Most of the episodes have been better than I expected, so no complaints from me. Can Jessica Gao head the next comedic MCU movie project instead of Taika Watiti?
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

I’m still not completely sold on the whole breaking the fourth wall business. It could win me over but it hasn’t yet. The high points are pretty high, though!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I laughed SO HARDSame! That was the best.
I’m still not completely sold on the whole breaking the fourth wall business.I'm enjoying that, and playing with tropes, and poking fun at story structure... It all amuses me.
And I wasn't caught up here when I was watching Ms Marvel so... I absolutely loved the style of it. I think the changes they made from the comics were smart. It was a lot of story to pack into a few episodes. The regular characters were all delightful and Kamala could not possibly have been more charming.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Series finale. That was a fun twist on a deus ex machina.

So weird to see Daredevil in the sunshine.

IJWTS I find the phrase “intensely suggestive dialogue” hilarious.

You are not wrong, Dana.
As I halfway suspected, my apparent issue with the 4th wall breakage was that there was not enough of it…
In short, that was fun!

I hit the "oh come on!" wall a few seconds before Jen did, but what followed after vaulted this show past WandaVision to become my favorite MCU show.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Completely agree! That was tremendous fun and I wish the rest of the season had been that good.
(And I *desperately* needed the effects to be better. We *know* Marvel can afford to produce better mo-cap than this, so do it, damnit.)

The issue appears to be that Marvel is overworking the entire VFX industry with its expanding schedule and tight deadlines. They have the money to produce better, but not the manpower.
