REVIEW: Ms. Marvel – Season 1, Episode 6 “No Normal

AlexGherzo | Jul 16, 2022 | 0

Ms. Marvel went against the grain and saved the worst for last. (Well, maybe; it’s a toss-up between this and last week’s snoozefest.) “No Normal” is a finale that feels like it had no setup outside of a minute-and-a-half scene at the end of the previous episode, with poor plotting, ridiculo...

Ms. Marvel is Now a Mutant

Jed | Hollywood Scholar | Jul 15, 2022 | 0

The Ms. Marvel series has confirmed the existence of mutants in the MCU by making Kamala Khan a mutant in a shrugged-off moment during the season’s final scene. Ms. Marvel went summarily unwatched by the G+G sphere despite Salon’s accusations to the contrary and was the lowest watch...

Remember the Honest Trailer about Revenge of the Sith (back when they were funny)? There’s a line in it that says Revenge of the Sith is “the best Star Wars prequel by default simply because something occasionally happens.” That’s “Destined,” the third episode of Ms. Marvel, in a nutshel...

REVIEW: Ms. Marvel – Season 1, Episode 2 “Crushed”

AlexGherzo | Jun 15, 2022 | 0

A slow burn isn’t always a good thing, as Ms. Marvel has demonstrated in its first two episodes. The premiere, “Generation Why,” functioned mostly as an introduction to the characters but had almost no plot. Episode 2, “Crushed,” follows suit, with more character-building – the effective...
