Now she just needs to stop arguing with Kevin Feige about the MCU's numerical designation. That's a slippery slope that can lead to being Terrence Howarded or Edward Nortoned.
I appreciate you calling out how childish the "M-she-U" comments are. It's super annoying. I enjoyed this first episode. I really like the style of this show.
Can I just say how amazing the parents are doing with their characters? I'm a pakistani immigrant and my mom isn't so strict, but I could relate to every silly thing they were doing. Still blows mine that they thought the con was a party
Try to explain a convention to someone unfamiliar with the concept. It can be hard to do if you can't find the right words. If you don't share the same frame of reference it can be really difficult to get an idea across.
I’m so glad you spoke out in the beginning of the video about fans and basically having big exceptions in general. You mentioned everything I ever thought of recently
yeah, Eternals is a stretch. Kree is way more likely since that's the background for Captain Marvel, and this show is establishing a connection between Kamala and Carol (in their backstories, not the fangirling LOL).
When I was young, I wasn’t as bad as Kamala but I could still relate to her enthusiasm. Even middle aged white dudes like me can find common feelings about things. It doesn’t have to be as basic as the color of your skin or your gender.
I totally agree with your sentiments with the communities against MCU right now, they are very impatient. I somehow doubt that they were even there when Ironman started, it was around "2008", Marvel had to build characters from then on up until the recent big movies, around 10 years in the making, give a little credit (not to mention even the Marvel Movies before that, Xmens, Blade, etc.). Let's try to understand that the next phase has just begun, so let's view this recent collection of movies and series as more of like an introduction to the next big event. I honestly believe they deserve the respect and patience from us viewers. Please stop the toxic hate because sometimes it burns out people doing their passion, and we don't want that for Marvel as they have been creatively inspiring.
Yeah, I think Marvel Studios knocked it out of the park with this casting, Iman Vellani was great! And the visual style/tone of this episode was awesome. I especially love the way Kamala's imagination embellished the way her everyday world was shown onscreen. And the parents... perfection. I understand longtime comic book fans objecting to the way Kamala's origin & powers were changed, but I understand why Marvel Studios went in that direction and people forget the MCU is an alternate universe anyway- they're not showing the 616 comic book universe onscreen. Marvel Studios has creative license to change character backstories, power levels, personal relationships, even their basic powers. And they've been doing it since Phase 1. The tone is lighter and more comedic than earlier Disney+ series, but that's ok- it's targeted towards a younger audience. I think this show was just unfairly criticized by people who already had gripes with the MCU.
My Dad goes to comic-con with me all the time. He’s not into those sort of things but he knows it makes me happy and that I enjoy these events more when I have company
The fact that the Inhumans bombed, using the terrigen mist couldnt work, so instead, they gave her cosmic powers instead, and tying into the Ten Rings also
Man, that scene with Kamala's parents hit close to home. Growing up with a southern black mama, she kept a tight leash on us to keep us safe. It felt so smothering at the time, I get it now that I'm older, but for some things it was like ????? But this show is awesome I don't get some of this criticism of it being childish cause this is highly relatable
Peter Parker was around her age when he became Spiderman. Don't know what the deference is. I do wish her powers where the same as the comic but that-being-said she's a cool character and the first episode was real good.
Feige and Marvel Studios apparently decided to change Kamala's powers for 3 main reasons. First, Kamala's comic book powers of "stretchiness" or body morphing/elongation are tough to pull off on a TV show budget without looking cheesy. Second, stretching is the signature ability of one of Marvel's most important characters who hasn't made his mainstream universe debut yet- Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four. Marvel Studios didn't want audiences viewing him as "the guy with powers like Kamala" when the Fantastic Four join the MCU party. Third, they wanted more of a link between Captain Marvel and Ms Marvel in the MCU, aside from Carol Danvers being Kamala's favorite hero. The bangle/bracelet provided a way to accomplish that.
I love the councilor's line, "I want you go home; not right now but after school." Guess some kids have been taking it as an invitation to play hookie.
