Moon Girl e Devil Dinosaur

There's so much to appreciate- It doesn't take itself too seriously but is still watchable by adults/teens Lunella is adorable and has a great dynamic with Casey Lunella's family is supportive, loving, and in general breaks every overdone edgy trope She also roller skates which isn't really a pro for everyone but it definitely is for me!

It handles hard to execute properly themes well Casey is great and I love that her femininity is never demonized The art style is really fun and distinct The beyonder is camp in all the best ways.

Good songs!

Overall it's just really fun and fluffy and has quickly become a comfort show

The only real cons are- The whole weekly lesson format, It's not horrible but it definitely breaks immersion sometimes.

Some villains fall flat and are unremarkable, again this isn't horrible for me because what I love the most is the main/ secondary cast but it would understandably be a deal breaker for some.

A thoughtful and vibrant depiction of the smartest super-genius in the Marvel universe and her world in the LES. From the title track, to the overall colors/aesthetics, to capturing the essence of her relationships with family and friends, and dealing with the relatable problems that most kids do face - Moon Girl is the kind of show I would've loved to see growing up. It's literally the first show where I've seen the creators ensure their characters pronounce every diverse name correctly- which may not seem like a big deal, but it is.

The soundtrack completely takes this show to another level. I recently downloaded the album from Spotify, and I can't wait to see how they use these tracks and incorporate them in the show.

It's a balanced mix of culture, vibrancy, music, and lightheartedness. Can't wait for the rest of the episodes!

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur are ready to fight crime in the new animated series: Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur! Based on the comic book of the same name, this show highlights the world of S. T. E. M. to young children and inspires learning more about it. Fans of the original comic book and other Marvel fans will love the new series as well.

Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur follows 13-year-old super-genius Lunella Lafayette (Diamond White), who one day-while helping bring power back to her town-accidentally makes a time portal and spawns a ten-ton red T-Rex, Devil Dinosaur (Fred Tatasciore), into present-day New York City. The duo works together on missions to protect the city's Lower East Side from danger.

I love how well the series connects to the actual comic book featuring the main characters Lunella and Devil Dinosaur. From the animation, the costumes, to the gadgets, everything relates to the original comic story. My favorite part of the series is when Lunella is fighting multiple villains in the episode. During that time she is constantly asked what her hero name is and she never is able to give an answer. That scene adds humor to the show and gives a bit of backstory on the title. It's incredible how Marvel is now incorporating a kids' animated series to the MCU. It's a great addition! The characters are extremely relatable in this series. Great detail is given to character development and design, even down to Lunella's goggles. I love the way different shapes appear in them based on what she's saying or on her emotions. This show is highly creative.

This series highlights the importance of friendship, acceptance, being yourself and using your strengths to do something great. In the series, even though the Devil Dinosaur randomly shows up and is a different species, Lunella is able to bond and become friends with it. She also gets teased because she is extremely intelligent. When she accepts her gifts and becomes Moon Girl, she is then able to be herself and use her tech-savvy talents to help save her community.

I give this series 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for kids ages 5-12, plus adults. You can watch the premiere of Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur on Disney Channel on February 10, 2023, and on Disney+ starting February 15, 2023. By Tiana S., KIDS FIRST!

A very well made show overflowing with style even though it may be lacking slightly in character development and substance it more than makes up for that with eye popping animation reminiscent of into the spider verse, and overall well written characters. Not everything needs to be insanely complex to be enjoyable this show knows exactly what is a fun action packed romp with interesting characters and a heartfelt story, with messages about family friendship and teamwork while not being overly preachy like a lot of kids shows fall habbit to. I recommend it wholeheartedly and have no doubt the second season will build of the great stuff set up this season, I for one can't wait.

Moon Girl is stylish, inspirational, and a delight to watch. The titular character has a supportive family (which she is also very supportive of!), a keen intellect, and a tendency to get into and sometimes cause trouble. Devil the dinosaur, her partner in fighting crime, is adorable and has a puppy-like vibe, giving his name irony.

I've seen most of the first six episodes, and it's presented as a "lesson of the day" format, but without a great deal of preachiness (again, irony with the title here). The lessons flow well into the plot and are even incorporated into the battles. Battles against villains (or would-be villains come friends) includes stylish music, including some show-stoppers by popular artists that tie in well to the theme of the episode. The art pops like crazy in these scenes, and people are gonna compare it to Into the Spider-Verse. Yeah, it's lit like that.

That said, while I love the style, format, and lessons of the show, I think it struggles to stay grounded (pun intended). It has already somewhat run into the trap of "protagonist learns lessons and forgets them when the plot calls for it", and I expect the trend will continue. Having great standalone episodes is great, but we've already seen Disney shows that can have both great standalone episodes and overall consistency with Phineas and Ferb and Milo Murphy's Law. These shows grew funnier over time, with an immense amount of layered humor, several interweaving plots, and beloved characters.

Like the titular character, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur has a ton of potential and has lots of style, but could really use a more cohesive direction.
