Another good one. Really enjoying this so far.

Goldberg74

Me too. The story moved ahead pretty good and the DoDC is mixing in a bit more.



OldBoy

This show really is tailor made for the CW. I don’t see what interest an adult would get from it.

Goldberg74

I guess I’m just young at heart. ❤️

Why So Blu?

And teen girls. I might drop out after this episode.

Goldberg74

Check back in a month and see if it gets better. 😉 (… or just read a synopsis so you know how it ties into The Marvels).

The show is ok but I’m still having a problem with the dialogue track, it sounds muffled to me at times. This is the only Disney show I’m having problems with like this.

Goldberg74

I watch it through my PS5 connected to a $30 ON sound bar and I can hear everything just fine. No audio issues what so ever. Curious.

Eric F

Someone else said they were having similar issues. I think it’s how they mix the audio. Sound bars are made to accentuate dialogue to begin with. I use a 3.2.1 setup and I think the center channel is just lost in the mix at times.

I'm nowhere near the target audience but I like it enough to stick with it. And I'm still chuckling at "Illumin-Aunties"!

Draven

You don’t see how an adult could be interested in a bright and colorful show with good actors, fun visuals and a perspective on a culture we don’t get to see on television very much?

We actually have the same problem - some of the dialogue gets muffled for us too. We also have never seen this issue with my setup (which I’ve probably been using in this configuration for like 15 years.)

OldBoy

nope. this is a show made for and catered to kids/teens. certainly not catered to adults.

So... adults can't enjoy it? Interesting take from an old boy...

OldBoy

^ adults can enjoy and most here seem to. i'm merely saying this is a kids show with little appeal to an adult audience.

While I will admit that Ms. Marvel lends itself to a younger age group, I suppose it's how one defines "kids show". I recall people saying something similar when Spider-Man Homecoming dropped, that it was for a younger audience.

When I think "kids show", I think Teletubbies, for example. I don't think Spider-Man Homecoming or Ms. Marvel.

I think a fairer comparison would be Ms. Marvel and Pixar's Turning Red. Both have similar themes, editing, graphic tricks and character traits.

Draven

What makes this a "kids show"? I have teenagers - I remember what they watched as kids. This is not a "kids show".

Back to the episode itself, I love that she almost failed to save that kid from falling and he did actually end up getting hurt. It's pretty shocking to not see a Marvel character make the save. I thought that felt super realistic to how that first time would actually go.

Why So Blu?

It's a YA show. A tame YA show.

Draven

Based on what parameters? The brightness being turned up?

OldBoy

It’s not even that colorful. You guys make it seem like some super bright-lite show. Except for her powers lighting up that’s it. Everything surrounding the cg powers is like normal drab to some color world.

And to compare a 6 episode tween show, played by a girl who looks every bit of 15/16 or however old she is supposed to be to I guess any incarnation of Spider-Man movies is apples and oranges imo. They just cater to different audiences. Some overlapping, of course, but different demographics absolutely. My dad loved first Spidey with Maguire but would have 0 interest in a show like this. It’s not disparaging it just is what it is.

Nothing in Ms. Marvel comes close to speaking to adult/older audiences and I’m sure Nielsen numbers, or however they calculate now would prove that.

Goldberg74

So I’m guessing you haven’t watched these yet either? 😉

Why So Blu?

Young Adults tend to be 13-17, maybe 18. At least that's how they get categorized in schools and public libraries. Matches the tone and tonality the show is trying to get across. I never said it was a kiddie show.

Deftones

Colorful and bright are two completely different things. You can't even get that right, so how is someone supposed to even take your opinion seriously?

Okay back to the point of this thread and not arguing if this show is "mature" enough for you.

I really enjoyed episode 2 as well. Dealt with a wide array of feelings for Kamala and her family. Seeing the innocence of Kamala feeling her 1st crush. Then her father talking about why they came to America so his kids can be anything they wanted to be. I thought those were very poignant moments. I also think it's cool that Kamala doesn't know or really understand her abilities yet, so she even has to call a relative to get some insight.

and then we also get more insight into this Muslim family and their involvement in the community. Really interesting stuff and it's a very different origin story. The ending with Kamran was interesting. I have to assume he's been monitoring her for awhile now.

Draven

I don’t even know what you’re talking about - this thing is exploding with color.
