Ms. Marvel

[ecarden]

I wouldn’t call it overstuffed, and I’d say they managed the balance fairly well for the first four episodes, with the understanding that the superheroics isn’t always the priority.

Question now is whether they pull off a neat bowtie in the final episode (to paraphrase Asimov) or if they follow in the established Disney+ tradition of finishing with a solid ground loop..

I think the first two episodes balanced things very well, then the Djinn...happened. I think I view it as overstuffed because that storyline was just moving at lightspeed and dragging everything else along with it, but it could also be that every time the Djinn were on screen, I was distracted by how weak I find them as villains, which made it feel more dominant than it actually was.
