'Ms Marvel' Fan Review: 'Episode 5 was like watching a Pakistani movie!'

Fans have given rave reviews for the brilliant performances and amazing representation of Pakistani culture, especially in the fifth episode

‘Ms Marvel’ finally premiered with a bang globally in June at Disney+. The series has been adapted for screen from the iconic Marvel Comics character of Kamala Khan/Ms Marvel. The makers have been slowly releasing episodes from June till now, and it’s safe to say that ‘Ms Marvel’ has become a fan favorite across the globe. Fans have given rave reviews for the brilliant performances by the star cast and amazing representation of Pakistani culture, especially in the fifth episode. The series is also a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The series has been written and created by Bisha K Ali. Produced by Marvel Studios, the series has been helmed by Adil El Farbi and Bilall Fallah. Kevin Feige and Bisha K Ali serve as executive producer of the series.

The storyline in the first five episodes has been about American-Pakistani teenage girl Kamala Khan, who is initially very clumsy and rebellious, finally coming into her own as female superhero Ms Marvel aka Night Light; she saves residents in New Jersey from mishaps and becomes the talk of the town. But this journey is not really easy, as amidst all this there's her family who are way too protective of her, especially her mother Muneeba, who always disregards Kamala’s love for the Marvel world and the superheroes fantasy realm because she feels it is very childish.

Ever since the fifth episode of the series has dropped, fans have been raving about how the series has featured best performances from Pakistani stars Fawad Khan and Mehwish Hayat, who have joined the MCU with 'Ms Marvel'. They have especially been raving about the heartbreaking yet emotional depiction of India and Pakistan’s partition and the delicate love story blooming in the midst of all that blood and danger. “I mean seriously episode 5 was like watching a Pakistani movie! This is the year for Pakistan #MsMarvel @MehwishHayat #fawadafzalkhan @cokestudio @MarvelStudios,” wrote a fan.

“#Msmarvel Episode 5. Saddest death in the MCU? Also, best chemistry between any MCU characters (Aisha and Hassan)? Nice to hear Naseebo and Abda Parveen at the end. Although way too abrupt an ending,” said another fan. “@MehwishHayat in episode 5 of @msmarvel is everything I was hoping for! Amazing acting and ufff the last scene I cried. More power to you #MsMarvel #MarvelStudios,” added another fan.

“Damn! #MsMarvel episode 5 was great. The Indian partition flashbacks were exactly how my grandpa describes whenever he tells us his story about him coming to India during partition,” wrote a fan. “WOW… #MsMarvel episode 5 was so perfect and once again provided people with everything they asked for. I absolutely loved the full circle moment. It was very poetic,” added another one. “#MsMarvel Episode: 5 was a lot more emotional then I thought it was gonna be. I’m super excited for the finale and this show imo is one of the best MCU Shows alongside #WandaVision & #Loki,” a fan wrote. “#MsMarvel episode 5 is my favourite episode so far. Love the scenes centred on young Aisha. What a coincidence I thought about the meaning of my name yesterday! She who lives and Aisha had indeed lived life,” added another user.

‘Ms Marvel’ returns with the finale episode next week on July 13, 2022 at 12:30 pm ET.
