First episode is up. It was very serviceable.Also be reminded that Ms. Marvel premieres tomorrow! It kinda snuck up on me, but I'm excited.
It's pretty respectful, but mega-sanitized/Disney-fied version of the Muslim/Desi-American experience from what I know, but I'm no expert. Those are some of the more liberal Pakistani parents I've ever seen. Makes sense, the head writer for the show is brown. That stuff is way more believable/well written than the high school business in that show.I'm not someone who can speak to how accurate/sensitive a portrayal of an American Muslim family is, I've read mostly good things but I'll defer to people who know better.
Disney+ has gotta stop putting scenes that are just important parts of the episode during the credits. That's where you're supposed to put little teases and things that don't actually matter.There’s a mid-credits scene btw, so let the credits play out.
Very much so. As much as I wanted certain visuals, the characters are all just right. That said, with it being pretty down to Earth, relatively speaking, now I'm getting worried we won't get this character...I liked this episode a lot. It was shot with a lot of style and told a relatable and fun story. Good adaptation of the comic, obviously her powers are different and there are some changes, but it still feels like Ms. Marvel.
Well, America and Wong were thereJust finished the new Dr Strange movie. That was mildly bold of Disney to make a movie about two bad guys fighting each other with no good guys around.
Davis is, as far as I know, the only person to do the Destine family saga stories and even then he only does stories with them once in a blue moon
Just saw Multiverse of Madness myself. On a certain long-standing character's actions/characterization in this film:The first thing my wife said to me after seeing this was "you know, a couple of years ago, I would have thought Wanda was a badly done villain here. But being a mom now...I kinda get it." We got to wondering on whether there was a noticeable split on how mothers/parents and non-parents feel about the movie/character.
Which is not to say "if you think her depiction was bad/misogynistic, you're wrong, because I have This One Mom Friend!" Just an interesting perspective that I felt like sharing.
They already made three Iron Man movies.Just finished the new Dr Strange movie. That was mildly bold of Disney to make a movie about two bad guys fighting each other with no good guys around.
How did Jane get to the final battle? Zeus' thunderbolt clearly has some kind of teleportation ability, but Mjolnir sure doesn't.
