If she gets her powers from Bangles she will probably walk like an Egyptian.

The Social Medida Embargo lifted today, here's some reactions so far:
Alex Zalben (Decider) - Ms. Marvel, based on the first two episodes, has a ton of visual flair, and found the perfect Kamala Khan in Iman Vellani. The show has some inconsistent pacing and energy at times, but is overall very fun. And, I'm so glad it exists; it's going to mean a ton, to a ton of people. Speaking purely MCU-wise, Ms Marvel hits a similar tone and feel to Spider-Man: Homecoming, and visually often seems like an expansion of some of the ideas there particularly when it comes to Kamala’s fan-type experiences. Also channels some of the goofy humor from Ant-Man 1 & 2.
Charles Murphy - The Ms Marvel pilot episode caught me by surprise in the best ways. It’s as close as we’ve come in the MCU to comic book pages coming to life. It’s inventive, bright & a ton of fun. My strong feeling is that teens are going to fall in love with this show. I know my kids will. Kamala Khan's family is front and center and they are absolutely wonderful. I enjoyed the back and forth and the way the family dynamic was portrayed. I’m glad Marvel took their time finding Iman Vellani. She’s FANTASTIC and shows a ton of range over the first two episodes. While we don’t get the full story on the new origins in the 1st 2 episodes, you get enough to start to piece it together & it truly seems like it might be for the best. They kept enough to make it feel close enough to the comics &her powers look really cool! A non-issue to me.
Fico (CineXpress) - Iman Vellani is marvelous as young Kamala Khan aka #MsMarvel. The first 2 episodes are a fun, witty & colorful introduction to her imaginative teenage coming-of-age story. Style & tone reminded me of Mitchells Vs. The Machines. So far, so good. Looking forward to the rest of it.
Leo Rydel (Geekly Goods) - I got to catch the first two episodes of #MsMarvel and it’s so fun so far! Iman is a natural as Kamala and has such relatable energy! The visuals are whimsical and fitting, and the coming-of-age genre melts into it perfectly!I love the inclusion of Muslim and Pakistani traditions! It is so important for people to feel seen and heard in such a tentpole genre. Marvel is really doing their best with including people of different races, genders, sexualities, and more! The powers I’m a LITTLE so-so on. They’re not terrible, I just need to know more! And the story is a bit all over the place by the second episode. It feels like they threw a LOT at us and like there’s a lot to chew on. Still excited for episode 3!
Russ Milhelm (TheDirect) - Ms Marvel’s first two episodes proved my hesitations wrong. Iman Vellani is perfect for the role, and does a phenomenal job. She’ll quickly become an MCU favorite. Her chemistry with Matt Lintz’ Bruno is also top notch. So far, the series is great. The animated stylings and doodles throughout are a really fun touch. Also, the opening minutes somehow gets you to buy her obsession with Captain Marvel despite the character’s limited time in the public. The closing credits sequence is among my favorite of all the Disney+ series. My grievances about her power changes remain, and likely will remain as long as the light constructs do. Hopefully the series maintains the same quality until the very end.
Jack McBryan (TheDirect) - Ms. Marvel thoughts: - Iman is fantastic. She's relatable, likable, funny, everything you would want in Kamala. - Jersey City feels alive in a way that no other location in the MCU has been. Has life similar to the NYC in Raimi's Spider-Man movies. - The supporting cast is killer. Every member of Kamala's family is great, their dynamic makes the show. I think Kamala's friend Nakia will be a fan favorite. - For people uncertain about her power change: Kamala's insecurities are still represented through her powers. - The supporting cast is killer.

I think Kamala's friend Nakia will be a fan favorite. - For people uncertain about her power change: Kamala's insecurities are still represented through her powers. Summary: I really really liked episodes 1 and 2. It is the coming of age story we all wanted this to be. I think the show sets up Kamala well to have a similar appeal and relatability as Peter Parker does; which could make Ms. Marvel a household name in the near future.
Brandon Katz (TheWrap) - Ms Marvel: Enjoying the high school sitcom style. Head writer Bisha K. Ali has crafted a self-assured identity w/ relatable family dynamics, setting up a clear arc for Kamala to discover her true self. Her powers look GREAT & the animation FX flourishes accentuate the story. Ms Marvel is vibrant, colorful, and optimistic. If you're looking for grand world-impacting stakes, nothing in the first two episodes suggests that's what this show is about. But Ms. Marvel's focus on the more mundane growing pains of high school/family life are refreshing.

Metro UK (4/5): Kamala Khan is a breath of fresh air to the MCU and the fangirl queen we’ve been waiting for
Empire Magazine (4/5): Frothy and fun, Ms Marvel’s opening act is relatively lightweight, but for both adults and its teen target audience, it’s a compelling and unique addition to the MCU.
Variety : ‘Ms. Marvel’ Brings ‘Into the Spider-Verse’ Energy to Charming, Refreshing New Heroine
IGN (8/10): Ms. Marvel directors Adil and Bilall immediately pull us in with solid visual flourishes, and Iman Vellani is an arresting lead. Ultimately, this Disney+ series gets off to a bold start.
IndieWire (B+): Latest Disney+ Marvel adaptation Is charming and winsome; from the acting to the visuals, Marvel's newest series is its most likable yet
TheWrap : The latest Marvel Disney+ series Ms*.* Marvel is a vibrant and delightful change of pace from the MCU's more adult-skewing recent streaming shows.

SlashFilm : Ms. Marvel is a fantastic coming-of-age comedy that happens to moonlight as a superhero show.

So thoughts on the first episode?
I thought it was fun, especially the convention scene.

So thoughts on the first episode? I thought it was fun, especially the convention scene. If one were to tell me this series would have the most distinctive and unique visual style of any Marvel Cinematic Universe entry (On a cinematography and editing level) I wouldn't have believed you, but lo and behold...It *is* just that. Very energetic and creative camera work and use of graphics; felt like a live-action animation a lot of times. Into the Spider-Verse vibes were plenty, which is welcomed. Like with Into the Spider-Verse Kamala Khan gets somewhat of a makeover for the screen and it works in the character's favor. This is, so far, a better written origin than the source material and I find the wide range of views on The Avengers both interesting and believable - I am only iffy on the popularity of Captain Marvel and the Guardians of the Galaxy however, the best that can be assumed if that Rocket and Carol did quite a lot for Earth in those five years to make impact. The premiere was quirky and funny and managed to present some heart in there and not feel too off brand with Marvel Studios, with that said the last half of the episode could've needed more rethinking, but episode 2 might make up for that.

I just finished watching the first episode. I was really surprised how much I enjoyed this. I could just be crazy, but I notice little hints of Scott Pilgrim and maybe Spider-Man Homecoming. It was a very fun first episode and I hope they stick to what made this episode work.
My only pet peeve was how highly she thought of Captain Marvel. She was like “oh yeah she punched Thanos in the face and destroyed his ship”. Yeah so? She couldn’t even get the Infinity Gauntlet off Thanos and Thanos basically put her in her place. It was just a big annoyance honestly.
