Ms. Marvel

Regardless, Ms. Marvel is absolutely as good as it is thanks to the seemingly effortless, fully grounded, and unabashedly fun lead performance by Iman Vellani.

Some of it will likely prove too silly for Marvel hardcore fans and, judging from early Rotten Tomatoes audience reactions to a series that has yet to premiere, the knives are out for poor Ms. Marvel. But I challenge audiences to watch the entire series before weighing in on it. Here’s hoping audiences will embrace the series for what it aspires to be. To think that such an infectiously joyous presence as Iman Vellani is likely to face the recent racist attacks experienced by Moses Ingram feels incredibly depressing. So far, what we know is that Kamala Khan (Vellani) is an Avengers-obsessed teenage girl whose life goals consist of attending Avengerscon in the perfect Captain Marvel cosplay. Those hybrid Marvel projects tend to be on Disney+ where the stakes are slightly lower. The most successful Marvel Cinematic Universe television series, in my opinion, are the ones that strive to break free from the formula.

'Ms. Marvel' is a charming and enjoyable Disney+ show partially rooted in how cool and righteously hip it is to worship Disney IP.

That’s not the fault of any specific show or movie, but it does discolor what otherwise qualifies as entirely positive and long overdue MCU representation. The show works as far as a charming teen coming-of-age comedy. It is as much a triumph of empathetic demographic representations as you’d expect from a company that has explicitly used diversity and inclusivity as a major selling point for the next batch of cinematic superheroes and to differentiate the next slew of movies and shows from the first 22 movies mostly starring white men often named Chris. The notion of a fan-specific convention for pop culture characters makes sense, but in the actual MCU, these characters aren’t comic book superheroes but government-sanctioned soldiers and vigilantes. But what truly sets the show apart is how it centers on a teen girl who rebels by stanning Marvel superheroes. What makes the show, created by Bisha K. Ali, most interesting is not how it offers up the first Muslim MCU superhero or that it offers a slice-of-life portrait of a colorful and entirely sympathetic Pakistani family.

Ms. Marvel takes place in Jersey City, New Jersey, and follows sixteen-year-old Avenger super-fan, Kamala Khan, as she gets her own set of superpowers, all ...

Even though Kamala Khan is still a new Marvel character, Disney's list shows that the character can stand on her own in a solo story and crossover for a team-up project. Beginning in 2021, Disney and Marvel Studios has introduced a number of new headline heroes on the big screen in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Eternals, and even Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. In 2022, the MCU has continued the trend on Disney+; and for the second time ever, a brand-new hero is getting her own series with Ms. Marvel. Spider-Man's "School of Hard Knocks" episode offers a glimpse of what it may be like for Spidey and Kamala to work together. In fact, players start as Kamala as she's pursued by Advanced Idea Mechanics (AIM). However, two items from this list that fans can watch stand out among the rest. If Ms. Marvel lives up to the hype and critical reactions, no doubt MCU fans will be seeing her continue this trend in the future and even beyond The Marvels. In addition to Ms. Marvel's Amanat having produced this series, Secret Warriors features two other young characters who already exist in the MCU, Patriot and America Chavez. Fan speculation has been high for a Young Avengers-style MCU project, and now with Ms. Marvel joining the franchise, a story like fans have seen in Secret Warriors seems all the more likely. Since the two are some of the youngest heroes within the MCU, it's definitely a live-action possibility somewhere down the line; and given Ms. Marvel's Spider-Man tie-ins, it may be something Marvel Studios already has in the works? 2) Ms. Marvel (2015-2019) 1) Ms. Marvel (2014-2015) Ms. Marvel actually makes an appearance in the animated Disney+ series Spider-Man in the episode titled "School of Hard Knocks." Starring Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan, Ms. Marvel is a six-episode series that is expected to lead into Brie Larson's Captain Marvel sequel, The Marvels. And, now, on the eve of Ms. Marvel's Episode 1 premiere, Disney has released a primer on all things Kamala Khan.

Additionally, the show looks visually intriguing, with Kamala's fantasies depicted on-screen in a creative manner. When she gets superpowers of her own, learning how to master them just as well as the heroes she looks up to will be a challenge. The Marvel series premieres in Australia on Wednesday, 8 June. Episodes will come out weekly. She doesn't feel like she fits in anywhere. Discovering what she brings to the table should be an absolute hoot. The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) keeps expanding with fresh faces ready to win over fans' hearts.

