‘Ms Marvel’ emerges as the highest-rated MCU show or film

When the show started, it was hit by a wave of one-star reviews and dismissed as ‘cringe’

Despite many reservations from the audience and critics alike, Disney Plus’ ‘Ms Marvel’ has already passed with flying colours. The Iman Vellani-starrer show is the highest-rated MCU show or film to date, with an impressive 98 percent rating on ‘Rotten Tomatoes’, surpassing the likes of ‘Black Panther’ (96 percent), ‘Avengers: Endgame’ and ‘Iron Man’ (both at 96 percent).

When the show started, it was hit by a wave of one-star reviews and dismissed as ‘cringe’. However, the show recovered and went from being the lowest-rated MCU series to the top of the list. Show’s co-creator Sana Amanat told NBC about how ‘Ms Marvel’ found favour with the audience,

“I think it comes from a place of anger and a sense that their identities are being threatened. If they can’t connect with it, then that’s okay. I just wish they wouldn’t try to put it down.”

She said the show is now giving South Asian teenagers a sense of connectedness.

“It’s amazing to see how they’re internalising that imagery. I just hope it gives them a sense of competency that, frankly, I didn’t have growing up and a sense of connectedness inside of their culture and who they are because I think that’s incredibly important,” she said.

In a recent interview, Indian actor Mohan Kapur, who plays Kamala Khan’s father Yusuf Khan in the show, said that he has been enjoying his ride as the ‘Marvel’ series character and is overwhelmed with fans’ love that he has been receiving.
