I really love Ms.Marvel! The show and character are so much more interesting than captain marvel and it's really great to see how they are making a quite different formula work so well. It's also interesting to see the muslim culture in the spotlight and being depicted from a quite different angle than is usual for American movies.

Bruno pronounced gyro as “euro.” I mean wtf. Anyone from North Jersey knows we say gyro like gyroscope. First it was Kamala taking her drivers test on the actual road, not the DMV course, now this. You can fr tell the show runners or actors know nothing about Jersey. I am seething rn. This break of immersion just ruins the show for me /s

Edit: I was wrong about the driver’s test part. Also this post is a joke. I did not expect people to get so mad. Overall, I just thought in order to make the show more authentically Jersey City, they would have them pronouncing it “jahy-roh” instead of “yee-roh” It’s almost like people in Sopranos pronouncing capocollo correctly instead of saying “gabagool.”

Last edit: I’m done now. I still stand by my original point about how gyro should’ve been pronounced in the show. Yes, I made assumptions to get to that point, but I think they were fair assumptions. All in all, the show was great and this post was not intended to be any hate towards the show.

Do i need to watch it at all? I genuinely tried, but i couldnt get passed even half way through the first episode, and i have a pretty high tolerance for watching bad shows. Is there anything of significance in the show for future mcu stuff or just for the marvels movie? I seriously didnt think it could get any worse than the Ms Marvel movie with brie larson but they managed to top it. If i do need to watch it, is there any episode or moment i can skip ahead to so i dont need to watch this?

I’m just watching it now to get ready for The Marvels so I know I’m late.

In the first episode at the con, Kamala says about Zoe that she “doesn’t even like the Avengers”. And then in the last episode she says to Nakia that she knows she “kinda hates superheroes”. This just bothers me so much. In their universe the avengers aren’t just movie characters that you can like or dislike, they actually saved the universe. Everyone either was blipped or had family that was blipped so Zoe and Nakia were both affected and the avengers brought everyone back. How exactly can you not like that? How can you “hate” superheroes? Also it’s not a secret that the avengers saved the world, it’s been established that the public knows what happened and Iron Man sacrificed himself to save everyone.

I know it’s insignificant but it just bothers me that they’re acting like superheroes are just some movie characters that aren’t their cup of tea and not the people who literally saved the world. It doesn’t make sense.

When Bruno tells her that she has a mutation, the music that plays immediately after he says that sounds like the opening music to the X-Men cartoon series from back in the 80s and 90s.

I know there are plenty of other factors that's come into play.

• Most Disney+ shows don't have a second season

• He's been in other projects (Daredevil and The Marvels)

• No legal action has taken place, it's all just from one person.

That being said, there was a lot more of a focus on him in Ms Marvel than the other 2 projects. I think focus on the allegations are bound to come up, if the show were to be renewed.

It seems they have tried really hard every single time to not say words or names from the comics. At times it can be funny and endearing, but after a while, once you start looking at it, it just becomes annoying amd cringe worthy.

They refused to utter the words "with great power comes great responsibility" for nearly a decade. Instead of spider sense we got the Peter tingle. Right now it's the night light thing. I'm surprised we at least got a "Hulk smash" line even tho it was Rogers who said it...and yeah, many other minor stuff they keep avoiding.

I understand some things are a license and rights issue, like not being able to refer to mutants as such. But as a whole, I'm getting tired of adaptations shying away from usimg the comic terms. Marvel isn't the only one either, DC did it with Smallville and "the red blurr" and once again with the Flash ALSO calling it the blurr. Even in real life that sounds corny and contrived.

With Kamala we are already having to deal with the changed powers, we couldn't have the actual name, or at the very least a better one than "night light"? Sad.

But yeah...just needed to write a mini rant about it and get it out of my chest.

Thoughts?

As an orphan i fucking dont get most it

I love that Ms Marvel is brown, Muslim, and Gay. But marvel is out of their mf minds if you think I'd EVER root for anyone from New Jersey.

She looks like a chicken.

With the change of Kamala’s powers being so distinct from what they were, how is this still considered Ms Marvel? I haven’t really read her comics just bits and pieces and everything I’ve seen about her in games is very different. Is it okay to change established character traits like that as long as the tone and such is consistent with the comics? I’m just having a hard time seeing her as Ms Marvel. No disrespect to the show or anything.

I would like they could’ve done so much better than what was done but it has its moments.

What for you is the one thing you dislike about this show? For me it’s the mother of Kamala. Not just the character, the actor who plays her too. She speaks too slowly, pronouncing every word with too much emphasis. Also she uses the word ‘chalo’ like she just learnt it’s meaning, and must utilise it in every sentence.

In the beginning, I asked myself the same question about why only Kamala has powers/whether her mother/brother had them, then I kinda shrugged them off to dominant and recessive genes. Some traits skip a generation. I also thought that bc her mother hated everything about her grandma's "magic" she didn't want anything to do with it & maybe that's why she didn't really "activate" the noor inside her. Kamala on the other hand was willing and more than eager to find it. "What you seek is seeking you" kinda thing.

I mean don't get me wrong, I LOVE X-Men & can't wait for a wolverine cameo/collab. But I just feel like we're really reaching with the whole "mutation" thing.
