Maybe me went in with low expectations because of so much negative hype about this movie, but me not have enjoyed Marvel movie this much since last Spider-Man. It like they suddenly remembered these things can be goofy fun (and ultimately need to be more about engaging characters bouncing off of each other than world-ending stakes).
Also, me have felt through entire post-pandemic/post-Endgame phase that young characters are MCU's best asset right now, to point where me just waiting for this whole multiverse thing to be over so me can get to Kamala/Kate/Shuri/Whatever-Ironheart's-Name-Was/Peter-if-Sony-Allows-It iteration of Avengers, so me happy this movie nudges us closer to that too by establishing Kamala's superhero bona fides.
I was very ambivalent about going to the theater to watch this one, as I absolutely loved Ms Marvel but was a bit worried after seeing the trailer for The Marvels. I'll see if I go to an actual cinema or if I'll wait to stream it, though...
I think it's worth a look!! Fun + funny at its best. And if you were a Ms. Marvel fan, so much of the vibe of that show was carried over here. More than I expected.
It funny how much this was sequel to Ms. Marvel first, Captain Marvel second, and Wandavision not at all. (Which me think was absolutely correct choice on DaCosta's part)
As soon as it cut to Kamala for the first time and immediately started using the Ms. Marvel visual flourishes I knew we were in good hands. Weird that the marketing leaned so heavily into the entanglement/crossover aspect at first and then pivoted to “hey remember Captain Marvel? Well she’s back!” while totally avoiding the fact that the film is largely a goofy comedy, more in line tonally with The Avengers or Guardians of the Galaxy than how it was being positioned.