Personally I’m still on the fence, not my usual type of thing to watch but I objectively appreciate what they’ve been doing with the show so far! Gonna keep going in with an open mind, interested to see where they go with this!
loving this so far. animation sequences worked so much better here than in the get down. to be said, stretch powers never translate well to screen, we have so many fantastic four movies to prove that. energy projection is a good compromise that doesn't change her powerset and works better in a live action setting.
U got a segment of MCU fans that are stuck in phase 3. U hit it on the head....some folks want what they want and if it's anything different it's considered " WOKE"
My favorite aspect of Ms Marvel, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Hawkeye is that they offer a kind of ground level perspective of what is line to be a superhero who isn't government funded or a genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist
I suspect the power change is down to it being hard (and therefore expensive) to make her comic powers look convincing on the screen, as well as being too similar to Reed Richards. Changing them from inhuman to cosmic powers also makes her fit better with Carol Danvers and Monica Rambeau for the Marvels movie, plus they haven’t done the storyline in the MCU that leads to the Terrigen mists that activate her being released. Seems like she has more of a Green Lantern type power set going on, which would arguably make her true superpower her imagination. She still did the signature giant hand, and the part where her mom asked her what she was doing and Kamala said she was stretching felt like a nod to her comic powers to me.
I am 56 years old and still I identified with Kamala so much. To this day my mother criticizes almost everything I do. I think it's because she was never able to deal with me not living up to what she thought I could/should have been. It's the only thing that keeps our relationship crappy.
I’m impressed by the show. It was a bit cringy at first I’m not gonna lie, but it grew on me quickly. The editing is siiick and the characterization of Kamala is pretty good so far. I’m excited for the next episode, and I didn’t think I would be.
I really wanted to not like this show. I hated the trailers and I thought that this would be horrible. But then the editing and characters proved me so wrong. This premiere was awesome.
Marvel has a group of fans who apparently doesn’t understand that even if a character is not relatable or doesn’t represent YOU in particular, you can STILL enjoy the character or the story. Most marvel superheroes are white males. I am not one. I still love a lot of the characters. It all comes down to these people being close-minded bigots. Edit: ALSO, I love representation! Even if a character doesn’t represent ME in particular, I’m so HAPPY for the people that character does represent! What kind of person would I be to put down others for being happy for seeing proper representation in the media? I’d probably be the kind of person who grew up so privileged that I don’t understand the significance in such things like discrimination.
the MCU.. the Multi-Cultured Universe😂 they’ve spent more than the last decade making shows and movies I can relate to, so Im glad that they’re finally broadening the audience. It is a bit weird that they went for Kamala Kahn specifically when there are many other characters who are more storied, and who would appeal to the same demographic, but I mean that’s up to them not me😂
@@gasparnuno7737 lol I mean if we’re talking teenage female characters there’s tons, Jubilee, X-23, Quake (as a teen like she should be), Dagger, Tigra from wayy back, Dazzler, the list goes on. gender swapping and the multiverse are a thing too lol. There aren’t a lot of characters who share the same race as Kamala, but that never stopped me from connecting with Miles Morales so.
@@saucygoat8287 yeah, so maybe you should do the same. Let the Muslim people identify with the character and if enjoyed it good. None of those characters would grant a solo tv show lol maybe is something else that is bothering you
@@gasparnuno7737 you’re assuming something based on a comment about there being characters who have had more time to develop lmao. you can’t know anything about majority of the characters I listed if you think they couldn’t have their own show lol. The only person who even mentioned she’s Muslim was you. By “demographic”, I meant age and gender, as well as touching on subjects I can relate to involving the characters I like in my “demographic”. Not what colour she is.
13:47 i thik it's not that she can't go out at night, at all. It's the reason why she's going. Here she was going to meet her friend (everyone from her family knows about him) they literally let him stay at their house so in this instance, thay trust her and they also trust him. Whereas her mother obviously have some issues with this whole superhero stuff, plus they are still from different generation and older than her and knows how horrible the world or some people living in it, can be. Now my theory is that her grandmother was actually sort of a super hero and neglected her daughter (kamala's mother) when she was young, so that's why she's being so harsh on Kamala and trying her best to not let Kamala drift towards all this "fantasy world". Obviously they are also implying that both Kamala and her brother are being treated differently by their parents, I'm not sure whether they are doing this because of the general stereotype or because of the reason that i gave above. We will just have to wait and see.
i barely know anything about pakistan and the new background for a character is refreshing. i like learning new stuff sometimes. maybe this show can do that for me.
