If it's "okay" it's better than Captain Marvel, a movie I thought was very lackluster. Brie Larson isn't the issue, she isn't given much to do. It's not that she isn't likeable, she isn't really anything in the role.
I actually kind of liked at least the first half of Ms. Marvel the Disney+ show and the lead character in that show has much more personality. I felt like Ms. Marvel tried to cover way too much ground in one season though. Furthermore the show skirted around Pakistani/Indian tensions and religious extremism in kind of disingenuous ways.
Disney always tries to play it safe it seems and a lot of people criticize their virtue signaling. Disney tries to appeal to literally everyone including foreign markets and in the process alienates people more than it draws people in. There is of course nothing wrong with female or minority superheroes, it's intact completely welcome on my end but please make it interesting at least. Kamala Khan is a more interesting protagonist than Carol Danvers because she has stuff going on in her inner world that is interesting.
