Like, with the D&D movie, they gelled pretty well - and to be fair to Marvel, with GotG3 they did too - but the tone was generally dark and the wackiness limited, and it was Gunn who is extremely good at that. With Thor: Love and Thunder, it was just tonal whiplash back and forth through the entire movie. With the Ms Marvel TV show, there was tonal whiplash between the like, episode 4/5 and episode 6, going from literally deadly serious to "Home Alone but with militarized cops who are somehow not killing people".RT has it at 61% which makes it better than Quantumania, but worse than Dr Strange 2 and Wakanda Forever, and considering I was deeply unimpressed by both of those, that's not really helping: <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_marvels" target="_blank">The Marvels</a></blockquote>
