Looking forward to starting that once I am caught up on Strange New Worlds.

Yeah, Ms. Marvel has been a pleasant surprise.

Moon Knight is a sandwich show: all the good stuff is in the middle. Stick with it.

MS. MARVEL Scores Lowest 5-Day Viewership Of Any MCU Disney+ Series So Far
https://comicbookmovie.com/tv/marvel/ms ... #gs.3ibzms

Shame but I understand. The teaser and trailers made it look like a CW show aimed at teenagers. The lead is an young female unknown portraying relatively unknown character. There’s also a good amount of Marvel fatigue happening. It’s a lot. I also won’t discount the amount of people who won’t watch simply because it’s about a Pakistani girl in a Muslim family.

Regardless, it’s the most interested I’ve been in a new Marvel character in years and it’s a shame it’s underperforming.

Dr Strange 2 is a lot of fun and very Sam Rami. It's really surprising that Marvel gave him that much influence. It joins Guardians of the Galaxy and Taika's Thor in a rare instance of an actual director POV in a Marvel movie. It makes me wish we got Edgar Wright's Ant Man.

Strange 2 was great. Very weird and pretty dark. It was completely different than what I was expecting. Agree with nocera above. I can get behind this kind of marvel stuff

New Ms marvel is good, but the worst part of this show is the action. Sometimes it feels like they go oh no we are too in to this really good story, we need action and we need it now.

The majority of action in MCU content is trash. That's why stuff like Shang-Chi stands out so positively.

Throughly mediocre reviews coming in for Thor. Formulaic MCU film with an injection of Taika’s humor. I’m sure it’ll be fun enough and worth the watch (unlike Strange 2, which is a steaming pile of CGI ****), but this just seems like another middling, wayward entry in the post-Endgame MCU. The first three phases of the MCU did such a good job of building toward something bigger, while everything since (other than Spider-Man) is wheel spinning for the sake of money while trying to figure out where the hell to head next.

Finished Moon Knight on my flights, and this sums it up perfectly. If there is a season 2, I'll tune in.

Ms. Marvel finale was great.
I was a little confused when the X-Men music started playing, is this how they are introducing X-Men?
Enjoyed the new new Thor movie, but you can definitely tell there was more to the story and they decided to go heavy on the comedy bits instead of story. A bit of a mess, but I had fun with it.

I enjoyed Ms Marvel a lot until the last 2 episodes. I just don't feel invested in it. I went to sleep with 15 minutes left in the finale and didn't think to finish it this morning. And the mom is really unlikable and smug and doesn't get redeemed by saying I hold so tight because I care. Still liked the series (mostly for the broad cultural look) but I think it might be bottom of the list for me

Yeah, with it being played when he said he found a "mutation" in her genes, I'd say the mutant connection seems pretty solidified
I'd also say Ms Marvel felt like it ran out of steam a little towards the end, but I'd still put it above WandaVision, and of course Falcon+WS.

I have two episodes to go in Ms Marvel and I'm feeling the same thing. I wish they would've kept the episode length to 22-30 minutes. This shouldn't be hour long episodes. The other issue is the family aspect is now taking a backseat to action and the action, unfortunately, isn't that great. This show shines when it's the whole family together and the superhero stuff is in the background. Like most Marvel shows, this should've been a 90 minute movie instead. The only Marvel show that actually made sense as an episodic series was WandaVision. I know it doesn't get much love here, but that series actually took advantage of the medium. The others are movies that were dragged out to fill a series.

Watching the Eternals right now. About 60% of the way through. It's ok. Probably because I don't know the characters (although I didn't know Guardian's of the Galaxy and loved it). Going to try to finish it tonight.

Ms. Marvel was fine. The cameo made the whole thing worthwhile, although I did enjoy the Pakistani culture throughout the series.

Yeah, but I liked the history of the Partition and life as a Pakistani-American. Probably a little too surfacy, but I found it interesting. Ms. Marvel is still a bottom tier Marvel show though.

I just finished it today. The series started super strong but like I said it lost a lot of steam. I attribute that mostly to the run time. This isn't a story that needed nearly 5 hours. Like most Marvel shows, it should've been a 90 minute movie.

Finally got through Moon Knight and I agree that the middle episodes are great. I have the same problem with it that I've had with every other Marvel show. This did not need to be 5 hours. Give this same story to me in a 2 hour film and it's a solid phase 4 movie. 5 hours spread out over 6 episodes and it's a slog.

In other news, Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and Logan have been added to Disney+. That's kind of crazy.

I would still watch a second season of Moon Knight.
