt, Collider
“The first two episodes of Ms. Marvel are so wonderful! This feels like the best-constructed MCU TV show yet, while also perfectly capturing Kamala’s world in the comics. The aesthetics and MCU connections rule, and the cast is unbelievably charming. I can’t wait to see more.”
– Jenna Anderson, Comicbook.com
“Ms. Marvel is a Delightful Surprise. The first 2 episodes establish a stylistic coming of age story visually/story wise that was AWESOME.. Kinda reminded me of Dope in some ways. Iman Vellani Ms Marvel is one of your next favorite Marvel Heroes! Very happy to see the rest”
– Zach Pope, Film Critic
“Saw the first two episodes of Ms. Marvel this week and I thought it was great – I didn’t massively care for the in-jokey Avengers fandom stuff but once it gets past that it’s very charming. Looking forward to seeing more (ep 2 especially good).”
– Huw Fullerton, Radio Times
“Ms. Marvel: Enjoying the high school sitcom style. Head writer Bisha K. Ali has crafted a self-assured identity w/ relatable family dynamics, setting up a clear arc for Kamala to discover her true self. Her powers look GREAT & the animation FX flourishes accentuate the story.”
– Brandon Katz, The Wrap
“So far, the series seems to be setting up the big conflict as that of Kamala with the norms of her community. But it’s too close to the “Muslim girl just wants to be free of rules” for my liking. I would like to see more nuance there as the series progresses… Overall, I like it!! I’m also so so excited, for myself and kids like my sisters, to see Ms. Marvel on screen. She inspired me to write because I saw myself in her, and to tell stories that others could see themselves in too. Now I get to write about her!!”
– Maryam Ahmad, The Wellesley Times
“Iman Vellani is fantastic as Kamala Khan. She brings all the vivacity, passion, and awkwardness for which we all love Kamala. She does her best and constantly perseveres. Iman will have an outstanding future in the MCU and beyond… Ms. Marvel’s portrayal of Islam is honestly a mixed bag. There are nice moments of resonance, but also indications of Kamala’s Muslim community being too conservative and “holding her back.” Instead of dealing with external societal issues, it’s all internal, at least for now.”
– Swara Salih, The Nerds of Color
“Ms. Marvel is an epic, game-changing series for Muslim representation in the MCU. By the time the second episode ended I was already begging for more. Iman Vellani is a standout as Kamala and I cannot wait to see her in the rest of the series. AND THE MUSIC IS SO GOOD.”
– Tariq Raouf, Writer
“Had a chance to watch Ms. Marvel Ep 1-2 for FandomWire! While it seems targeted at a younger audience, it’s charming & enjoyable so far. Characters are relatable. There isn’t much action yet, but its lead’s charisma keeps things flowing. Interested to see what happens next!”
– Reilly Johnson, Fandom Wire
From the early reactions, seems like Marvel and Disney have another winner in their hands for the streaming service Disney+ and so do the fans of the MCU, especially the one’s who crave for new female superheroes.
