‘The Marvels’: Superhero movies sink to a new level

The blockbuster ‘The Marvels’ directed by Nia DaCosta is a sad experience in the Marvel cinematic universe (MCU) series.

Anyone who considered Eternals and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania to be low-key MCU films will probably be even more disappointed when joining The Marvels ‘ journey.  

Once again, audiences find an MCU movie filled with technological babble in a plot that’s not interesting to follow.

The Marvels adds many characters that are either okay or okay, such as a group of cats that scream at feeding time. MCU’s latest movie cost up to 270 million USD but will surely make the audience, once again, bored: “How much longer will this easily abandoned Marvels cinematic universe last?” when Marvel keeps releasing a superhero movie that is “monotone” like that.Current Time0:00/Duration0:00HDAuto

Of course, to enjoy The Marvels , audiences need to watch at least the previous Disney+ series Ms. Marvel , WandaVision and the 2019 blockbuster Captain Marvel to know who the characters are.

Captain Marvel ( Brie Larson ), also known as Carol Danvers, a very strong girl, Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), also known as Ms. Marvel, a hyperactive young superhero living in Jersey City (USA ) and Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) appear as children in Captain Marvel , gaining their powers as adults in WandaVision .

This trio must destroy the villain Dar-Benn (Zawe Ashton). The Kree (Captain Marvel’s adopted race) are in the midst of a 30-year war with the Skrulls (who wear green Halloween masks) and a peace treaty that Nick Fury (Samuel L.Jackson) attempts Negotiations were cancelled.

Then, Kree leader Dar-Benn got mad because he thought Captain Marvel destroyed the planet Hala by extinguishing the sun.

Accompanied by very silly action scenes, especially for a cat and then a group of cats appearing as saviors in Kamala’s family.

Released more than 4 years after the first part, The Marvels has a duration of 105 minutes, making it Marvel’s shortest film.

The film  does not focus on the trio of female superheroes, but on the villain Dar-Benn, the vengeful Kree leader, seeking revenge on Captain Marvel. This character is not designed to be evil enough or sinister enough to create the audience’s feeling that fighting against Dar-Benn is a matter of life and death.

Reaction to The Marvels was also strongly polarized. Some people claimed the movie was fun while others called it “miserable,” “stupid” and “a new low point” for Marvel.

According to USA Today : ” The Marvels is the rare superhero adventure that seems tailor-made for cat lovers who actually enjoy tons of shenanigans from body-swapping to bouncy songs and dances.” flush”.

And The Telegraph commented: “The superhero movie sinks to a new level. The Marvels is the shortest of the MCU films but it is the most dragging, a groaning nightmare with sloppy effects.” Visual effects have long been a trademark of the series”.