Ms Marvel cast members Matt Lintz (Bruno), Rish Shah (Kamran) and Yasmeen Fletcher (Nakia) tell us what to expect from their Disney+ show.

“I’m going to say the wedding,” Fletcher said. “So I’m really excited for people to sit down with their families and watch the show. “But I think that the characters translate really well and their personalities, their core and their identity are all still very similar to how they were in the comics.” “So all those little Easter eggs around all the sets are just so fun to discover.” It may be a superhero show, but the characters deal with everyday teenage problems, like school assignments and getting permission from their parents to attend things like Avenger Con. “Like one day Tom Holland came to set and just wanted to see what’s up and he was, you know, happy that this was happening.

Excited? Find out when every episode drops on Disney Plus with the Ms. Marvel release schedule. Instead, the first episode keeps the heart of the comic book while exploring how this beloved character fits into the MCU landscape in a visually arresting and fun manner." "When combined with Ali’s breezy pilot script and Adil El Arbi, Bilall Fallah and Meera Menon’s fluid directing, the seamless integration of these visuals makes it especially easy to understand Kamala from the outside in. It’s rare that either of the big studios putting out comic book movies manage to get their ducks lined up just so, but all of that time, care, and attention shows in Disney Plus’ Ms. Marvel." Read on below for a beat-by-beat overview of Ms. Marvel’s first reviews, with spoilers kept to a minimum. Far from being wheeled off the conveyor belt, however, Marvel’s first Muslim superhero (played by Iman Vellani) leads a show packed with charm, color, and a surprising amount of heart.

Ms. Marvel's surprise mid-credits stinger has big implications for the new hero and her MCU future.

If Cleary is affiliated with Fury closely enough to know his current whereabouts, then perhaps the DODC took notes from Fury on how to recruit new heroes in his absence. Considering that’s the only experience that MCU audiences have with Agent Cleary so far, many fans are likely going to take his appearance in Ms. Marvel as a bad sign for the new high school hero. Fans can gather from the post-credits scene that Cleary and his team were already on the lookout for super-powered people, but it isn't clear why. With that in mind, all fans have seen Cleary do thus far is gather information the same way SHIELD does: efficiently and effectively with a dash of intimidation. Few fans were expecting Agent Cleary’s surprise appearance in the Ms. Marvel series, which has presented a handful of new MCU questions. Ms. Marvel's first episode has already given audiences some new MCU insight into how the Avengers are viewed by fans like Kamala Khan. Much like Spider-Man is portrayed in the MCU, Kamala spends her days marveling at the thought of becoming a young superhero.

Kamala Khan is already attracting some unwanted attention. Here's what Marvel fans should know about the surprising MCU cameo included in the post-credits ...

The Inverse Analysis — The Ms. Marvel premiere isn’t too interested in setting up any of the future threats that Kamala Khan will have to face throughout the show’s remaining five episodes. If there’s anything that Episode 1’s post-credits scene does make clear, it’s that Kamala Khan’s days of living as an anonymous no one are about to come to a quick end. That will make Cleary, Deever, and the rest of Damage Control anxious to track Kamala down and possibly cut her superhero transformation short. The first episode of Ms. Marvel takes its time getting to Kamala Khan’s (Iman Vellani) superhero transformation. The scene begins with a Damage Control agent named Sadie Deever (Alysia Reiner) watching a video of Kamala’s game-changing AvengerCon moment on her phone. The latter agent made his MCU debut last year in Spider-Man: No Way Home, which included a sequence where Peter Parker (Tom Holland) and his loved ones are all arrested by Cleary and other members of his organization.

Kamala Khan is your average teenage girl living in Jersey City, New Jersey. She loves video games, fanfiction, and frequenting her local convenience store ...

