Off to a good start. I found it unique but still very clearly MCU (her fandom ensures that). Her mom casually mentioning the family history will come up again I'm sure. Seems clear that Kamala's grandmother was a "dreamer" as well.

So anyone else watching this one? Episode 2 was good with a few world-building elements as well. I'm loving the insight into the culture as well - feels authentic and I assume based on the writers/directors that it is.

I like the “feel” of this one. It’s also a nice change of pace that it doesn’t feel quite as dark (both literally and figuratively!) as some of the more recent series.

One of the things I like most about the MCU is that most of the films/shows have their own vibe to a degree. Some blend together more than others, but this one actually feels closest (to me anyway) to Into the Spider-Verse. We could use more of that for sure.

A bit of an interesting twist this week. Or at least it seems that way. Gotta say that I'm looking forward to seeing Kamala really let loose with her powers (but acknowledge that it's too soon for her to really do that plausibly).

I also got a kick out of the Dr. Erik Selvig name drop! yes the world-building here seems very connected to Moon Knight, Eternals and even Thor4. If they're going the direction I think they are that could be awesome. Though I'm a Kevin Hearne fan so that could be why I like this (possible) direction so much.

Still very impressed with this show. A few open questions that I'm looking forward to seeing resolved of course. But loving the insight into Pakistani culture and I think they've hit the mark on balancing teenage angst without overdoing it. Can't wait to see her power up fully!

Quite a touching episode this week. And I am glad they avoided the obvious but somewhat tired trope with the time travel bit.
Hopefully episode 6 has all the stuff we've been waiting for.

I loved everything from the show so far its a really fun watch! D Imani seems to have even more fun playing Kamala! I can't wait to see the final especially that it falls when Thor 4 releases here! It was supposed to be out last week but like many international locations it was delayed! It's actually hilarious I can't remember the last time the US had it before us

Great series. Loved the finale and loved the "controversial" reveal. I guess I understand the mixed reaction but it's not like it's confirmed 100% really, just one characters theory.
Anyway, looking forward to the next project!

Anyway, looking forward to the next project! I will be watching this weekend! I’ve already heard about the reveal and it doesn’t bother me, though I can see why others might not have cared for it. I’m looking forward to The Marvels!

I’m looking forward to The Marvels! when you get to the last few scenes of episode 6, be sure your volume is up and ambient noise is down. there's an audio element you won't want to miss oh and episode 6 is the only one that has anything resembling a post-credit (more of a mid-credit) scene.

I really enjoyed this! And that little audio element was the icing on the cake!

Binged it this past Saturday. You can take all of haxemon's posts and put 'em in quotes from me. It's just about exactly how I felt about the show and how I'd describe it. It was fun and educational. I usually throw in a few criticisms with my review, but I'm not going there this time. I have some, but they're not necessarily about THIS show. They're more MCU related (or maybe Hollywood in general) and I don't want to cast aspersions at the expense of this show. Will watch again!