@@aprile5209 They absolutely tried to compromise. They didn't want her to go so if they didn't compromise the answer would have been simply "No" and that would have been the end of it. They did it in a way that they could also participate in her interests as a family. The problem is they made assumptions and overly committed to them without talking with her first to understand what about it was important to her other than simply going. And she reacted poorly though she is a teenager and that is far more realistic than most tv/movie teen reactions that are more mature than most adults are.
I get both perspectives of kamala and her folks with the convention thing, but kamala should've at least explain her side calmly yet at least appreciate their attempts to get close to her. Hope this disconnect will reflect differently when the season ends and it'll differ. Also, if kamala at least tried that hulk thing and went to the con with her dad, at least he might've been a little open. If one is willing to be open, many doors will open later
I've got a "new" movie suggestion: Anti-war Cannes Film Festival Movie "Johnny Got His Gun" 1971 (It's free on TH-cam). Another fun fact about it is that the band METALLICA bought the rights to the film out-right so that they could use footage from it to create one of the most popular Metal songs ever "One", a song sang through the perspective of a war veteran, which gives a big rundown of the movie and its story. Also also, the movie was written and directed by the author of the novel that it is based on. All-in-all, It's a good thought-provoking movie and I would love to see what you think.
I loved the Ms Marvel comic when I first read it. Not sure why the first episode didn't work for me. I do want to rewatch it. I was a bit distracted when I first watched so that probably didn't help
Kamala Khan isn't from India she's a Muslim Pakistani-American. they also made sure to actually cast a pakistani actress for the lead role: Iman is Pakistani-Canadian. sadly for the rest of her fam they slacked off and just choose actors of indian descent to play pakistani people again
From your intro, it just sounds like you are stuck in the wrong sides of the Internet. It just doesn't seem like these are majority opinions from where I'm sitting, outside the ragebait TH-cam world.
It's nice to hear a young brother not caught up in White supremacy, just think about Captain America, but I hear brothers spitting out the White man's conservative hate for change and don't recognize those old days wasn't good for Blacks just one or two superheroes. They're Pakistani not Indian.
Love your reactions but I gotta say Disney is ruining a lot! They have destroyed Star Wars and the mcu has become more pg that’s why dead pool 3 add had to point out saying it won’t be disnyfied. And I like kid movies but Disney is just different more sjw and woke that’s why people hate on it, but either way some are good some aren’t.
How did they ruin Star Wars? I see buch of bug fans loving them so much? Especially Mendalorian (me a casual got hooked to it, regardless of Grogu's experience). And let's be real MCU was always PG (blood and gore side), I would argue they became more mature with the heavy topics they cover.
Personally I don't really care what they do with the MCU when it comes to as some say the "M-She-U". I respect and have much admiration for females and strong female characters (if they are believable, like Brienne of Tarth from GOT for ex.) but with all the numerous examples as of late, you can't say that it's not an issue at all and those people are just simply being assholes. When I heard the title She Hulk: Attorney at Law I honestly couldn't stop laughing and the new Thor with Jane as a female Thor seems ridiculous imo. Those are the only two that kind of leaves me scratching my head in confusion. Other than that I really don't have a problem.
She-Hulk has existed as a character since 1980, Jane Foster was first Thor in 2014. Also, in the comics at one point a frog was Thor. Jane being Thor is hardly less plausible. These two have been around for quite some time now.
@@wackyvorlon How does them being around for a while make it any less ridiculous? At least you didn't bite my head off on the subject and for that I thank you.
