Ms. Marvel: Generation Why (2022)
Season 1, Episode 1
5/10
Heartfelt but ultimately lacking
8 June 2022
Ms Marvel is finally here. This episode is carried by plenty of heart and humour, but it has some weaknesses that hold it back from greatness.

Firstly, Ms Marvel herself is carrying this show. Iman Vellani is so confident and loveable in the role of Kamala and radiates joy whenever she's in a scene, she definetly is passionate about Kamala and it shows. I also liked the nice representstion in the show and how natural it was.

The weaknesses? The dialogue and script are mostly lacking. This is only the first episode, but right now its a clunky time. Also the school drama stuff is really uninteresting to me, it feels so dull and low stakes. The family drama is much more interesting in comparison, and that still isn't that good.

Ms Marvel has a lot of potential. Hopefully now that the first episode is done, the other episodes can tighten up the focus and give us more great Kamala scenes.
