Ms. Marvel
Series · 2022
A great student, avid gamer, and voracious fan-fic scribe, Kamala Khan has a special affinity for superheroes, particularly Captain Marvel. However, she struggles to fit in at home and at school — that is, until she gets superpowers like the heroes she’s always looked up to. Life is easier with superpowers, right?
The sides of Ms. Marvel
- A teenage Captain Marvel superfan
- A bangle that gives her powers
- A Pakistani family in Jersey City
Ms. Marvel is good for you if…
- you like a teenager who is a superhero fan before she is a superhero.
- you like a household where her mother weighs more than any villain.
- you want a Marvel story you can watch with younger children.
Ms. Marvel is bad for you if…
- you roll your eyes at warm family lessons and heartfelt speeches.
- you want real danger rather than a bright teenage adventure.
