re: "The Marvels" Now on Disney Plus. Belated Reviews. Spoilers Ok

I don't necessarily disagree with anything you put, but I will expand on a couple of things.

Spoilers below:

quote:

---

Larson's acting has always been a weak point in this series, I put part of it on the writing as well because they've written the character thus far as being a Mary Sue with a fairly generic personality.

---

My biggest issue with this is that she hasn't grown. The writers were given opportunities to have her show emotional growth, but chose to keep her stoic and somewhat introverted.

quote:

---

Monica's character is almost equally as bland. She's a very reluctant hero but the writing avoided doing any underscoring of this.

---

They glossed over this but tried to use it as a reconnecting point between her and Carol. It didn't work because they didn't put the work in to Monica's reluctance.

quote:

---

Kamala Kahn's actress was just the opposite. She was easily the most noticeable character because she was written with more personality than the other two lacked. With that, she was a bit over the top at times.

---

Agreed. But they put her "over the top" because she is a kid meeting her idol and even addressed it with her apologizing to Carol at one point. For me, this is a point for the writers. Not against.

The planet where they spoke by singing was dumb. Cringe dumb.

However, the montage where they were trying to figure out how their powers were intertwined worked for me and it had a lot to do with the song, Intergalactic.