@@robertmolton6761 it’s given time for ideas to be fleshed out and developed. As well, there are many absurd ideas in the source material that we now accept. Peter Parker gains his powers from being bitten by a radioactive spider, that honestly seems no less absurd to me than anything else. In the MCU, suspension of disbelief carries a lot of weight. It is not so much plausibility that matters, but rather how the story is actually told. There’s a world full of absurd premises in storytelling, but the telling of the story determines whether we love it. I think given the many grand films that the MCU has brought us it is worth reserving judgement until it’s actually released. You might still hate them and find them absurd, which is your right. This is intrinsically subjective. That’s the benefit of a wide variety of characters, hopefully everyone gets something that they connect with. I personally think She-Hulk has the potential to be a lot of fun, I don’t really know how Jane as Thor will play out. I guess it’s neither here nor there for me. I would encourage giving them both a shot, though, and Ms Marvel. Even if only for a few minutes. There’s always a chance you might find something you truly enjoy. These things can surprise you. Unfortunately people can become very heated about characters that are very close to their hearts. I think the ability to talk about them calmly and in good faith is essential, especially if you’re trying to share something that you love. Not everybody will like it, but some will. And even some who at first thought they would hate it.
@@wackyvorlon Thanks for the thoughtful effort to present your point of view. Respect. 👍Also I did watch Ms. Marvel and it wasn't bad imo. I will at least check out the other forementioned programs. When Wandavision first was advertised I thought that was going to be stupid, but it was actually pretty cool and unique. So who knows.
I have to disagree with your "they just want to see the next event movie". My thoughts are Disney/Marvel are actually rushing towards the next event by over-introducing characters because of the combination of movies and TV shows. I'd be much happier with another long series of solo/team movies building towards a great threat (which I guess has to be huge given the Infinity Saga). The problem for me is that Disney/Marvel want to squeeze as much money as possible out of everything so they're introduced fringe, and not very interesting characters, to try and satisfy EVERY demographic which means rushing stories, rushing plotlines, giving thin character development, etc. You've only got to look at Dr Strange 2 and realise it's essentially a Scarlet Witch movie with as much shoe-horned in characters/threads as they can muster. I'd have much preferred a movie about Dr Strange post-Endgame and a separate movie (or series) of Wanda becoming Scarlet Witch and leading to a House of M storyline. Then they could ultimately bring movie threads together for a team/threat ala Avengers. Trying to get every character out there as quickly as possible, in rushed under developed TV shows, just isn't working for me. But each to their own obviously.
What is wrong with Marvel trying to satisfy every demographic? Why do you feel they should cater to only the demographics you care about or approve of ? Marvel should only produce stuff that you like? Who died and made you a gatekeeper for Marvel content? Like wtf?
@@enadegheeghaghe6369 I get your point, I'm not saying they should only produce what matters to me. What I'm saying is that by trying to cater for every demographic they're essentially causing a problem, because they're trying to satisfy everyone. What I'm trying to say is that ultimately story/character should come first, not targeting demographics and then building your narration around that. Cater for everyone, definitely, but at the expense of chopping/changes this to target demographics as your first aim, then no. For example, they have a set of well established characters which they're now pushing to the back in favour of target a demographic. What I believe they should have done is develop a new set of characters/stories on screen for whomever they wanted to target (from a huge rich back catalogue) separately, without devaluing or pushing existing characters into the background (which is how they've gone about it). Then they'd have two sets of stories and characters for multiple demos to enjoy, which could continue separately and come together on/off. What they've actually done is built a base set of characters then decided to trounce them on screen at the same time as bringing new characters, that's where the problem lies and why you're going to get annoyed fans and a split fan base.
@@damianlord7954 so you wanted to get Iron Man and Captain America in the movies forever? Well the actors have had their fill and want to move on to other things. LOL. Movies are not like comic books. They can't stay the same age forever like they do in comic books. More than 95% of MCU fans and ticket buyers are not comic book readers and guess what? They are still fans of the MCU. You subset of angry comic book nerds don't own the MCU. Stop trying to be gatekeepers
@@enadegheeghaghe6369 fair enough, you've failed to understand my opinion as to why I think Disney/Marvel have found themselves at loggerheads with their fans, but hey ho. But don't worry I'm not angry, not a comic book reader/nerd, and I'm still watching.
