Kamala Khan's culture shapes who she is and who she will be as MsMarvel.
Editor's note: The below article contains spoilers for Episode 1 of Ms. Marvel.There’s been a lot of discourse already about how the MCU plans to integrate the world of its new character, Ms. Marvel a.k.a. Kamala Khan , with the larger story and formula that fans are familiar with. After all, a brown Pakistani-American Muslim girl isn’t the type of hero you picture when you think of the MCU.
The series is also careful to not make her mom too overbearing and annoying, making sure that even in the first episode we are aware that she is always there for Kamala and is her staunchest defender. Her cursing at the drivers' education instructor, saying that Kamala couldn’t have done anything wrong was a cute touch. She is also very loving toward her husband, attentive to the needs of her daughter , and looks after Bruno , offering him lots and lots of food just so he won’t get hungry.
Kamala’s culture clearly plays a big role in her life and who she is, and the series manages to showcase this not through the script and plot points, but through the set design itself. There are Quranic verses on the walls of the house and Pakistani flourishes in the decoration. Their trip to get clothes for her brother’s wedding also shows a lovely new side of New Jersey as the neighborhood they are in feels predominantly Pakistani, from the wall art to the stores and shopkeepers.
There is plenty of presence of Kamala’s faith, Islam, in the first episode as well. Her brother Aamir , being a devout Muslim, complete with a full beard, is a great way to break the stereotype of Muslim men being dangerous if they are too religious.
