Well Directed, Authentic Muslim Portrayal: Twitter Is All Praises About 'Ms Marvel'

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has entered phase four of the production of shows and films. The MCU has introduced to the world, the first-ever Muslim superhero, Kamala Khan aka Ms Marvel. The series Ms Marvel is based on 2014 Marvel comics and the character was created by Sana Amanat. The series features actor Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan and actors Saagar Sheikh, Aramis Knight, Zenobia Shroff, Rish Shah, Matt Lintz, Mohan Kapur, Fawad Khan and Farhan Akhtar.

The plot follows the story of Kamala, who comes from an immigrant family, residing in New Jersey. Khan is a great fan of superheroes, especially Captain Marvel. Unaware of her superpowers, the teen holes herself in her room writing fanfictions about superheroes.

One day when her powers activate, realisation dawns on her that she too has superpowers. She is astounded to learn that she has the ability to harness cosmic energy and elasticity. Once she is officially declared a superhero, she decides on being known as Ms Marvel, after her favourite superhero Captain Marvel.

Ms Marvel Twitter Review

A Twitter user wrote, “#MsMarvel is a pleasant surprise, it's vibrant, well-directed, the series has its own pronounced visual identity, at times it's super creative. Iman Vellani stands out easily in this very meta role. The Muslim representation is authentic (having Muslim writers help a lot).”

The user further added, “rest of the cast is delightful, the series offers sincere family moments (many will recognise themselves in these) Bruno and Nakia are also well treated, particularly the latter who is in his own way a hero too. Let's hope the show continues to rise for the last four episodes.”

“I finished watching #MsMarvel and I'm thrilled with absolutely everything! I'm crying with every word and the essence passed on to this series. Iman is wonderful, much more than I imagined. Kamala Khan has arrived in the world,” another user noted.

Meanwhile, Shang Chi actor Simu Liu also heaped praises on the young actor. “I'm so unbelievably proud of this young woman. Welcome to the MCU #MsMarvel! People are going to be watching you for a long, long time,” he wrote.
