Marvels wasn’t bad. The first few minutes made me wince, but stick with it. What impressed me was how much comic lore they stuffed in.
The body swapping Nega Bands idea of the Rick Jones era. The adaptation of the comics crossover Operation: Galactic Storm. The revelation of the Quantum Bands (which was handled in the surprising way the infinity stones were). I was impressed too that the bands’ “curse” of consuming everyone who wears them was there. The only people who survive are those who accept them instead of trying to harness them.
Even the quantum bands’ power of creating jump points is straight from the comics. Quasar would use them to jump to different points in space by entering and exiting the quantum zone; and during one of those “quantum jumps”, a massive surge of power sent him instead to a parallel reality (Quasar#30).

The Marvels wasn’t perfect, but this was the most MCU flavor movie I’ve seen since Endgame. No Way Home was great, but it was really just a nostalgia gimmick and not a deep dive into comics lore. The Marvels is worth the watch - just suffer through those first few minutes
The only thing that really bothered me about The Marvels was that we may not get Quasar now (one of my favorite characters); but even in the comics, there were two pair of quantum bands in the universe