@@damianlord7954 which "fans” are you talking about though? You talk as if those subset of fans who are upset with Marvel are the only fans. What about all the other millions of people who love the new shows and new characters and all the diversity they bring? Aren't they fans as well? Why is catering to your subset more important than catering to the other arguebly larger groups of fans? That sense of entitlement Is what pisses me off. Even if you don't like all the new stuff that they are doing, at least acknowledge that other people love this new material.
first rule of not sounding woke .....stop acknowledging people that have issues with new shows . the moment you did you sound like all the others that make this about the real fans of comics and not about the content in the movie . let them tell a good story and thats it and if the big bad guy is a man this will just be another woke shit show depending on how they do it . in real life the biggest enemy of a girl is another girl or another woman anything more the chances of it getting woke is wow
Yep! Everything must be made to cater to my exact tastes and interests. Things should always be exploding and the action should never stop. Who cares about creativity or uniqueness? Let’s see some cameos and punching. (Sarcasm if it wasn't clear)
@@mitsukitai2713 lecturing the audience about someone's sexuality and race isn't creative or unique. And if you didn't know, this movie is a marvel movie. In other words, it's purely about explosions and nonstop action. It should have been anyway.
@@kurtkatzemcqueennovaaetate6873 then my man you clearly miss point of comics and storytelling if you want only punches (not that it's bad thing but you rarely have only one thing in movies)
@@Andjelka99 My point is that action brings in the money. A good storyline draws a person in. I should have been more clear. But this series doesn't have a good storyline at all. It sucks, it was made as a political statement. She is Muslim, a woman, and she's not white. That's the only reason they made this.
@@kurtkatzemcqueennovaaetate6873 Uh, how is a character just being female and Muslim "lecturing"? It's not a "political statement" that someone is LGBTQA+ or non white in fictional media. These people simply **exist.** It really isn't "shoving it your face" to show that. I really hate to break it to you, but not everyone in the world is straight, white, and Xtian. Many people are tired of the vocal minority who thinks that that is the "default" The character of Kamala Kahn has ALWAYS been Muslim and female. It's integral to her entire story. If it bothers you so much, especially since you can't come up with any convincing criticisms of her that aren't racist/sexist/Islamophobic..stop watching it. Simple as that.
Hard to believe this is Iman Vellani's debut role. Based on the first episode, she really hit the ground running.
Now she just needs to stop arguing with Kevin Feige about the MCU's numerical designation. That's a slippery slope that can lead to being Terrence Howarded or Edward Nortoned.

@@gasparnuno7737 you’re assuming something based on a comment about there being characters who have had more time to develop lmao. you can’t know anything about majority of the characters I listed if you think they couldn’t have their own show lol. The only person who even mentioned she’s Muslim was you. By “demographic”, I meant age and gender, as well as touching on subjects I can relate to involving the characters I like in my “demographic”. Not what colour she is.
@@saucygoat8287 yeah I'm not going to read all that, good luck being mad about a tv show snowflake. Wait yo the jubilee tv show LMAO
Yo that’s a cool shirt, mell
Captain Marvel is my girl ✴️✴️✴️✴️ and I feel you like her too! Following! The Marvels is coming!
13:47 i thik it's not that she can't go out at night, at all. It's the reason why she's going. Here she was going to meet her friend (everyone from her family knows about him) they literally let him stay at their house so in this instance, thay trust her and they also trust him. Whereas her mother obviously have some issues with this whole superhero stuff, plus they are still from different generation and older than her and knows how horrible the world or some people living in it, can be. Now my theory is that her grandmother was actually sort of a super hero and neglected her daughter (kamala's mother) when she was young, so that's why she's being so harsh on Kamala and trying her best to not let Kamala drift towards all this "fantasy world". Obviously they are also implying that both Kamala and her brother are being treated differently by their parents, I'm not sure whether they are doing this because of the general stereotype or because of the reason that i gave above. We will just have to wait and see.
One smart mellow he felt smart. Two smart mellows they both felt smart. Three smart mellows....
Word I love to see you defend the expanding representation :)) We got a Muslim superhero on screen y’all 💚
Wait til you see what her cat does. LOL. WOW
i barely know anything about pakistan and the new background for a character is refreshing. i like learning new stuff sometimes. maybe this show can do that for me.
yo love your take at the beginning! howdy from texas yall! (when is texas gonna get a super hero?/ do we have one ?)
Her parents did try to compromise (poorly, I'll admit) and she basically spat in their faces.
