| Ms. Marvel (2022) / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: The scene in the official trailer where Kamala discusses someone who finds her weird is after a scene of her and Zoe, implying she's talking about her school bully. In the series, she's in fact talking about Muneeba's dislike for her love of superheroes. | |

| Ms. Marvel (2022) / int_20989d05 | comment |
Parents as People: Kamala's relationship with her parents are as fraught as any teenager's, with the added complication of being Muslim immigrants in New Jersey. They're clearly struggling and doing their best and love their daughter, but not quite connecting with her. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Ms. Marvel (2022) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Mildly downplayed. The Destine family were neutral or good in the ClanDestine comics (with one exception), but the inverse seems to be true in this series. Only mildly downplayed because their ultimate goal is sympathetic (though we don't know why they were exiled), and it's hinted they are on a schedule. | |

How Do I Shot Web? | |
| Ms. Marvel (2022) / int_21fd09a7 | comment |
How Do I Shot Web?: Kamala's Training Montage starts with a lot of Epic Fail before she starts to get the hang of her powers. Even so, at the end of the episode, where she saves a boy from falling to his death, she still doesn't know how her powers work so it almost goes horribly wrong. | |

Alpha Bitch | |
| Ms. Marvel (2022) / int_22a27b19 | comment |
Alpha Bitch: Zoe Zimmer, much like in the comics. In the cinematic trailer, she's shown mispronouncing Kamala's name and snidely mocking her Avengers T-shirt. Just to hammer the point home, a pair of neon devil horns is doodled over her head in this scene. Though actually subverted in the series proper. While she's still dismissive of Kamala and not all too friendly with her, she isn't outright antagonistic towards her either. By the end they end up becoming friends. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Ms. Marvel (2022) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The teaser poster for the series of Kamala looking out towards Manhattan is based on Issue #5 of the original run. There are nods to the Inventor, Kamala's first big villain that she faced in the comics. When Kamala recaps the events of the Battle of Earth in the beginning of the first episode, a cockatiel is briefly seen on a wall as Kamala introduces Captain Marvel in her Fanfic. Another reference to the Inventor can be found in the scene in the first episode where Kamala and Bruno are sitting on a rooftop: a sign behind them reads "Edison Electronics". The Inventor was a clone of Thomas Edison who ended up as a bird monstrosity due to a cockatiel contaminating the experiment (Yes, really). Also during the recap, when Carol repeatedly shakes her head until she reaches her Avengers: Endgame hair-do, she cycles through her classic hairstyles from the comics. The sign on the school guidance counselor's desk reads "GWW", referencing Kamala's co-creator and original writer, G. Willow Wilson. Wilson is also listed by name on the dedication plaque of Kamala's school. Zoe's inaccurate Captain Marvel cosplay heavily resembles Carol Danvers' Ms. Marvel leotard. It also serves as Self-Deprecation on Marvel's part, as Bruno and Kamala deride the costume for being inaccurate and impractical. Episode 6's opening has a Freeze-Frame Bonus with "est 2014" directly under the Ms. Marvel logo; a nod to when Kamala Khan made her solo debut in the comics. The Creative Closing Credits are full of artwork taken directly from the original comic. Kamala's maternal grandmother is named Sana, after Sana Amanat, one of Kamala's co-creators. The final episode finally gives us the line, "If you've saved one life, you've saved the world." from the comics; Kamala's true inspiration to be a hero. | |

Also in the first episode, the text messages that Kamala and Bruno exchange are not shown as text bubbles, but are instead integrated into the scenery, such as the pattern of stars from her nightlight, road markings, and neon signs in the windows of the Circle Q shop. Many of these are practical effects. | |

The sixth has Muneeba insisting that she and Yusuf can trust Kamala, and making her her official costume as Ms. Marvel. In the first episode, Kamala says to Bruno, "It's not really the brown girls from Jersey City who save the world." Toward the end of the sixth episode, Yusuf reminds her that she saved Kamran and paraphrasing the Talmud, "If you save one life, well, you've saved the world." | |

| Ms. Marvel (2022) / int_53677c0e | comment |
Generational Trauma: Back during the Partition of India, Aisha became separated from her family in the chaos of thousands of future Pakistani citizens scrambling to find space on the trains. Her daughter Sana almost became lost as well, but was led back to her father by a mysterious "trail of stars". Sana spent the next seven decades obsessively trying to prove that the trail of stars actually existed, and consequently alienated her own daughter, Muneeba, who viewed her as a flighty and unreliable parent. Eventually, Muneeba and her husband Yusuf, seeking a better life for themselves and their newborn son Aamir, left for America, where they eventually had a second child, Kamala. In the present, Muneeba's disdain for the supernatural puts her at odds with the now-teenage Kamala, who has grown up in a world of superheroes, but her guilt about abandoning her mother has filled her with a fear that Kamala will eventually abandon her, causing her to try and stop Kamala from becoming more independent. | |

