First Reactions For Marvel's MS. MARVEL - A Vibrant and Fun Love Letter To Marvel and Fandom
The first reactions to Marvel’s upcoming Disney+ series Ms. Marvel have hit the internet and fans and critics are absolutely loving it! I was also given the opportunity to watch the first two episodes of the series, and so far, it’s an absolute blast and fantastically delightful!
The series is so much fun and it’s vibrant. It’s a love letter to Marvel and fandom in general. I’ll have a full review coming later, but I’m extremely happy with how the first two episodes of the series turned out! I’m also not the only one who feels this way.
I’ve got a collection of tweets for you below to read where people are sharing how much they’re enjoying the show. I’m excited for Marvel fans to get to watch this show!
I've never loved a character like I do Kamala Khan. She's charismatic, smart, funny & adorable. Her family is so lovable. The dynamic is amazing. The animation & graphics are so fun. Into The Spiderverse vibes. Kamala Khan is going to be HUGE. I freaking love #MsMarvel so much. pic.twitter.com/qc3Nnpafft

First off, Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan might be one of the best casting choices the MCU has made (seriously). She truly embodies all of Kamala’s enthusiasm and optimism. I’m so looking forward to her interactions with other heroes and her future in the MCU! (2/6) pic.twitter.com/PAGDrtm3OA

Got the chance to watch the first 2 episodes of Ms Marvel before its release and I’m dying to watch the rest - Pakistanis, Muslims and South Asians will be SO pleasantly surprised 😭♥️ first time I’ve seen meaningful representation in a #Marvel film 🦸🏽♀️

I've seen the first episode of #MsMarvel and spoiler free - I love this show. It is everything I could have wanted. I say this a lot about our girl Kamala Khan, but I've literally never felt so seen. But like me... specifically. Iman Vellani is a DELIGHT. Put her in everything.

#MsMarvel is a vibrant and exciting story that takes a plunge into both the MCU and Pakistani culture. Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan is absolutely fantastic, as shes likely to become an MCU favorite. Not to mention her new powers are a phenomenal addition. pic.twitter.com/7zwpviMOgc

#MsMarvel is so much fun! A lot of it is slice-of-life based (nice to get the perspective of how regular people in the MCU view the superheroics going on around them). The question of how so many people know what happened in the Endgame final battle is also answered. 😆

I was given the opportunity to watch the first two episodes of #MsMarvel and… WOW! The world we’re thrown into is extremely exhilarating and SO COLORFUL. I can’t stress enough how fantastic Iman Vellani is as Kamala Khan and might I say…. I think I like her new powers more. pic.twitter.com/YKEMwhvOcl

The first couple episodes of #MsMarvel are a BLAST. I particularly love how pretty much everyone is instantly endearing. I almost immediately loved the characters and their family dynamics. Iman Vellani is incredibly charming. pic.twitter.com/5nKkVPueZy

First 2 episodes of #MsMarvel leave no doubt about the type of show this is. It's a show for those of us who grew up watching the #MCU and fantasized about having powers of our own. It's a coming of age story that works as a love letter to the genre.#MarvelStudios #DisneyPlus pic.twitter.com/d4HUmETJiw

#MsMarvel is really, really wonderful. Iman Vellani is a star and the stylized aesthetic, which feels almost like a live-action "Spider-Verse," is dazzling but never distracting. All the emotional stuff is front and center, real and honest. Get excited. pic.twitter.com/PixD3JJQHG

#MsMarvel is EVERYTHING I wanted. Iman is PERFECT as Kamala. After two episodes, I can't wait to see what happens next.

For those worried about the power changes, it works & still captures the heart of who she is as a person & a hero. Also, can we have a REAL Avengers Con? pic.twitter.com/GatXf7wHCZ
Honestly, #MsMarvel is great in its first two eps. Iman Vellani gives a wonderful performance and has loads of charisma and comedic ability, and the rest of the cast gels. I look forward to seeing both where it goes, and her in the rest of the MCU. @msmarvel

#MsMarvel: The fun-loving/playful vibe is extremely refreshing & LOVE how they're working Kamala's art into the look of the show. Some VFX & set design seams show here & there but the show's charm & Iman Vellani's charisma were more than enough to win me over these first 2 eps. pic.twitter.com/0hTcmntDhh

Iman Vellani is perfectly cast as #MsMarvel. she wholly lights up the screen.

ep 1: mostly setup but still fun & i'm loving Kamala's dynamic with her parents, esp her mother. it's inherently South Asian without making it all about her ethnicity. excited to see what comes next!
can't overstate how much fun Kamala Khan is having in #MsMarvel by geeking out over Captain Marvel & there's such a good homage to the other Avengers as well. plus the animation is cool (inspired a bit by Spider-Verse).

Ms. Marvel is a coming-of-age story for younger fans but something older ones will enjoy. Fun & unique style incorporates drawings into the storytelling. Different but VERY cool powers! Packed with action & representation! Get ready to fall in love with Iman Vellani! #MsMarvel pic.twitter.com/0qiKDIl3nG

#MsMarvel is vibrant, colorful, and optimistic. If you're looking for grand world-impacting stakes, nothing in the first two episodes suggests that's what this show is about. But Ms. Marvel's focus on the more mundane growing pains of high school/family life are refreshing.

First, Iman Vellani is fantastic as #KamalaKhan. 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. pic.twitter.com/B37X495oJG
I am happy to report that the first two episodes of #MsMarvel are absolutely delightful. Iman Vellani is a revelation in the role, just irrepressably bubbly and charismatic. But it's not just froth - it's also a beautiful ode to family, the Pakistani culture, and Muslim faith. pic.twitter.com/lda9863bLH

Kamala Khan is a Muslim American teenager growing up in Jersey City. “An avid gamer and a voracious fan-fiction scribe, Kamala is a Super Hero mega fan with an oversized imagination—particularly when it comes to Captain Marvel. Yet Kamala feels like she doesn’t fit in at school and sometimes even at home—that is, until she gets super powers like the heroes she’s always looked up to. Life gets better with super powers, right?”
The rest of the cast includes Aramis Knight, Saagar Shaikh, Rish Shah, Zenobia Shroff, Mohan Kapur, Matt Lintz, Yasmeen Fletcher, Laith Nakli, Azhar Usman, Travina Springer, and Nimra Bucha.
The Ms. Marvel series is being developed by British writer Bisha K. Ali (Four Weddings and a Funeral), who is writing the series and also serves as showrunner.
Episodes are directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, Meera Menon and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso and Bisha K. Ali are the executive producers.
Ms. Marvel is set to premiere exclusively on Disney+ on June 8, 2022!
