Saw this yesterday - Iman Vellani completely stole the show. She was excellent, all the way through to her Nick Fury homage at the end. I liked Larson a bit more than I did in her first movie - I actually like her deadpan delivery, and she played a pretty good straight man to Vellani. And honestly, Parris was the weak link. I'm just not feeling her delivery and acting at all (felt the same with Wandavision).

Weak villain, the musical planet was an interesting choice (didn't hate it, but it didn't click with me, either). But overall, I was definitely entertained and had some good chuckles. And the fight sequences with the switching were really well done (choreography and effects).

One thing I may have missed... When was it established that Ms. Marvel could use her powers without wearing the bangle? I watched all of the D+ show, but don't recall that.

The bangle just unlocked her power - she's actually a mutant. I found where someone pulled this line from the show:

Bruno: So it looks like your power isn't coming from the bangle. It's coming from within you. Like the bangle unlocked the superhuman part of you.

Thanks, I definitely missed that (or didn't remember). Then why wear it at all? lol Just a fashion accessory.

I guess just to "keep it from falling into the wrong hands"


Edit - Went and watched the ending on D+ - I do remember the Animated Series riff now, so I guess that just slipped my mind during this movie.

The bracelets appears to have their own power set. I'm assuming they can do the same things for Kamala that they did for Dar-Benn - absorbing and redirecting cosmic energy. She just also has her hard light powers (which Dar-Benn did not get when she wore the bands).

OK, saw it over the weekend with the kids. They hadn't seen Wandavision or Ms. Marvel so had to give them a 30 second recap and that was sufficient. Didn't hate it but felt like a placeholder that didn't add anything to the MCU until the post credits scene.