With the exception of MS. MARVEL AND WOLVERINE (hitting comic shops this August), all comics mentioned here can be read on digital comics super-service Marvel Unlimited! However, Kamala, as Ms. Marvel, chose in CHAMPIONS (2020) #1 to continue her hero work, regardless of her outlaw label and without consulting her teammates. Even though Kamala eventually returned and kicked reptilian (and amphibian) butt in issue #28, the Kamala Corps put up a good fight. In OUTLAWED (2020) #1, a battle broke out at Kamala’s high school, and it led to her being majorly injured. She is an inaugural member of the next-generation Champions and its leader. The Marvels eventually reconciled in MS. MARVEL (2015) #28. In her second volume, MS. MARVEL (2015), Kamala goes from being Captain Marvel’s number one fan to falling out with her over the subject of predictive justice. It’s at this party that Kamala is engulfed in Terrigen Mist (from the Terrigen Bomb released in 2013’s INFINITY #6 by Inhuman king Black Bolt), unlocking latent supernatural abilities. Well, she can alter her size and appearance, which includes not just transforming into a perfect copy of other people, but into inanimate objects as well. One night, she sneaks out of her room to attend a party. Kamala is also the polymorphic Ms. Marvel! She broke ground in 2014 by becoming the first Muslim Marvel hero (and Pakistani American) to headline a series. With almost ten years in the game, she knows a thing or two about being a hero.

Ms. Marvel is finally here, and our favorite fangirl Kamala Khan is ready to take the world by storm. That is, after she's done with her homework. Kamala is a ...

Still, Damage Control doesn’t seem like they’re going to be a fun part of Ms. Marvel’s life at any point throughout this series. The most obvious choices are The Inventor, Ms. Marvel’s first villain in the comics and a human-bird hybrid (it’s complicated), or Kamran, Kamala’s first crush who ends up having secret Inhuman abilities. Given what we know about the series so far, it seems unlikely that Damage Control will act as Ms. Marvel’s major foil throughout the series. As for who Ms. Marvel’s true villain will end up being, there are a lot of options! They’ve also partnered with Stark Industries in the past, working to collect powerful alien tech. Oh yeah, and that partnership with Stark Industries lost Adrian Toomes his job, meaning they’re basically responsible for the Vulture’s origin. His colleague Sadie Deever (Alysia Reiner) is making her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut here in Ms. Marvel, but we don’t expect she’ll be much more pleasant to deal with. Ms. Marvel is finally here, and our favorite fangirl Kamala Khan is ready to take the world by storm. Damage Control kicked things off as a subsidiary of S.H.I.E.L.D. (someone’s gotta clean up after those Avengers). After the Chitauri invaded, Damage Control shifted from S.H.I.E.L.D. to report under the executive branch of the United States government. Kamala also happens to be one of the few Marvel characters without any kind of arch nemesis, so there’s a chance that this is less of a sweeping series villain kind of scenario and we will see something a little bit closer to flavor of the week type baddies. Let’s talk about that Ms. Marvel mid-credits scene. Kamala is a normal teen girl with normal teen problems — she is loved but misunderstood by her family, she’s got her head in the clouds, and she’s expected to know what she wants to do with her whole life while she’s in junior year of high school.

Ms. Marvel episode 1 is a shot in the arm for the MCU: an irresistible sugar rush with good vibes to spare.

Though the series delivers a large helping of effortless charm from the entire cast, Vellani is the star of Ms. Marvel, and much of this episode’s success rests on the 19-year-old’s shoulders. As fellow Den of Geek editor Alec Bojalad quite succinctly put it, Ms. Marvel is “a fun superhero origin story for MCU fans, about MCU fans, and starring an MCU fan.” Kamala collects merch and yearns to attend the very first Avengers Con. She idolizes Captain Marvel and can’t get enough of Scott Lang’s tall tales. Watching this was like drinking the combined end credits sequences of Jon Watts’ Spider-Man trilogy and the spirit of Into the Spider-Verse in a big ol’ Slushie – just an irresistible sugar rush. For my money, this was the best Marvel Disney+ pilot of the lot. Then, the Disney+ arm of the MCU round-housed us with the ambitious-but-divisive Moon Knight earlier this year, and even some hardcore Marvel fans started wondering if Phase 4 was getting a bit messy. MCU Phase 4 has been a time of experimentation for Marvel Studios. After a slam dunk Phase 3 climax with Avengers: Endgame, there was a shift as Marvel seemed to understand that in a lot of ways they had to start from scratch by building new corners inside their established universe.

The Disney Plus superhero series boasts a representation of Islam we rarely see onscreen.