@@aprile5209 They absolutely tried to compromise. They didn't want her to go so if they didn't compromise the answer would have been simply "No" and that would have been the end of it. They did it in a way that they could also participate in her interests as a family. The problem is they made assumptions and overly committed to them without talking with her first to understand what about it was important to her other than simply going. And she reacted poorly though she is a teenager and that is far more realistic than most tv/movie teen reactions that are more mature than most adults are.
I like how she only has 5 views on a video, but Bruno is in the comments hyping it up acting like he doesn't know her.
22:46 Hey that's the Department of Damage Control guy from NWH
I get both perspectives of kamala and her folks with the convention thing, but kamala should've at least explain her side calmly yet at least appreciate their attempts to get close to her. Hope this disconnect will reflect differently when the season ends and it'll differ. Also, if kamala at least tried that hulk thing and went to the con with her dad, at least he might've been a little open. If one is willing to be open, many doors will open later
You said you like Indian cooking, but remember, Kamala and her family are Pakistani
People just like complainin'.
I have a weird feeling that Kamala was being fitted for a wedding dress. In many cultures red is the traditional color.
The mom was definitely trying to make her grow up fast
Kamala’s brother is getting married. Her getting fitted was one of the errands that Kamala and her mother were doing.
@@lunalavender5027 oh, ok. Thank you. 💖
He didn't watch spiderman no way home so he didn't know who is the guy in mid credit scene thats great🙂
I watched NWH I just don't remember who that is
she is pakistani btw not indian
The intro was fucking eloquent!
Please watch the new show "Star Trek - Strange New Worlds"! 🖖
I've got a "new" movie suggestion: Anti-war Cannes Film Festival Movie "Johnny Got His Gun" 1971 (It's free on TH-cam). Another fun fact about it is that the band METALLICA bought the rights to the film out-right so that they could use footage from it to create one of the most popular Metal songs ever "One", a song sang through the perspective of a war veteran, which gives a big rundown of the movie and its story. Also also, the movie was written and directed by the author of the novel that it is based on. All-in-all, It's a good thought-provoking movie and I would love to see what you think.
nice pfp, looks like the superhero Blue Marvel
But they complained about M.O.M ....some folks will complain about anything bro
IKR.... And They Think Their Complaints Are Valid... It's Not The Movies Fault That You Wanted 100 Damn Cameos
@@HelloMellowXVI exactly!!
Streets need that RRR reaction mell
I loved the Ms Marvel comic when I first read it. Not sure why the first episode didn't work for me. I do want to rewatch it. I was a bit distracted when I first watched so that probably didn't help
9:40 I thought that too but if it were me, I’d go with free vs having to buy lol
reaction The CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON MOVIE thank you
Btw Kamala is Pakistani, not Indian :))
Your tee!!
You said dream con? I have an extra ticket. My buddy had to cancel cause he couldn’t afford the plane so
Awe that sounds coo
reaction THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON movie thank you
Where is Moon knight 🥺
You should go on YoungRippa59's podcast and discuss this show.
You definitely need to attend a con, it'll change your life.
First
Kamala Khan isn't from India she's a Muslim Pakistani-American. they also made sure to actually cast a pakistani actress for the lead role: Iman is Pakistani-Canadian. sadly for the rest of her fam they slacked off and just choose actors of indian descent to play pakistani people again
correction kamala khan is pakistani american not indian love your videos tho
Ain’t that in India 🧍🏾♀️
From your intro, it just sounds like you are stuck in the wrong sides of the Internet. It just doesn't seem like these are majority opinions from where I'm sitting, outside the ragebait TH-cam world.
When is the stranger things reaction gonna be up
Yes would love to see that!
Nope... just most ppl have pg13 mind..
I think their Pakistani not indians
It's nice to hear a young brother not caught up in White supremacy, just think about Captain America, but I hear brothers spitting out the White man's conservative hate for change and don't recognize those old days wasn't good for Blacks just one or two superheroes.
They're Pakistani not Indian.
Wtf whit that title
I didn’t like the 1st episode tbh but I hope this series has a good story. I’m actually glad that they are bringing in more diversity in the mcu
🙄
Love your reactions but I gotta say Disney is ruining a lot! They have destroyed Star Wars and the mcu has become more pg that’s why dead pool 3 add had to point out saying it won’t be disnyfied. And I like kid movies but Disney is just different more sjw and woke that’s why people hate on it, but either way some are good some aren’t.
