Check out our podcast review of Ms. Marvel.

 

Below is our working script outline we used while recording the show:

Ms. Marvel Review: In Defense of Kamala Khan

 

Intro-Wow, what an ending to this latest 6-episode Marvel D+ show

Format-General impressions first, spoiler details last

 

Good Show:  Good character development, good plot (mostly), connections to the larger MCU (check), wholesome (family values), good look at South Asian-American culture.

 

Diversity in MCU

Good representation

Deep dive into Muslim immigrant life in U.S.

Teacher get name wrong, Kamran gets Bruno name wrong-hah

Interesting and surprisingly deep look at the Partition of India, which is directly related to the story of Kamala’s family

 

Powers: At first disappointed in change, but it now fits in well with the MCU as a whole

Bangle: connected to the Kree? Ten Rings (Shang-Chi)? Good questions

Shout out to NewRockstars-good Marvel review YouTube show

Not all character details need to match MCU with the comics

Comment on that issue

 

Villains:  ClanDestine-not that great as villains… consistent Marvel problem

 

Spoilers:

WOW!

Two late scenes: Big reveal (about time)

After-credits scene: Total surprise

 

Thanks to Aditya Rameshan (@AdityaRameshan for pointing out a good article on how Imann Velani reacted to the big reveal at the end, and to New Rockstars for their detailed and entertaining review of Ms. Marvel Ep. 6
