I would also argue that there were also too many changes to Miss marvel's story we all know. Guess I could live with that, as maybe most people could, and I am saying this mostly because Miss Marvel was never a core Marvel character. But still, it is good to see respect to the history of a established character thats been around for over 25 years. Same thing happened to the Skrulls, that now have been portrayed as sort of good guys when we have seen them as anthagonists to Human race ever since they were introduced in the Marvel Universe.

But the fact is the movie feels overall below Marvel high bar in terms of fun and story. Also, the heroe is too powerful. It is on a league of its own. Unless they come up with some sort of a kriptonite to balance the odds, in the way she is portrayed she could face all the characters in the MCU together with an arm tied to her back.

It makes you care for the main character, and makes you curious for the whole dystopian scenario, how it came about and so on.

It is shocking to see that in a few short years US as we know it became what it did, as the story suggests, so it makes keep you wanting to understand what happened that might have led to such scenario, and how acceptable the whole premisses are. And thats where the show started to let me down.

We all know that tyrannical theocracies have existed and still do in many Islamic societies. Sharia Law is the goal wherever there is Islam in significante numbers, so there will always be a growing risk of a tyranical, opressive rule against women and minorities as islam grows in a society. Is it unlikely that might happen in the west? It may someday come out to exist in the West, given certain circunstances. But it is a much weaker proposition to say a theocracy based in judeo christian values may take hold nowadays in western societies, as depicted in the show. So it all feels too unrealistic as the show progresses and you start to figure out the puzzle of how things turned out be that way.

Another dent in the plausability argument is that the US, the freest and wealthiest society in the world, seem to have fallen to this dystopic theocratic regime while you see refernces that other parts of the west, such as Canada an Europe, remains functioning as liberal democracies.

There is suspense and drama, I have seen 5 episodes and makes me care. But it is feeling more an more like a piece of SJW propaganda as it progresses.

Batman very good once again. WW too. Although I'd prefer to see the traditional versions of heroes, I liked the changed Aquaman, with a more powerful and with a badass looks and attitude. There was not much development of the character, but we all know him and he is goingo to have his own solo movie, so thats not a major problem. IMHO, Cyborg was not a choice that made sense for a JLA origin movie. He is originally a Teen Titans character. They managed to make some good sense for his being there, though. As for the Flash, he is just too differente from the character I grew up with as a DC fan. Too young and clumsy and clearly effeminate. Not that there's anything wrong with a gay character, just with the turning of Barry Allen into one.

So overall it was a fun experience. But not yet the DC movie that does justice to JL.
