The embargo lifted for the first two episodes of Ms. Marvel earlier today (you can check out Josh's review here), and as more critics continue to weigh in with their verdicts, the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe-set Disney+ show has now received an initial Rotten Tomatoes score.
With 51 reviews counted (49 "Fresh"," 2 "Rotten"), the coming-of-age superhero adventure currently sits at a near-perfect 96%.
It's obviously worth noting that initial reactions to pretty much every Marvel Studios project (big or small screen) tend to be largely positive and this score will likely fluctuate as more reviews come in, but this is still a very impressive start.
"Ms. Marvel is a new, original series that introduces Kamala Khan, a Muslim American teenager growing up in Jersey City," reads the updated synopsis. "An avid gamer and a voracious fan-fiction scribe, Kamala is a Super Hero mega fan with an oversized imagination—particularly when it comes to Captain Marvel. Yet Kamala feels like she doesn’t fit in at school and sometimes even at home—that is, until she gets super powers like the heroes she’s always looked up to. Life gets better with super powers, right?"
Ms. Marvel also stars Aramis Knight, Saagar Shaikh, Rish Shah, Zenobia Shroff, Mohan Kapur, Matt Lintz, Yasmeen Fletcher, Laith Nakli, Azhar Usman, Travina Springer, and Nimra Bucha.