What that heritage is will no doubt be one of the central plot points this season, especially as it seems Muneeba is reluctant to discuss her mother or family in any great detail. “I can’t wear a shalwar kameez to AvengerCon, okay, and you can’t come with me, not dressed like that because it is so humiliating.” And then, silence, as we feel the weight of those sentences settle in. But school and Aamir’s wedding are all a distraction from Kamala’s goal of getting to AvengerCon. Despite her initial reluctance, Muneeba agrees to let Kamala go, on a couple of conditions. This scene—as the horror drifts over Kamala’s face at the realization of what she’s said, as her father tries to hide his hurt over his daughter’s rejection, as her mother expresses her disappointed in a quiet, controlled voice—is the most powerful in this episode, because it feels so true. The change in powers won’t make everyone happy, but I’m willing to hold out before I judge, especially as it’s clear that in the show Kamala’s powers are in some way linked to her family and heritage. It’s only by tying a scarf around the waist and donning her grandmother’s bracelet (stolen from the box in the attic) that Kamala can go on stage at AvengerCon, after she and Bruno sneak out of the house and make it there despite a series of small disasters. The only thing more cringy was Kamala’s guidance counselor Mr Wilson, although his proclamation that in Kamala he sees “a girl divided” is spot on. Islam is woven into the fabric of my life, not something that lives separately to me; it manifests in different ways at different moments; and it’s always there, like it is for the Khans. From the moment Kamala calls her mom ammi and rolls up a paratha for breakfast, it’s clear this show has thought about the little touches needed to present the Khans as authentically as possible. Could that be a cuff Kamala spots in a box her grandmother has sent over from Pakistan? Definitely, since Muneeba confiscates it right away and is acting very sus about the whole thing. This is a representation of Islam we rarely see onscreen: subtle but not hidden, and one that feels realistic to me. Or do you want to be some cosmic-head-in-the-clouds person?” Those words from Muneeba Khan (Zenobia Shroff), directed at her daughter Kamala (Iman Vellani), come at the close of the first episode of Ms. Marvel and tidily sum up the premise of the series: Who is it that Kamala Khan actually wants to be?

The MCU's latest offering is idiosyncratic superhero series Ms. Marvel, with Kamala Khan, the first Muslim character to headline a Marvel comic.

Star on Disney Plus, meanwhile, has seen the amount of content available through Disney Plus more than double, with a particular eye to more grown-up shows. The combined bundle costs just $13.99 per month (opens in new tab). So, what devices can you watch Disney Plus on? Fortunately, the powers that be have recognised this and will be giving Ms. Marvel a theatrical release to the world's fifth most populous country. As Disney Plus has now rolled out in North America, Europe and parts of Asia and Latin America, watching Ms. Marvel is easier than ever. Yes, you have to splash a wad of cash initially, but with so much content to get stuck into, we very much doubt you'll run out of things to watch before your year is up. Below we’ll explain how to watch Ms. Marvel online exclusively with Disney Plus. Make sure you've got the best-priced Disney Plus deal wherever you are. The first two episodes will arrive in Pakistan on June 16. While there's no longer a Disney Plus free trial to speak of, the Disney Plus price offers great value and is already cheaper than competing streaming services like Netflix. Yet you can get more bang for your buck when you sign up for an annual subscription and get 15% off the monthly price. That gives you access to all three services – ESPN+, Disney+ and Hulu – under one cut-price subscription. Creator and lead writer Bisha K. Ali has brought the world of Kamala Khan to vivid life.

And if you didn't watch the new Disney Plus show's credits all the way to the end (of the animated segment) then head back onto the streamer and get watching it now! Warning: spoilers for Ms. Marvel episode 1 ahead… Ms. Marvel's post-credits scene features ...

One thing seems certain going forward – as Khan comes to terms with her new abilities, she’ll be under a lot of scrutiny from the government body. The post-credits scene begins with a new character called Agent Sadie Deever (Alysia Reiner) watching the incident at AvengerCon on her phone. The Ms. Marvel episode 1 post-credits scene is not one to be missed.

Iman Vellani plays Kamala Khan in brand new streaming series Ms Marvel, which is set to follow a weekly release schedule like earlier Disney Plus shows.

Keep an eye on this one, and on Vellani in particular. So, is it really that good? Turns out it may be the best thing Disney Plus has produced in the MCU so far.

Then, we head into a stop-motion recreation of Endgame's Battle of Earth, made from colorful sketches – the work of Kamala Khan, who idolizes the Avengers, with ...

