I guess being a brown girl in US myself makes this highly relatable to me and frankly the lead and almost all the other characters are just so perfectly cast. And the cinematography and the music is just wow! Ingenious way of showing the vibrant imagination of Kamala, who is played so adorably by Iman.
I can understand some of the other reviewers who were sad about the below standard CGI effects, which is true and the messy storyline, which is also true. However, I didn't go into the series looking for another awesome effects Marvel movie, we have enough of those already. Neither did I expect a storyline that makes sense, most superhero stories are nonsensical if you really try to find scientific logic in them. It's a Disney TV show and it's aimed at young adults, so of course it's not too dark and the storyline is messy like most TV shows based on teenagers. But the story of Kamala Khan understanding her past and present and finding her own place in this world through her new-found superpowers and accepting herself as Ms Marvel was thoroughly enjoyable to me. Also, as an Indian, I would say however much they showed about the India-Pakistan partition wasn't wrong, anything more would have made it an R-rated show so of course they couldn't go into the dark details but they still did a great job.
And did I mention yet how cute her whole family is? Made me miss my mom, dad and brother and teen years which were weirdly similar even though so different. It's not a show for everyone, but come on a 1 or 2 is ridiculous, when the boring and over-saturated falcon and winter soldier has 7.2 on IMDb.
