Absolutely loved the first two eps of #MsMarvel! 💥 Tons of Easter eggs for comic readers & fun moments for MCU fans…the show is fresh, heartfelt, & a real love letter to the elements that made the comic so special/relatable. Iman Vellani is the perfect Kamala Khan. pic.twitter.com/aaGiILukhW

I watched the first 2 episodes of #MsMarvel. It's so closely linked to the #MCU, yet unbelievably different from what they typically put out. It's creative, whimsical and the truest depiction of teenaged life in the shared universe.#MarvelStudios @FandomWire @CinemaStubs pic.twitter.com/HU83bLt0Wh

Ms. Marvel is an epic, game-changing series for Muslim representation in the MCU. By the time the second episode ended I was already begging for more.
Iman Vellani is a standout as Kamala and I cannot wait to see her in the rest of the series. AND THE MUSIC IS SO GOOD. 😭

#MsMarvel is a Delightful Surprise. The first 2 episodes establish a stylistic coming of age story visually/story wise that was AWESOME.. Kinda reminded me of Dope in some ways. Iman Vellani Ms Marvel is one of your next favorite Marvel Heroes! Very happy to see the rest pic.twitter.com/5wKhzsodea

I’ve seen the first two episodes of #MsMarvel! The series feels like a lighthearted departure from previous series; filled with clever editing, smart dialogue, and teenage woes. It doesn’t quite know what it is yet, but hopefully it’ll get there soon. Iman Vellani is fantastic. pic.twitter.com/f3WIufZaPW

Got the opportunity to watch the first two episodes of #MsMarvel. It may be the best MCU show since WandaVision (which is saying a lot since there has seemingly been hundreds). Its playful energy is perfect for the title character and moves Marvel TV into exciting new directions. pic.twitter.com/bsyhVo0JG3

I got to catch the first two episodes of #MsMarvel and it’s so fun so far! Iman is a natural as Kamala and has such relatable energy! The visuals are whimsical and fitting, and the coming-of-age genre melts into it perfectly! pic.twitter.com/I6E0HJRXKr

#MsMarvel is EVERYTHING I wanted. Iman is PERFECT as Kamala. After two episodes, I can't wait to see what happens next.
For those worried about the power changes, it works & still captures the heart of who she is as a person & a hero. Also, can we have a REAL Avengers Con? pic.twitter.com/GatXf7wHCZ

– Iman Vellani is a rockstar. Her #KamalaKhan is part of everything that's good about the first two #MsMarvel episodes.
– The rhythm of the show and its visual cues (especially in episode 1) are just delightful and a breath of fresh air. pic.twitter.com/7FKCwWFory— João RP (@joaoroquepinto) May 25, 2022
#MsMarvel most definitely feels the most like Homecoming. Kamala is a straight up nerd who is in love with the Avengers. What makes her journey more interesting is her struggle with identity, being a Pakistani and a Muslim America. Her awkwardness is soo relatable and charming. pic.twitter.com/nfIlMsYMq2

#MsMarvel is a bright and colorful high school fever dream. Kamala Khan’s superhero journey is nuanced and her navigation of the modern world as a Pakistani-American Muslim teenager is relatable yet culturally specific. Iman Vellani is a delight. And those perfect music bangers. pic.twitter.com/Z49mlCHRik

The show feels a little stereotypical in some aspects I'm not the person best suited to speak of, but the tone is good, the vibe is great and the character fits right in. Plus, you won't confuse this one with other MCU shows. #MsMarvel

I got to see the first 2 episodes of #MsMarvel and the show is SO FUN!! Imani Vellani’s Kamala Khan is an instantly relatable Marvel fan girl. People are going to love her and her family! Most surprising was the tone it’s VERY stylized, upbeat, and a little dark. I’m hooked! pic.twitter.com/OtBCDpK0c0

#MsMarvel first 2 episodes really establish this coming of age, bubbly, artistic tone. It’s much more of an after school drama, tackling cultural norms & teen angst than superhero action. Iman Vellani adds a LOT of personality in this origin story. Visualization of powers is meh. pic.twitter.com/CaPYNANFI0

#MsMarvel review — It's good! Very refreshing and light show that gives us a big breather from where we've been in the MCU. Gives viewers a feel for what the rest of the world is going through and how the world sees Avengers. It's fun, exciting and humorous. I'm on board!

About Ms. Marvel
Marvel Studios’ “Ms. Marvel” is a new, original series that introduces Kamala Khan, a Muslim American teenager growing up in Jersey City. An avid gamer and a voracious fan-fiction scribe, Kamala is a Super Hero megafan with an oversized imagination—particularly when it comes to Captain Marvel. Yet Kamala feels like she doesn’t fit in at school and sometimes even at home—that is, until she gets superpowers like the heroes she’s always looked up to. Life gets better with superpowers, right?
MS. MARVEL will air weekly on Disney+ beginning June 8, 2022.
