    I would love for that to be true and I don't want to rain on anybody's parade here. I've gone on record here as saying that I think Ms. Marvel is one of the best things Marvel has ever made, so I would certainly welcome more of it. But I will believe it when the Hollywood trades report it...

    I was thinking more about it and I'm concerned about Kamala. It seems likely to me that Carol was probably pulled out of a very serious situation. It would almost be too easy, from a storytelling perspective, if she was just hanging out on the spaceship Fury was on in Far From Home. The...

    I think you are correct. I don't think even Marvel has a final running time for the movie yet, given that it is still about a year away. The whole reason they decided to move The Marvels to next July and put Quantmania in February is because The Marvels needs more time. So we know they're not...

    That would make sense. Where did you read that?

    I think it was important for Ms. Marvel to establish Kamala as her own character independent of Carol. If they had included her meeting Kamala now, I think Carol's presence would have detracted from Kamala's story of learning to come into her own with her own power. By the end, she isn't just...

    I think the question is what the next solo story they want to tell and how much time they need to tell it. I liked this season at this length because there's no way we would have gotten quite as much with Kamala's family, the trip to Pakistan and the historical context if they had to squeeze...

    Obviously, The Marvels will come first and that's not for another 379 days. I'm not sure if Disney can hold the entire cast to a long-term contract for a second season that likely wouldn't start production for a long time because of the movie. So it is probably best to consider this as a...

    Rosy Cordero from Deadline interviewed showrunner Bisha K. Ali about the finale. The article (and even the URL itself) include MAJOR spoilers, which is why I'm hiding it under a tag. Don't click if you haven't watched the finale yet.

    I understand why you want it as fan service. I won't be mad if it happens. I just think it wouldn't really add anything at this point. Carol and Kamala have a whole movie next year in which to interact and we know it. I'd much rather that the finale focus on completing this story with the...

    I don't think that is necessary at all. As you know, I'm a big fan of Brie Larson and have been since before she joined the MCU. But this story is not The Marvels. This story is about Kamala coming into her own in her family and as superhero. While a cameo from Brie Larson is definitely...

    I think this is deliberate. This show in particular has gone to such great lengths to portray a specific culture in an accurate way that to deviate from the actual historical context of Partition would be counterintuitive to their goals. However, you're also right that the MCU does have to...

    I could be wrong, but my understanding is that She-Hulk is more of a sitcom and therefore might be shorter every week than a drama such as this. So it having nine episodes and Ms. Marvel having six aren't like-for-like comparisons. They're just dividing it up differently. This was also the...

    Thanks for posting this. But that being the case, I'd rather wait and see that a couple weeks from now after the season is over.

    I think that any potential second season depends on where The Marvels leaves Kamala and her journey. I think that we are going to see Kamala again, but I don't think they will announce their plans for her future until after we see that movie. Carol made very clear in Endgame that she considers...

    I was kind of surprised that Kamala was able to get to everyone to go to Pakistan without having to what is going on to her mom. But otherwise, this is a great episode. This show is peak MCU for me. It is also demonstrating the strength of the TV series format because there is no way we would...

    The second episode was terrific. There is one scene in particular that was so joyous and magical and perfectly executed that I paused the episode and backed it up just to watch it again as soon as it was over -- and it wasn't even a superhero moment. I really love that Disney+ does weekly...

    For me, the question is whether she needs the vambrace or not going forward. Carol got powers from the Tesseract, but she doesn't need to have the Tesseract on her at all times in order to use her powers. On the other hand, the power of the Ten Rings require the owner to physically have the...

    I just watched the first episode. It is so much fun. Iman Vellani is wonderful in the role. Marvel has found a big star. Also, everyone should note that there is a mid-credits scene this week. This is the first time any of the MCU Disney+ shows have done a mid-credits scene on the first...

    Laura Karpman composed the score for the series. This makes sense because she will also score The Marvels, so that will bring some musical consistency to this particular corner of the MCU. https://variety.com/2022/artisans/news/ms-marvel-composer-score-music-laura-karpman-1235268151/
