Ms. Marvel Makes Us Feel…Like Us Grounded Geeks

MAJOR SPOILERS in this episode for Ms. Marvel, streaming on Disney+. It finally happened. Our absolute favorite comic book series got turned into a LIVE ACTION TV SERIES. Welcome to the world of Ms. Marvel, folks! This show honestly means everything to us as Pakistani/Muslim Americans who grew up as the children of immigrants. Not only did we get to see a character who looked like us, talked like us, said Bismillah like us, but the show also took time to look at family traditions and the history of the formation of Pakistan in 1947. The fact that a Brown girl from New Jersey made us feel so many things is just…a marvel. She made us feel at home. ❤️ SHOW NOTES: groundedgeeks.medium.com