The premiere sets the story in motion with a candy-colored kick. One montage showing her escape plan to AvengersCon is fantastically done, while the text message exchange between her and Bruno is masterfully creative. That Ms. Marvel showcases a Muslim family, using appropriate language, makes this all the more brilliant, offering a slice of life rarely seen on such a blockbuster scale. Showrunner Bisha K. Ali leans into Kamala’s heritage, using the specificity of her story to tell a universal tale of growing pains, young love, and dealing with controlling parents. We’ve known for a while that Ms. Marvel would be different. Forget the normal Marvel fanfare; Ms. Marvel’s doing things differently.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe's Ms. Marvel show on Disney Plus makes some big changes to Kamala Khan's embiggening powers.

And it also still has the essence of how her fight choreography was in the comics too.” At this point in the series, the audience is learning just as much about Kamala’s powers as she is. In some ways, these new bangle powers are replicating the most iconic moves of a stretchy superhero, just without all the gross stretching flesh. “We want to make sure that we still retain the essence [of the character],” Amanat said, “but still evolve, and make it relevant to the stories that we’re telling in the MCU at that moment in time. This put her in the long-standing class of stretchy characters, whose bodies behave more like chewing gum than flesh and bones, but Kamala added her own style on top. In the first episode of her Disney Plus series, Kamala is just beginning to get in touch with her superpowers, but you might be wondering what they’ll look like when she masters them.

The superhero is Pakistani-American teenager Kamala Khan, Marvel's first Muslim headliner, whose solo comic book series made its debut in 2014. The miniseries ...

There’s a nice twist by the end of the second episode that promises a satisfying development of this element, but it is the domestic scenes and familial relationships that are the greatest strength of the opening instalments. The bangle allows her powers to be tied to Kamala’s Pakistani heritage and the trauma of Partition in particular. Eventually, and with the help of her best friend, Bruno, (Matt Lintz) – who is also, handily, a tech genius – Cinderella gets to the cosplay ball.

'Ms. Marvel' boldly cherry-picks what worked in the comics while remixing the character's lore to fit into and stand apart from the rest of the MCU.

Having her powers be unlocked by a family heirloom — one she adopts as a personal flourish for her costume, but one Muneeba is reluctant to discuss — makes the setup for Kamala’s tale of duality all the more potent. In the comics, Kamala’s abilities were owed to her being an “Inhuman,” an X-Men-esque group born from genetic experiments several millennia ago, allowing her to contort and expand her body (or “embiggen” it, as she says), like blowing up her fist to the size of a wrecking ball. Despite the hidden risks and her mother’s objections, imagination is Kamala’s shot at finally being someone, and in high school, few things are more important. When her school principal, Gabe Wilson (Jordan Firstman) — a fun homage to the comics’ co-creator, G. Willow Wilson — sits her down for a chat about her future and about how her attentions are divided, the unassuming two-shot splits in half, panning toward each character in opposite directions like something out of Godard’s Goodbye to Language. It’s a lofty comparison, and it’s likely unintentional, but there’s more thought being put into each frame and movement than your average Marvel production, without the need to shy away from the source material either. Her mother readily criticizes her height when she tries on an outfit for the baat pakki, and when her parents offer her an alternative to attending the convention alone — she can go, but only if accompanied by a hilariously enthusiastic Yusuf in full Hulk makeup — they present her with a green salwar kameez. When Kamala inadvertently endangers Zoe at AvengerCon, she reaches out and focuses on catching her falling classmate, resulting in an enormous, glowing, kaleidoscopic hand emanating from her body and hardening into tangible material. When she and Bruno text, their messages appear in the lights and environments around them as they move through space, like when Bruno makes his way to his shabby apartment above a cornerstone. Muneeba and Yusuf may have outdated rules (and hypocritical ones, since they offer Aamir a longer leash), but in the ongoing battle between first and immigrant generations, Kamala is hardly an innocent bystander. The upbeat melody of Ahmed Rushdi’s “ Ko Ko Korina” — the first Pakistani pop song — provides some wistful nostalgia as Kamala tries on traditional clothes for her brother’s baat pakki (engagement party). But as the episode progresses, she seems less willing (and able) to avail of these cultural comforts. When she and Bruno discuss alternate ideas for her costume while cycling through Jersey City, those ideas appear on the nearby walls as animated graffiti. It’s a small moment in the grand scheme of things, but it helps transpose a major element from the comics: Kamala’s bodily insecurity and the Western beauty standards to which she’s beholden. For high-school junior Kamala Khan (bubbly newcomer Iman Vellani), the struggle in the premiere is about being able to attend New Jersey’s first-ever AvengerCon with her best friend, Bruno (Matthew Lintz). This means navigating her strict parents, Muneeba (Zenobia Shroff) and Yusuf (Mohan Kapur), and her well-meaning, religious older brother, Aamir (Saagar Shaikh), but what initially seems like a typical South Asian American story — generational conflict born from wanting more capital-F Freedom from a conservative immigrant culture — introduces some intriguing complications, including Kamala’s superhero abilities and where they originate.

