Episode 1Ugh.
Not overly good or bad. Just there.
Sure, they throw in all the little tidbits that made the Fraction/Aja comic so fun, so that stuff is in there, but man the fun isn't. There is nothing super bad, at least not ones that hit you hard, or immediate and nothing too drastic, but for me and the style of filming I enjoy, I think it is going to be a long season. Or a very short one maybe, if the second episode is anything like this first one.
Again, hey, there is nothing too dreadful here... it will have its fans and I am sure this will be a good show for lots of folks (like Jeff and "the kid" for example. This has the making of a great shot to watch together and I hope they dig the hell out of it!!), but it is just very close to being in that "boring" and/or "CW" style without actually getting to either.
I think I may have turned too boorish in my old age for these shows.
But little things can get stuck in my head and I won't let them go. Like a fight scene, where they have "Kate" make all of those damn sounds when she is fighting, it irks my ears almost the entire "fight" to which turns me off not just the entire scene, but a few minutes afterwards. It FORCES me to roll my eyes and it is all I can think of even halfway in the next scene. But the noises

... it is akin to... to use a semi-recently discussed general sports topic... it is like listening to a Sharapova/Monica Seles tennis match

Yes, I am worried about this show, but I am also hoping it gets better for me. I do think there is enjoyable stuff here, but most of it is hidden. I hope they bring more of it out as the show progresses. I am scared that Marvel live action television shows are going to go with an "every other one" routine... if this first episode is any indication.
- An interesting approach - WandaVision
- A boring ass cookie cutter approach - Falcon Winter Soldier
- An interesting approach - Loki
- A boring ass cookie cutter approach - Hawkeye
Of course if that reoccurrence of style does hold true then I should be pretty damn sad about Moon Knight coming out after Ms. Marvel.
