Ms. Marvel Is The Least Watched MCU Disney+ Show | Screen Rant

Ms. Marvel is reportedly the least-watched MCU series on Disney+. Based on the popular comic book character of the same name, Ms. Marvel sees Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) as a normal teenage girl from New Jersey who discovers she has superpowers. The series premiered on June 8, 2022, and was met with positive reviews by critics and seemed to set the stage for the next big MCU hero before she makes the leap to the big screen in The Marvels next summer.

According to Samba TV, approximately 775,000 US households watched the premiere of Ms. Marvel within its first five days on Disney+. This is notably down from previous MCU series, with Loki being the highest, generating 2.5 million views, WandaVision with 1.6 million, and both The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Moon Knight were watched by 1.8 million viewers in their first five days. It is worth noting that while it is the lowest debut for an MCU series, Ms. Marvel was a big hit with Gen Z viewers as audience members 20 to 24 watched it at a higher rate than other MCU series. The show also drew a more diverse audience than the previous series with an increase in Black, Hispanic and Asian viewers.

While Ms. Marvel's numbers do appear low, the fact that it is being watched more by younger viewers may suggest that older audience members are either waiting to watch or just are not interested. So while Marvel may have lost some viewers they have also gained new ones to make up for it. Many of the other MCU series also had the added benefit of being based on previously established heroes audiences were familiar with. Another thing worth noting is Ms. Marvel also premieres new episodes on the same night as Obi-Wan Kenobi, which had a record-breaking premiere, so that may draw attention away from Ms. Marvel. With word of mouth on Ms. Marvel growing more positive it may lead to an increase in viewers over the coming weeks.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms,  Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of  iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill  films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The  Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
