Nov 8, 2023 · Reviews. The Marvels. Christy Lemire November 08, 2023. Tweet. Now streaming on: Powered by JustWatch. It brings me absolutely no joy to report that “The Marvels” is terrible, and the worst film yet in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “ Thor: The Dark World ” was merely a forgettable drag.

Comic books are art in hundreds of ways, but perhaps the most undervalued of those ways – particularly in superhero comics – is their ability to make you belly laugh while wildly tragic events are unfolding. Sure, there are sad comic books and serious comic books and somber comic books, and the same can be said for comic book films. But if you love that first kind I mentioned in the same way that I do, I suspect you are going to have a grand time with The Marvels.
Perhaps what’s most refreshing here is that where Captain Marvel – despite its merits – felt like a living, breathing ad for military recruitment (no, really, there were literal Air Force ads), The Marvels is the antithesis of that. In fact, the primary conflict is centered on Carol Danvers’ wartime mistakes and their fallout. Our villain, Dar-Benn (Zawe Ashton), is a survivor of the Kree civil war that followed Captain Marvel’s destruction of the Supreme Intelligence, the AI that ruled over Dar-Benn’s home planet of Hala. Hala is dying as a result, and Dar-Benn will stop at nothing to save it and her people.
While she’s certainly a sympathetic villain, Dar-Benn is unfortunately one of the weakest parts of The Marvels (through no fault of Ashton’s). Marvel struggled with undeveloped baddies in Phase 1, and it continues to struggle with underdeveloped baddies in Phase 5. She’s simply not given a whole lot to do beyond serving as the reason that Carol, Monica, and Kamala are together. Also, many of the Kree lackeys look pretty cool thanks to makeup and costume designs, but her right hand man is just some dude with a manbun (Ty-Rone, played by Daniel Ings). It’s strange!

Echo
The Marvels is a triumph. Its depth can be seen not just through its characters, but through its story as it explores war's complicated fallout; the difficulty of being a human when you are perceived as a monolith; and the hilarious and complicated virtues of family. Both funny and heartfelt, Nia DaCosta’s MCU debut will have you asking when she an...
