Season 1, Episode 1
8/10
Among the strongest beginnings of a Disney+ Marvel series.

Warning: Spoilers
The episode (and the series) works as a introduction to Kamala's character, how she feels about her future being uncertain with the pressure of what she must do againts what she wants. Finding that balance, i think, will be key for her character, also mending her relationship with her parents (specifically her mother), it's left to see if during the series, her idealize vision of a superhero life is challenge and she learns that being a hero is much more than just having powers and be accepted.

Now, on the technical aspect, cinematography, editing and visuals are amazing! The one shots and the creative use of the visuals, i had to stop the episode every few minutes to take a look and the visuals are so cool, like when Kamala and Bruno are riding bikes while talking about different versions of Captain Marvel or texting and the signs show their replies, those were of my favorite scenes.

Both combine to tell a wholesome story about a girl that tries to find where she fits in the world, although a bit too fast pace and the humor won't be for everyone, also you must be up to endgame to enjoy all the references, it's a solid piece of media.

Just one word of advice, manage your expectations and know what to expect from this series, this isn't Moon Knight or Falcon and The Winter Soldier or Hawkeye, where those are also action series. This is more of a family drama and coming of age story, action isn't the priority of the series.
