Summary
Reviewers say 'Ms. Marvel' is celebrated for its diverse representation and engaging storytelling, with Iman Vellani's performance earning high praise. The series is lauded for its creative visuals and fresh superhero narrative. However, it receives criticism for pacing issues, a juvenile tone, and deviations from comic origins.

Kudos to Marvel that they're bold enough to make movie about Muslim - Indian - Pakistanis culture but the execution could be better. The culture parts were really interested and there's nothing about their culture that I don't like. Love they even present that girls have choice to wear Hijab or not and even gave a dog pet in Muslim's family but there are too less explanation, I guess some people would love to know why they could have a dog in family, why they could or could not wear hijab, the festival and food and what forbidden or allowed.
I love that there's a story that was told from their perspective, but the plot about coming age and the relationship between characters were executed badly. They have materials to make it intense but they chose to do young audience movie.

I actually watched this series after seeing The Marvels. I decided to binge all the Avengers series in order because I keep reading all sorts of negativity about how Disney wants to insert DEI into movies going forward and the online boy nerds on YouTube freaking out about "gasp!" females and people of colour being promoted. Personally I think Disney CEO is heavy handed and grooming which will lose what little audiences left. It's called entertainment, Bob!
That being said I really enjoyed this series! The cast did a great job! Lots of talent there! I find that the way life flows with its highs and lows very realistic and it makes you want to root for the characters and keep watching. Family home life interaction was good. The depiction of a vibrant religious Muslim life was a pleasant change from the negativity portrayed (I'm Christian myself) and loved the wedding! The depiction of Partition - a terrible mistake with tragic results - was powerfully portrayed! The graphics and colours was wonderful particularly the moving graffiti. A nice touch!
I'm really glad to have watched this series. When I watched the movie Ms Marvel first I told someone that it felt like a bunch of tv episodes stitched together and now I see why. The movie felt like something was being forced to be female entertainment written by males. That planet of singing, dancing aliens was uncomfortable to watch where the wedding in the series was more lively and fun and realistic!
I recommend you watch the series for some fun, some education, and some eye candy! It's well done and you will find yourself caring about the characters. Thats a hallmark of the Marvel world isn't it? Seeing the characters as people dealing.with life they never expected to have to and not always winning. Ignore all these social media fan-nerds boys whining and make your own mind up!

But so what? With the amount of content we get from Marvel who cares if we get something squarely aimed at kids? I thought it was fresh and fun - and WAY more enjoyable than Moon Knight. It's sad that a bunch of man-babies have to resort to review bombing because "Disney bad"
I'm gonna cut straight to the point this is overall solid show. The reason why most people don't like it is because it's not a white character and that's it. The overall show was fun you enjoy the parents they feel natural. The main character feels like an actual teenager, especially when I was going to school in the 90s. He is just in the clouds. Action scenes aren't bad but like I said, it's a show that involves a kid just learning to use her powers. You really get to learn the backstory of the characters, the culture and a little bit of history as well, which can never hurt. The characters stays true to the source.
Even though I thought Ms. Marvel is the 2nd worst of all the Marvel shows, only She-Hulk was. Worse. I still think it's worth watching. It's actually gotten great reviews and currently holds a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes. The cast is mostly made up of unknown actors and actresses, led by Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan. This is actually her first acting job ever and she does a pretty good job. She did such a good job that her next job is in the next Marvel blockbuster, The Marvels. I thought this show was only targeted for teens but I was wrong. While it is definitely aimed more for teens and children, that doesn't mean adults won't enjoy it. It's a fun show with plenty of heart.
