Everything you need to know about ‘Ms. Marvel’s’ Muslim and Pakistani American heroine, with help from star Iman Vellani and head writer Bisha K. Ali., “Ms. Marvel” has had sluggish viewership numbers. As you mentioned, the show is about a teenage Pakistani American girl, and there are plenty of people — including among MCU fans — who have no interest in, or will outright reject, a series just on that fact alone.
As for how the show integrated themes of Muslim American life into the bigger story? “Ms. Marvel” somehow managed to compete with one of my favorite series, Hulu’s darkly funny sitcom “ compared with the men’s area, to their descriptions of the various cliques at the Islamic center , it was so spot-on and so damn funny. And they were never too precious, which was my fear going into the series.
