‘The Marvels’ is a Enjoyable and Satisfying Movie and Twitter (or X) Appears to Agree
Despite the cesspool of angry and sensitive (male) critics, the Twitter reactions to The Marvels have been pretty positive.
I have been disillusioned with the MCU as of late. Things have been lacklustre, especially after Secret Invasion. That was also after I noticed that their CGI, which evidently is a major part of these films, was getting worse, which seemed to be the result of overworking their artists and resulted in them unionising. As a fan, I was dismayed. My excitement for anything MCU-related began to subside. I even found myself just watching the second season of Loki after all the episodes had been released (it was a great season and definitely a great finale, don’t get me wrong).
That said, I wasn’t really too excited for The Marvels. While others—and when I say others, I mean manchildren who use the words “M-She-U”, “feminist”, and “woke” in the same breath—have been critical about the film even before it came out and until now, I just felt like the hype had waned for me. Box office predictions were low, and have sadly come to pass, and I wasn’t even sure if it was worth watching in theatres, though this was more the result of the MCU not looking too great recently rather than because of the film itself.
But I did end up buying a ticket anyway—and I’m glad I did. The Marvels proved to be a fun and entertaining ride that bears the heart and humour that MCU fans love. It is formulaic but still enjoyable, and the platform formerly known as Twitter seems to agree.

This film has been generating a lot of discussion on social media. There’s plenty of criticism directed at the film, but the brunt of it is just the same manchildren chanting “woke feminist propaganda”. There are some reviews who make valid criticisms against the film, but for the most part, many are saying that they enjoyed The Marvels, especially its flerkens and Iman Vellani’s performance.
Here are some choice Twitter aka X reactions from people who have watched The Marvels.

#TheMarvels is a cute, fun movie! It’s wonderful to see this kind of effortless representation for women, women of color, and Muslims in a Marvel feature. The action was good, but the movie soars in the character moments where you can tell these actors were having a blast on set. pic.twitter.com/92HZGZXehW

We had three women crying together and hugging on screen. Carol was running after cats. Monica and Kamala were dancing and mesmerized by Carol as a Princess on Adalana.
The VILLAIN even cried and got emotional.

#TheMarvels has a dumb plot, cardboard villain, and a frenetic pace allowing no character development.
Nevertheless, it was a fun movie that doesn’t deserve to be a bomb.
Going forward, though, Marvel is going to have to lift its story game to keep its Universe engaging.— Tony Fisk (@arfisk) November 15, 2023

We did like four movies of this with Peter Parker fawning over Tony Stark and every single thing he would do and say, but a teenage girl whose entire hero journey begins with the love for Captain Marvel and looking up to her doing it is too far. Man, shut up. #TheMarvels https://t.co/KYabm3oLEI
