MsMarvel offers a more grounded origin story that feels far more relatable and real than anything Marvel has done lately. Our (spoiler!) review:
With Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe now in full swing, the most significant trends surrounding this current era of storytelling seems to be magic, multiverses, and the fallout from the Blip — the in-universe disaster where half of all living beings disappeared for five years. But with Ms. Marvel, the newest superhero series on Disney+, Marvel is taking a step back into the more grounded, with an origin story that feels far more relatable and real than anything they've done lately.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY While the tongue-in-cheek recap might feel repetitive for longtime Marvel viewers, it is instrumental in setting up the kind of person Kamala is. Like so many of us who derive enjoyment from larger-than-life stories and the characters that inhabit them, Kamala is a fangirl at heart. That fact becomes especially important throughout the episode, whose driving tension seems pulled right out of a teen sitcom: sneak out and get to AvengerCon without the parents finding out.
Kamala Khan holds the distinction of being the MCU's first Muslim superhero, and the Khans are all practicing Muslims. An interesting choice made in the first episode shows the varying degrees to which each family member practices their faith. Kamala's brother Aamir practices more openly than his parents Yusuf and Muneeba , but he isn't defined fully by how religious he is, also taking the time to try and be a sympathetic older brother to Kamala.
