Forget the normal Marvel fanfare; Ms. Marvel’s doing things differently. Instead of the usual introductory 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Studios orchestral piece, The Weeknd’s ‘Blinded By The Lights’ blasts out over the montage of MCU heroes. Then, we head into a stop-motion recreation of Endgame’s Battl▨e of Earth, made from colorful sketches – the workꦬ of Kamala Khan, who idolizes the Avengers, with a special focus on Captain Marvel. Khan’s a dreamer, fantasizing about flying away from her home and saving the world, just like her hero.

We’ve known for a whil🐷e that Ms. Marvel would be different. Directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, previously best known for Bad Boys For Life, promised a show inspired by Tom Holland’s incarnation of Spider-Man, and the duo did not exaggerate. The premiere has more than a few shades of Homecoming, yet the episode forges a voice of its own thanks to Iman Vellani’s Kamala. Marvel Studios has a knack for casting brilliant leads, and Vellani feels instantly comfortable as the anxious teenager, the actor plays into the character’s dorky traits without becoming a caricature.

Vellani’s only part of Ms. Marvel’s vivid tapestry. Showrunner Bisha K. Ali leans into Kamala’s heritage𒁏, using the specificity of her story to tell a universal tale of growing pains, young love, and dealing with controlling parents. After all, how many real-world teenagers growing up today will idolize the Avengers? Judging by Spider-Man: No Way Home’s box-office numbers, the answer’s millions upon millions. And how many teens suffer from parents who don’t understand their passions? Millions upon millions more. That Ms. Marvel showcases a Muslim family, using appropriate language, makes this all the more brilliant, offering a slice of life rarely seen on such a blockbuster scale. 

The premiere sets the story in motion with a candy-colored kick. Kamala’s desperate to go to AvengersCon, yet her controlling mother won൩’t allow it. Working with her best friend, Bruno Carrelli, a nerdy tech-type, she manages to break free and h🍌ead to the event, leading to a whole heap of Easter eggs and references to the wider MCU. Unlike Moon Knight, which stayed away from anything connecting the show to other properties, minus a name-drop here or there, Ms. Marvel fully embraces its place inside the cinematic universe – and frankly, it’s about time a show like this did. 

Ms. Marvel is a𝔍 spectacular pay-off for everyone who is fully invested in this world. Yet, it’s also welcoming those wh✨o aren’t fully caught up. Anyone with a passing knowledge of the Avengers could jump on board and be swept into Kamala’s story, though they may be wondering why everyone’s obsessed with America’s Ass.
