Coolest thing since Miles Morales and the Spider-Verse!!!!!
I am a Pakistani I was born in Malaysia but I never forgot my routes so I went back to my country and lived in Pakistan and proud to be Pakistani
I watched the first episode and she definitely played her part extremely well ðŸ˜ÅÂ
Looking forward for more episodes
"We wanted to show it as real as possible don't want to glamorize religion"
Ep 1 :*shows according to the western standards (not realistic at all)*
Love the show. She has incredible talent and lol so adorable!!!!
They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper. Quran 4:89
And as for those who are guilty of an indecency from among your women, call to witnesses against them four (witnesses) from among you; then if they bear witness confine them to the houses until death takes them away or Allah opens some way for them. Quran 4:15
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰💖
Erm, she's not really considered a Muslim by mainstream Sunni Muslims as she belongs to a sect (Ismaili) within Shia strand of Islam. So not sure why her 'Muslimness' is being lauded. Having said that, I'm all for diversity in cinema and this is a great move by Marvel (I am a fan).
Muslim women don’t talk… Her face is also showing. Stop lying to us.
Islam and Muslims couldn’t even conceive of anything like America much less build it themselves so if certain people couldn’t create a culture why should they be celebrated by it. It doesn’t make sense. They have their place in the world. It just isn’t in the the West.
She is absolutely adorable! If she where blonde haired blue eyed she would be America's Sweetheart. Instead she will forever be the target of ignorant trump cultists
Everything about Democrats is race and religion.. She's a cool character we don't care what religion she is or what her race is… Everything is about race baiting and religion baiting when it comes to your titles
Super slam the WTC.
Fart in a Box!
i love how she's so articulate, we're a year apart and the way she patiently build up her point on the representation point is impressive to me cs i feel like I would've just give up and say "im glad that now brown Pakistani muslim are on mcu" or something way simpler than that
stop saying brown people.
Every single Super Hero is history has been 100% atheist…..AWESOME to see a FAITH-based character.
The first Muslim in marvel is black panther but Ms. marvel is the first woman’s Muslim in marvel
LMAO!!!! Looks like 1993 power ranger trash! Did any one else see any brown people i sure didn't. Ignorant POS!
It flopped
Good kid. Good situation. I hope it remains that way for both. And she is natural about the balance of cultures and honest about its place in her life. Now… clearly someone has managed to do it without "grossly overdoing it", take note hollywood, disney. Genuine is what people want. When you cant determine what that is? Step out of the way please.
finally seeing good muslim representation in the west that isn't hyper exotic or stereotyped
So proud of her ☺ðŸ˜ÅÂ
I hope fame doesn’t ruin her life
Ini seolah olah menjadi nyata, Marvel Cinematic Universe adalah Tatanan Dunia Baru
What the f. Is Muslim experience i mean show some sensitivity abc.
