  I found the first Captain Marvel movie to be relatively enjoyable. I had a lot of gripes with it but it was okay for the most part. However, Marvel Studios has been in a sort of downward spiral since Endgame so my hopes weren’t high for this. So is this a Marvellous entry or another to add to Marvel’s recent dumpster? One of the big issues in the first Captain Marvel was how incredibly stoic and bland Captain Marvel was. There was nothing emotionally engaging about her character. The sequel does improve upon this aspect by making her less stoic. She has more of an emotional and some actual proper reaction to things occurring.

  I was interested in Marvel Studios’ first TV-MA show and was hoping that this would be a step into the tone of something similar to the Marvel Netflix shows. God, I was wrong. The writing is awful. Maya Lopez, the main character, has no depth or proper development. She is bland and one-dimensional. None of the supporting characters are interesting at all either. The story is just boring and all over the place. The show feels more interested in exploring the Native American community than its characters and the interesting gangster story. The show feels like it got butchered in the editing as some scenes are edited poorly and things in the plot feel missing. The final episode is especially terrible. It does have some enjoyable fight scenes and the actors, especially Vincent returning as Kingpin, all do a good job. However, this show is a massive disappointment and I hope that the MCU Daredevil show is significantly better.