Ms. Marvel is probably the biggest Avengers fan in the entire multiverse. It stands to reason, then, that Kamala Khan's standalone series on Disney Plus would be home to several winks, nods, and Easter eggs from MCU history. From a convention centre's ...

Damage Control has been seen a few times in the MCU, most notably to clean up Peter Parker’s secret identity mess at the onset of Spider-Man: No Way Home. One of their most prominent agents, Agent Cleary, is seen in the Ms. Marvel post-credits scene. Kamala Khan has been brought to his attention – and it looks like she’s set to come in for questioning. Waiting around for more Ms. Marvel? Here's when episode 2 drops, courtesy of our Ms. Marvel release schedule. She even uses them in one scene to create a longer, stretchy arm for herself to save Zoe. Unfortunately for diehards, that’s probably as close as we’ll get to seeing Ms. Marvel’s traditional powers. There’s also editor Stephen Wacker and artists Adrian Alphona and Jamie McKelvie, who were also instrumental in the character’s debut. During the episode’s opening, Kamala reveals that Scott Lang – AKA Ant-Man – is hosting his own podcast series, titled Big Me Little Me. In a full-circle-sort-of-way, Carol Danvers was then called Ms. Marvel. The more you know. They just might embiggen your enjoyment of the premiere. Over at Kamala’s Coles Academic High School, several names are adorned in bronze on the building. There’s been some debate – rightly or wrongly – over the decision to remove Ms. Marvel’s stretchy ‘embiggen’ powers. One mural at the heart of the convention centre features a drawing of Black Widow and Iron Man with the message ‘Thank you for your sacrifice.’ It also appears to be a place for those who lost loved ones to leave notes, which is a nice touch. Chief among them is G. Willow Wilson, the writer of the relaunch of the Ms. Marvel comic – which first introduced the world to Kamala Khan back in 2016.

Disney+ has revealed when Ms. Marvel takes place within the Marvel Cinematic Universe Timeline.

- Hawkeye - Eternals - WandaVision - Ant-Man Leading up to Ms. Marvel's debut, there was speculation about when and where it might fall; and now, thanks to Disney+, fans have the answer. While Oscar Isaac's Moon Knight steered clear of MCU connections, Ms. Marvel has taken the opposite approach.

Going into Phase 4, fans have proven more critical than ever of the films and series that have come out of the MCU. This negativity has in part stemmed from ...

Ms. Marvel and Obi-Wan Kenobi's drastic review bombings appear to be for no reason in particular, which represents a significant change in how things have previously been. Some key reasons included the younger tone and modified origin, both of which could be considered somewhat reasonable, although many reviewers shared hate for the racial representation. It is a shame that Disney is distorting yet another franchise." Between Obi-Wan Kenobi, Moon Knight, Eternals, and The Suicide Squad, review bombing has become an increasingly widespread trend in recent years. "Disney is off the mark. Quite rubbish green screen and horrible concepts, but some features are quite neat if you were a 11-year-old."

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a thing for 14 years now. That means a bazillion characters, 28 movies, and now, seven TV series on Disney+—including ...

"The crew from that movie kept sneaking over to see [AvengersCon]. I think that might be fun to do sometime. Seeing the fictional fans visit fictional booths for fictional supeheroes, inside of a real TV series that has legions of real fans?! "It was very cathartic for all of us to see that and we were shooting Spider-Man: No Way Home on the stage right next door, the scene with the three Spideys," Ali said. And it also feels like the Marvel Cinematic Universe coyly taking a victory lap. By throwing this huge party—stuffed with winks and nudges to the MCU's 14-year history—it's like Feige is throwing his own birthday celebration. In Ms. Marvel, Kamala becomes an avatar for you, the viewer, someone who ideally loves the MCU as much as she does.

The post-credits scene in the first episode of the latest MCU series finds Ms. Marvel under investigation by authorities, just like New York's most famous ...

