THE MARVELS IS THE DUMBEST MCU MOVIE SINCE QUANTUMANIA!THE MARVELS IS THE DUMBEST MCU MOVIE SINCE QUANTUMANIA!
The Marvels. What a misnomer. Originally conceived as the sequel to the commercially successful Captain Marvel, Bree Larsen’s Carol Danvers has been relegated to team member, equal with the teenage Iman Vellani’s Ms. Marvel (introduced in her own Disney+ streaming TV series) and Teyonah Parris’ Monica Rambeau (who gained her light-based powers by walking through a Hex barrier. Hmm). If you keep your expectations, you might survive this silly illogical Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) vehicle. Thankfully, it’s relatively short – under two hours. Whew!
