There’s plenty to praise here
but also just enough to twitch a
few fingers in preparation for a
Hulk Smash.Ms. Marvel (45 minutes) premieres
Wednesday on Disney Plus. New
episodes air weekly.we look a lot younger than we
are.” Vellani’s confident delivery
can’t salvage a joke that smug
(and unfunny). The rest of the
series feels like a prod to revisit
the other offerings on Disney
Plus, like the animated “Mulan,”
which is quoted here, or the
Avengers movies, which get their
own (admittedly very cute) pa-bystander to Marvel’s reign over
pop culture made cranky by its
burgeoning insularity.
The day after Kamala discov-
ers she has powers, she tells
Bruno at school, “I tried to shrink
and fly and talk to ants.” Asked
why she thought she’d have Ant-
Man’s powers, she responds, “Be-
cause we’re both charming, andcolonial rule, Pakistan broke
away from India to form its own
country in 1947.
Kamala’s fandom of Captain
Marvel and the other superhe-
roes is an integral part of her
origin story — her character arc
suggests a transformation from
an admirer to an active partici-
pant. And yet I can’t be the onlycurriculum focuses on Rome
than Persia. Nakia then runs for a
prominent position at the
mosque to challenge its over-
whelmingly male leadership.
There’s also a passing refer-
ence to the government’s surveil-
lance of Muslim houses of wor-
ship — social commentary that
becomes a plot point when Ka-
mala attempts one of her first
rescues with inchoate powers she
can’t rely on yet, then has to run
away from agents who racially
profile her.
Despite these more serious
themes, “Ms. Marvel” is a candy-
coated visual delight, Kamala’s
powers glowing in blues, pinks
and purples and crystallizing into
gemlike structures she can step
on to climb into the sky. And
because she is a fantasy-prone
doodler, her bike rides with Bru-
no are full of her brightly colored
artistic musings plastered as mu-
rals on the buildings behind her.
It is, as always, a relief when
the stakes in a Marvel thingama-
bob aren’t t he fate of the universe,
but solvable by human ingenuity
and just a wee bit of phosphores-
cent magic. Here, the (rather
promising) season-long mystery
seems to be the source of Kama-
la’s powers, which appear to re-
late to a great-grandmother’s un-
explained disappearance during
Partition, when, following Britishirksome display of Big Mouse’s
increasing, and increasingly ex-
hausting, self-referentiality.
“It’s not really the Brown girls
from Jersey City who save the
world,” sighs Kamala to her sci-
ence-geek friend Bruno (Matt
Lintz). The point of the show is, of
course, that it absolutely can be,
and that there’s no reason a
budding “enhanced individual,”
as emerging superheroes are
called by the bureaucrats who
track them, can’t incorporate
their cultural heritage into their
super-identity. In her Captain
Marvel costume, Kamala sports
plastic blond “hair” glued to the
top of her helmet. But under-
neath, her long, wavy black braid
trails behind her, which would be
no less glamorous were it allowed
to fly free.
The two episodes flit through
so many different facets and is-
sues pertaining to a Pakistani
immigrant family like Kamala’s
that they all feel a bit shoehorned
in. A teacher habitually calls her
“Camellia,” her older brother
(Saagar Shaikh) is afforded much
more freedom on account of his
sex by their parents (Mohan Ka-
pur and Zenobia Shroff), and
Kamala’s outspoken friend Nakia
(Yasmeen Fletcher) rolls her eyes
at how much more their history
