'As a person who grew up in a Muslim househould, I felt seen for the first time in Disney+’s groundbreaking series. More than that, 'Ms. Marvel' is a thrilling, visual delight,' tauriqmoosa writes
showrunner and head writer, Bisha K. Ali, is a British-Pakistani writer who also worked on Disney+’s. Ali has done a remarkable job of capturing the dorkiness, wholesomeness, and authenticity of the comics. Performer Iman Vellani, a Pakistani-Canadian, has brought Khan to life, managing to straddle that careful line between quirky and irritating.
I almost had to pause it due to laughing when Khan’s mother forces food on her white friend, having already packed the food before he could answer. And she comments on the heat. My own mother would do the same.I experienced all of this and it was unnerving—then welcome—to see this interspersed with Khan’s adventures. I do not think I’ve ever felt so represented in such a natural way before.
Muslim culture is front and center, too, in terms of wedding preparations, Eid celebrations, and mosque irritations. Incredibly, Ali also tackles the colorism I have seen in my brown community. Kamala’s best friend, Nakia , discusses Nakia herself being “too white for some people and too ethnic for others.”
There are clever environmental setups and pay-offs reminiscent of Edgar Wright at his best. For example, at the beginning of the first episode, Khan’s friend makes a gadget for Khan’s father that turns off all the lights. Towards the end of the episode, while she is trying to come up with a cunning plan, her father turns off all the lights by accident. Cut to a close up of Khan, as the one light above her turns on, as the plan comes together.
