Popcorn Culture - Review: Ms Marvel

The latest release from Disney, Ms Marvel is six episodes that pack a lot into them (perhaps too much!). It tells the story of Kamala Khan, an Avengers and Captain Marvel-loving, Pakistani-American teenager who unlocks powers of her own, while negotiating family life, growing up, and generational trauma. In this review, we talk about where the series shines, and some instances where it takes on more than it can manage.
