Ms Marvel
Things I liked
Iman Vellani is a great Kamala Khan. I like that she’s a regular girl in her first role, not some glammed up it-girl actress. She’s normal, and it comes across on the screen.
The positive depiction of Muslim and Pakistani culture. There’s nothing about it that feels other, and I love that. It reinforces how people around the world are the same, no matter how different they may appear. There’s nothing to be afraid of.
The writers somehow managed to fit in a history lesson about Partition into the middle of a Marvel tv show. Most impressive and appreciated; it’s a piece of history of which I knew almost nothing.
The emphasis on family. Kamala’s main support structure feels so real. Her parents, brother, and relatives are all perfectly cast, and bring to life both how frustrating and necessary a loving family can be.
Her mother made her costume! Her father came up with her superhero name! So many feels.
Nakia’s awesome.
All the graffiti-style animations. So creative and cute.
Things I didn’t like
The special effects were surprisingly lackluster for an MCU show. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely noticeable.
Lame villains with the Clandestine. And what an anti-climactic ending for them.
I’m definitely looking forward to more Kamala Khan in The Marvels. Can’t wait to see her interact with her idol.
