[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 331606, member: 23"] Oh phew. I must confess I've been looking forward to this one but wondered if it hadn't turned out so well. Same here. I'm hoping that works in the series' favour for me. There's no risk of it disappointing based on changes from the comics (just as well, since from the little I've read about the series, it seems the character's powers are different). Other than viewing some panels online, I haven't read anything with the new Ms. Marvel in, but there's something about the character that I find appealing. I suppose it's that everyday teen with powers thing that Kitty Pryde or Peter Parker had in their early days, which was a significant part of what drew me in as a reader when I was their age. I watched the trailer and was very disappointed. Jen's a great character when done correctly, and that didn't seem to be the case here. And you can probably imagine Mark Ruffalo's presence did little to stoke my excitement. Yes. I'll be signing out of my D+ subscription without any regrets, I think. I'm glad to have experienced it, but I really feel as though I've seen the best the MCU has to offer and there's not anything upcoming that makes me feel I'll be missing out. For a time there, the continuity was a rewarding and satisfying part of the viewing experience. It's a shame that Disney really seem to be resting on their laurels with it.