Adaptational Superpower Change: In the comics, Kamala only has the power to change the size and shape of her body, along with shapeshifting which she rarely uses. In the show, she has the power to create crystalline constructs, which she's shown using in a manner similar to her elongated limbs from the comics. In the comics, the Destine family have individual powers. Here, the Clandestines all have Super-Strength and some degree of invulnerability. | |

| Ms. Marvel (2022) / int_5473668f | comment |
Logo Joke: The Marvel Studios logo sequence for the first episode ends with the logo performing an Art Shift to match the hand-drawn art style Kamala uses for her Fanfic at the beginning of the series. While not a company logo itself, the Ms. Marvel logo and accompanying background(s) in the show's title sequence change every episode. Given how there are a lot of these variations (approximately around 12 per episode), the title sequence effectively takes the trope up to eleven. The Marvel Studios logo for Episode 5 suddenly shifts to something resembling an old newsreel, befitting the fact that most of the episode takes place during the Partition. | |

White-and-Grey Morality | |
| Ms. Marvel (2022) / int_58962105 | comment |
White-and-Grey Morality: Kamala is traditionally heroic and uses her powers for good. Najma and the Clan Destines just want to go home, but are willing to go to extreme lengths in order to do so. Agent Sadie Deever is closest thing to a truly villainous character, due to her being a racist and a Rabid Cop. | |

Grounded Forever: Kamala is grounded by her parents for ruining Aamir's wedding by pulling the fire alarm. Naturally, Kamala can't explain that she did this to save all the guests from the ClanDestine. Though since her family is much warmer to her after learning that she's "Night Light", it's implied they've figured out why she did it, have forgiven her for it, and removed this punishment. | |

Pronouncing My Name for You: Kamala explains that her name is pronounced "kuh-MAH-luh" rather than the more well-known "KAH-muh-luh." G. Willow Wilson went into detail about the pronunciation in a twitter thread, explaining that they're technically two different names: KAH-muh-luh is a Tamil name, while kuh-MAH-luh is a feminized form of the Urdu name Kamal, hence the different pronunciations. They just happen to be written the same. | |

Cute Clumsy Girl | |
| Ms. Marvel (2022) / int_89fcfa0b | comment |
Cute Clumsy Girl: Early in the show, Kamala's physical awkwardness as a teen girl with an overactive imagination is emphasized. She gets hit in the head with a ball in gym (multiple times), crashes her car during a driving exam because she had it in reverse, falls over while getting dressed in a hurry, bumps into people at school, and sets off Disaster Dominoes at AvengerCon. None of it is intentional, and part of it is that her head is so full of daydreams that she dramatically overestimates her capabilities in reality. Her plan to acrobatically leap out of her bedroom window and vault from a tree branch is slightly less magnificent when she actually tries it. | |

Cape Busters: Damage Control reappears as one of the primary antagonists of this series, and they seem to have gotten worse than how they were depicted in No Way Home. In particular, Agent Cleary returns, and still doesn't have any problem with interrogating teenagers. His partner Agent Deever is even worse, casually trying to racially profile "Night Light" (even mockingly asking if she's "supposed to say Latinx now") which Cleary is visibly uncomfortable with. She then waltzes right into the mosque without a search warrant and expects to be given answers. And if that wasn't enough, the Clandestines don't even last longer than five minutes in their (supposedly) max-security prison before they easily escape to Karachi in the fourth episode, also serving as a show of their incompetence. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Ms. Marvel (2022) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The show drops multiple hints about Kamala's hidden family history that the show's creator promised would be the focus of the series. In the first episode, it's the box of bangles that Muneeba's mother sends to Kamala, one of which clearly upsets Muneeba, and which turns out to be Kamala's power-unlocking bracelet. Also in the first episode, the falafel cart guy mentions that corporate guys are buying up the whole neighborhood, which could be a simple Mythology Gag to the HYDRA arc in the comics or a set-up for the second season. In the second, it's the fact that her grandmother made it back onto the train, despite her injured father being unable to keep up with her, having "followed a trail of stars". Also in the second, Kamran's mother says she's wanted to meet Kamala for a long time, despite her powers only having awakened a few days previous, suggesting he really is a distant cousin, like in the comics. In the first episode, Aamir and Yusuf both make offhand references to the Djinn, which at first glance looks like a reference to Islamic mythology. In the third episode, we learn that Kamala is a Djinn-human hybrid through her mother's side of the family, and her great-grandmother was one of the Clandestine, a group of exiled Djinn seeking a way to return home. Agent Deever's egregious racism when tracking down the "enhanced individual", while sadly Truth in Television for a law enforcement officer when dealing with a case involving a person of color, is very similar to the government's racism in the comics towards mutants. Bruno reveals after looking at Kamala's genes that she has "a mutation". | |

