I don't mean this in a bad way, but #themarvels seemed too small for the big screen. At times it seemed rushed. Would have been better with six episodes on Disney+. I enjoyed most of it, but the writing suffered in many parts. Good ending, nice extra scene. Vellani is wonderful.
I've also had this question asked: Do I need to see the previous Captain Marvel? Ms Marvel? Yes. You do. Or don't. If you do, then the relationships and emotional parts hit better. If you don't, it will seem a little vacant. It's a problem with all of MCU now. Too much backstory.
But if you are a completist, and simple enjoy MCU movies for being Marvel, then you'll at least enjoy The Marvels for the part it plays in a much larger story.
