Fair enough. It's definitely got a high school melodrama vibe.I'll watch it because I am an uber-comic geek and happily give it a chance to surprise me, but this is the first MCU outing that I have no real interest in. Nothing against the show but it just looks like it's targeting an audience younger than a 53-year-old dude.
I suspect they also wanted to give her a more cosmic vibe for her appearance alongside Monica and Carol in the upcoming Marvels movie.Hmm. Dunno what I think about the change to her powers. Guess it works better on a TV screen than stretching and shapeshifting, though.
Hey all,
Just discovered that Ms Marvel has a trailer now. Looks pretty good.

This seems much more High School-centric than the Spiderman movies I've seen (which, admittedly, I think is less than half of them these days). Spiderman certainly doesn't spend a lot of screen time navigating High School in the Sam Raimi movies. I don't remember any of the other movies well enough to opine.So that means you don't like any of the Spider-Man films either? Set in high school, after all. Or is it because they actually chose an actress who is close to her character's age, rather then being 8-12 years older than the character?
Interesting. So much for the original plan of "one show after another with no gaps or overlaps". Also interesting that they'll both be coming out on the same day. (Not that I'm complaining, mind you.)Yep, it was announced Tuesday morning with a trailer and a poster and the official start date of June 8th. That also means for the first time we will have a Star Wars series, Obi-Wan with a start date of May 25, and a Marvel series going at the same time on Disney+. That will be two new episodes on Wednesdays during most of June.
Speaking as another 53 year old dude, I feel like that about Moon Knight. I'm too old to have met the character in comics or cartoons and so have no affection for it. Ms. Marvel is also a new character to me, but at least its not trying to be dark and edgy, which is so 90s.I'll watch it because I am an uber-comic geek and happily give it a chance to surprise me, but this is the first MCU outing that I have no real interest in.

According to Wiki it was 1990. I certainly never came across the character when I was comic-reading age.Moon Knight debuted in 1975.
They seem to be giving her Quasar's armbands instead of making her an inhuman. And that's something I can respect, because the Inhumans TV series was dreadful, and now Marvel has the movie rights to X-Men back and no longer need to try to make Inhumans happen. And I say that as someone who is generally easy to please with superhero stuff.Hmm. Dunno what I think about the change to her powers.

It's entirely possible the wiki you looked at was for a particular run of the comics.According to Wiki it was 1990. I certainly never came across the character when I was comic-reading age.
I wonder if the armbands are related to Shang-Chi's rings?They seem to be giving her Quasar's armbands instead of making her an inhuman.
