It’s almost time to say goodbye to 2022. It’s been an exceptionally great year for superhero lovers, releasing one project after another for fans of the genre. DCU and MCU, two opposing superhero universes, have left fans ecstatic with each of their outings. From MCU Ms. Marvel to DCUs The Batman, each of the universes introduced new actors to play some of the most beloved superheroes.
As the year draws to a close, it’s now easy to compare the performance of each of the projects, whether it’s a TV series or a movie. Much to the surprise of fans, Marvel Studios Mrs Marvel, starring Iman Vellani tops the list with a whopping 98% Rotten Tomatoes score. Amazon Prime Videos The boys’ season three sits alongside the MCU show On The Throne. However, Ms. Marvel at the top of the chart is receiving mixed reactions from fans.

The Rotten Tomatoes have spoken! Disney+ Series Ms. Marvel is the highest rated superhero project of the year with a solid 98%, closely followed by DCU Peacemaker at 94%. While the star of Iman Vellani could have been so well received by critics, the average audience score stops at 80%. Fans received the ranking in quite a bittersweet way, however.
While some believe Ms. Marvel was worth the 98% score, others can’t believe it ranks above other projects including The Batman. Fans were surprised to see the show receive a rating equal to that of The boys’ season three, which was well received by everyone. However, there are always two sides to a coin, aren’t there? Some fans have talked about how Ms. Marvel is quite worthy of such a high score, calling it a huge win.

Overall, whether or not fans like the show, whether they think a 98% was deserved or not, critics certainly seem to be thinking positively. Ms. Marvel sitting at the top of the chart, alongside favorite show (probably one with no haters), The boys is definitely a big win for Vellani and the whole team.

What fans liked Ms. Marvel
While the technical aspects of the show may be debatable, the story of Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, portrays one thing in an exceptional way: inclusivity. Since the genre has been mostly male-dominated and white-centric, Ms. Marvel was quite the opposite. The show has played its part in diversifying the MCU, along with other projects including, Shang-Chi, Captain Marvel, and Black Panther.
Ms. Marvel showed Kamala’s heritage, culture, language and religion without minimizing it. This undoubtedly made fans feel more welcome, as many saw themselves in the young superhero. Fans have said that while they weren’t very into the superhero parts of the show, it was Kamala and her community that made them watch it and fall in love with the film.
Kamala fans are now excited to see where her destiny takes her and her life’s next adventure, perhaps with more groovy South Asian songs! Vellani is set to reprise her role in the upcoming film, Wonders, with Brie Larson and Teyonah Parris which will be released on July 28, 2023.
Ms. Marvel is available to stream on Disney+.
