Across five episodes, Ms Marvel has taken an amazing journey through the origin story of Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan. One that took the character from North America to Pakistan. Also from his routine domestic life in search of a greater purpose. For his season finale, Ms Marvel returns to the central points of its premise and makes it clear that this growing heroine found her place. At the same time, a condition about the extraordinary that encompasses his ability to understand his own split nature.
Kamala is the hero who knows a bigger, more elaborate, and far more dangerous goal awaits him. The devoted daughter who told her family about her newfound powers. She is also the mysterious figure who traverses the city in an unusual display of skill. The time of fear and uncertainty has passed. And Ms. Marvel finds the meaning of all her potential that seemed vague in the last chapters. When not, directly lost.
If something is critical of Ms Marvel During the last few weeks, it was the powerful ethnic accent that seemed to blur the superhero tale. But the series, which is aware that Kamala is not just a girl with powers, examines the question of belonging.
Life is easier with superpowers, right?
This Muslim girl, who has just rediscovered the infinite lines that link her to her past, becomes the central point of a conspiracy. Back in North America, and this time faced with control and a difficult enemy, Ms. Marvel finds deeper meaning in herself. As well as the total justification of her personality as hero, teenager and part of a larger mysteryand what I could suppose.
In all the fullness of a newfound goal
With Kamran almost unwittingly at the core of the power between dimensions, Kamala must act. And not just for the sake of the unwitting victim of Los Clandestinos. At the same time, to avoid the fence that is tended around her. The series considers for the first time what it is like to be a hero – in the traditional way in a world marked by surveillance.
Perhaps a little late for the breadth of the concept, Ms Marvel State the reason for surveillance. In the world after the blip, the extraordinary is suspect. If in five episodes Ms. Marvel seemed more interested in celebrating her character as part of the world, she now shows how the world watches her. The way what she hides — or the power she holds over him — is seen as a threat out of necessity. Is the world that Marvel shows a survivor of a major event? Or, for the first time, is the franchise showing that heroic isn’t necessarily welcome?
What happens when a girl carries a formidable and unknown power on her back? More akin to its brilliant first two episodes, the season finale is an ingenious game of mirrors. Kamala embodies a kind of ideal goodwill that is profoundly ideal in the midst of a world wounded by a gigantic tragedy. This hero, who wears an outfit that celebrates her past and her present, is not the product of an accident. It’s the sum of all the parts of her and the season finale, she remembers it elegantly, shrewdly and well-constructed.
However, the closure of the story carries the weight of a certain plot imbalance. Despite its good intentions, the grand finale has something incomplete and unfinished. either because Ms Marvel ambitiously aimed at dozens of different places and failed to cohere their approaches skillfully. Or that the interest in the cultural context of the character takes time and develops the most heroic version of him. The Kamala who can finally show her full power is a rushed version of herself. A small one, without real development in equal parts between the girl behind the mask and the one who is able to show the sense of the surprising. A dichotomy that even in the final minutes of it, is more evident than ever.
Ms. Marvel at full power
However, the season finale Ms Marvel has a faster, more sophisticated, intelligent and well-constructed plot. A look at what the entire series could have been, to have a better balance between the context of his character and the look at his ability. When Kamala faces real and potentially uncontrollable danger, the series finally shows the action that was expected of her. Also the various nuances of the message in the background. The exclusion of the different, the battle for recognition and, in the end, the celebration of identity. All in the brilliant package of a short and slightly messy adventure about a hero in the making.
