“Ms. Marvel” is a breath of fresh superhero air.
Perhaps that’s in part because it feels so different from “Moonknight,” Marvel Studios’ previous Marvel Cinematic Universe series for Disney+. After a promising start, the bold, mind-bending adventure drowned in a sea of convoluted storytelling.
Or maybe it’s more that “Ms. Marvel” is a comic book adventure mostly for, well, younger folks. Oh, there is much for adult viewers to enjoy in the six-episode first season — the first two installments were made available for review — but this is a story of a teen girl with common teen-girl problems: school, parents, boys, etc.
