I saw it today. It was fine. It's far from "the worst movie in the MCU" like some reviews I've seen. And I didn't watch Ms. Marvel or Secret War, either. Still followed the story fine (I am a casual comics fan so I'm already vaguely familiar w/ Ms. Marvel and the Kree/Skrull war, in fairness).
Biggest contributor to the low B.O. in my opinion was the studios dragging out the writers & actors strikes and not being able to mount any publicity for the movie. I only remembered it was opening this weekend when I saw all the negative headlines about it coming out.
Ms. Marvel was pretty good. The villains were entirely forgettable, and some of the CG was phoned in. But the heart of the show, the main characters, and the humanity of it were all pretty good.
As most of the Marvel villains, sadly.
Ego, Killmonger, Blonsky, Loki, Thanos, Klau, Grandmaster, Zemo, they've had some great roles and better actors. They've had as many wasted opportunities as home runs, but I wouldn't say "most."
Yeah I really loved Ms Marvel but damn the ending was rushed.
Just like every marvel show the ending was rushed. That's the only thing it suffered from.
Ms. Marvel was fine, but it was, basically, a Nickelodeon kids show and most adults aren't going to want to sit through that.
I get what you're saying, but there have been some excellent Nickelodeon kids shows.
