Iman is the best thing to happen to Marvel in a long time.

[@BirdNerdFilms]

Agreed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SpiderManMCUniverse]

Well said

[@TeamDaemon1980]

Was Endgame a really long time ago?

can't have it any other way. I feel lucky enough to be able to work doing something i love so work rarely feels like "work", you know?

[@MrGenexxx]

Ted Bundy had the same approach

[@user-kk5sr8jd4b]

Hes not wrong. This is less of an interview and more just 2 fans nerding out.

[@ser_ryon_vine6392]

I'm sure it's great since the last one was. They have a report now.

[@Singraft]

With Iman, Florence and Hailie the MCU has some killer talent. The comedic timing across those ladies is next level. Young Avengers will be a blast

[@extrashotofespresso_]

Agree! Dominique who plays iron heart was also a great comedic relief in Wakanda forever.

[@Guerreropowerr]

if Kevin ever steps away from Marvel, have Iman take over please lol

[@StillOnTrack]

YES!

[@KAK_PAN]

At this point Kevin Fiege just like He Who Remains. Because for some reason, Kevin pave the road for Iman take over when he decide to retired.

@@KAK_PANthat’s way too scary to think about LMFAOOOAOAA. Bcz it’s Disney too.

[@godking6504]

Lol but in all seriousness Kevin is driving it into the mud anyways having a council of commuted fans operating different parts would benefit

[@BadBrucey]

I wish she'd take over now.

[@SplitSniper7]

Seeing Iman get to geek out like this is pure joy and i wish this interview lasted forever 😂

[@AUSdhdLibrarian]

I honestly wish we could see more content like this in general. Contextually we expect all the Insider gossip and rumours/leaks, but here we get something we almost never see anywhere else. Two people on opposite sides of the interview having a genuinely fun, engaging and goofy time being fans and creators together

[@nachoman408]

The movie wasn't bad. It wasn't awesome, but it was also not as horrible as people say. I did have a good time, and Iman is the best part of it

[@bartell20j]

The movie was fun.

[@srfnsurfer]

I thought the singing planet was hilarious. The kids and I enjoyed it a lot.

[@trevorkenny]

Agreed

[@mychaeljones7526]

It wasnt mid; it was Enjoyable. Meaning a solid B+.

[@kanade_alter]

Exactly. I enjoyed it very much but people seems hating it for some reasons. I agree it’s not perfect and the villain is not memorable but it’s still fun.

[@matthemming9105]

Eric's interviews with Iman Velani are the height of joy and fun. Please keep these going! ❤

[@mikestanshillporter4425]

I appreciate this so much, I needed the positivity. The negativity of the fandom has literally gave me heartburn. I understand I’m in the minority of my love for all things MCU, and yes there’s 60 year old fans out there like me. Both of you, keep up the good work.

[@donkeyteethbites]

At some point you gotta just realize there’s a segment of people who live only to shit on everything. Nothing is good enough for them and they make up things to be mad at and are offended that people don’t share their opinions on everything. Marvels was a blast and no amount of incel whining will convince me I didn’t enjoy the movie 😆. We might go see it again this weekend. The difference between actual fans and these mouth breathers is we don’t blow our stack when people don’t like movies we do.

[@moons-nim]

Good for you sir. You sounds like a fun and cool dad/grandpa. There are only few fun dad/grandpa.

[@tlouiseallen9302]

I’m in my sixties also and I love the MCU.

[@themuscularchicken372]

Only reason I went to The Marvels was to support Iman and it actually wasn't that bad. I wouldn't say it was a masterpiece but it was really fun and much better than I expected

[@bonbongandalf4920]

So true. People were shitting on it so much as if it was on the same tier as morbius/dark phoenix Was a fun marvel film

[@joeblankenship377]

It felt rushed. I enjoyed the movie, but it felt like they cut a 2 hour movie down to 90 minutes. Needed more room to breathe.

[@Mcboyanimations]

@@joeblankenship377i definitely have that same gripe with the movie. but it’s not a deal breaker in my opinion, with what we were given it definitely wasn’t that bad

[@colereed7411]

This is the reasonable people on KZbin. They actually exist 😅

[@alftuvik3820]

I really enjoyed it, I can understand some criticism toward the story and the villain but overall it was a fun movie and the three main characters really did a great job and their chemistry was perfect. It was a good movie, it had flaws and could have been better, but it was good.

[@9thgen66]

Iman, you made the Marvels such a better movie! Your performance was top notch! I enjoyed the movie a lot.

Kamala Khan and Khan Family were the highlights of the whole The Marvels movie. Flerkens were highlights too.

Wow. When I started watching this I wasn't in the mood for an interview, but while scrolling down trying to find something else to watch, something about the shared fun energy between the 2 of you really grabbed me and I wound up watching the whole video. It was a great interview, with great questions and great answers, great nerding-out moments, great everything. Made my day, actually 🧑🏻‍💼🕺🏻👏🏻🙏🏻

[@archaelia]

That's really sweet, and I'm happy to hear the effect it had on you, but why would you click onto an interview if you weren't in the mood for one?

[@DragonZord979]

"I still refuse to watch Dark Phoenix." I respect the hell out of that. It's definitely a movie I wish was never a thing

[@MrAWESOME24777]

[@JeremyMadeArt]

I like that they are leaning into the idea that the movie is "fun", because it really is. Iman brings a lot of that fun, so thanks for bringing us this interview!

[@Treaclebasket]

Iman Vellani is awesome! Here in the UK there have been some pretty mixed reactions to the movie (which I really enjoyed, by the way), but Iman's performance has been universally praised. I thought all the leads were terrific to be honest, and what I loved about it is that you genuinely cared about the characters and the way they related to one another. I appreciate that the studios need these movies to make tonnes of money, but at the centre of this story is a lot of heart, which the movies need going forward, and which Ms. Vellani/Ms. Marvel has in spades.

[@machines1020]

Absolutely loved this interview and the energy Iman brings to the MCU.

[@MarcVibbert]

She must be protected all costs. In Iman we trust!

[@DanielSala86]

Iman Vellani is the heart of The Marvel, and the whole MCU right now. So much joy coming from here that it is hard not to enjoy this interview. This is probably one of the best episodes in this channel... which is a hard thing to do because everything is always great and genuine.

That part where she's accepting of negative comments about her ideas for a comic, and still maintains her enthusiasm, shows she's gonna be a great star. She's definitely a gem.

"Milk it until we're like 30" 31 years old and I am not sure how to take that but you make me excited for the newest roster, I think you and Florence Pugh would be fun to watch on screen together

[@mandipandi303]

I loved this interview. I didn't have bonding-over-Great-British-Bake-Off on my BINGO card for it! I soooo agree with Iman that I hope they adapt some of the aspects of Champions into the MCU's Young Avengers. Especially since it looks like we're not getting Teddy in the Young Avengers. Hulking and Wiccan's relationship is such an essential pillar to the team, and Young Avengers is going to be all the poorer without it. Granted, Disney would probably find a way to diminish them being a couple or straight-wash them. Hulkling and Billy forever!

[@ItsTheLedge]

I think we all really needed this. I love you two together and could listen to you guys nerd out for hours on end! Thank you so much for this one 🙏

20:00 In the beginning of the film, where Dar-Benn found the Quantum Band, I noticed that the structure containing it had a head shaped around the top of it. That might canonize MB-418 as Eon's grave, if that head is meant to be him.