Awww I'm sorry you're not getting your blood and guts, and vulgar language
How did they ruin Star Wars? I see buch of bug fans loving them so much? Especially Mendalorian (me a casual got hooked to it, regardless of Grogu's experience). And let's be real MCU was always PG (blood and gore side), I would argue they became more mature with the heavy topics they cover.
First episode kinda mid tbh
Personally I don't really care what they do with the MCU when it comes to as some say the "M-She-U". I respect and have much admiration for females and strong female characters (if they are believable, like Brienne of Tarth from GOT for ex.) but with all the numerous examples as of late, you can't say that it's not an issue at all and those people are just simply being assholes. When I heard the title She Hulk: Attorney at Law I honestly couldn't stop laughing and the new Thor with Jane as a female Thor seems ridiculous imo. Those are the only two that kind of leaves me scratching my head in confusion. Other than that I really don't have a problem.
She-Hulk has existed as a character since 1980, Jane Foster was first Thor in 2014.
Also, in the comics at one point a frog was Thor. Jane being Thor is hardly less plausible.
These two have been around for quite some time now.
@@wackyvorlon How does them being around for a while make it any less ridiculous? At least you didn't bite my head off on the subject and for that I thank you.
@@robertmolton6761 it’s given time for ideas to be fleshed out and developed. As well, there are many absurd ideas in the source material that we now accept. Peter Parker gains his powers from being bitten by a radioactive spider, that honestly seems no less absurd to me than anything else.
In the MCU, suspension of disbelief carries a lot of weight. It is not so much plausibility that matters, but rather how the story is actually told. There’s a world full of absurd premises in storytelling, but the telling of the story determines whether we love it. I think given the many grand films that the MCU has brought us it is worth reserving judgement until it’s actually released.
You might still hate them and find them absurd, which is your right. This is intrinsically subjective. That’s the benefit of a wide variety of characters, hopefully everyone gets something that they connect with. I personally think She-Hulk has the potential to be a lot of fun, I don’t really know how Jane as Thor will play out. I guess it’s neither here nor there for me.
I would encourage giving them both a shot, though, and Ms Marvel. Even if only for a few minutes. There’s always a chance you might find something you truly enjoy. These things can surprise you.
Unfortunately people can become very heated about characters that are very close to their hearts. I think the ability to talk about them calmly and in good faith is essential, especially if you’re trying to share something that you love. Not everybody will like it, but some will. And even some who at first thought they would hate it.
@@wackyvorlon Thanks for the thoughtful effort to present your point of view. Respect. 👍Also I did watch Ms. Marvel and it wasn't bad imo. I will at least check out the other forementioned programs. When Wandavision first was advertised I thought that was going to be stupid, but it was actually pretty cool and unique. So who knows.
I'm sorry but Ms. Marvel series is completely garbage. 👎
It's one freaking episode, you people are so annoying
Yea but its just one episode bro. I was kinda annoyed watching it and It wasn’t 2 good. However, I wouldn’t judge the whole series yet.
@@daurydavis3983 fr tho annoying as fuck
It literally just came out…
Nope
I have to disagree with your "they just want to see the next event movie". My thoughts are Disney/Marvel are actually rushing towards the next event by over-introducing characters because of the combination of movies and TV shows. I'd be much happier with another long series of solo/team movies building towards a great threat (which I guess has to be huge given the Infinity Saga). The problem for me is that Disney/Marvel want to squeeze as much money as possible out of everything so they're introduced fringe, and not very interesting characters, to try and satisfy EVERY demographic which means rushing stories, rushing plotlines, giving thin character development, etc. You've only got to look at Dr Strange 2 and realise it's essentially a Scarlet Witch movie with as much shoe-horned in characters/threads as they can muster. I'd have much preferred a movie about Dr Strange post-Endgame and a separate movie (or series) of Wanda becoming Scarlet Witch and leading to a House of M storyline. Then they could ultimately bring movie threads together for a team/threat ala Avengers. Trying to get every character out there as quickly as possible, in rushed under developed TV shows, just isn't working for me. But each to their own obviously.
