Super Miss Marvel

The series "Miss Marvel" is one of the series of the fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe extended, and presents this character from the comic stories of the young girl loving superheroes, who lives a life similar to the life of any other teenage girl, but in the world of these heroes and "Avengers" (Avengers) there are Real flesh and blood characters.

Miss Marvel follows the news of these heroes and their adventures as they happen, and looks up to them as a role model, until she discovers, by chance alone, that she holds an unnatural strength like them that she inherited from her maternal grandmother, that mysterious woman whose life history is surrounded by secrets.

The first episode shows the nature of the lives of ordinary people in a world in which there are real Marvel heroes, which raises the imagination. (The Avengers), and she may have a bigger role in the upcoming films, especially the movie "The Marvels", which is expected to be shown next year and will include Captain Marvel, Miss Marvel, and also Monica Rambo, who we got to know about her character closely in the first Marvel TV series. Wanda Vision.

After showing two episodes of the “Miss Marvel” series, and waiting for 4 more episodes, the search for them begins from government agencies specialized in supernatural activities, and it is expected that the series’s itinerary will meet with the rest of the other series lines, to prepare the appropriate ground for the fifth stage of the Marvel universe, which has expanded greatly With the end of the third stage, with the start of the Disney Plus platform and the many Marvel series, which became confusing for the viewer with their number and characters.

In the Marvel universe and its fourth stage, teenagers have big roles, before it when "Spiderman" joined this world was a great reinforcement for the Avengers, as well as for Disney, this character closest to the audience of these films in terms of age was able to continue successfully with the absence of the two previous most important characters in the Marvel universe , namely Iron Man and Captain America.

Likewise, Kamla Khan or Miss Marvel is a very ordinary teenage girl character, many girls, especially those of different racial or ethnic origins, can identify with her, and with the conservative nature of her life because of her religion and Pakistani origin;

This attracts a large segment of the children of first- and second-generation American immigrants who were born in the United States, but are raised on a value system similar to those of their parents in their countries of origin.

Disney and walk the shattered land

With the start of the activity of the Disney Plus platform, the Arab viewer was eager to access it, as it offers a wide library of the most important international productions, especially after the various acquisitions it made in the past years, which included the works of Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars, in addition to studio classics. 20th Century Fox, but this Middle Eastern enthusiasm began to decline with new policies pursued by the global company that seeks to attract viewers of all races and inclinations, some of which did not suit the Arab viewer.

And the presence of a Muslim superhero - like Miss Marvel - was another option that was not random from Disney, in its constant quest to represent all races and ethnicities to please everyone and gain their loyalty, and after presenting a female superhero in a solo movie, "Captain Marvel", and a superhero of African descent is "" Black Panther", the turn came not only to a Muslim superhero, but also to represent the entire Indian subcontinent in Kamla Khan, while trying to present this great cultural heritage in 6 episodes.

But because Marvel and other Hollywood entities did not adequately study Muslim viewers in the Middle East;

She made many mistakes, according to many.

For example, one of the female figures made a few observations about the differences between the two sides of women and men in the mosque and the modesty of the first compared to the cleanliness and brilliance of the second, or the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, while no reference was made to the month of Ramadan or its fasting before this occasion.

These small details detract from the quality of the work, and raise criticism among the Arab viewer.
