Watched the first two eps, this isn't very good. Too Muslim-centric for me, I knew it was about a Muslim girl and her family to an extent but this is too much for me. All the middle school stuff is tired cliche you've seen a million times over. Her powers are weird and not what I expected.

The actress is also too heavy set, nothing interesting about watching a fat middle school girl. I don't know if I can power through the remaining 4 eps, maybe I'll watch them on 2x speed just to get through them fast.

If you watched them on Disney+ then you paid Disney to complain about a show you don't like.

Nah, I've never had a Disney+ subscription. Or a Netflix one, or a Paramount+ one, or an HBO max one. I don't even have an Amazon prime sub either.

Yet I still watched all these shows like Stranger Things, Obi-Wan, the Marvel shows, Star Trek Picard and Strange New Worlds, Young Justice, the Snyder cut of Justice League and countless other stuff. I just watch everything for free on the illegal streaming websites, not only is every show in one place, but it saves me time and money. Just think of all the money you could be saving!

I'm less concerned with saving my money and more concerned with not giving money to woke $#!(.

I will say that I wanted Ms. Marvel to do well. I think in spirit it's a good concept. But when you combine the woke $#!( zeitgeist with how it looks like they took from Quasar as a character and gave to Ms. Marvel as a character and between those two things I want nothing to do with it.

Left alone on it's own merits though it could've been worth supporting.

Why do you assume everyone who says they watch something you deem 'woke', you always accuse them of paying for it, and having subscriptions for streaming services? Every single time. Without fail. And multiple times (you've done it to me at least twice already).

Like Cyber says, illegal websites exist, and people use those. Or borrow physical media. Or whatever.

Why is it your concern how I spend my money, anyway? I'll buy and support whatever I want, bro. Maybe I'll go buy fifty copies of Captain Marvel DVDs at Walmart right now. I'll pass them around like candy to the childrens, just to 'indoctrinate' them, out of spite. (Especially fitting since you guys think I'm an evil 'groomer' or whatever )

I'm just giving you sh**. But whenever IMJ comments about "Don't pay for woke sh**" I never take it as a personal dig at me, but rather a broad reminder to not support a thing that's woke (like public service announcements). The problem is you keep taking it as a personal dig.

Ah, okay. I'll check in with IMJ every time I want to buy something. Wouldn't want to accidentally 'support the woke'! I would hate for the Milkyway bar I buy at the local convenience store be considered woke, and make IMJ mad at me.

I care nothing for Miss Marvel, but IMJ seems like a pretty cool dude. Would like to meet him someday.

Watched up to episode 5 now, yeah this is the worst Disney+ Marvel show so far. It's not even the writing, there's just not enough "story" to fill 6 episodes. So many useless filler scenes in every episode just to point out Muslim, Pakistan, or Indian culture. And none of this has anything to do with anything, or the main character, they're just showing us Muslim culture in every episode.

If anything this show is turning me off of Muslims, Indians, and Pakistani's, I feel like I'm being brainwashed into watching some propaganda about people from the middle east. Why do I need to sit through a weird Pakistan dance? Or wonder why her mother comes from India but also is Pakistani? Who cares about this?

Ugh, I'm going to go back to watching shows about mostly white people again after this.

Skimmed over the final episode.

Spoiler:
No cameos of any kind. Not Captain Marvel, Kate Bishop or anybody. Looks like just a lot of scenes of Ms. Marvel talking to her mom. And the end credit scene is just a couple of feds saying "we should bring her in."

A little bit of the X-Men 90s theme played when Kamala was described as having a 'mutation'

Oh God...

Are they going to play that theme every time they vaguely reference the X-Men? It's even dumber since Kamala isn't a mutant in the MCU (or did they change this during the course of the show at some point?), nor in the comics.

looks like Carol did show up at the end of the episode . She has Long Hair again instead of the short endgame haircut

Where the heck was that? I skimmed over the episode twice and didn't see anything. Is it like a 3 second thing?
