This is a very interesting series. While I know the character of Kamala Khan from the comics they made some changes to her origin which I think work a little better for the MCU seeing as how the Inhuman side of the MCU did not work. The thing that stands out to me about this episode is the cinematography. It is really well shot and I love how they 'Scott Pilgrim' it so to speak. You have to pay attention to the background to see what's going on. One of the things that work well with this series is adapting Kamala's fangirl tendencies as well as her imagination. I liked the dynamic with her family as you can tell they love her but don't really understand her likes all that much. The family dynamic also felt real and not forced which I appreciate. Another thing I found enjoyable with this episode was how her plans are kind of like Michael Pena's stories from Ant-Man. They are hilarious and well done, you know they're not going to go like that but it's nice to see her plans are thought out to an extent.
The only problem I had with the episode is that there wasn't a clear villain setup. They had something during a post-credit scene but I don't have any clue who those people were so I'm at a loss. The reason I bring this up is that there are only 6 episodes and this may present a problem later on. I'll admit I never read her solo book so I have no idea where they could go with this and I'm along for the ride. That being said I enjoyed the first episode. The pacing was good and it didn't drag to me at all. The characters are portrayed well, especially Kamala's father and brother they are awesome. I'm interested in seeing where this may go as I'm pretty sure at this point that they are setting up Young Avengers. Did you watch the first episode of Ms. Marvel? What did you think? Leave a comment and let's talk about it.
