so i'm sure countless other people have said this before, but i'll say it again.
as a desi, muslim girl who grew up being a huge marvel fan, ms marvel is incredibly important to me.
i remember reading the comics around 2020 and 2021, and when the news that it was becoming a show came out, i vividly remember screaming and jumping up and down BECAUSE HOLY SHIT
yeah, the comics are pretty different compared to the show and they got the whole "djinn" concept completely wrong, but yknow
the representation means everything to me.
i remember when i was like, 7, i was watching Iron Man with my mom. The terrorists in the movie speak fluent urdu, just like me.
So obviously, little me was pretty confused. I remember asking, "Mama, why do the bad guys talk like us?" and she simply avoided the question.
It was years after when I understood islamophobia.
now, i'm sitting in my living room and the superhero on tv isn't a skinny blonde blue-eyed white girl.
she's like me.
she says salam, she watches bollywood movies, and she wears a shalwar kameez. her mom doesn't like the idea of her going to parties. she goes to the mosque to pray. she makes wudhu in those crusty mosque bathrooms with taps that barely work.
she believed that it wasn't the brown girls of jersey city that saved the world.
just like countless other brown girls all across the world.
yes, the show may have some... flaws - but the representation was, for once, done somewhat correctly. i'm happy beyond words, and thrilled for younger generations of muslim and desi kids to grow up with a superhero who's like them.
thank you gwendolyn wilson, and everyone who worked on the comics; writers, artists, publishers, everyone. you made a dream reality, and now you have a show.
on behalf of young muslim brown girls everywhere, thank you.

Bruno: Hey, there's a mutation in your genes so severe that even I, a genius high school student yet still very much a high school student, can tell that it's drastically different from anyone related to you.
Kamala: Psh. It's just another label 🙄

I just watched the first episode of Ms Marvel.
I really liked Bruno, so let's talk about him:
He is a tec guy. He builds cool things in his room. Not only that, but in Kamala's ideal plan fantasy, he is dressed up as Tony Stark. Either he reminds Kamala of Tony OR he likes Tony. Maybe both?
What I have noticed as well is that the majority of people always refer to as "the Hulk" and all the merchandise and branding is about Hulk. But not Bruce Banner.
Guess who dressed up as Bruce Banner?
BRUNO DID!
He had a lab coat, a button-up shirt and pens in the front pocket. Like, not even Kamala recognized who he should represent. She asked him, “What are you wearing?” “It's Bruce Banner”
He sees the man who brought good to the world with his minds, not just his alter who uses his strength. Bruno also looked up a gifted program, so that could be an explanation for why he admires the scientist

I just finished ms. marvel the show for the first time. so short answer is: wowwww but long answer is: it has some positives and negatives.
Let’s start with negatives.
Changing Kamala’s powers. I know kamala isn’t as popular as some long time heroes but embegging is her whole gimmick! It’s like if someone took Peter Parker and gave him the powers of a snail and was called snail-man. And her powers are so cool too. I was so excited to see CGI stretching and polymorphic powers, you can do the hands part via literally iPhone camera, how could the whole marvel budget didn’t cut it?? No we got to have… light, for some reason. I’m just scared that other adaptation are going to do the same like in some new comics or games or something, I really, really hope not
Misrepresentation. This one is debatable, because as Muslim, the bar we have for American shows to represent us isn’t even on the floor, it’s lower, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that they didn’t 100% mess it up. But still there are so many minor technicalities, that might seem minor for someone outside of the religion/culture but for those are part of it, it’s a really big deal. Like some scenes, doing wudu with nail polish on, posting in the masjid, a dad telling his son to stop praying, so many words used in the wrong context, the whole djinn concept just shows that there was no Muslim opinion taken into consideration during filming.
the so many love interests. Like, 3, seriously, one wasn’t enough?? There shouldn’t even be one, but I digress. And just all the scenes involving the romantic subtext of each one literally made my blood boil. Literally this whole point could summarised to just the boys, they were so unnecessary.
And now let’s get to the positives, because despite the points made previously, I really enjoyed this show.
The representation. As I said before, it’s perfect, but it’s not bad. Then again, the only thing we share is us being Muslim. I’m Arab where kamala is Pakistani and these things heavily affect how people practice Islam, and also I live in a Muslim, Arab country where almost everyone is Muslim where kamala live the US, a place where she’s a minority. So of course there will be differences between our experiences. But I love how many arabic phrases were spoken during the show, the Eid scene, the masjid scene, the whole wedding episode. It was all so good and nice and representative.
My favourite thing about the show honestly is how artistic and stylised it is. They weren’t very consistent with it, but it was still good. All the different fonts and styles for the ms marvel intro was so amazing, I want to screenshot every frame. The credits are so well done too. When they want to show how daydreamy kamala is and there’s doodles around and different pieces of media incorporated in that. It was all so creative. The intro captain america scene was one of my top 5, to be honest
I love the costume design, especially kamala’s. They were all so modest, obviously. But they also showed Kamala’s personality, through her drawing and patches and just the colours and everything. They were so many stars and bolts, It’s just so similar to how I dress.
The progression of her relationship with her mom. I genuinely think that there’s no greater or stronger or closer bond between two people in this whole wide world than between a mother and her eldest daughter, and this show is only one of the many many examples of that. And it’s so relatable and realistic, like her mom being overprotective and hovering because that’s the result of generational trauma and how her mom was too distant, and she was just doing her best and just wants the best for her daughter and Kamala is such a sweet girl. So many of their scene together made my heart melt.
Centralising not just family, but the matriarchs in the family was such a smart move. because mothers truly are the ones who make families and heritage and everything is always tied back to them. Something something the souls of mothers residing in their daughters. The whole partition train episode had me bawling my eyes out.
The rest is just some things I love about kamala generally in every adaptation/timeline/universe
I just really love how unapologetically nerdy and dorky kamala is. She’s such a fangirl, she loves comics and superheros (usually women) and of course captain marvel. And she engages in that, she draws and make projects and her whole room is decorated in what interests like her. I just really love people like that, both fictional and in real life. (I may be projecting but I feel like it’s giving adhd, like it’s giving hyperfixation.)
Showing the brown girl experience of idolising older white women and wishing that we could do everything they do, but still believing that we can’t because of a variety of reasons but then overcoming that and doing the things you wanna do your way anyway
Just how good kamala is. She’s so polite but still speaks her mind respectfully. She helps people all the time even when she doesn’t have to. she’s always so nice and sympathetic to everyone. And even though she can become a giant, that is her greatest strength because people always want to repay her goodness and they always want to help her back. And it’s just so heartwarming.

tbh tbh I'm not at all surprised that Kamala's great-grandfather told Sana that Aisha was a djinn. Woman showed up in a field of flowers, had a kid with him, gave that kid a glowing bangle, then disappeared forever. Literally the most djinn shit imaginable.

Alright, there is no need to slander Bruno because of shipping. He is a perfectly nice character and his worth is not related to whether he ends up with Kamala or not.
I don’t want them together, but if it happens, it happens.

Going back to my post suggesting that Oscar Isaac and Mena Massoud should play father and son, I've been thinking...
Iman Vellani as the little sister
Tumblr media
Mena Massoud as the oldest sibling
Tumblr media
And finally.... Oscar Isaac as their dad
Tumblr media
It doesn't have to be for the live action Aladdin sequel (though the idea of Aladdin having a sibling this whole time sounds like an interesting plot point, he'd be an amazing older brother). I just think this family dynamic looks adorable.