Mood Whiplash: Invoked by Cleary during his interrogation of Zoe, getting her to warm up to him by pretending to be a fan, bonding with her, and then accusing Kamala of trying to kill her, then swerving into accusing her and Kamala of faking it. | |

Imagine Spot: When explaining her plan to sneak out to AvengerCon to Bruno, Kamala imagines herself in a more impressive Captain Marvel costume, has her and Bruno pull off dangerous bike stunts with ease and has it end with winning the costume contest. Another fantasy sequence briefly seen in the trailer has her Kamran "seductively" biting on a large rose while looking at her. | |

Improbable Falling Save: Double Subverted in "Crushed". When a young boy falls out of a tower, Kamala uses her powers to hold him up until she can get in position underneath him. He slips, and she tries to catch him, only for his weight and momentum to make her fall too. She manages to catch them both with her powers before they hit the ground. | |

Everyone Has Standards: Sure, Zoe is pretty insensitive and a bit of a bully at times, however that doesn't mean she's willing to out the identity of her rescuer to two clearly skeevy government agents. In the final episode, she ends up helping Kamala as a thanks for saving her from the fall in AvengerCon and uploads a video to get the community out to protect Kamala from Damage Control. Agent Cleary, who has previously been shown to have no qualms about using dirty tactics to elicit confessions from suspects, grows silently disturbed when his partner, Agent Deever, uses racial profiling to try and evoke a confession. Later, when he finds out that she's attacking a school to get at a pair of suspects, he firmly orders her to stand down. When she ignores him and doubles down on the raid, which also deals a massive blow to Damage Control's PR, he tells her in no uncertain terms that she is out of a job. | |

My Beloved Smother: Muneeba is this to Kamala, forbidding her from attending AvengerCon and demanding she focus on her studies instead. Downplayed in the first episode when she attempts to reach a compromise with Kamala to go with her father, but plays the trope straight after Kamala unintentionally insults them. Later on, she's happy to let Kamala go to Zoe's party, but on the condition that she returns before nine and that she'll use the door this time instead of sneaking in through the window. | |

Mind Screw: When Kamala first dons the bracelet, she takes a brief trip to Another Dimension (apparently only in her mind, as neither Bruno nor anyone else notices) full of glowing purple light and lots and lots of dark figures with glowing eyes. It's never mentioned again in the episode and no explanation is offered, fueling tons of fan speculation. | |

Not only is the title character and her family of Pakistani heritage, but the series also features a Black American convert (or rather, revert) as a supporting character—Kamala's new sister-in-law—and both Black and White American Muslim reverts as background characters. | |

Refuge in the West | |
| Ms. Marvel (2022) / int_f690d996 | comment |
Refuge in the West: As in real life, the Partition drove most of India's Muslim population towards Pakistan, the westernmost part of what had been British India, in order to escape growing persecution from India's Hindu majority. Kamala's great-grandmother, Aisha, died during the mad scramble for one of the westward trains. This would become the start of the Khan family's Generational Trauma, as Aisha's young daughter Sana spent the next seven decades obsessed with learning what became of her mother, causing her to neglect her own daughter, Muneeba, who in turn grew up to be overly protective of her daughter Kamala. | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
| Ms. Marvel (2022) / int_fed93e1b | comment |
Dark and Troubled Past: The Partition of India after World War II is first brought up during the dinner with Tyesha in the second episode and is a major event in the Kahn family's past. It was a horrible time, with hundreds of thousands of people, possibly millions, dying to religious and ethnic violence as refugees tried to cross the new borders in both directions. In keeping with the lighter and fluffier tone this series is trying to set, the violence is only hinted at, but Aamir lampshades it. Muneeba in particular is hit hard by this because her grandmother Aisha did something so infamous and unacceptable during the Partition that the Illumin-Aunties gossip about her and she refuses to talk about her. | |