What is wrong with Marvel trying to satisfy every demographic? Why do you feel they should cater to only the demographics you care about or approve of ? Marvel should only produce stuff that you like? Who died and made you a gatekeeper for Marvel content? Like wtf?
@@enadegheeghaghe6369 I get your point, I'm not saying they should only produce what matters to me. What I'm saying is that by trying to cater for every demographic they're essentially causing a problem, because they're trying to satisfy everyone. What I'm trying to say is that ultimately story/character should come first, not targeting demographics and then building your narration around that. Cater for everyone, definitely, but at the expense of chopping/changes this to target demographics as your first aim, then no. For example, they have a set of well established characters which they're now pushing to the back in favour of target a demographic. What I believe they should have done is develop a new set of characters/stories on screen for whomever they wanted to target (from a huge rich back catalogue) separately, without devaluing or pushing existing characters into the background (which is how they've gone about it). Then they'd have two sets of stories and characters for multiple demos to enjoy, which could continue separately and come together on/off. What they've actually done is built a base set of characters then decided to trounce them on screen at the same time as bringing new characters, that's where the problem lies and why you're going to get annoyed fans and a split fan base.
@@damianlord7954 so you wanted to get Iron Man and Captain America in the movies forever? Well the actors have had their fill and want to move on to other things. LOL.
Movies are not like comic books. They can't stay the same age forever like they do in comic books.
More than 95% of MCU fans and ticket buyers are not comic book readers and guess what? They are still fans of the MCU. You subset of angry comic book nerds don't own the MCU. Stop trying to be gatekeepers
@@enadegheeghaghe6369 fair enough, you've failed to understand my opinion as to why I think Disney/Marvel have found themselves at loggerheads with their fans, but hey ho. But don't worry I'm not angry, not a comic book reader/nerd, and I'm still watching.
@@damianlord7954 which "fans” are you talking about though? You talk as if those subset of fans who are upset with Marvel are the only fans. What about all the other millions of people who love the new shows and new characters and all the diversity they bring? Aren't they fans as well? Why is catering to your subset more important than catering to the other arguebly larger groups of fans? That sense of entitlement Is what pisses me off.
Even if you don't like all the new stuff that they are doing, at least acknowledge that other people love this new material.
first rule of not sounding woke .....stop acknowledging people that have issues with new shows . the moment you did you sound like all the others that make this about the real fans of comics and not about the content in the movie . let them tell a good story and thats it and if the big bad guy is a man this will just be another woke shit show depending on how they do it . in real life the biggest enemy of a girl is another girl or another woman anything more the chances of it getting woke is wow
This sucks. It is about her sex and her skin color. That is the only reason this was made.
Yep! Everything must be made to cater to my exact tastes and interests. Things should always be exploding and the action should never stop. Who cares about creativity or uniqueness? Let’s see some cameos and punching.
(Sarcasm if it wasn't clear)
@@mitsukitai2713 lecturing the audience about someone's sexuality and race isn't creative or unique.
And if you didn't know, this movie is a marvel movie. In other words, it's purely about explosions and nonstop action. It should have been anyway.
@@kurtkatzemcqueennovaaetate6873 then my man you clearly miss point of comics and storytelling if you want only punches (not that it's bad thing but you rarely have only one thing in movies)
@@Andjelka99 My point is that action brings in the money. A good storyline draws a person in. I should have been more clear. But this series doesn't have a good storyline at all. It sucks, it was made as a political statement. She is Muslim, a woman, and she's not white. That's the only reason they made this.
@@kurtkatzemcqueennovaaetate6873
Uh, how is a character just being female and Muslim "lecturing"? It's not a "political statement" that someone is LGBTQA+ or non white in fictional media. These people simply **exist.** It really isn't "shoving it your face" to show that. I really hate to break it to you, but not everyone in the world is straight, white, and Xtian. Many people are tired of the vocal minority who thinks that that is the "default"
The character of Kamala Kahn has ALWAYS been Muslim and female. It's integral to her entire story. If it bothers you so much, especially since you can't come up with any convincing criticisms of her that aren't racist/sexist/Islamophobic..stop watching it.
Simple as that.
Ya’ll nuts. This show sucks!!!!!!
Ok
Nope
