The first season of Marvel’s new Disney+ series, Ms. Marvel, concluded with the show’s sixth episode being released on Wednesday and the season ended with high praise with the show receiving the highest score for any Marvel television show or movie ever with a certified fresh rating of 98% with 256 critic ratings, according to ComicBook.com. Black Panther originally had the highest rated project on the website with a score of 96%.
All six episodes of the first season received at least a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Episode one, titled “Generation Why,” was given 96% rating. Episode two, “Crushed,” received a 97% score. Episode three, “Destined,” was given a perfect score as did episode four, “Seeing Red.” Episode five, “Time And Again” was given a 92% score. The finale, “No Normal,” currently has a perfect score on the site but has not been given a critic consensus as of now.
The critic consensus for the first season of Ms. Marvel on the site reads: “Ms. Marvel is a genuinely fresh addition to the MCU – both stylistically and substantively – with Iman Vellani ably powering proceedings with her super-sized charisma.” The show also was given an 81% audience score with 6,670 user ratings.
Vellani, who is in her first credited role as an actress on the show starring as Kamala Khan, also known as Ms. Marvel, talked about her feelings regarding people who were critical of Ms. Marvel earlier this month in an interview with NME.
“I know they’re there. It’s something we knew was going to happen going into this. It happened when the comic books came out in 2014. I’m all for constructive criticism as long as people have a legitimate concern or suggestion or something real. Then I care. But all the hatred I’ve seen has no basis, no merit, it’s just purely for the sake of hating – and that’s fine. You’re not gonna impress everyone. We hit our target audience and we hit an entirely new audience that didn’t know they were gonna fall in love with this character – people who have never seen themselves represented in a positive light before,” Vellani told the outlet.
The first full season of Ms. Marvel is now streaming on Disney+.
