The #MsMarvel pilot episode caught me by surprise in the best ways. It’s as close as we’ve come in the MCU to comic book pages coming to life. It’s inventive, bright & a ton of fun. My strong feeling is that teens are going to fall in love with this show. I know my kids will. pic.twitter.com/axrmgPuzzt

#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. 😆

Watched the first 2 episodes of Ms. Marvel, and they are delightful. Iman Vellani is 5 1/2 feet of charm & charisma, and Kamala is compellingly rendered as an exciting and flawed hero. The style is bursting with creativity, delivering a look unlike anything in the MCU. #MsMarvel pic.twitter.com/ibIZcXetCs

This is because of the editing style and use of comic-like animations. It’s grabbing a lot of attention, it seems Vellani comparing Ms. Marvel to Scott Pilgrim vs. the World was apt. Based on the reactions, Marvel has created another hit, following upon the success of its latest Disney Plus series Moon Knight starring Oscar Isaac. Earlier this month, Marvel’s Kevin Feige praised Iman Vellani and compared the Kamala Khan actress to Spider-Man star Tom Holland, revealing that she is also a huge fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Vellani said about the tone of the Marvel series:
“It is John Hughes-Esque mixed with Lady Bird and Scott Pilgrim.”
“It’s a lot more lighthearted than the other shows. We showcase that being a teenager is awkward, corny, and weird. We are self-aware of how cheesy the show gets sometimes, but when you are growing up, everything is so heightened your emotions, crushes, friendships, it all feels so new. Minor inconveniences also feel like the end of the world. We hold onto that feeling of when you are a kid just wanting to grow up.”
Ms. Marvel hits Disney Plus on June 8th, stay tuned for all the latest news.
