From the word go there’s a visual vibrancy pouring from every frame of this. It has a similar Spider-Verse flare applied to a 2D plane, and it’s a feast for the eyes. It captures the simple, passionate fun of comics and is overwhelming with heart and creativity. Done sequences could be music videos all by themselves, they’re so dazzling. This episode establishes this show as one to watch.
What's this? A Marvel cartoon series that is actually GOOD? A Marvel cartoon that's actually pretty damn awesome? What bizarro universe did I just fall into?
I went into this completely blind and came out very surprised and very satisfied. I LOVE the style of everything. I love the attitude of everything. It's like they bugged the Williams Street offices for writing prompts and then hired artists who really liked playing Jet Set Radio as kids. The absolute best part of the animation is how much emotion and information is conveyed by the way Moon Girl's goggles change their shape and flash various symbols - comic book symbology which extends into the world itself that helps the audience keep pace with the raw speed at which the show moves. And the way the episodes are formatted feels like these were originally conceived as bumpers or after credit bonuses for another series. The first episode is made up of several shorts that complete an entire arc for the origin of Moon Girl as a local hero.
This is a WEIRD show, even compared to other Disney Marvel series. But that weirdness is its strength, this show knows what it is and it isn't sorry about it. I'm definitely going to keep watching this. And I really hope this signals an end to the Marvel Animation curse.
(Oh, look. Alfre Woodard found her way back into the MCU... again!)
Enjoyable, but not my favourite style of animation. I’m glad it wasn’t CGI, but the pop up stuff is a bit overdone. Interesting first villain, seems a bit similar in appearance and power set as to someone from Superman the Animated Series.

As someone who lives in New Jersey, I appreciated the New Jersey jokes.
The animation is top tier, appealing, and keeps you engaged. I love the real life narratives, that are super important to be taught to the next generation.
Perfect show for the kids, and parents. Something for everyone generally makes the best animated shows.
Also; shout-out to Alison Brie. Didn't even recognize her voice!
