Its just so tiring seeing people already declaring the marvels as a "flop" just cause it had the lowest opening weekend
Not only is it tiring (there is misogyny and racism behind the resulting in it being a "flop," no doubt) it's unfortunately true if we're talking money. Although the audience clearly likes the film -- as seen in the screenshot below which I took this morning, at Nov. 13, 2023 -- currently the film's box office earnings are lower than even The Incredible Hulk with Edward Norton (2008) which earned $55.4 million.
The audience loves this film, but Disney/MCU are still basing their success off of the monetary gain off of a scale that seems to be (as I assume) from pre-covid and pre-streaming boom times.
This is why going out and spending money to see good movies is important. The language that companies speak is monetary; they don't care about feelings. If something didn't do well at the box office it's considered a failure no matter how good it actually is. For example, look at one of Disney's now-beloved films Atlantis: The Lost Empire.
And, for all those who hark about equality and diversity and #BLM, they should have been at the front of this in promotion and money. But alas, even on the internet Loki is trending more than The Marvels
Forgotten Addition: as of today (November 13, 2023) The Marvels has earned $47 million domestically in the box office since opening day

Have you seen "Marvels" yet? I never finished the Ms. Marvel series because I just couldn't get into it, even though I loved her character. I just hope they worked out the bugs in the show (which I considered to be pacing and other dumb things like that)
I have seen The Marvels and, in my opinion as a letdown Marvel fan, it's one of the better films in their franchise. I'd even put it in the top few bests. It's genuinely funny, adorable, and a fun watch. There was no lagging, any gaping plot holes, and watching the three women grow and bond onscreen so purely was a bonus!
I haven't watched all of Ms. Marvel and was able to follow the film just fine. The only thing I would suggest is watching it with a friend so you both can enjoy it
However, I do have my own opinions about the ending, but I won't share them until some time later when it won't be a spoiler any longer

“Happy Birthday” to the coolest swear word actor, our beloved Samuel(Leroy)Jackson. On Thursday, 21st December he will be 75 years and I represented in this tweet that he always had many memories in the movies I’ve watched on the screen.
LETS GET HIM A BIG GIFT!