The post-credit scene gestures toward a further complication for Kamala if she learns, as her mother urges, to get her head out of the clouds and start living in the real world. Unlike its comic counterpart, the DODC seems to mistrust and even be hostile toward superheroes. While they don’t appear to have any connection to the Sokovia Accords described in Captain America: Civil War, DODC serves a similar function. This isn’t the first time that Agent Cleary has dealt with a superhero. For most viewers, the DODC remains a shadowy government organization, and their treatment of Peter and Kamala will likely do nothing to change that opinion. Teenagers are naturally reckless, even the most well-meaning among them.

Some users on the site have complained about the female teen protagonist and the change of powers for Ms. Marvel from the comics. Ms. Marvel has gotten some of the strongest reviews of any Marvel Disney+ TV series to date. You can see the unusual spread of scores below:

The sight of a Muslim woman on screen is too much to bear for this group of conservative Christians who think they're being canceled.

Ms. Marvel is currently under the lens of these groups and is facing severe review bombing, with 1-star reviews such as this coming in: This is an ideology that is very in line with the great replacement theory that inspired the Buffalo, New York shooter who murdered 10 people at a Tops supermarket on May 14th, 2022. White cishet Christian males have been viewed as the default in America for so long that when certain people see someone who is outside of that box getting representation, they attack them.

Ms. Marvel episode 1 is an absolute feast for MCU and Marvel Comics fans. And there's plenty for fans of both Kamala Khan and Carol Danvers to latch on to!

There’s even a girl on the bus and at Avenger Con dressed as one of the Captain America USO Show dancers. - A bunch of iconic Kamala and Carol art is superimposed as street art during the credits. - Carol wearing the flight jacket over her Captain Marvel suit is also visual reference from the comics. Carol Danvers has (begrudgingly) accepted the teasing nickname “Princess Sparklefists,” and it seems like Kamala would be similarly annoyed by a nickname that would be equally applicable. He was a half-man, half-bird incarnation of Thomas Edison (yes, the inventor of the lightbulb) who was kidnapping the kids of Jersey City, including Kamala’s classmates, until she put a stop to it. Her feathered hair was inspired by Farrah Fawcett. Right next to it is a poster of one of Mckelvie-designed Kelly Sue DeConnick-era Captain Marvel, with the helmet fauxhawk up in space. - Kamala’s telling corrects the record somewhat, giving Captain Marvel due credit for her real strength and blasting Thanos’ fleet (seen here made of recycled Circle Q cardboard boxes) out of the sky. As a canonical fangirl, there are more Easter eggs than usual in this first episode alone, with a special emphasis on Ms. Marvel’s connection to Captain Marvel. In a world where Marvel characters are on the news and there’s an Avengers fan convention for the irl heroes, there are so many references we probably won’t ever find them all, but we’re doing our best. And, of course, within that there are a ton of Marvel Comics and MCU Easter eggs, which we’ll get to throughout this piece. And there's plenty for fans of both Kamala Khan and Carol Danvers to latch on to!

The premiere for Ms. Marvel has given fans the biggest clue as to what's wrong with Captain Marvel.

By the end of Captain Marvel, not only does Carol Danvers declare war on the Kree Empire, but she volunteers to help Talos and the other Skrull survivors find a new home. Nevertheless, it'd certainly be an eye-opening moment for both Monica and Kamala to see Carol sequestering herself to a lonely life being the galaxy's one-woman Avengers team on speed-dial. Carol was riddled with guilt over helping the Kree Empire enact its reign of terror across the galaxy for five years. Tony Stark was never portrayed as an outright alcoholic in the MCU due to limitations set by Disney, which meant that the MCU had to replace Tony's drinking problem with PTSD and panic attacks. To this, Carol responds, "There are a lot of other planets in the universe. Something like that could happen to Carol Danvers by replacing her alcoholism with another struggle. The things that are happening on Earth, are happening everywhere, on thousands of planets." It's clear now that while Monica is a bitter cynic towards Carol, Kamala is an eternal optimist, but they both lack a nuanced perspective on the woman they deride and admire respectively. Bruce denies that he does and acts like this is typical behavior for Captain Marvel, telling Shang-Chi, "She does this a lot." She apologizes, saying, "I have to deal with this," and hastily leaves, telling Shang-Chi that Bruce has her number. An explanation for Carol's behavior will come in her sequel, The Marvels, but Ms. Marvel doesn't paint an entirely positive image of Carol Danvers, despite Kamala's denial. Fans learned in WandaVision that Monica Rambeau has a strained relationship with Carol Danvers, being actively dismissive of her.
